Melissa Etheridge - Piece of my heart

[harakiri8231]

wait, JOss Stone was on the stage for both songs?

[IsiahBlount1]

Amazing this is what real singers do....sing

[ComeOnGe]

Wow they're both so good!!!

[Kandeegirl85]

4:28 is simply amazing! OMG!! as a singer i really look up to both of these women...there styles are fantastic!

[dictator54]

sass jordan should sing this this woman can't sing it worth a shit joplin was the queen then came sass

[unemployabledrunk]

I think that on this day, Janis looked down and smiled :-)

[MadEagleUSA]

Joss got it started, but Mellisa blew the Lid off the Joint !!!!! ; ))>

[186valeria]

è una bomba!!!!!!!

[Calebelokura]

cantam de mais

[mykg73]

I believe joss stone should have done the take a piece of my heart cover she would have nailed it luv her

[DiMarchezi]

What the fuck did she do with the song? Shiiiiiiiiiiit

[Oudshoornt88]

Got to love all the people saying how bad Joss Stone sings or how Melissa and Joss shouldn't cover Janis. While I bet none of you can sing at all :')

[surfwithaliens]

@Oudshoornt88

well.. i'm sure you eventually like a Mercedes Benz ( :P ) but you can't manufacture one ...

people express their opinions.. in the end, that's what makes an artist great or not that great

[johnnyfry2]

Joplin reached the pinnacle of powerful, soulful, American rock vocals. Probably the greatest American rock vocalist and she was a woman competing in a mans world. Always loved her music, I thank my mom for playing it when I was a kid.

[Confederateson1]

Great performances. Joss is fantastic. And Melissa rocked it, as always. Thanks for posting.

[mywaymn]

These girls can't sing with the soul like a woman like Janis did!

[nutriexpert]

I saw Joplin in concert many times in my life and you are a pretentious, fool, if you think that Melissa and Joss don't have the soul.

[mamatcob]

@mywaymn

hey DA....soul? you mean, like they give shit? like they are trying to impress who? you? youre kidding right? DA...

[mywaymn]

@mamatcob If you think these girls can sing like Janis you're the DUMB ASS...actually you're more of a cunt.

[mamatcob]

@mywaymn seems you dont care much for girls at all...hope that works out for you...

[atma]

Who is Joss Stone? Sorry I'm from Europe, I came for Melissa, the other singer seems not fit for this song, she screams too much and too high...

[ben0988]

@AmitiesWoW you realize the bald woman is Melissa and the blonde you dissed is Joss?

Duh. Idiot.

[mssamfox69]

joss stone did not need to be anywhere in this performance, she is a stupid destruction, melissa stole the show

[CoffeeBeans72]

Melissa was awesome, a beautiful tribute.



[hapolith8ea]

WOOOWW so amazing perfomance!!!! Im speechless . really...

[Angela9G]

Melissa rocks!!! *_*

[utveg522]

Love the bare feet.

[utveg522]

Fucking Epic !!

[DaliyaVector]

TWO WEEKS after chemotherapy...Gosh, I adore Melissa, she is a miracle^^

[utveg522]

That is has hot has it gets!!!! boo-yea

[taran801]

really, i come here from Janis live videos and feel myself robbed

[taran801]

shit like



[ScientificoPiano]

This is a great cover! I'm a huge Janis Joplin fan, and Joss Stone does a fabulous job of capturing Janis's spirit. They both have the soulful, raspy voice. I love it. Melissa did great on Cry Baby too! This was just great.

[kutzbill]

Melissa and Pink doing this one would have been fantastic.

[88butterfly88]

The cool thing about Melissa owning the performance, is that the MUSICIAN filled audience gave her crazy props, unlike Joss, who obviously is in the spotlight because of her looks. Now don't be hatin' on her....she has a lot more soul than a lotta other sangers out there, but clearly can't hold a candle to Melissa. Thank you to all the people who really LISTEN to music and don't LOOK at it. Janis may have never made it in today's scene because of the visual ridiculousness expected from artists.

[Vertigo2903]

Joss Stone = no soul

[Lifetimepanther1944]

@Vertigo2903 neither does Melissa ! why he called them soul singers IDK

[STELLABeauty]

as sick as melissa was that nite from cancer she got up on stage!!!! STRONG WOMAN !!

[0live0wire0]

wow the bald lady is really kickin it

[dskmsj]

I love this song, Janis Joplin - "Piece of my Heart".

[WilliamGeorgeCalland]

no idea who these girls are an don't mean any disrespect. BUT WOW! I wanna know them such an amazing performance.

[kiwirddog]

LOVED EVERY BIT OF THAT..BLOODY AWESOME..

[gineriella]

Joss, shh.

[David732008]

Take this bitch out of stage please... (Joss Stone)... She is a pretty bad Mariah Carey wannabe...

[ajvan255]

@David732008 Joss is a unique artist, and the style of music she sings and the way she sings it is totally different from Mariah's.



[David732008]

@ajvan255 I don't know about that but she's pretty terrible on this video. Please tell her to stick to the shit she sings, but she CANNOT sing any Janis Joplin tunes...

[trinitystareyes]

@David732008 really.................bitch??­??.................what is the need for such a hating tone - can YOU sing like that??? All the haters here cannot be listening to the same piece of music the rest of us are - this is raw talent and beyond that she loses herself in the music - that is beautiful to watch in itself. Its to let love flow instead of being so bitter!!!

[David732008]

@trinitystareyes I sing better than her... and I actually sell more records than her... LOL---- No one cares about "Joss Stone"... But Etheridge was great! NOW THAT'S RAW TALENT!!!!

[trinitystareyes]

@David732008 Really? Well nothing more unattractive than a performer with an oversized ego! - and well Melissa is amazing and she CHOSE to sing with JOSS STONE that has to count for something, now stop hating and start loving there is enough bad things in the world without pointless spite! - oh and send us a link to your singing please :P

[David732008]

@trinitystareyes I will... I sing like Pavarotti mixed with Andrea Bocelli and Whitney Houston :)

[Maggie94xx]

@David732008 That might not be such a good combo mate, since Pavarotti is dead, Andrea Bocelli, I can't fault him, but Whitney Houston f****d up her voice from all the drugs she took. Thanks to Bobby Brown. So you might want to reconsider that combo :D

[David732008]

@Maggie94xx Whitney Houston on drugs, even at her worst is like 100000000000000000000000000000­0000000 better singer and artist than this woman, Joss Stone. I guess this video proves whey she never became someone relevant in the music scene, like Amy Winehouse...

[Maggie94xx]

@David732008 Well I hate to break it to you, but Whitney's voice is not the same as it used to be no matter what you say... I went to her concert in Melbourne this year and she was out of breath constantly and couldn't hit the same notes as she used to.

[David732008]

@Maggie94xx Maybe... but she'll be remembered as one of the best singers ever... Exactly as Janis Joplin is remembered to these days

[Maggie94xx]

@David732008 That's true and thanks for seeing my point, mate :D

[David732008]

@Maggie94xx Thanks to you... I am just such a sweet, innocent person:)

[Killer13nv]

Tat entrance was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[footballmafia62]

Someone has a bad image.

[LucasS2Cla]

Joss Stone ruined the whole fucking thing

[WriterWolf92]

@LucasS2Cla - hell no she brought the spirit alive with this. People just don't accept that a pretty young white girl can have so much soul - Etheridge ripped up as well awsome...

[HaterAssasin]

@LucasS2Cla EVERYBODY ON THIS PAGE DISRESPECTIN' JOSS, SHUT THWE FUCK UP AND WATCH THE FUCKING VIDEO. YA DON'T LIKE HER, GO KILL YOURSELVES

[lilpeif]

@LucasS2Cla Its like Joss was so intimated she had to be whore hog showy bitch. I do believe the bald woman taught her that sexy isn't your hair or ass.

[ikarux2009]

@lilpeif the ¨bald¨ woman is Melissa Etheridge, Im trying to find out why she shaved all her hair

[katastrophenkind199]

@ikarux2009 Because she had cancer.

[ikarux2009]

@katastrophenkind199 I didnt know she had cancer. Thank you.

[katastrophenkind199]

@ikarux2009 hey no problem i didn´t know it too until i searched on the internet. ;)

[rimmyou69]

baldy keeps looking at that other chick thinking about lifting that dress and getting busy with some serious carpet munching.

[newaerorules]

Photo of Janis in the background at 3:52. Where was that photo taken????? It's awesome and I can't find it anywhere.

[aishlinnp]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who was screaming at their screen for Joss to STFU and let Melissa rock it towards the end.

[parttimeuser]

Josh Stone looks disturbingly like Jenna Bush.

[ilovelifewhimsical27]

this was epic! i love them!!

[mmoseley92]

You really can't take anything away from Josh Stone, she is an awesome singer, but she has to live the blues to sing the blues. Melissa has lived it so she can sing it, just like Janis. Janis was unlike anyone had ever seen before, gritty and bluesy, way ahead of her time! She is the female vocalist that all other vocalists have been measured by since. If you think that Lady Gaga (really? the name just annoys the hell out of me!), Rihanna, Katy Perry or any one else has staying power, just wait

[bcklines]

Both singers are amazing but special kudos to Melissa. While fighting cancer she still sounded better than 99% of female vocalists out there today. I love her for her voice and her courage!!!!

[LyssieBby2210]

horrible & broken? mind you, SHE WAS FIGHTING CANCER. melissa etheridge is a very talented & phenomenal woman. her & joss stone BOTH did amazing renditions of janis joplin <3

[TouchAddicted]

this is beyond what words could possibly describe. melissa etheridge is my hero, and there is no one else who i would rather look up to than this amazing woman

[dianeroberts6684]

you go girls! this is the music i grew up too!

[principessa0404]

So Love this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[principessa0404]

So Love this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wildirish216]

I've love this.. Melissa nailed it on this one! Janis would be proud,... Just goes to show you that anything is possible.. Melissa was fighting cancer and nailed that famous scream heard around the world!

[jd16701]

melissa is a remake of janis, this woman rocks

[darkqueen12]

She said in an interview that by the middle of the song she felt tired, and she still had the big scream coming. But if you ask me, I only saw sparkles and glow on that stage! A performance that will always stick with me.

[DelawareCF]

@darkqueen12 A true artist who puts true soul into a song wouldnt care that they got tired...they would put there heart and soul into that song...i know janis would.

[fonviell]

Are some of you seriously criticizing a cancer victim for having a broken voice?

[darkqueen12]

@fonviell I would not consider her a victim, but a survivor.

[CaliRebel22]

Amazing job, if you could do better, then do it! keep your ignorant comments to your self! Love you Janis!

[sheSheepdog]

oh, come on! her voice is broken!? you can't sing this song with another voice! know what i mean?

[mmondragon05]

Love how everyone talks about janis and Melissa and no one says a thing about Joss...

[emt1605]

I bet Janis said "You go girl"

[eemi666]

the bold one scared me :))))

[DeadButInLove]

Ryser i hela kroppen fan!

[JoshKerrMusician]

Melissa does Janis better than anyone! She is an exceptionally  talented musician. Her phrasing an control rivals Janis Herself! Absolutely love it!

[chimneyleaf]

Love the smile at 2.30, such joy.

[bensil34]

Years later, people still talk about this performance. Considering what she had been through, it was a triumph for Melissa. I have been a fan since her first album and have seen her live several times. I was also fortunate enough to see Janis live. Melissa is amazing, but Janis was magic. It was the tragedy in her that can't be reproduced; that's what made her special and timeless. Life was Janis' cancer, and there was no cure.

[BruFiorini]

Joss Stone A melhorrr!!!!!!!!



[gabekarl82]

whooooooo!!!!!! awesome!

[TheFireFuchs1]

40 years without joplin =/

2 years within bieber ¬¬

[duckface1991]

I think Melissa did way better than Joss.

[ToryMagoo44]

I've seen Janis live many times........and I agree: Melissa Kicks ASS. (The first girl, naw---so sorry, just didn't rock it, like it should be done). Yeah Melissa!!!

[vt2075]

Melissa Rocked it. Joss Stone could have been left out. She is annoying

[Liedea]

waaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (L)

[smilelikeUmeanit90]

I MISS YOU JANIS....

[smilelikeUmeanit90]

sorry but it is a NO

[JACKY93]

Im watching this and melisa is reminding me alot of Beverly from the Voice

[JanG830]

Melissa's version is so fantastic. My favorite(bow to Janis) but I love the way she's looks at the audience and defys cancer at the same time. She rocks it.

[canwadma]

Australian Vanessa Amorosi`s cover is best. But this great too.

[derlebkuchenmann]

@canwadma so true!!! ms amorosi's version simply swept me of my feet. breathtaking!!!

[canwadma]

@derlebkuchenmann Check out Vanessa Amorossi`s honour to Helen Reddy at the ARIA awards. "I am Woman" It is incredible she should be a world wide superstar.Here on youtube

[derlebkuchenmann]

@canwadma checked it and literally melted^^ thx for sharing your wisdom :P

[accuristau]

@derlebkuchenmann You "literally" melted? How did you type this, then?

[cheshirekitty0]

Melissa is amazing. i love her version of this song and that scream....mmmmmm she will always give me goosebumps lol

[LadyPlum95]

Janis Joplin jest lepsza. :D

[JhonathanMV]

Meu Deus... Oo

até então não tinha vista alguém que pudesse alcançar tao facilmente os tons da incrível Janis.

sem explicação até chorei quando vi o video

[Cance251]

2:04 for the best part.

[SkySkyJ]

AND FOR 2011 GRAMMYS WE GOT.......justin beiber.....need i say more T_T

[quietstorm1922]

I am a Janis Joplin fan and I can truly say that Ms. Etheridge did her justice

[jrbalena]

oh i just love that scream

[danceofthebones]

Melissa Etheridge is perfection.

[suikergeit]

i like her :)



[rqratu]

Haley Reinhart bring me here ...... Great!

Love Janis, Melissa, Joss & Haley

[bumsfromuranus]

I think the problem with Joss Stone is she couldn't let go while singing like Janis or Melissa

[TelepathicT]

well done melissa good cover

[westozzy]

aussie chick VANESSA AMOROSI can tear this track up! she did it on a local TV show. Vanessa Amorosi - Piece Of My Heart.

[spongebbsapimp]

Wow, she sounds alot like Janis !

[imajeepster]

think she's a big fan of janis? lol...great performance...love her scream!!!

[rchp24]

Philip sayce ! the guitar player in the white at the far right, that dude can sing and play the guitar.

[troyik]

Melissa is reincarnation Janis Joplin

[izzonj]

I remember watching this at the time. I didn't know who Joss Stone was and thought she did a decent job of paying tribute to the inimitable Janis Joplin. Then Melissa came out and I was blown away! I had no idea she could wail like that. Then I was wondering what the heck Joss Stone was doing wandering around flailing her arms.

[vt2075]

@izzonj I am with you. Joss Stone needed to get her ass off the stage. Melissa rocked the shit out of this song. Janis would have been proud.

[scorp1onx]

wow massive props to Joss, amazing voice and passion! Melissa too.

[IainMcDbhoy]

Keith Lemon on guitar?

[batcaked]

want that dress :}

[JohnBT333]

"Can anyone tell me what happened to Joss Stone?"

Did you miss the recent Grammy nomination for one of the two songs she did on Jeff Beck's album?

[floydie2112]

Can anyone tell me what happened to Joss Stone? I know she was mainstream for a bit. Did she go underground? She's really good. Melissa is amazing. Wow. Two women who are extremely talented and not using sex to promote themselves.

[potion27]

I remember when I saw this on TV, I just could not stop from tearing up. What a triumphant final slap down to the cancer that she fought!!!!

I agree, she is radiant here, and is among the few who could give this tribute to Janis the justice it deservd.

[30majortom]

Joss - epic fail.

[AutumnsGoddess]

pffft Mel rocks it hands down better then anyone

[jbk100]

Melissa rocks, as does Joss!!! The best rendition of Janis, EVER, BAR NONE!!!

[No0sAndJunk]

there are only three people who are aloud to sing this song, and sound good, Janis, P!nk, and Melissa

[SamSnuffle]

@No0sAndJunk What about the original singer, Erma Franklin!

[prettykiray]

wow melissa!!!!! i love your skin-head bald --rocker look but you look more sexy with hair--

[godzillaqueen]

@prettykiray "Skin-head bald-rocker look" is a result of chemotherapy.

[prettykiray]

@godzillaqueen i know but she looks good as bald as well--really a woman who can show up bald and still looked gorgeous is really a Beauty--even i know melissa is a lesbian--she is a pretty-gorgeous lesbian--in short HOT!!!--dont you love her too??

[TheEdit757]

Uwielbiam Joss Stone ale Malissa jest w tym kawałku poprostu zaje............ a  !!!!!!!!

[arnie416]

Goosebumps indeed

[Edu241075]

Goosebumps!!

[biancaj28]

amazzzinnnnnggggggggggggg!!!! Melissa Etheridge just plain ROCKSSSSSSS

[esagil1996]

ΓΑΜΩ ΤΙΣ ΣΥΓΚΡΙΣΕΙΣ ΡΕ ΜΑΛΑΚΕΣ ΑΛΛΑ ΤΑΧΕΤΕ ΜΕΣΤΑ ΠΟΔΙΑ ΣΑΣ ΓΙΑΥΤΟ

ΣΥΓΚΡΙΣΗ ΚΑΙ ΑΓΙΟΣ Ο ΘΕΟΣ ΣΑΣ ΜΠΟΥΜΠΟΥΝΕΣ ΠΟΥ ΘΑΛΕΓΕ ΚΑΙ Ο ΑΣΙΜΟΣ

ΑΙ ΝΑ ΧΑΘΕΙΤΕ

[loonybin007]

the circumstance surrounding this performance just make it all the more badass!! God love the triumphant.

[kamaleoah]

Melissa has done it, and it was surely a great job, BUT do not forget she has just copied Jane`s way of singing. So the unique Jane Joplin was who put the expression inside the song giving to it "another piece of her heart".

[JulieB1023]

@kamaleoah - Umm...don't you mean "Janis?"

[badtzmaroo]

@JulieB1023 this is erma's originally... 

[JulieB1023]

@badtzmaroo - Yes I know Erma Franklin sang the original version. My comment was in response to the poster who got Janis' first name entirely wrong. :)

[xepobnha666]

Joss wishes she could sing like Janis or Melissa...Maybe in another lifetime..Joss's pop shit stinks, get some talent hon, and that dress for the blues, laughing my ass off you need to give it back to Brittany..

[hardluckhippie]

Joss Stone has a great voice, but Mel seems to feel it more. Mel seems like she just has more passion. Joss Stone seems to be going through the motions.

[nnkalynn]

Melissa is also very good, but Joss kicked her ass in this 1

[nnkalynn]

Joss rules!

[Otuid]

What is so great about Melissa's voice, it sounds broken and horrible. Joss Stone <3

[bumsfromuranus]

@Otuid fuck you

[Stavroupoliable89]

When I watch this video, I think Melissa drove Joss Stone home that night, if you know what i mean ;).... Melissa is FREAKIN awsome! She just ripped it off!!

[litterboxplayhouse]

She has some powerhouse vocals (Etheridge)

[Vertigo2903]

Joss Stone was horrible....Melissa has got a voice and I think she can cover Janis but I haven't heard anyone else that can

[Otuid]

@Vertigo2903 Joss Stone has an amazing voice she sounded fine here. >.>

[afbabigrl19]

Friggin amazing.. chills everywhere. Melissa is one talented bitchh!

[Indio156]

Janis was turning over in her grave for the FLAT start of CRY BABY, and the rest of it was devoid of honesty or true heart. I loved Melissa tho!!!!!

[mariahb2093]

OMG that scream was... AMAZING!!!!! She did that and was fighting cancer at the same time?! shes amazing!

[Slagathor221]

rubbish

[Sjoki69]

Melissa RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aleale6932]

Melissa has so much positive energy. I love her
