Amanda Palmer 'Umbrella' at City Hall,Belfast with Danger Ensemble

[oogie6789]

DAMN! I can't believe I missed her there :(

[ronie2652]

She sounds amazing <3

[rakash0500]

Wow. Concider my mind blown! I wanna play this song now!

[LadyQGinny]

I wanna marry her. She's amazing. Such a great personality, a beautiful and classy voice, a non-common style... Amanda, I love you! Poor thing ;) I feel bad for her foot :(

[ePifJany]

So much sexier than Rihanna. Just. SAYIN.

[b2spirita]

And this week, shes back in belfast, and has injured her leg again!

[ChibinChibi]

better than the actual one

[zKATRYNz]

i wish she would do a gig in ireland sooooooooon

[viciousbloodbath]

Is Amanda wearing a cast?

[GothGoneWrong]

@viciousbloodbath Video description...

[viciousbloodbath]

@GothGoneWrong Ah... thanks. Sometimes I just watch videos and don't read shit!!

[ibrokemycar]

; -; i love her

[ghamilton841]

Why wasnt i there!? :O

[vulcangrl13]

That was awesome XD

[katieisblue]

Fuck all y'all. Palmer covers are the shit. She's creative as hell, I think that she just likes a lot of music and wants to play music she likes.

[NACLM]

Wow Amanda actually makes this song sound good, LOL I like how she says "umbrella" instead of "umba-realla" or whatever weird way Rihanna says it. :P

[dindon32]

@NACLM It totally messes up the prosody though...

[ShesAnOddOneInntShe]

I love that she actually pronounces umbrella right! Not adding in that unecessary extra "umb-ER-ella" (wtf?)

[CookieNapper]

She has an amazing voice, even when she is mucking about on a ukulele. ^_^

[rockel1986]

She seems very charismatic and open... I wish I was more like that :)

[ubernoobly]

my name is amanda

[catt36]

Pahaha, I love the guys with umbrellas in the background, they're hilarious.

[scabbedwings13]

amazing and cool as ever, nice background work. Seems like the more you're in a rush to get something done th better it turns out ^.^

[accdntprne]

Shes better than Rihanna. :P

[shanklybg]

what a voice!

[Sluntrox]

Every time I hear Umbrella my mind immediately goes to "Merry Christmas Jersey".

Sara and Amanda, a wonderful visual.

[LoonyGinGin]

It amuses me how she doesn't go "um-ber-ella" the way Rihanna does.

[Soulforge00]

Amanda never fails to make me a bit happier.

[RotoMachismo]

Ukulele!!!!!

[TheHopegiver]

This is fantastic!! Amanda in all her creative glory!!!!!!

[jofasis]

Win.

[flarentos]

This is fucking shit im glad u weren't at city hall when i was i wud slap u

[wigarmy]

oh another cover. How very unusual.

[GothGoneWrong]

@wigarmy your point being?

[b0nesweeptedium]

@GothGoneWrong

I think wigarmy was criticising Amanda Palmer for covering another song, the point being that she isnt very creative because she doesnt write everything she performs.

Unlike Rihanna, who is the creative driving force behind every song and video she produces.

[shweetshtuff21]

ROFLMAO

[GothGoneWrong]

name me one artist who has never done a cover,pretty much everyone has at one time,whether to be released or for a concert

and i think we r forgetting that rihanna is shit =]

[plummad]

@GothGoneWrong Yeah, and it must be really hard to write songs about penis size, right?

[plummad]

@GothGoneWrong Because it's really hard to write about penis size, right? (ala, RudeBoy). Oh, and Rihanna doesn't write every song she sings, or produce every video she does...so *shrugs*

[viciousbloodbath]

@GothGoneWrong Wait a minute, The Beatles (arguably the greatest rock band of all tiime) they wrote their own songs and never played covers... oh wait, yes they did. Okay, Buddy Holly... he never .... well shit, yes he did too. GothGoneWrong's Gone Wild. You're right.

[GothGoneWrong]

@viciousbloodbath I have no idea what point you're trying to make

[Flurolamp]

@b0nesweeptedium Rihanna didn't even write Umbrella :p

[LOSTXERO]

@b0nesweeptedium Oh because umbrella is a total rip of a bunch of other stuff... right...

[Kazayami]

@b0nesweeptedium Amanda Palmer writes and plays ever song on her albums, but that doesn't mean she's not allowed to pay homage to other artists.

[b0nesweeptedium]

@Kazayami I know. I really should have made the fucking /sarcasm more explicit in my post.

[Kazayami]

@b0nesweeptedium oh, sorry, I didn't really get the Rihanna bit =D

[pang5]

@b0nesweeptedium I like Rihanna but that needn't exclude liking Palmer as well. Manufactured dichotomies are useless.

If what you say is indeed wigarmy's argument, then he/she is unaware or uninformed about the vast bulk of Palmer's work which is original. That's easily enough remedied especially on YouTube. :D

[b0nesweeptedium]

@pang5 I didn't say you couldn't like both Rhianna and Palmer.

[pang5]

@b0nesweeptedium You posed the two as opposites in your original post above. "I think wigarmy was criticising Amanda Palmer for covering another song, the point being that she isnt very creative because she doesnt write everything she performs.

Unlike Rihanna, who is the creative driving force behind every song and video she produces."

[PrawnSticks]

@b0nesweeptedium What, now doing a cover makes you uncreative? That's bullshit for a start, and anyway - Amanda's far more original than Rihanna.

[b0nesweeptedium]

@PrawnSticks Of course doing a cover doesn't make you uncreative. I only wish I had a) made my sarcasm more obvious (like with a /sarcasm sign off for example) or b) just not bothered commenting in the first place. Having said that, your comment does strike me as being particularly cretinous.

[PrawnSticks]

@b0nesweeptedium This is Youtube. If you don't want retarded comments then, yeah, just don't post.

[SseBb]

@b0nesweeptedium

Rihanna has lyricists... Rihanna hasn't got the IQ to write songs herself

[iLoveKatiB]

This made the smile. Too cute, Amanda.

[SamuelEllmer]

Ehhh, she didn't say it like "um-ber-rella" which I prefer ;__;

[VilleValosRazorblade]

haha this is amazing! I love Amanda, she's so talented and goregous!

[mmmaijina]

i love u amanda so much!!!

[LittleBlackSandals]

HAHA, wenn Amanda singt, dann klingt sogar "Umrella" gut!

Amanda is not stuffy or snobbish, so she just takes everything as if it's all part of the show. Gotta love her!!! :P

[pixiegreensparkles]

Whats her deal with this song? Does she like it or is she being ironic?

[GothGoneWrong]

I think she perhaps being ironic.I'm not sure =/ ask her?

[knsummers]

GGW, I asked and got this. Not very grass roots.
