Fiona Apple, Elvis Costello - "I Want You"

[sebastianrojasgomez]

6:47 Stairway to heaven

[erapa380]

Gotta be the scariest performance I've seen. Quite hair-raising and at the same time awesome.

[baddrivers1]

@ballardshat, what're like 85? get the stick outa your ass

[88joallen]

at 6:30 it looks like she just came out of a zone like literally had to wake up out of it. it's chilling.

[audreyalschome]

chills

[Pacitanenita]

Just ..can`t ...stop ...watching ....

[Pacitanenita]

Excelent!

[Kwales66]

Just Brilliant



[SaladStapler]

Her voice is so fuckin good

[sushman]

The Music Industry is really Vapid without her Talents, Please come back Fiona!!

[gluserty]

@sushman Yeah, I miss Fiona; she is performing a benefit concert, but she's been quiet when it comes to new material. We know she has something to say, maybe she isn't prepared to share?

[smausfa]

Actually her expression at 5:00-5:08 says it all.

[felipe1soto]

her looks @6:54 says it all

[MsShiinaapple]

i luv u fiona

u're amazing

[MrIsanybodyinthere]

Chills my friend, For the first time in a long time. My Fiona<3

[smausfa]

She sings this song with such an emotional intensity that it gives me chills every time I hear it.

[BANGNOIR]

I love this performance!! There is a lot of power just behind the way she sings it. Miss you Fiona!!

[harliette]

four wives I had to bing & ones a fellow scorpio ha!♥

[noaptebuna]

so lovely...if you like this, check out some of my original tunes on my channel, much appreciated and feedback is always welcome, thanks guy <3

[mirrormirroronthewll]

for me this song only starts at 1'30''

[gluserty]

Fiona Apple,with her pronunction of words, body language,and face stress sold this for me.

[WhereTheyAre]

And i think i speak for everyone when i say : I want to hear this by Portishead.

[ItsLaichthat]

@WhereTheyAre Agreed, Beth would kill!

[MrBaxter27]

i agree, how many times I have played this over and over never tire of it.....

[hyosungtom]

Oh boy, this is like porn to me.

You can look into my eyes and count the ways ...

Pfff, love is so damn difficult, but there must be a soulmate for everyone.

[lastsamurai19]

inci siker

[raiavecchia]

Oh. My. GOD.

[MrLieans]

she's still have assassins eyes?

[simbax2006]

she is the best!!!!!!!!!!!

[56keijer]

Wow, what a performance.

[TheLasal]

Incredible crescendo!

[LostMyIdentity]

crazy green eyes, we're staring back at you Apple, we want you.

[pinkmoon831]

amazing performance!!!<3

[olderhippie1]

haunting



[hyosungtom]

Αυτό το τραγούδι είναι σα να έχεις οργασμό. Τον ένα μετά τον άλλο. Και ξανά, και ξανά. Ορκίζομαι. Ποτέ δε θα σταματήσω να πατάω repeat.

[4923931]

amazing emotion she puts into this song.....

[RoddRocker]

I remember the first time I watched this video.

It really gave me the chills.

It did because in this song you believe in Fiona, you really feel she is singing something she experienced and she is also capable of making you feel all this as if you experienced it too.

She nailed this song. She made it interesting and definitely made it her own, which seems to be the mark of a good artist. :-)

[diegoestin]

@RoddRocker Just as Johnny Cash took "Hurt" away from Trent Reznor, Fiona Apple took this song away from Elvis Costello.

[hecthellion]

@diegoestin Oh I'm affraid you're wrong there, NIN version is way more emotional and way better. Don't get me wrong, Johnny Cash's version is great, but he never took it away from Mr. Reznor. Anyways, with the Fiona stealing this from Costello you're damn right!

[DitaDoll79]

God, I love this woman.

[gbson2398]

só to aqui por causa do pc siqueira

[nadalitsa]

5:15.. her eyes... :|

[TehTpyoKing]

Anyone else get the impression that the crowd doesn't appreciate this performance as much as we do? I've watched this at least 100 times.

[clauditorium]

@TehTpyoKing I got exactly the same impression. They obviously don't know the song, and they kept starting to applaud each time they thought it was over. I'm pretty sure at the end, they ruined the moment for Fiona, because the song has a few more "I want you"s in it that she didn't get to do. It's a shame, because that's a great, chilling performance.

[emmavdewing]

this is just insane !!!!!! one of my favorites by fiona!

[bearmassaro]

5:55, her deep sigh shivers, Elvis chimes in with some eery guitar. This part haunts my dreams. The single greatest live performance of all time in my book...

[salaturusg]

i want you fiona!



[lupahole]

guess she did...thats what i call "performance"!



[titti1506]

No dubt...1859000 are mine...I

can't stop watching this !!

[winggoddess]

is there a version of fiona apple singing this song that isn't live?

[llickthestars]

@winggoddess No

[paleblack1989]

@shellnp1029 She has, I'm sure.

[bucfan2008]

greatest cover ever !!! WOW

[Lostcontrolband]

Slik ....!

[aTasteLikeBurning]

@shellnp1029 Haven't we all? :)

[NewRisingSun69]

Sickest version ever.....!

[Danaref]

Epic.

[meteor7890]

I'll keep on listening to that song untl my ears bleed....

[pigwood1000]

this or nirvana's ,"where did you sleep last night". They need a hug.

fiona had courage singing this song.

I hope she has one more album in her.

[mimi49576]

i will NEVER stop coming back to this video i swear

[bearmassaro]

@mimi49576 I come here to listen to this song AT LEAST once a week...

[davidsantos82]

If they sell one album just with this song ten times I'm gonna buy it. Its amazing.

[hadesraiser]

I think that one has to go through a couple of tumultuous break ups to get the meaning and emotions of this song. This sing brings back alot of my post divorce delayed stress emotions and that's been 12 years ago, this song especially done by Fiona Apple and Elvis Costello still hurts and cuts as deep as a shard of glass.

[BELIEVERMETAL]

Wow!!! I'm stunned!!! That was a performance of a broken-hearted for broken-hearted people....Bravo Fiona....

[madrevangod]

f----g brilliant !!!!



[milt1977]

@shellnp1029 she lived it



[sorayagirl12]

weiß die überhaupt wo sie is ? xD

[julesmelville]

I'm not really a costello fan, but this song is probably

one of the best on earth ! Merci

[BallardsHat]

This is the most intense performance of any song i have ever heard.

Just one problem with it...the fucking audience! Do they not get what the song is about? Or that the performance is not about them and that their constant whooping just ruins it for everyone else?

[gbson2398]

só ta assim por causa do pc

[mrsSukiJones]

<333 Inteeensee

I'm loving it

[mistabook]

holy SHIT that was intense.

[ntinakiA]

perfect song..

[marissajrod]

I don't know what the top comment says but I'm thumbsing it up anyway

[lnakilalala]

@marissajrod it's written in greek actually,and it says : the orgasm song.the end. ;)

[harliette]

Havent heard this 1♥ what a treat, more her to need

[harliette]

Havent heard this 1♥

[meninosg]

thumbs up if computer siqueira brought you here

[rome8180]

This is pretty much the culmination of Western civilization.

[tsitsi23]

cant help making the connection with you.i want you damn it!

(she is absolutly amazing!)

[doveinthesand]

The day I play like him will be the day I die happy.

[NiymbleFingers]

I love Fiona's ability to truly interpret a song. This is an artist. And Costello is such a brilliant lyricist.

[LipeNoda]

@maike1998jr que sem vida ficar vendo favoritos dos ídolos só pra postar isso, e no final nem curte a música

[GreatUnwashedMass]

unlike most concerts, the singer is more into it than anyone in the audience.

[GreatUnwashedMass]

I like the plum vampiric frock.

[celeste480]

I like so much !!! Elvis and Fiona!!!

[DRectorRecords]

OUTstanding!

[ajamesu]

I love the slow build in tension to the climax, she is a TRUE ARTIST

[phillwh]

Awsome, Fiona's rage makes this song beautifull, moving and unforgettable

[jessetp5497]

ABSOLUTELY EPIC!!!!!!!!!!! CHILLS FROM THE START!!!!!

[kctoeknee]

I LOVE YOU FIONA!!!!

[muddomania]

nothing to say..i mean she made us think this..fiona you rock..pff...

[ShirQueen123]

Amazing fiona!

so emotional, so beautiful..<3

[Nightwizard17]

i just love broken voices. 

[FourteenInTheMAking]

Shivers. Her intensity is breathtaking. Elvis Costello's presence on stage, just next to her on his guitar, is perfect, but she is taking it to another level... Thank you for sharing this video :)

[Blindastronomer]

@ghostofdayinperson Nick?

[khanikki1]

Watched my share of videos on the tube. This is the first I've commented on. Wow. Watched it twice. Soo powerful. Loved her from the beginning of her career. Bet Elvis wanted her after that!

[Starlite640]

there could not be a better performer for this song

[PORQUETEMQUESEASSIM]

vejam meu vídeo:

por que é assim - simpsons e banho no frio

e os outros do canal

[Daaaaf]

Nice song, but what's with the vibrato in her voice?

[figoayse]

it is not a song. it is a dirge..

[drewsiph19]

This woman is amazing. The only female vocalist I would ever compare to Miss Joplin

[ThisMeansWarRecords]

We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

You can change our future with one simple click.

Please thumbs up so other people can see this and check out our channel and comment with feedback if you like,also if you think we could improve.

Cheers!

[butinol]

Que chatice !

[TheFenixxx83]

who the hell dislike this?! >:o

[pickupartistwannabe]

The intro to this song is fucking GENIUS.

[rbf0621]

i love her. i want to fucking marry this woman

[mimi49576]

every once in a while i come back to this video and comment on how perfect it is

seriously IT IS SO PERFECT

[Pandion59]

@mimi49576 - I do the same. Imagine being there.

[hushmandres]

after ive seen this for the first time i just wanted to put a ring on her

[papercotton]

so raw.. so true <3

[MISSyouDIMEBAG]

This song is Such a Master Piece,..On Sooooo many levels as it is,.. The way Fiona consumes this songs Raw Pain & Sadness Yet Embraces it's Tragic Passion to show us the Sorrow runs Deep,... like No Body else. It doesn't get better than that...

[djkoutso]

ΜΑΚΑΡΙ ΝΑ ΔΙΑΡΚΟΥΣΕ ΓΙΑ ΩΡΕΣ ΑΥΤΗ Η ΕΡΜΗΝΕΙΑ,ΓΙΑ ΝΑ ΜΗΝ ΑΝΑΓΚΑΖΟΜΑΙ ΝΑ ΠΑΤΑΩ ΣΥΝΕΧΕΙΑ ΤΟ "REPEAT"....

[lorena0987]

I can understand why she stare like that

[OmnipotentMind]

One word. Epic.

[kikixatzialeksandrou]

I want you..Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up..It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for..Stupid little details

[craigiepaigie]

I didn't think anyone could ever cover this song. I was wrong.

[tspaige1]

The look on Fionas face at 7:56, as her heart leaves her body to die....I live it every day

[Pannemat]

@tspaige1 I think a lot of people are curious about her look at 7:56. Pleaseb try again.

Maybe you mean 6:57?

Btw,this is truly a great cover. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time out of sheer awesomeness.My lord,she's amazing. Now who is that anonymous guitarplayer? ;-)

[tspaige1]

@Pannemat yes you are right...I have numeroplexy its like dyslexyia but with numbers...so sometimes my brain switches the number I meant to type....I know lame, try living with it

[Pannemat]

@tspaige1 's Alright,man. I made a typo.

[mcdonsan]

05:25 I wonder who she's thinking about in that moment.

[MrGabrielfernandes]

Eu vim aqui só por causa do Pc siqueira, HAHAHAHA

[musoshi]

Listen to Elvis playing that guitar, nicely done!

Good vocals too Fiona!

[mondosci]

I can watch / listen to Fiona Apple doing just about anything, so I admit a bit of bias watching this for the first time . . . having said that, madame Fiona has not disappointed . . . her delivery is just so unique, powerful. There is only one Fiona Apple!

[dgavey]

How many key changes in this, crazy!

[lindamac8]

Simply amazing.

[levia1523]

I will fight this.

[dirkdaddy7Xof68]

Need cool air and water to get past watching that- if I WANTED TO GET PAST IT!

[Melomana67]

uffff cold heart melting down ´cos the power of the words....i need it in my life!!!!

[MrDracula1994]

"It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for"

[TartLit]

OMG. Wow. just wow. So effing amazing!

[TeflonCDN]

She expresses the maniac attitude that is needed for this song.... Once she gets past the intro!

I don't see how any woman who had heard this song could ever hook up with Elvis....

[apwilliams30]

I have so much respect for Fiona here, she just really goes all out. Look at her before and after the song. Her emotions and passion is transposed into the words. She is not just some song bird with a beautiful voice. She is on the top of my list as inspirations in music and art.

[NefeliGkoni]

I WANNA HEAR SHE PLEASES YOU MORE THAN I DO!!!

.........painful

[Melomana67]

fiona and her vioce and unique style has no comparation, just a great preformance

[jessetp5497]

CHILLS FROM START TO FINISH!!!!!!! WOW

[marouan1020]

I've never seen or heard of this singer before

damn it ! i alwayse felt i'am missing on something great !

[escapeclaus]

This is a tour de force. This performance is an important music event. I think she is a musical genius.

[MCPetruk]

Prozak will prevent these sorts of episodes.That's the problem with Prozak.

[flyingelvis73]

I LOVE Elvis' guitar work! The lyrics are Elvis at his most venomous...the SCARIEST love song I've ever heard! SO glad to find this on YouTube!!! Fiona took this song by the short'n'curlies & rocked the HECK out of it! The stops & starts only add to the delicious tension...AMAZING!!!!

[gwcstudio]

I love that grind Elvis does at 3:55

[katerperez]

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen, ever heard.

[shellshoo]

love this version .... this needs to go on itunes uk .. i got to include it onto my iphone

[lostinmindseye46]

[barbiesandninjas]

[kitlinaki]

[uHuRu1976]

This is an insult to the song! She shoud go and sing a country song like achy breaky heart :)))

[tidaldive]

@uHuRu1976 shut up, she's amazing!

[uHuRu1976]

@tidaldive she's fucking boring! and i was gonna tell you to shut up but your channel is not even avaliable!!! (but i gave a thumbs up to your comment just to be nice!)

[TheFringeBenefit1]

@uHuRu1976 But you're not.

[mimi49576]

too perfect

[edaalpay]

nasıl bir hissederek söylemektir bu..

[MrVicDog]

I love this performance, Fiona is so intense at the end that she looks like she is going to faint. It's interesting at about 4:00 how the couple is swaying like this is a love song when it's more about obsession and is kind of like a stalker's diary.

[StephenPring]

To cover a Costello song ... and 'own' it, takes balls. Fiona has a big pair ...

[talory]

She's so committed to this song... just lovely. I've been an EC fan since the 80's but God I love how she puts herself into this song.

[ExclusiveLM]

Fiona has alwalys been into dark musical chords. Very eccentric, but very deep. It's as if her brain's habitat has residence in the same hotel that people like Jimmy Paige from Led Zeppelin resides. I love that anger and talent. If you agree with me give me a thumbs up.

[dliwehtfollacsutube]

beautiful song....beautiful performer...amazing performance.....there will always be a group of nobodies who will judge somebodies out of jealousy......if u say fiona is too skinny.....its means ur fat......if u say shes ashmatic lets hear u sing......wait who are u again? oh thats right your nobody

[dliwehtfollacsutube]

beautiful song....amazing performance

[13venia]

This song made me cry and not only the first time I heard it!!!=)

[farokisking]

I remember almost 3 years ago when this video was new, that all the comments here were anything but hateful towards Fiona or the song. 100% of the comments were praising her. Some even admitted to crying to the song. But now........................

[ManaJay6]

@Paperhouse81 Not her best performance, granted. But how about you post a video response with your own cover of the song and we'll see who has a better voice or physical appearance?

By and by, she is "skinny and asthmatic" because she struggled with drug addictions and anorexia her whole life due to the trauma of being raped at age 12. Good looking out, though.

[titti1506]

@ManaJay6

that's all right...but for drugs you mean medicine isn't it?
