She is so incedible, it sounds like an incison has been made in her heart and her throat is being ripped out via her heart. By the way Placebo did a fine job at ruining a classic in my opinion. I appreciate they're admiration, but they really were not qualified to take on such a tune.

No he couldn't possibly be more of a tool, neither could pj harvey. She is a shitload more shit than the presenter because she actually thinks she is somebody.
stop being a dick. sorry you probably been told this before too "she actually thinks she is somebody." so i didn't really mean that. but seriously. :| just enjoy the beautiful music she sings.
maybe the guy is a bit 'not really funny', but hey: it's nostalgic for me to see him again....one of the best PJ songs....real nice to play this on guitar and sing (and try not to cry; cause it's such a freaking beautiful song)
Yeah, this guy is very obnoxious! (Sorry mum). I've always wondered if PJ recorded a Studio version of this song. I like the version on 4track demos, it sounds very good in demo form. Does anyone know if she ever recorded a studio version, and if she did, does it sound like it does here? If it does, I like the demo version better. Awesome song in any form.
like i give a sh-- what MTV thinks about music, MTV = Mainstream Teenage Venom - yep, it kills/killed music, I am sure PJ doesn't like doing shows like this, she just wants to be an artist, without all the b.s. that surrounds it, sad that she has to go through stuff like this, but she is too nice to ever say anything bad about these shows, and just wants to share her artistic expression. ♥♥♥ PJ ♥♥♥
Shut up dude

This is Ray Cokes from MTV's Most Wanted. Probably the best programme in Mtv's history.
By the way, This is probably around 1995 when MTV used to play proper music.
(and i mean european mtv, i think american mtv never ever played proper music)

Very good performance. PJ Harvey is the 90's Lady Gaga with much less marketing and alittle more talent.
