Fiona Apple "Fast As You Can" (1999)

[MadeOopsi]

Ugh I wish the sound quality was better

[bryanaparis]

i cant believe that someone that born when this video came out is now 12 now :-\

[Xaro80]

Fiona es demaaaaaaaaasiado buena !!!!! Es un misterio que sea tan cautivante... Me encanta verla bailar...., En suma, Fiona es linda-linda-linda

[silverhammer221188]

que belleza

[chaochiik]

oh fiona needs to make another album just one more to complete my fucking life!

[lunadeagua1]

XD

[DaigoMoustache]

I love how she sounds the same live as she does on her CDs. She is so talented. Beyond talented!

[jons44]

I think I saw this all those years ago. This was on SNL right?

[Facialcream13]

As the 90's came to an end so did Fiona Apple. So this is a case in point

[zzzzzzzzzZZ2222]

@Facialcream13 actually she released another album in like 2006 or something, with another I think, though i'm not sure, meant to come out next year

[filmbuff64]

oh dear me ....I,m not suposed to like this stuff at my age ...65.... I LOVE IT >>>this lady is MAGIC she appeals to my artistic eccentricity I think.

[MegaWhiner]

@filmbuff64 I'm 57 and love her! Watching this with my 4 year old grandson and he likes the "singing and dancing." Look around old man, you'll fall in love with her.

[butterflypiano]

@MegaWhiner Omg you're so cute. l'm 15 years old, and MY grandpa (age 60) plays the drums in a Rock'n'Roll band and likes Fiona's music, too (I showed him her music), and when he's listening to music or is playing himself, he seems to be born just to rock. And he seems to be as young as I am when he's on stage, I'm so proud of him.

So don't worry, he's older than you and his friends are listening to Folk music, but is he taking care? I really love your thinking.

[MegaWhiner]

@butterflypiano Ha! Thanks. When I was a kid I had a drum set, just played to records. Fiona would be hard to play with. How did you find Fiona? You're kind of young for the typical Fiona fan.

[butterflypiano]

@MegaWhiner Yeah, her beats are really difficult, so fast. I play her music on the piano but I've never tried it on the drums before (I sometimes play a little bit around, too) :)Well, I am a huge Regina Spektor Fan (might know her?), and I also listen to stuff like Amanda Palmer (maybe not yours, kinda Punk Cabaret), so mainly female singer-songwriters, mainly on the piano. And yeah, I was rummaging for stuff like that, found Fiona and fell in love with her and her music.

[butterflypiano]

@MegaWhiner And honestly, I don't understand why everyone in my age is listening to crap like Lady Gaga or Katy Perry and all that pop-shit on TV, I mean, you zap to MTV or so and you wnt to listen to music, but what you're finding there is no music anymore, it's just making-money-with-sex and so on. My family is a rock-family, everyone's playing an instrument :D and I early was teached what REAL music is. Thank God we have music like Fiona's, even it's not on TV anymore.

How did you find her?

[MegaWhiner]

@butterflypiano I took a peek at your channel. There were some complementary comments to you. You must be a nice person. Your grandfather must be proud. I listened to Regina a little. She is a good singer but I like Fiona way more. When Tidal came out I heard Shadow Boxing and really liked the deep voice and song etc. Bought the CD. Now with the internet and U Tube I can watch her while she sings and that totally got me hooked.

[butterflypiano]

@MegaWhiner Hey, thank you so much! That's so nice from you. My friends always say, 'You must be crazy, why are you listening to that sick stuff?' They're so annoying sometimes! Luckily I have two best friends who like me the way I am. (By the way, I live in Germany ;-), please excuse my English) But I really just can talk about good music with adults. Tidal is one of my favorite albums, I have all Fiona-albums on my mp3-Player. The 1st song I covered was Never Is a Promise, I just love it.

[Euphorianna]

@butterflypiano So true. :(

[mannazencalliope]

Such a Goddess!!

[Poopaskull]

Her smiling around the 1-minute mark makes me fall sliiiiightly in love with her :)

[MegaWhiner]

ghostwhiskey - about looking like a girlfriend, me to. Personality similar to.

[ghostwhiskey]

how did this album not sell,wtf?

[princessdaleeee]

@ghostwhiskey It sold 920,000 copies apparently

[ghostwhiskey]

she looks just like my girlfreind,i wish she could sing like that,no smart ass replies,im just making an observation, i know nobody cares

[hahabinga]

She's so crazy,I love her!

[35836410]

ああ、はんにゃらふんにゃはんにゃふんにゃへーや

[didddko]

@35836410 i totally agree Mr. Digits the dance in the end makes me cum in my pants

[courtcol]

@35836410 thats what I was thinkin too

[forwaermaughn]

Actually, aharper12, it was not a completely flawless performance. When she sang the line "And for a little while, I'll soar the uneven wind, complain and blame the sterile wind", she messed up and said "And for a little while, I'll soar the uneven ground, complain and blame the sterile ground". You can tell by her face that she knows she messed up and is dissapointed. But other than that, I agree the performance was unbelievable and who cares if she messed up, it's freaking amazing Fiona Apple!

[shcrocope]

@forwaermaughn you are so wrong obviously.

[aharper12]

I love the video of her live performance when she has to restart because she hadn't sang the song in a long time. Of course, when she restarts its a flawless performance!!!

[courtcol]

after all these years,, still the best true singer/ songwriter that has come along in years---- unfortunately guess she will be the first and last of the talented " SPOOKY" girls of our life time-----there will never be another one like her !!!!!

[anonwebserfer]

is this fionas mtv unplugged show

[TAJprincess]

I keep this song up front in my stash. Love love love it. I could also enjoy it a cappella or just to her funky music. She's covered it all.



[xtraordinarymachine0]

This song is so true...it is sweet you think you know how crazy i am

[Btelgeuse]

And you give me some more of your drugs.

[MySweetStorm]

Best part of the song! :P Love it!

[valenecia]

Fiona Apple keeps it real, dammit! That's why she doesn't 'fit in' into mainstream pop. DUH. XD

[biggoodness]

love her, love her, love her. she's brilliant and a true artist. I just got finished watching shakira's new video She Wolf and I was so turned off by her utter nudity and writhing. makes me love that gorgeous fiona let's her understated beauty and art speak for themselves...she's so refreshing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrJoeCage]

i haven't heard all her stuff but this is my favorite of her songs that i have.

[timflatus]

Pure genius! Beyond compare! I too am besotted.

[teafountains]

god yes. i love her.

[camiaroad]

we should have more FIONA APPLEs in this superficial and shallow world where the BRITNEYs and PARISes rule..it's sad really

[themoderateextremist]

@camiaroad She is a gift. But there is really only one.

[radix119]

@camiaroad the reason fionna is so great is beacause shes a one of a kind....among other things...

[bassistdc]

@camiaroad I agree there should be more like Fiona, but to me the Britneys and Parises donot rule. Your point however is well taken.

[bassistdc]

@camiaroad I agree there should be more like Fiona, but to me the Britneys and Parises donot rule. Your point however is well taken. My 90's band is now learning: Criminal (an awesome song)

[silviovicente]

She is so beautiful

I love her

[scorpiusben]

amazing. i loved her dance. =]

[merdufer]

0:47 XD

[hellolover333]

my favorite part

[ilovelucy2012]

Fiona is not Janis, Regina Spektor is nothing like her neither is Tori Amos. The whole point of Fiona Apple and her music career is so that she is the only musician like herself because like any artist she wants her work to be special. So I think it impossible and insulting to compare her to anyone. POINT BLANK!

[merdufer]

of course every good artist has something unique. but some aspects of their music can be similar to other artists'.

regina spektor has honest, deep, intense, and crazy songwriting, just like fiona apple. there's nothing insulting to the individuality or musicianship of either artists in that comparison.

[lrgrjg]

yes!!!! i was just thinking the exact same thing when sumone else compared her to miley and britney (yes i cringed as i wrote that) 4 fuck's sake..

[KHaug15]

Doublethink is most certainly right on that question. plenty people can try to be like this woman but everything she has put out has come through her with no force or producing. That voice is irreplaceable and her chosen piano voicings are so full of feeling. Fiona is in the genre of Fiona. So if you want something in its own category I would go with Radiohead and the Mars Volta. Nothing like her except in their equally original songwriting

[themiserychic]

Her dancing is so adorable. <3

[MaryJamesMurdoch]

Was this really 10 years ago?! My god I feel old...

[jaejunha]

any1 know similar artists like her?

[doublethink]

there are lots of chicks that wish they could sing like her but the answer is no there arent

[DarkSunshineRain]

most girls have a higher voice than her. my range is like fiona's and I use to hate it because I felt embarrased by it but not anymore.

[PteradactylKat]

Ah, Regina Spektor (who's quirkier and less angsty), Tori Amos I guess, and the women where Fiona gets her inspirations from.

But not Kate Nash. Don't let anyone tell you Amy Winehouse or Kate Nash are even close to this. Just a side note. ♥

[merdufer]

Not Tori Amos... come on... different styles. Unless we're comparing every good female singer who sits in front of a piano sometimes to Tori Amos. How about comparing all of them to early Kate Bush? I see her as the much more inspiring figure.

[PteradactylKat]

Note that I said, "I guess,"

I say Tori Amos because people usually connect the two women for whatever reason. (Yeah, the "piano thing".) Kate Bush is a much better example, yes.

[merdufer]

really depends on what you like about her. regina spektor's a safe bet, cheery but cute and nuts like her. i just noticed laura marling's pretty good with the darkish folk rock type, but she's a lot less jazzy. i just saw somebody putting lisa hannigan on the same list but i haven't heard a lot of her stuff yet.

there's a japanese artist called kojima mayumi who's got a few good albums with a similar style. there's not a lot of her better stuff on youtube though.

[cdm0014]

i fkn love this crazy bitch!

[jsmallwood2007]

would like to hear her do some janis joplin...could realy do alot of her stuff well

[fiestajumpijack]

i would love to hear her version of ball and chain! i'm convinced that fiona is the janis of our generation.

[PteradactylKat]

Except that Fiona writes quality music, actually has musical and vocal talent, and doesn't pose to fit in with a certain brand of audience.

Other than those things, sure, Fiona could be the Janis of our generation.

[SabbatDP]

she's so crazy

impossible not to love her

[cesso91]

she seems to have a period where she always wore coats at tv appearances. now, what is the deep meaning of that? :p

[DarkonDozac]

Winter? .)

[vermiciousk1]

menstrual bloating..?

[prepforlove]

vegan is self concious? perhaps? :) lov u fiona!

[stevieVantanna]

Heroin addicts get really cold.

[unicursalhex]

great

[icicle83]

oh wow it is the same Matt Chamberlin that belongs to Tori! =) He really is good.

[atmoravi]

it is in fact Matt Chamberlain on drums. he lists this video on his web-site

[numlock2012]

One time I was drawing a picture of her face and it started to look like Jesus Christ. It was really scary and sometimes she kinda looks like a witch that captures souls with her eyes

[Lizzy1457]

is that matt chamberlin on drums? xxxx

[ningirl86]

it looks like him

[ningirl86]

it looks like him

[goodnightlila]
