  • I like her voice and phrasing. Reminds me of Melanie sometimes.

  • To those commenting on her lack of emotional link to the song: Please note that this is recorded when she was 18 or 19 years old! Please listen to her newer songs, especially from the album Fisherman's Woman.

  • Yeah,Tom Waits' original will always be superior, but I heard this version first. I guess it will always be closer to my heart than his :)

  • accidentally came across this n its a great song:)

  • So phenomenally emotionally mono-dimensional compared to Tom. Yuck...

  • Why bother, Tom's will never be surpassed and she's not that remarkable, I sing better in the bath.

  • i already have her album "merman" ...include your email address when you leave a message so that i'll know where to send the album..thanks :) love the song :)

  • Lookind at the pics changing positions like that, gives me a headache!!! :(

    I <3 this song!

  • nice job missy torrinii : )

  • how come most of her albums aren't available in the U.S :[[[[

  • She is extremely talented.

  • @LillianLove1994 Compared to what?!

  • @Scriabin28 You don't think she is?

  • @LillianLove1994 No, I don't, LillianLove1994! I think she has a good voice for lightweight pop music, but at an emotional level I find her singing limited in expression and lacking in life and variety. To cover Tom Waits convincingly, you need to be a good storyteller and have an emotional "range" to your voice, and I think this cover shows she's lacking in both.

  • @Scriabin28 Oh, well I totally get that. You have a good point.

    You're right, she has a good voice but there's no emotional link to what she's singing.

    I didn't really notice that before you pointed that out,

  • @Scriabin28 Wow, haha. Its crazy how musical taste can change in 5 months. I used to think she was great,

    and just a couple days ago my boyfriend had me listen to a lot of Tom Wait's music. I fell in love with him,

    And now I can see that this woman really is nothing compared to him.

  • anoying video.. great song though

  • love the song...

  • i really like him :(

  • i guess i fell in love with you... your so cute

  • it's amazing! 5* =)

  • 18.7.2009 Emiliana Torini live at Trenčín Slovakia 21:00

  • This is pure and beatiful - Her voice moves me.

  • This is fantastic - I can´t find words for what the smoothness of her voice does to me - I love it. - I´m sold.

    I´ll check her website out and buy all her CD´s :-)

  • Thanks for posting !

    This is absolutely the best vocal I have ever heard for this beautiful Tom Waits song.

    She has just got one more new fan.

    Emiliana sounds a little like Melanie Safka from the late sixties.
