Thanks hank. I was lucky to even capture this on my piece-of-crap Nikon Coolpix camera which wasn't even made for taking videos. But, the footage still managed to rake in over 25,000 hits! And now, fortunately for those complainers, there is a better quality vid of this out there somewhere. I agree - the more T, the better! Here's to a great tour this year! *clink!*
why do you people give such negative comments? the uploader admits it's bad sound, so why do you need to say it too? do you have a better version of it than this? if not, STFU!!
anyway, thanks to the uploader, the more Tori, the better.
since when should every cover be a cookie cutter of the original? what would the point of covering songs be? tori took the song and did exactly what she should have done with it. it's not the original. you don't have to like it. but that's a silly reason to be upset over it.
I agree the lyrics is about loneliness, but the way Britney presents it, it shows optimism and strength and looking forward to happy future (positive). Listen to this version, you feel as if this person is drowning in sorrows and give up due to depression (negative). It's just depressing listening to it. Search for Britney's current Circus tour Baby One More Time version, you'll know what I mean.
Sounds to me you are having problems with so called 'negativity'. Without negativity there can be no positivity. The beauty and healing of a person lies in the area where the pain lies.
And it's rather negative to be so upset about a version which an artist is free to interpret.
Yes, I'm upset because she ruins a wonderful song which happens to be my favorite. Ok, so beauty is where pain is, that's a very crooked concept. Keep on being more depressed is the way to go through life then.

She completely changed a happy song to make it sound so depressing. What a shame! I hate it when famous people do a cover and completely ruin a song. I'm sorry I accidentally hear this version.
And I had the exact opposite problem of your footage. My clip has nice clear audio with bad out of frame video... see my 'video response' if you want to listen.
Or, I can just remove this video altogether. I knew it was a crappy recording - I just didn't know I'd get so much negative responses about it. As far as I know, it's the only video recording of it.

Nobody said cover has to be cookie cutter. However, ruining a wonderful song is a problem.

Well you have the right to your opinion. And you don't undetstand what I mean with healing lies where the pain lies.
But this is not a therapeutic site, its youtube :-)
Just let it go.
Bye bye

The audio is fine on my video clip but I wasn't able to record very much before an usher came after me. Too bad you didn't use my camera!
I uploaded what I was able to get anyway :)
