  • Raw emotion, displayed by a woman with the voice of an angel.

  • how could anyone vote this a thumbs down? wow. amazing. and she still rocks today!

  • Wow!!!!

  • WOW!!!!!!

  • WOW! Melissa = AMAZING

  • Her songs and the way she rocks out is a total inspiration.

  • she looks like shes having so much fun! i love this video. so different from entertainers of today.

  • 12 string

  • Melissa is one of the best..Pure talent, Daveand Pauls back up band before adding the horns, great musicians still after all these years..They Rock here

  • She is so HOT!

  • Hell yes Us Kansas girls know how to rock it out!

  • This song isn't about being lez or white or whatever it about being able to connect because you've been in this kind of relationship. Melissa is and amazing artist I wish there were more female rock artists like her these days!!

  • can i please be gay???? pretty please!

  • holy shit, my mind just got a blow job...

  • hot...hot.. thank God im a lesbian..I can relate to melissa's songs..

  • @prettykiray i'm straight and i can totally relate. she he doesn't really matter in the context of the song.

  • I LOVE MELISSA ETHERIDGE.....SHE IS HOT AND HAS A HELL OF A VOICE!!!!

  • shes hot! and im a dude!

  • Melissa Etheridge's singing is like the air you breath, you can't live without it.

  • @7kimtaylor Yeah, i can, easily, infact, i live better without it. ^^

  • lesbians are hot--all i can say..and they love soooo deep..

  • If you know what love is this song will tear your heart out and smack you in the face! She has been loved.

  • I don't often say this but LESBIAN POWER if this this the type of stuff they are churning out in Labia Land. Because seriously, Melissa may have a fucked up home life, but this is one chick that has talent. Death TO AUTOTUNE INDEED.

  • Good song, but......

    No offense 2 her but she KINDA KINDA ISH has a man voice ;)

  • @arorocker You really think so? I can't hear a mans voice out of her, but if that is what you think you have a right to say so.

  • im only one who would walk across a fire for you and im the only one who'd drown in my desire for you...kids have no soul in music these days true talent

  • Melissa Etheridge is an amazing guitar player and an amazing singer !!!!

    Melissa Etheridge ROCKS and she puts on fantastic performances !!!!

  • Wow, she was sooo young back then, I guess we all were, Raw very Raw!!!

  • She's great, amazing and even better than the boss.

  • This song is so amazing she is amazing i love this song so much im learning the words so i can sing it on kareoke i already no i will not sound like Melissa just want to sing anyway. Lesbian or not i love her and this song .

  • Great singer!

  • Amazing performer. I always believe what she is singing about, that is a true performer.

  • Melissa has more talent in her little finger than all the Gaga's,Britney's and Pink's combined... You rock girl... =D xx

  • @AusJackal That's true, but really it seems that in nowaday it is not enough to have great voice, being the great songwriter.... it is so sad, "music" which is playing in radio... impossible...Melissa is so amazing, writes so great songs, which move you so deep....

  • @AusJackal For the most part I agree with your comment. However, I would take Pink off your list. Pink is one of the few real talents out there today. She is fantastic live! She definitely has a spot in my top 5 female list along with Amanda Marshall, Joss Stone, Beth Hart and Melissa Etherige. Amanda Marshall holds the top spot in my books! Seen her in concert back in November. She still has the best voice I have ever heard live. Nobody has more raw power and clarity than Amanda in my opinion.

  • ..She,s Hot....

  • I often fantasize about her laying in my bed singing this, and many other, song to me.. Ahhh the dream. All the women who took advantage of a love as good as hers is INSANE. Melissa- you are beautiful and amazing in every way. Keep looking babe, and When You Find the One..

  • she has a damn GOOD head of hair.

  • she is amazing watch that passion .... youtube.com/watch?v=Nfmy8mWeMo­s

  • one of my all time favorites from one of my all time favorites PURE POWER!!

  • she is sooooo talented.

  • awesome voice

  • You can convert this to an mp3 at instantmp3s..com

  • melissa rocks

  • What a voice...she really believes in what she is singing...

  • Will Lee holding that line DOWN.

  • this must be an older vid..she looks younger here but still hot:)

  • "Where have all the true women rockers gone" I'm sayin'!

  • She sounds soo sexy with that raspy voice and the band are awesome too! Thanks for the posting.

  • I seen her in Chicago last night and she rocked the house!

  • My band covers this song. It is so freaking fun to play :)

  • right on Chunoone!!

  • Thanks for posting this video.....absolutely love THAT grammys! Its always been in my mind. I love ME and this was right after the cancer....I've never seen such passion, she's the bestest! And joss walks too.

  • anyone know the correct chords? i dont do tabs...the ones online are wrong...

  • melissa is bomb! she reminds me of lisa bouchelle! shes bomb to ! lol

  • I would change teams to be next to this beautiful 1 X in a life time extraordinary voice and talent. Her voice at this age, her beauty, and style in song are beyond compare!

  • That raspy kick ass voice is awesome!!!

  • To atomic...My band does it, but the reason is that most Bar bands dont cover this is the simple fact that 80% of cover bands are all male. If you've got a female singer with a good set of pipes this song is a must do.

  • There aren't any women rockers in the 21st century apparently! 

  • Im bi I used to be sad because I couldn't tell anyone but this song helped me alot! now I'm happy and out of the box with no worries! this is the best song ever I love it!

  • @MidFlowerNight

    Ohhhhhh okay!!! Bisexuals come out of boxes...not closets! So THAT'S the difference!!! Lol! JK!!!

  • M.E. has always been an inspiration for me since her 1st album. Can relate to her songs so much.

    .

    much love!

  • i really love her music <3

  • Gay or straight, this song has so much meaning!

  • Melissa makes me so glad I'm a lesbian! She ocks this world right out!

  • hawt.

  • This is the song that catapulted Melissa to super stardom and wealth. If you read the lyrics it can be interpreted as a first person plea from Satan to join his ranks. Now before you flame me, just know I don't believe in all that crap, but many people do and I find it fascinating how much of it has permeated our pop culture particularly from those people who have "made it" in the biz...and it by an large has gone unnoticed or forgiven because Americans love their idols.

  • love her shes got talent

  • What the fuck happened to this? This has got balls, it rocks hard...and people wont listen to it cause she's a lesbian, what the fuck is wrong here? im 21, a serious blues lover and this is bluesy as hell, id love to play a song with her

  • no John Shank on guitar?? hmm

  • lol it just never gets old for me, i browse her vids all the time, never come away unhappy

  • AGAIN?!? I've got GOOSEBUMPS A-FUCKING-GAIN?!?

    It's not like this is the first time I've watched this....

    They just don't get better than this!

    Thanks, AGAIN!

  • Go girrrrrrl!

  • she's a fuckin power house!! Love her!!

  • one of the best rock voices of today

  • Great!

  • This is an incredible performance.

  • I love it when she went back to Leavenworth KA for her High School reunion, her award was for the "Student with the Most Appearances on the David Letterman Show."

  • Thanks for posting!!

  • I've always wondered why more regular old bar/cover bands DON"T cover this....

    I'm 53 (male), and I get this lame list from our two singers and it's got stuff that is so old and tired and doesn't rock, and I say Melissa Etheridge, and they say, LESBIAN. Then I play and sing the song, and they get all quiet. so I say you want me to play "One way or Another", "White Rabbit", and "Stop Draggin My Heart Around"?  fine. we play this. I'll sing it....

  • @atomic6120

    l bet it goes down a treat with the punters.

    great to read a post from a musician's musician. keep on rockin'.

  • @atomic6120

    ok here ya go listen to this cover.

    We also do "White Rabbit" "One Way or Another " "Stop Draggin my Heart Around", lots more Melissa and plenty of Pat Benatar

  • @atomic6120 I'M WORKING ON IT!!!!! ant fine the solo to save my life though

  • @atomic6120 I'm dying to cover this song! It would be awesome at the types of places I've played - bars. LOL

    Seriously though, this is such a fun song to sing. Who cares if she likes girls or boys or purple people eaters... Good Music is Good Music. End of story. Post a vid if you ever cover it, I'd love to see it! :D

  • Too Bad all the new rockers need some help from a computer to sound this good

  • do you need ears? She's better than Janice & Janice was awesome

  • I think U missed my point,Melissa' s voice needs NO help from technology

  • Melissa, yes!

  • hey baby,....how were you thinkin' about?! oxox Soda

  • See that?

    Where have all the true women rockers gone?

    No, I dont want some lip syncing 20 year old dressed up as slut trying to dance to a song she didnt write-

    I blame record companies looking past real talent - pimping out young plastic veneer girls with sub talent.

  • @chunoone Older Sass Jordan stuff is good but don't bother with her newer releases. Give a listen to "Rats" and "Racine"

    Ive seen Melissa twice and both shows were amazing.

  • @chunoone

    I agree whith you. 

  • @chunoone They went to Nashville. ;)

  • @chunoone -amen to that! you got a witness!

  • @chunoone i would go a step further...where are all the true musicians gone?

    music - especially rockmusic is dead since the 90s.

  • @devilbeastie maybe-however it very sad- we (general as audience) let them gone... last time I send request to many radio stations in Germany to play Melissa songs - the answer they won't now and they can't guarantee they will in the future... what the hell? it is really like that people don't want to listen true, rock music any more?only this crazy plastic thing... we need to move, we need to wake up!!! Rock music forever! Melissa rocks!!! the one and only!

  • @chunoone Serena Ryder and Melissa Ethridge on tour in Canada, doing a duet....maybe there's hope...peace.

  • haa i love that guy behind her dancing with the guitar!!!

  • you go girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great song, love her voice.  Thanks!

  • Man this is old. Look how young letterman looks. Great video. Awesome singer songwriter

  • i just love her very much been listening to this woman since i was 10 years old

  • Can someone please explain to me how come the intro to this song is exactly like the one to Black Velvet? or am i mistaken? And maybe there is a fight as to who created the lick first? and maybe they share it? anyhoo, i really love this song of her's alot! yea!

  • Omg I love this song and of course the voice is perfect!!

  • Her voice is such a true gift from God. She sings with all of her soul.

  • Great song!!! 90s starts with rock n roll country soul!!!!! I remember that!

  • I love her raspy voice in this one!!

  • i love Mel, but I bet she would perform better with out the guitar. sing it like a singer, let the band play for ya, concentrate on your singing.

  • Comment removed

  • Really? See, I think its amazing with the guitar and I think it actually helps her with her performance, but that's just my opinion.

  • An absolute musical genius, and inspired performer. What a gift.

  • amazing as a singer and as a human being!

  • Shit man, her voice is diabolical in this

  • 'her eyes and arms and skin won't make it go away...' sooo true, i can relate

  • Damn! Listen to those lyrics! You don't hear that honesty anymore...

  • Isn't this song about being the 'other woman'? Just wondering! ...

    :D

  • love her

    she sings with meening

    and she has a amazeing voice and personality

  • This song is about brutal rape? How stupid are you? It has nothing to do with rape, brutal or otherwise. Do you always listen to songs, ignore what they mean and make up your own reality?

  • My mom used to sing this song soooo much and I learned the lyrics and I never listened to the original. This is my first time. I can sing this song better than most. =]

  • Amazing voice!

  • She takes your soul, juggles it around and smashes it. She's a Goddess. The passion is out of this world.

  • Is she the M E who has a programme on Reality TV?" Beyound chance" I think its called!

  • yep

  • great!

  • Geiles Lied, Geile Sängerin, einfach nur Genial!!!

  • One of the best voices of all time.

  • She rips pretty hard for a major label act.

  • soooo gooood!!!! <333 : )
