Nikka Costa - "Push And Pull" - Live at Smith's Olde Bar

[ZenGrrrl0]

What a voice! Why hasn't she been featured on American Idol?

[LDT1990]

If I had 5% of her talent, I'd be set for life!

[chickiechawnga]

SO AMAZING. I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!!

[LOVEADAMLABERT3068]

This Sister can SANG!!!!!

[trysometruth]

holy sh!t.. seriously..

[LG4Ya]

This woman is incredible! The ending of this gives me chills!

[bballer191]

This song sounds so similar to "The Greatest" by Cat Power

[jdverpooten137]

i love this song but just watched this version, can you say damn, she looks great, nice shirt!!!!

[flipzid3]

i so love this version especially the ending

[boxonedesigns]

chills..

PLEASE do a tour and be sure to hit Boston!!

[TheLadyp006]

She did kill it very soulful janis Joplinish that was awesome!

[joeann69]

another day goes on by and he never speaks his heart.....

[Jenna424]

Every time I watch Nikka, I feel like I'm learning a valuable lesson about life.

[Claclazittas]

Q blusa é essa??????

[DebraDeBest]

I f'g LOVE her! She's just incredible. *sigh*

[whitedevil2]

she broke my right headphone at the end. cool

[ginope100]

canta muito!!!!!

[DathlokX]

In Kansas City it was cool... Her guitar Strap popped loose and she about dropped it playing this... she didnt miss a fucking beat though... "Keepin it real tonight!".. she is a fucking GODDESS!

[amandaandbijou]

the new janis. xx

[BORONJ91]

i love her !!

[alulu8]

You can feel how she absorbs the room's vibe and uses it! :)

[thenurse36]

one of my all time favorite female singers...she sings with her heart and her soul...I love her sooo much!!!

[liz2porter]

I love that Nikka is completely original.

She sings from her heart and always has.

She is being herself through and through.

Her vocals cords are like elastic bands, absolutely amazing voice!

You rock girl! :)

[egorham2006]

black music..black beat.

[mspye]

She is so underrated! The masses are force fed Lady Gaga and we have to work hard to find the real talent that's out there. Keep on keepin on Nikka!

[blue2185]

she is a BADASS BITCH!!!

[valiowx]

putain quelee petite hélas pas aussi belle que w

[atum2000]

@valiowx y the h8 conard?

[ilovemusictolife]

Why do people sleep on her!? I've always called her the Janis Joplin of our time... there is truth in her voice!

[dorksnork1]

I struggle w the shirt. She is talent without .

[deebabes33]

Sing girl!

[alaskachris25]

Isn't she awesome missdeja!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[missdejablue]

wow.

[CitySkin09]

Gawddamn that woman can sing...

[davidhyltonband]

Just awesome!!!

Love the song, love the performance....unreal.

It would be really interesting to hear Nikka do a duet with Sia Furler. They both have similarly strong, raw, technically brilliant but also soulful voices? I think this my favourite Nikka Costa song.

[arilsonvdp]

Meu sonho era ver esta mulher pessoalmente!! lembro dela qdo criança

[tiffers1912]

One of my many dreams is to see her live. She's such a good live performer, which is kinda rare.

[valiowx]

nice lady up to the wind like my mam in her car dig it? one day....ciaow

[twebb63]

Raw Talent Man...! ! !

[AwsomeFender]

I like the way Prince played this in Las Vegas a lot more than this one.

[vbrasil45]

Muito bom!

[willybsinger]

So awesome!

[ffreddie]

very talented!!!!!!!!

love her

[desiloowhoo]

nikka costa is amazing and original and i love her getups almost as much as her vocals and stage presence. she is even more effing fantastic live!!!

[InFromTheVoid]

LOve her :) But hate those shirts she wears.

[impala666]

this fucking rocks

[sweetdreemzcottencan]

i loved like a feather what n the hell hapend to her can somebody help me out

[stylecollective]

@sweetdreemzcottencan

look for other vids on youtube or follow her various websites on the net...

[SphericSenseS]

She's a music savant and her shirt's got a lot to say!

[luvsexy3]

@SPHERICSENSES... yes her shirts are saying that she is extremely flat chested....lol, but in all honesty, she is one of my favorite artist...SHE ROCKS!

[kop1892]

nice shirt she have there

[wawaronaldo]

omg. her top. :S

[carmlog47]

this was great in blow

[kurtciccio]

troppo bella questa canzone

colonna sonore del film Blow

[LianneHutcheson]

This was such an AMAZING show!

God SAVE NIKKA!!!

[lilcoco77007]

Her voice is gold, that is all I have to say!

[cherricherub82]

Duuuuude!!! That was incredible. Oh my God... She is sick, seriously. There should be laws against talent like that lol...

[JulietsMan]

there is. its called the record industry,

[cherricherub82]

LMAO! That's hilarious... buuut it's true /:-(

[musicdefinesit]

The Atlanta audience has a good voice :-)

[borisknackers]

that finish kills

[clinteastwoodcowb0y]

What's up with the shirt exposing her lady lumps?

[teflondeez1269]

I agree...goosebumps. Wish I could see her live!!!

[goodgirl629]

saw her two weeks ago.  She was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend getting to one of her shows if you can!!!!!

[wanderings0ul]

She's amazing. I get massive goosebumps. Lady's got soul.

[Jencifer13]

yeah... Joss and her ilk who have sold out to make a buck and be a sex object for the salivating masses can just go away. Nikka is truly talented and just... well... true....

[uwi2]

What a great song and an awesome performance!

God, i love her voice!

[kingofdaundaworld]

She blows Joss Stone, out the water, tell Joss to go back to the karoke circuit, Nikka can do it..Very underrated but smart enough to know that a major cant do shit for her, good to see she dont stop workin' shes worth the money seen her with E. Badu in St. Louis she stands on her shit...

[stylecollective]

Okay, that's kinda mean to put it so bluntly...but I would be lying if I didn't admit I agree (hanging head in shame at not wanting to be mean tho, hehe)

[Pensuave]

its a totally different sound. joss has a deeper tone to her while nikka has a waaay higher range and more of a rock edge than joss. two different vocal styles just under the same musical category.

[kingofdaundaworld]

I could agree with that...

[MooshieV]

she does not get enough recognition b.c she is a smokin' vocalist !

[Kosmik333]

I seriously get goosebumps listening to this woman sing. amazing.

[kevinriche]

i fuckin love this song....this is my shyt..lol

[Dani6248]

Awesome..I don't see how she holds those tops on lol

[MooshieV]

double stick tape! lol :)

[IridescentVelocity]

hopefully doubley stickey--love her though

[gildamusica]

eu a conheci, quando ouvi on my onw

[persona19]

This woman truly loves big cock.

[STFUevolution]

kinda irrelevant dont you think?

[sympathydevil]

I don't see how as she does. She loves the boaby.

[Yryr1999]

And? Your point? What woman doesn't?

[rykileigh]

she is so freakin awesome i love her and this song!!

[poeticpeach23]

THATS A BAD BITCH!!! I've turned so many of my friends out on Nikka. I gotta watch this at least 10 more times today.

[rodovalhonemet]

Eu amo esta cançao!!! Ela deve partir por esse caminho, diferente da maiorira deseus hits_ mais do que rebeldes; pesados; estranhos... não combinam com uma cantora de qualidade e tão linda... assim, vão criar esteriótipos mesmo!

[Crowrocker71]

I loved it when her and Prince did this in "One night only" Live at the Aladdin in Vegas. It was awesome.

=)..

[wcduke]

Beautiful. I've been a fan for a long time. Thanks for posting.

[marcusparks]

i move away from atlanta and i miss this show!!!!???? :-(

[RANSOFT]

Is this Smiths olde bar in Atlanta?!?! I can't believe I missed this!

[teed7]

Smiths is an amazing rock bar to go. They host everyone there, loved it when I lived in Atlanta.

[Querulo]

she looks like janis joplin!! Her face I mean...

[nnagual]

Wow this woman is really amazing,talented...gr8 voice,exc performance...the song is fantastic,love it!!

[Concatenate]

Outstanding performance. Nikka jams out, she's awesome. Thanks for posting this up.

[BtrentB]

Good performance, the stage sound and acoustic set-up of that place was less than desirable. Try singing in a barrell with guitar, drums, bass, and screeming fans. If you can perform better in that enviorment I suggest you post a video of you doing better...

[hunnybunny21]

your momma looks like white trash.

don't be lame.

[gabeleven]

this song is so nice. makes me cry. live to ride the life

[oliversjen]

White trash? Are you guys even into music? Who cares what the heck she's wearing. Aren't you just lost in her voice? I am!

[msdopa]

amazing what became of that little girl who sang "own my own"...

[SibarisSirabis]

Awful performance and superb song. If she looks like white thrash, I like thrash.

[therealMuddyZombie]

So many things come together here: great song writing, great performance, great musicianship. Female guitar players are a dime a dozen usually, they should all watch Nikka to see what makes a star. Why isn't she all over my tv screen already? This is beyond the usual pop spew i suppose, too melancoly for stuffed music execs.

[dawnfreshmilk]

great vid

[DEF90JAM]

i like her but in this video she kinda looks white trashy

[BattleAngel]

she does look alot like white trash. she needs to put on a shirt. its disgusting.

[docmark72]

Married to some cop from Texas, or so I heard. Damn lucky dude. This woman sweats sex, bros.

[lvesckbtch]

shes married to justin stanley...hes a music producer from austrailia

[DBJOHN98]

[magrifas]

Absolutly Amazing @

[theloaner2]

This is tied with her aol live work on this tune --

once n awhile.
