[RespektMyBlueLips]

The people who disliked this song dont love their mothers!!!!!!! Seriously, though, this song is brilliant and i truly cant understand who can dislike this. RESPEKT!!!!!!!

[leeves123]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! THIS song was SO fun to see live...LOVE YOU REGINA!!!

[swiminthissilense]

absolutly beautiful! ALERT: regina lovers, i did a cover of this song! ; ) i like it if you saw it and commented and said which one of hers songs i should do next! RESPEKT!<3

[Notmineonline]

arrrrrrrrrrrgh I fucking love that girl. marry me. do whatever u want with me

[PatrickJForrest]

i love how she screams 'god damn young,' at the end... it's sexy

[DJpopel]

WTF is this? For some reason I like it....

[existingeric]

@DJpopel This is pure talent. Amazing.

[chil182]

She's so goddamn young here :D

[Mario12874]

@chil182 I know right, sometimes I wish she would of stayed a little unknown treasure so I could have seen her in a small venue like this but I'm also glad she has gotten reconitiion

[itsmecrystallee]

@Mario12874 wtf if talent like her is unknown then its a shame cause that would'd mean that this world is tone deaf

[andMaskellshrugged]

Oh man when was she at Barfly? I would happily put up with that scuzzy place to see what she just did!

Mind? Boggled.

[twopointninenerds]

Where is this incarnation of Spektor hiding? Her last couple albums have been over produced watered down facsimiles. When did the music industry decide that a human on a piano, playing something honest and beautiful was too plain? Very distressing.

[Evangeline30575]

@twopointninenerds I think it was her recent move into more television and working with "Established" people in the more poppy side of music i personally am not a fan of the prerecorded sounds put to her haunting lyrics and piano when i listened to "Blue Lips" after she recorded it in the studio it killed me! But at least i can watch these oldies!

[twopointninenerds]

@Evangeline30575 If you can find "Songs" I would strongly recommend it; it is rather sublime. It contains a demo version of samson that destroys the LP version as well as two acapella tracks.

[Evangeline30575]

@twopointninenerds You know what "Songs" would have to be my FAVORITE album of hers it's just amazing in to many ways to describe! What is your album of hers?

[TheAngryChav]

she played the barfly?!? that place is awesome. it's so small

[KittyRika]

She is RESPEKTor.

[giselle21able]

WTF!!!! Shes psycho! I love it!

[ThomasReedMusic]

1:24-1:26 is the cutest thing Ive ever seen ever.

[PanicMaiden]

Oh, my god. I'm sorry. All I could say after watching this video was, "WOW! She's sooo fucking AMAZIIIIIING!!!" I particularly like when she does Poor Little Rich Boy live. She gets so into it and to see that smile on her face was just a brilliant moment. =D She's too beautiful and her performances are ALWAYS over the top. She never fails to impress. The six who disliked this video are OUT of their minds!!!

[neoninagirl]

Soviet Kitsch is one of my favorite albums of all time.

[misscharliebrown123]

i loved her live

[braingloop]

shes so weird in the best way

[Serialangel]

I have awesome memories of listening to this on Xfm and it was the first time I had ever listened to her music, and it's been a total obsession ever since :)

[p0k3m4ns]

so cute how she gets tired at the end <3

[Anokpoet]

Is this Spektorbot 1.0. Dang she is doing at least 4 things at once. Singing, playing piano, being awesome and drumming pretty decently for doing other things. She must be a humanoid robot. I always knew it...LOL!

Really good performance, though I must be honest I liked it better on Soviet Kitsch.

[quackers29]

Regina is amazing and super cute!

[Alanisteamo]

SHE SIS AMAZING

[ohhhgravity]

i would think that someone else would be banging the drumstick.

i'd get super lost if i was doing all three things.

i love this gurl so much :]

[elebunny45]

Meh=luvs ReSpekt

[Wandall13]

she's a genious!

[valeriaisblitz]

i love her,

she can look so innocent,

but then act like she's not,

and god, she's so amazing.

[gringaaccent]

How does this only have 60580 views??

[GregPalka]

This is love....

[sedona3player]

she has such a cute smile and is so so talented :) how is she doing three things at once!?! that's impossible I thought

[SMFApples]

To play this EXACTLY or even better than the track like this is what real music is. She is amazing.

[NikkiBay8]

Do you know how hard it is to play the piano, sing, and chop a stick with all different beats??? I'm sing well but I can barely clap on an off beat at the same time. D:

[eseigriegao]

skills

[offintonebula]

<3 <3 LOVE LOVE LOVE. her. so. much.

[kendracelise]

DO YOU KNOW HOW FREAKING AMAZING YOU HAVE TO BE TO KEEP RHYTHM LIKE THAT WITH A CHAIR AND A STICK WHILE PLAYING THE PIANO WITH ONLY ONE HAND OMG THAT WAS A MAJOR RUN ON SENTENCE! Oh well! Regina was worth it!

~Kendracelise

[Qrayon]

@kendracelise It's not a run-on sentence until "OMG."

[klachopis]

Holy shit. To deliver a single performance of that caliber would probably make my entire life. And believe me I've tried.

[MrtviPas]

1:21 - 1:23 goddammit *_*

[puppyprincess505]

@MrtviPas yeah seriously. she can belt it like a 300 pound black woman. lol

[feliponsh]

LOOOL

[hyperfunkd]

Agreed with previous poster... every performance of each song is totally different in some way, but all amazing... even when she does screw up a bit!

Can't believe until a few months ago I only knew one song of her's, now she's one of my fave artists! Woo! Amazing!

[nicotinization]

If you watch her other performances of this song, you'll notice she fucks up a lot. :D However, when she doesn't, she's pretty amazing... And she's amazing when she does fuck up, too... What exactly did I want to say? I don't know, but who cares... Go Regina! :D

[freezetime0]

Love her(:

[JeSuisStupideEtChaud]

Her rhythm amazes me. It's lovely to see how much she enjoys herself

[shortvidsshortpeeps]

i love her...i have like ALOT of her records she is amazing like HOW DOES SHE DO THIS it just makes you think...i was trying to watch taylor momsen HER LYRICS ARE SO BAD and regina has just really good interesting lyrics

[DaggyLil]

I love this song, it's amazing how she's playing the piano and using the drumstick too, and she's playing with just her left hand, that's amazing in itself to me simply because I was so crap at the left hand when I played piano... but I suppose the left hand thing isn't so amazing.

[RedwineSuccess116]

regina=quirk

[Asizzler123]

She is mind boggling

[desmopstochter]

how is she doing this? i would be so overstrained... i mean piano, drumstick and singing... thats enviable!

[maddielikesmusic]

I tried this once, with the drumstick, and i always lose my place around the time she says "Poor little rich boy, all the world is okay" So yeah, im pretty envious of her!

[pinkfedora91]

catcher in the rye anyone?

[jennasaurausrex]

yes! i never thought about that. clever clever clever.

[wlf2241]

yes. definitely. :)

[xlunatichigh]

You just blew my mind, dude.

[chatoma]

yeah I can see that. great book, great singer.

WOAH

[bebopBAMBAM]

the fast parts caught me off guard!

she is amazingly talented.

i could barely type while listening to this. lol

[STHanson08]

holy shit wtf TALENT!

[Miana85]

molodec!!!

[Squirttheladybug]

i love it!!!!!

[nuttimonkey]

how does she do what she does??? It's so freakingly intense!

and i love her lyrics to all her songs. they're awesome

[kelliletner]

WOW, I can't believe she does the drumstick and plays at the same time while singing that with that rhythm.

she is so amazing.

[deavine25]

ye i was one of those, "what the hell ??"

but now i found myself incomplete without listening to her songs..

love her sooo

[jojokerus]

Great song - impressive multitasking

[rickypaulgriffin]

can you believe that was november 13 2004!

[turnip1987]

I tried to play this, and only got as far as the first verse.

Props to her!

[FuroWarrior]

wiiiiii ck ee D -

[fkcneo]

nice multitasking but music...

[classifieds103]

I don't know why people marked this person down. He was probably new to Regina's songs or new to Poor Little Rich Boy. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE THIS SONG. But I must admit when I first heard of Regina, I didn't like this song. The thing with her, at first you don't think you like it but once her songs grow into you, you fall in love. I'm pretty sure fkcneo is at the early stages of Regina love (lol)

[Swingfinger]

I agree 100% with your comment :). I really didn't like her when I first heard fidelity but now she is one of my favorite artists and I love every one of her songs. You kind of have to grow into some of her more experimental material because some of her techniques can be irritating at first.

[spitballz]

oh me too

i started listening to most of her old stuff after i heard fidelity and bought her cd

all of her songs on begin to hope are good

and i even found some of her unreleased tracks on youtube

and they're as wonderful as the rest of her music

[Pr0mowicz]

awesome song

[lifehappens]

she is so freaking talented is there anything she cant do?

[classifieds103]

she can't become untalented I'll tell you that :)

[heartcontusion]

This is so awesome.

[nemo379]

god she is like the queen of multitasking!

[emosux94]

it's pretty amazing that she can multitask like that...

but what i actually LOVE about her is...

HER SOUND it's like, SO UNIQUE

[InfiniteWallflower]

only regina could play the back of a chair and make it sound awesome. <3

[dbh259]

She's a great multitasker. I'd get so confused if I did that.

[InterplanetJanet77]

I think she has a lot of fun when she sings this song :-)

[turnip1987]

lol, i tried to do it and messed up immedietley.

[IamaGilbertGrape]

does she use the same chair every where she goes?

[aliahnikki]

I don't know seems like it some times that would so be regina though lol

[aliahnikki]

I don't know seems like it some times that would so be regina though lol

[kandibearx3]

nope, i've seen different chairs. that would be incredible if she did, though.

[CherrySprings]

I have a copy of the song All the Rowboats, taped from a live show and I hear her say at the end "I've got a new chair in every city". :D

[subliminalblip56]

ye jis goat tae lurve her,likesay?

[BeyondWonderland]

this is my sorta theme song. I love it

[ohGoshx]

blown awayyy.

this is beautiful.

[PervyMuskrat]

She's so talented. Playing the piano, singing and keeping a beat is very hard.

[pancakedinosRAWR]

omg.

... that's talent.

haha.

[kelbob93]

that must b hard to play the piano, sing, and keep the beat. i dont think i could do that.

[MNBTM]

your talking about that?!

what about "you think that you should but you think that she's fat but she isn't but you don't love her anyway"

i had to PRACTICE to learn how to sing along XD

[KoalaBella17]

Same

[whatthemyke]

whoa! that's one challenging lyrics.. i must study it! weeeee!

[indymind89]

she should become a drummer!

[HannerBananer5]

what did she say in the beginning?

[Scampfarmer]

'More drumsticks though, that's the fun way'. I think. Anyone else?

[bloomingauthor7]

I think it's "that's the fun one". idk. :D

[Shalebot]

She's so talented. I recently tried to replicate this in the bathroom by taking a shit and hitting a chair with a drumstick at the same time, but I just couldn't pull it off.

Albeit, I think I would've sounded better if I had only been better at multitasking.

[KoalaBella17]

That would be really funny to watch!

[CatsAndRabbits]

don't you dare be dissing regina spektor...don't even try...

[doutzen177]

@CatsAndRabbits Regina is an true artist!!!!!! :D

[IamaGilbertGrape]

the fact it distracts you enough to keep you from spelling shit right

[aremmendez]

woooow! drumz wid piano!!!! amazing!

[UnaNiCharthaigh]

Jaysus this is absolutely class!!

[Motherlyclucker]

i cant even play the piano and sing at the same time, let alone play the the drums at the same time!

[piratedyke]

That song looks pretty hard to do live. Uber multitasking. But she pulls it off. Respekt.

[mitchell2008]

I love this song. Kind of helps me realize that I'm somewhat of a peice of shit.

[jt1421]

LOL. Regina can do that to you. ;)

[vixxytoriaaa]

xD

ahaha

omg

never really heard that it had that kind of effect.

but now that i think about it...

[royalicecream]

brilliant! and the drums are cool =)

she's so awesome!

[agusia87s]

I love you, Regina :*

[meteorite]

I've never thought that she was also the one doing the percussion beats on her album... She's amazing! and super smart!

[cirqueclown]

SO TALENTED! I tried singing and using my hand as a drum stick...and I failed..she also plays the piano at the same time!!

[ambikameister]

EEEEEEEEEE

she's fuckin' awesome!

[kekoaT]

genious .. and super cute .. sigh i'm in love

[xmadzappa]

She's brilliant. Yeah, the comparisons that people make get kind of lame, there's certain influences you can hear in her music though - in this song I hear a little Patti Smith influence.

[lovelymetaphors]

Ha! Spiffiness.

[aonex]

Damn the comparisons, she's just Regina.

[JmanFromTheEast]

I read a comment on Regina on youtube dismissing her as the love child between Bjork and Tori Amos. I see her as more of the triumphent apprentice daughter of Fiona Apple and The Ramones.

[PyramidHeadRox]

Wait yeah, actually in some of her songs, part of the sessions she sounds a bit like bjork!

[JmanFromTheEast]

WHAT THE! I did not say that? I have never even seen this video? WHAT THE! I don't even know who that is.

[foureverblue127]

Thank you for posting this. It's amazing.

[niceparabola]

Yess Regina's awesome. This is one of my favourites of hers :) Thanks!

[daveandwhatever]

wow... she's pretty much amazing. the drums thing... and I love when she goes quite out of time. it's ace.

[vhatzabloodyell]

I agree. Very ace =]

[yourfaultpoops]

I LOVE YOU

[jinndtonic]

[m3nd3s]

[killerofangel]
