Tori Amos - Smells like teen spirit (HQ)

[HeyZeus096]

Nothing like Nirvana, but still a good version

[theherbiefelton]

She is cute.

[fizzygillespie]

You are all arguing while viewing this through the lens of the past twenty years. This performance was recorded less than a year after _Nevermind_ was released and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" became the juggernaut that it was. Kurt enjoyed this cover (much like he enjoyed Weird Al's parody). Debating otherwise just proves how uninformed you really are.

[danielmondana]

The original version is MUCH heavier than this

[Catlover123445]

@danielmondana

Well duh you dumb fuck. This is a piano version.. wtf do you think its gonna sound like? Go be an idiot elsewhere.

[coglians79]

i think this is the best Tori version of smells like then spirt.

in this performance she is ablolutely taken by the pano and seems she make love with the song!

Fantastc.

[Anthalie18]

How can you make me believe that you're not making love to the piano for get this beauty. ?

[Rubanizator]

Holy fucking shit! Thats awesome!

[bassmandeadguns84]

wow

on very nice.is beautiful.

ty

for this song tori amos

[WhiteRabbitMatt11]

LOVE her expression at 1:36 that little grin she does when she says 'Entertainers'. <3

[PlayerJackPL]

@WhiteRabbitMatt11 "Entertain us".

[aornoyboys]

what a great cover!!!! i love tori amos!!!!!!

[Airaheta1fan]

would like to hear a duet with her and Allison Iraheta

[TheBuurmanmol]

jongens dit is toch verpesting van een geweldig nummer. het is verder wel mooi gezongen allen dit hoor je hard te draaien

[fishman017]

She's simply amazing. A great artist.

[wegoininright]

this goes hard as FUQ

[ViolaMirage1]

wonderful!

[opinionated1976]

Best cover of this song....ever!

[MrDiavolo88]

BEAVIS: Hey butt head! I just scored? BUTT HEAD: no dumbass! you just have one orgasm lookin Tori amos.

[Sherri2008]

Oh boy. *goosebumps*

[rccf83]

нехуёво так

[sshakababy]

Nirvana and Kurt were always about expression. Grunge has always been about expression. So if Tori Amos chose to pay a tribute to Kurt and covered his song but expressing it in her own way, it actually makes me feel good. Its an honor to the memory of Kurt.

[Mychemicalmetallica]

damn she is sexy..good cover

[nesloneslo]

A quei pochi che hanno cliccato su "non mi piace". Siete audiolesi. Mi dispiace per voi.

[Czoopero1]

ciekawe na kogo tak patrzy :D

[modarXmodar]

Tori is a real inspiration to me , all her albums are just great and unique

[spytronet]

perfect

[elnauhual]

Que hermosa interpretacion, no me canso de escucharla. ES un cambio completo de la pieza original y sin embargo conserva la fuerza e intensidad.

Con razon a Kurt Kobain le gustaba tanto esta version.

[graduatge105]

Horrible!!!!!!

[bibarcev]

Perfect!

[Check8M]

She gives head to the microphone.

[xoxoxkero]

@literata91 pues lo mismo digo! si no te gusta entonces no la escuches! ¬¬

[LoveROCKxD]

I like it!

[kecenavrtep]

she is pretty

she is pretty stoned too

[flavio985]

divine...

[rainyroads1]

All her crap sounds the same. Angst gets old and tireing and got so with Torrey Amos years ago.

[ambskater97]

@rainyroads1 Haters gonna hate.

[rainyroads1]

I went to a Torrey Amos concert with my ex-wife and had to go into the lobby to keep from barfing. The place was full of little dyed redhead angst filled teenage girls playing lpstick lesbian because men were such pigs. Made you want to hurl. Torey Amos panders to these morons and she is mediocre at best as a musician.

[sTapleEVA]

@rainyroads1 superficial looser. Many of her fans are rape victims, and well in their 30s/40s by now. Tori amos is one of the greatest musicians in history, she opened the door up for this musical style, and redefined the genre of piano based rock. She covered political and moral issues almost no one would touch back then. A True artist. grow the fuck up.

[nephentes33]

@rainyroads1 Hahahaha! that's why you're divorced asshole LOL

[runningmoonb]

best cover ever

[ditanavi]

I strongly suspect that when angels sing, they sound like Tori Amos.

[MadAboutBusiness]

1:19 - 1:27 ... God I wish it was me Tori was looking at then... x

[Noxrus]

Молодец, очень эмоционально, в таком жанре и мягкой подачей. Могут же спеть в своем стиле и не изговнять песню. Мan4es +1...извините...)))

[Hatinonthehaters]

Kurt would be proud... Thank you Tori...

[eatinglightning19]

I wanna marry here.

[islington0303]

Une chanteuse terriblement sensuelle!

[MrUrodets]

зачем ты усомнился?

где были все те, чтобы сказать об этом

пока было не слишком позно

[TheTomDelonge182]

this is actually fuckin awesome

[Bobzeaux]

Duuuuuuuuuude..... Tori Amos made the most beautiful, softcore cover to this song everrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. ^_^

WYSIWYG

[vaalamful]

@Bobzeaux totally agree.

[musiclover97695]

@Bobzeaux very simply stated and very correct! I love your comment :) your awesome

[kecenavrtep]

0:47 - amazing! true talent.

[literata91]

Otra que la cago, por dios dejen en paz a esta cancion es monumental como es

[xoxoxkero]

@literata91 esto fue lo que dijo Kurt ... Thank you Tori.!!! mejor callate! si no tegusta para que la escuchas!

[literata91]

@xoxoxkero Es mi opinion, si no te gusta pues no me importa. Este cover es horrible, y no hay nada que supere al original. Es mi opinion y no tienes porque mandarme a callar. Y si no te gusta, no loleas o no lo respondas

[Whyrweherereally]

and i forget, just why i taste, oh yes, i guess, it makes me smile, i found it hard, its hard to FIND, o well, whatever, nevermind..

[MoreTormenting]

Don't come to insult, take it as a simple tribute to Nirvana...

[eicheleje]

Tori, Tori, Tori...mal mal mal eso no se hace

[MultiFlaco1986]

GASSS PERRA PEINATE MALDITA ZORRA ASQUEROSA QUE ASCO DE COVER

[nephentes33]

@MultiFlaco1986 Si no puedes entenderlo mejor cierra el hocico, no puedes salir de la musica corriente de "nirvana". Aprende a apreciar verdadera musica y deja de brahamar pinche perra en celo.

[KeyFurs1]

@nephentes33 Tu una bolsa de herramienta para decir que Paco Cervantes, hablan el inglés como el resto del mundo conocido, no creo que las personas no pueden entender porque están hablando español.

[nephentes33]

@KeyFurs1 i didn't understand a word of your stupid, ignorant and mistranslated comment, if you want to write in spanish you should go for some lessons and stop using the google translater.

[Companeroification]

Nirvana OWNED!!!

[cocopuffs1cocopuffs1]

I love when musicians appear to be making sweet love to their music!! Amazing composition, amazing performance.

[Maninthebox21]

A Beautiful Way to Appreciate, and show another side to such a hard compelling catchy song Plus it's Approved by Kurt Cobain himself. It's really the only true Cover I say Worthy

[pipi12383]

sexy voice!!

[tubeuszr]

not good... she can sing but some songs shud not be covered by different styles...

[4evaflyleaf]

not bad weird but not bad

[SirWolfgaar]

My gosh she loves herself and her voice. I'm still trying to figure WHY.

[musiclover97695]

@SirWolfgaar what? you can shove it. Tori Amos was a child prodigy on the piano at age 5, a classical music conservatory drop out at age 11 and a natural on the piano bar curcuit at age 13. Classical music is the hardest to learn and to be trained in and she mastered classical at just age 5 which means she can play any style. Her voice is amazing and she is awesome. Tori isnt trying to show off with this version, shes showing us how a great visionary hurt, so fucking piss off!

[th3wing3dpaint3r]

@musiclover97695 Well, just for the sake of accuracy, Tori never mastered classical music. Not at 5 nor at 11. She's said as much in several interviews. No one can deny how brilliant she is as a pop/rock composer/pianist though.

I also wish she'd played this on a Bosendorfer!

[musiclover97695]

@th3wing3dpaint3r You don't know crap about Tori then. I know for a fact she was a child prodigy on the piano and it started at age 5. She would have sex with the wolf. (a very sexy man), listen to Zepplin and eat pasta if she was on her death bed. Want to know anything more?

[th3wing3dpaint3r]

@musiclover97695 "I realised I knew more about shoes than classical music" said Tori, explaining why it was difficult working on NOH. I'm pretty sure you have to know something at least very well to be able to master it :D

Tori has also expressed her frustration on not being able to/refusing to read sheet music.

[musiclover97695]

@th3wing3dpaint3r for the record she was trained in classical music you idiot. She also had stated in an interview on the Sharon Osbourne show that she has been playing piano sinse the age of 2 and a half. I am looking for the interview that clearly states that Tori was a child prodigy on the piano at age 5 and the rest that you are arguing me on. When I find it I will send it to your inbox so you can feel like a dumb ass!

[th3wing3dpaint3r]

@musiclover97695 Wow! Classy reply! I'm just not sure you're grasping the difference between being a child prodigy and "mastering classical music". There are many interviews wherein tori mentions that she was considered a child prodigy. However, mastering classical music is more than just being able to play a couple of Mozart/Beethoven pieces.

But if it hurts your ego that much, we can pretend that she did...

[SirWolfgaar]

@musiclover97695

Um... no. She sucks. Sorry.

[HIHNickel]

I feel like a goose..

[Lenjaful]

i kind of like it that she gives it her own twist.. I usually hate it when artists do that when they cover a song, but in this case..

[83badseed]

jest gorąca... :)

[not3bad13]

This is that rarest of things, a cover which compliments the classic original .

[TheDorkySquirrel]

I got impatient listening to this. :/

[gecso115]

beautiful  :)

[TheLoveJo77]

My libido, a denial, a denial, a denial..

[TheLoveJo77]

Love the original but this is beautiful too, she adds a new feminine dimension to the song

[musiclover97695]

@TheLoveJo77 I love that you are positive, but alot of people have a mis concept about her version. The original song expressed male rage. Tori is showing us how Kurt Cobain really hurt and suffered. She is expressing sadness and hurt, in which if you break the measures down with less beats per measure you get this. Please people watch her interview on Kurt Cobain.

[SirWolfgaar]

@musiclover97695

I think she's merely showing us how awesome she seems to think she is.

[vvxhotel]

Kurt once said in an interview that he and Courtney would get up in the mornings and listen and dance to this cover. He was flattered by Tori's cover.

[washproof1]

best kurt cobain cover ever

[PerformanceOfaPanda]

Kurt Cobain liked it.

Read his biographie :D do it !

[Recidivo9860]

I shudder in every where...

[Darbundudrator]

А зачем микрофон облизывать?

[Magic1snothere]

feelinlove

[ditadocherty]

kurt liked it :)

[28JadeD]

She's amazing!

[KsandraKuroki]

she is perfect

[davincent98]

At least it's not Miley Cyrus. That one makes no sense.

[kinglmssj]

@davincent98 rolling in his grave for sure ..

[grimgolf79]

@kinglmssj rofl

he once said in an interview that he uses to make tai chi movements to this version of the song.

that was obviously sarcastic, but he didn´t say that he wouldn´t like it so be tolerant. tori amos just makes covers of songs she likes. even slayer...

[robobrow]

Check out her new album coming out next month. I heard 2 tracks from it so far and they are amazing, especially Shattering Sea. At almost 50, her music can still be so amazing.

[man4es]

у меня встал..... извините....

[nightwolf490]

@man4es вижа жарико!!!!

[Skil163]

@man4es да,пусть девушка не самая красивая,но мимика лица,взгляд,голос-она этим идеально управляет=)это даже возбуждает.

[waaagh76]

@man4es

встал на гомосека кобейна?

[emilvadimovich]

@waaagh76 Гомосек это ты, а не Курт Кобейн

[waaagh76]

@emilvadimovich

гыгы школота учит мат часть кобеин малотого что никогда не скрывал что он гомик так при случае даже хвалился

но для вас кумир это бог нуда нуда

дрочите дальше

[emilvadimovich]

@waaagh76 Какой Кобейн гомик? РЕбят вы чо ебанулись? ОТкройте викпедию чтоле. У него жена Корти Лав, у него дочка есть живая, он наркоман, но не гомик. ПО себе людей не судят

[waaagh76]

@emilvadimovich

Курт Кобейн. 1991г. В моей школе не было ни одной привлекательной девушки. У всех были какие-то ужасные прически и еще более ужасное поведение. Именно тогда я решил, что стоит на время перейти к гомосексуальным контактам.

[waaagh76]

@waaagh76

Курт Кобейн. Я даже начал гордиться тем, что я - гомосексуалист, хотя на самом деле я им не был. Мне просто нравилось создавать конфликтные ситуации. Когда меня считали отвратительным и гнусным типом, у меня это вызывало известное волнение. Я понимал, что являюсь не только панк-рокером (а им мне, кстати еще только предстояло стать). Во всяком случае, это намного лучше, чем быть просто отвратительным типом.

это звеззда сама о себе ЫЫЫЫЫ

[emilvadimovich]

@waaagh76 У всех были какие-то ужасные прически и еще более ужасное поведение. Именно тогда я решил, что стоит на время перейти к гомосексуальным контактам. Курт. 1991. Я даже начал гордиться тем, что я - гомосексуалист, хотя на самом деле я им не был.

[piwitron]

This is more subversive than Kurt's original version, and a tad more elegant as well. A preview of the Pandora Box this woman was going to become, being one of the most well-rounded artists of the 90's, along with Trent Reznor, Björk and Thom Yorke.

[IlyaMahone93]

Рыжая беситя

[rudrarrr]

no point in stating the obvious....

[ArcadyRUS]

прикольная рыжая бестия )))

[ARGRYS]

She is Devil.

[Romullox]

versão cheia de emoção e sensualidade. curti!

[rkau8671]

I love it!

[generationlovex]

genia!.. me mata esta cancion, que bien hace este cover

[generationlovex]

genia!.. me mata esta cancion

[generationlovex]

genia!.. me mata esta cancion

[Junken21]

hie drugend ON HEROIN

[dobrij007]

I was bor too late!!!

Why why WHY GOD yuo done it TO ME WHY!?

I want see a real Kurt and real Beatles!

[3619737]

да я вообще поражаюсь - каааак можно было нажать "не нравится"?? 73м людям?? Тори великолепная, эта лучший кавер, наишикааарнейшииий.

[DaRkNess1400]

I dont give a shhh.. If it is in HD the only thing I care about is that if it is available in my country

[artyom8332]

интересно, что любят те 73 человека?

[ToriAmosHD]

This video in HD:

/watch?v=cvQI5-rkV_A

[SuperStanislaFF]

Потрясающе!!!!!!!

[LlewInLouisville]

I remember watching her play this at Phoenix Hill Tavern in Louisville, KY, and it was mesmerizing. Took a song full of unfocused anger and energy and made it haunting.

[josequezidane]

great music, i loved it :) but i have a question .... is she on viagra?? :P hehehe

just kidding :P lol

[silkpill]

such talent, what a beautiful interpretation. 

[GwoBenzin15]

This is so fucking awesome! i love this even more than meat puppets or nirvana's version! 

[TheDDDGROM]

its a shame, rock has better culture

[6iina]

Without any words

[zosiek]

I realy can feel how its come out of her mouth.

[dontleavehimfaceless]

Smells LIke Teen Spirit on piano

watch?v=_K3C-e63R_g

[noblov]

i hate how she moves while singing

[robobrow]

@noblov Yeah she'd better not move and be perfectly stationary.

[MrTomyHendrix]

she is a dirty horny woman i dont like this

[J4m3z1]

I think that this version is amazing but it wouldn't make sense without reference to the Grunge classic by Nirvana. Even whilst listening to this I'm reminded of the angst-ridden original and that memory fused with Tori Amos's delicate yet haunting voice is ultimately what is making every hair on the back of my neck stand right now.

[hlbq]

Can I marry her?

They need to introduce 'repeat' button in You Tube.

[hlbq]

Can I marry her?

[CobainLennon8094]

@FuckRetroAnything Then why'd you message me?

[CobainLennon8094]

She overstates every single note. This doesn't sound fluid at all. Every word is not it's own verse.

[Stronjon]

@CobainLennon8094 You're not very familiar with the way Tori does her things are you?

Doing a cover isn't about getting it as original as possible, her way to play this song appeals many. Obviously not you but that's just a matter of taste, myself I prefer my music a tad bit... chaotic if you will.

Calm, but chaotic.

[WeMustBeStopped]

@Stronjon A truly good cover, in my mind, reinvents a song. Primus doing XTC. Indigo Girls doing Dire Straits. Obadiah Parker doing Outkast. Jenny Owen Youngs doing Nelly. Chris Cornell doing Michael Jackson. I think this, which came out chronologically on the heels of Nevermind, is the benchmark for what you can do with a cover. Who the fuck wants to hear Seether sound exactly like Kurt? This is the absolute craziest spin on a song, and all the more elegic after his suicide. I love it.

[Stronjon]

@WeMustBeStopped True words, couldn't have said it better myself.

A true artist (in my opinion), when doing a cover place his/her own mark and influence in the song.

A typical example from my side would be Live's cover of Walk the line by Johnny Cash. Or for the fact, this specific cover by Tori Amos.

[zatorski]

perfect.

[kaspog0801]

i want to be her mic

[kaspog0801]

i feel horny in this version haha...

[m015094]

I have to admit that when I clicked on this video I had every expectation of hating it. Damn I was wrong.

[clst47]

this is so much darker than the original and I love whatever the hell she's doing with her lips

[LowellFromWings]

Well isn't she just so smug lol. I love Tori, but I never liked this. I find it slow, boring and stupid. I speak this finally years later. I never criticized before because she looks so happy to play it, she's all excited to play a hit teenage grunge song and be young & cool, so I let it go. Maybe she's just too talented and creative for SLTS. I LOVED Nirvana, but I always knew they weren't musical genius like Beethoven or Mozart. Tori IS Genius. I like her originals better than her covers.

[TwoHeartedWish]

I really like this, she has a pretty voice but its really REALLY slow. oAo

[punkrockdrummerdude]

2:03 she had a musical orgasm

[elduderino1287]

66 people are retards.

[NikitaMunchies]

wonderful

[TheJ024]

Kurt was always about the music. And to have someone else play a song he performed in a different form, he had to have been so honored.

[WOOitsPBJtime]

I don't know what everyone's arguing about... every one is entitled to their own opinion.... personally I like it. not as good as the original, but I like the way she changed it up. ...

P.S. am I the only one who thinks it looks like she's having an orgasm as she's singing?? seriously... just watch how she moves and the way her voice changes in intensity at different times.....

[st1cklebr1ck]

@WOOitsPBJtime What's an orgasm?

[IWantToWinIt]

@WOOitsPBJtime cuz She's an artist and she feel the music with entire body.. gorgeous! this version is the best of her performances of this sobg. dark and deep. awww......

[vinstrumentals]

It's frikkin' awesome, she captures the essence, the spirit of the song with only her voice and an acoustic piano. Oh and don't be offended Nirvana fans because Kurt Cobain said he loved her version of the song

[MissShakaMuse]

Woowww !



[fearonification]

i love both of them !

[lulibee3]

wheres the interview in which he says it??

someone please find it cuz otherwise it sounds like ur bullshitting:/

[mrc560]

What was the point of making this a cover? It sounds nothing like smells like teen spirit, all you got is a good song with bad lyrics.

[Gambit7Beyond]

Smells Like Teen Spirit will be one of the best songs of our time. but this is possible the best cover anyone could do for this song. thank you Tori. RIP Kurt Cobain.

[laspilly]

Why can't we be 27 forever

[TheCiaranm94]

@laspilly Kurt Cobain will be 27 forever!

[laspilly]

@TheCiaranm94 Hum... I was not talking about Kurt Cobain, but about Tori Amos and about ageing in body and creativity. Kurt will be 27 forever because he chose not to live anymore. A choice that I disapprove. It takes more courage to see your reflection in the mirror getting older everyday. You don't know yet.
