Putting the Damage On (Tori Amos)

[aigean5]

love it. period.

[1b1b1k]

my god you are pretentious...you should be singing in a boy band, you are disgracing het sincerity.

[TonicTHEgreat]

Tori is not an easy cover - yet your renditions are gorgeous and layered with emotion. Wonderful to hear a male take. Swoon.

[Eubulondus]

Um, yeah. So I'm basically in love with you. Just thought you should know.

[hotfukka]

@Eubulondus you can't have him. he's mine:p

[kevlev]

@brianonlinenl You'll have to fight me for him. LOL.

[strangelittlegirl27]

I looove this song live, I love any version tori can do :P

[DanyBoyMr24]

I don´t like it lool tori amos is the best doing it

[craigiebaby808]

It is seven am and u just made me cry! So beautiful! And so did Northern Lad!

[caroliamos]

Très beau...Ton interprétation bien sur...

[LeeFlowers92]

Could you be anymore perfect!?!?!? Amazing! You should do this for a living. =)

[kikiperpie]

omg, love your voice. that sounds trite and i am generally a very critical person so take as a big compliment. Tori is a fab act to follow so kudos to you

[gattacca94]

I love it....I'd love to hear/see a duo between you two. Singing in unison. Love it!

[luvyourdog11]

beautiful!!!!

[funkylovejunkie]

This is one of my favourite songs of all time, i was ready to rip you to shreds.....but it was amazing, great voice, utter sincerity. perfect rendition. thanks dude

[ithgardenguy]

Once again, Thank you! Keep singing, Please!! You would make Tori proud!!

[veryverymakmak]

Very well done! ENCORE!

[KatKaleen]

you keep on hurting me.

[KatKaleen]

damn.. you still manage to do it.

i really can´t tell why I listen to your version as I have the original on cd...

"it hurts better" doesn´t really explain anything.

[anastasia81472]

I wouldn't say you owned the song. Not everyone has her vocal range, but you did a wonderful job of wearing it. You maintained the depth of the song beautifully. I enjoyed it very much.

[wolfphile]

I appreciate you giving a male perspective to the song. I can see the struggle singing "light in your platoon." I guess sometimes it's kinda overwhelming when you're at a moment of acknowledging, in retrospect, another person's goodness.

[carr10]

This is indeed Perfect. I just shared it on my fb!

[thuggie1]

your a fantastic singer and the power it is is brilliant

also your sexy as well

[russian1618]

You are incredible!!

you will make it far!!

keep it up!!

[geonathanfamous]

An amazing rendition of an amazing song. Good job.

[khump777]

i love this..... one of the most beautifully written songs EVER, and your interpretation of it is incredible.

[justincrase]

That gave me chills. BRAVO!!!

[HelloMrZebra]

You have a beautiful voice. Good job.

[johnbsparks]

You are amazing.

[smooth132]

gorgeous

[mastermind216]

The way you barely whispered the "light in your platoon" lines... you killed me. I am bawling.

I have NEVER heard Tori covers I thought were even remotely decent... but my god. Perfect.

[goochieguy]

beautiful

[Hereinmyhead102]

I was at the oakland and sacramento shows in 1996. the sac show is still my very favorite show I have ever been to. For some reason i never watches this video but you did a great job.

[123Davael]

Envy has so many weak faces. : ) At least you know your place.

[TexasTiburon]

Damn.. There are not any words for how I feel about your performance of this...

[miguemavs]

SUBLIME!!!

[Lvb1803]

I get gooseflesh...

[KatKaleen]

Still love it.

[KatKaleen]

I stumbled over this when I was searching for the original song... but this is really beautiful! It´s a wonderful "try-to-sing-along" song... but only very few can do it like that!

<3

[soapboxderbyqueen]

This is an AMAZING song. It's wonderful to hear a man's interpretation. Such a beautiful voice you have. Thank you for sharing this.

[speedy2918831]

beautiful... you just make Tori songs like they were yours

[Alitisses]

*LOL*

[khump777]

I'm in love with your sound - AMAZING, AMAZING talent.

[khump777]

I could listen to you all day. I'm in love with your sound - AMAZING, AMAZING talent.

[bennieboy3215]

Beautiful! Good you hit it! This is one of my fav songs and you make it yours! I love it!

[candidlyanthony]

God... every time I watch this song I STILL get chills. You are absolutely freaking AMAZING! I love all your vids! You have such an amazing talent, beautiful voice and can play the piano like no ones business! KUDOS to you! Keep up the good work!

[charlesrenault]

By listening to your performance I can tell how much this song means to you. I used to live through this song. Beautiful job.

[moskalg]

Amazing! The best male (or female for that matter) covers of Tori Amos. Thanks for posting.

[SILinchesVER]

best tori cover i've ever heared. awsome!

[soapboxderbyqueen]

Wow. Everyone is a big bad critic, huh? Beautiful job. A male voice singing this is great. Wonderful voice! Wonderful passion! I wish I could sing that well! Don't listen to mean people. Nothing seems to make some people happy.

[XshattereddreeamsX]

great! one of my favorite tori amos songs =)

you rock!

[TinnyLinda]

matthew, you still look so pretty...

[persona19]

I don't think he can kick the energy level up, when he tries to wail like Tori his voice sounds like a strangled cat. I'm not impressed, a lot of people can sing when they hold their voice to a whisper.

[Celestialtears006]

can I make a suggestion? Kick the energy level up a knotch but your style started out really good - towards the end your energy level dipped too low though! but great try =)

[cigiss]

i think the nrg level is absolutely perfectly comparable to the original!

[takernotagiver]

You do the most expressive Tori songs I've ever seen (not to mention you have a gorgeous voice).

Rare that someone can put as much feeling into a cover that the original artist did.

Beautiful.

[RMormon]

Just amazing... THANK YOU!

[TinnyLinda]

you sure do look pretty when you're putting the damage on! :)

[lizzclare]

goosebumps :)

[dog1010]

Dammnn!

Very impressed and loved how made the song your own.

Seriously kudos !

[candidlyanthony]

My goodness... it's been a while since I've watched this video... I forgot how much you gave me the chills with this. I absolutely love how you cover this song. By far one of my favorites that you do. Brilliant!

[followTHAT]

Very nice, this is one of my fav Tori songs. (you're way cute too). I think you could do a great cover of "Amber Waves".

[Nikkita0616]

I love your covers...especially Tori Amos' covers. They are great. Tori es mi cantante favorita y tu lo haces genial ! ;)

[Astushka]

i really really like this version. you made me cry! please post more songs.

[sandyman1671]

awesome like i said. I'M GOING TO BROADWAY TO SEE YOU,!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheKillingJar26]

I bet you'd rock out doing some Siouxsie too.

[ecee413]

This is my all time favorite song. I found this video a few weeks ago, and I find myself coming back to it. You are a beautiful person with a matching voice. Wow!!!!!!!

[AmandaLoree]

Tori isn't east to pull off, you have balls of steel. Very emotional and beautifully done.

[weejimmyjimjams]

This has to be one of my all time fav. tori songs!

And you did it justice!

So you've officially won my heart!

xx

j

[sexysebastian]

heh, that was funny

[sandyman1671]

GREAT keep going

[ajmporter22]

I just wanted to say, that I have been watching your videos for a while and I am very impressed. I have been a feet with ears for a while and I love your tori covers. That being said you have an amazing voice, a wonderful ability to interpret songs and make them your own. I would very much like to hear more tori covers, but I would also love you see more of your own songs. P.S. your voice is incredicibly sexy.

Adam

[JunsuiKibou]

i'm speechless...

[ericangelot]

I'm afraid of your face. I feel as if you're going to jump out of a mirror and stab me! HELP!!

[Nivvers14]

"i say her skinny legs could use sun"

brilliant.

[candidlyanthony]

No words can describe this.... all I can say is beautiful.

[vins1979]

Your voice helps me to stop a sec, take a deep breath and feel all my fears vanishing in the air. Like light which raises from the dark. Maybe all of us experience the fear to go to see our favourite performer late show, but we buy the ticket and go anyway. But fear of what? Our days could be easier than we imagine... Thanks again. V.

[luiscueto]

Nice! I kinda liked your cover of Toast better, though. And don't worry about being starstruck around Tori. It's happened to the best of us. I met her in NY two years ago and I'm still in shock. She's just that magical.

[evanymanny]

wow, how in the world did you meet tori? that would be a dream come true!

[vkotis]

That was great. I don't listen to Tori cover songs either but from the beginning to the end it was great. More Tori Amos covers please!!!

[boblik15]

omg ! You're AMAZING. I started to cry on the first sentence. You rock! :)

[amysgrrrl]

Matthew....you really blew me away! I usually don't like covers of Tori songs but you were amazing. Your voice and rendition of this song was the best I have ever heard. I would love to hear you cover more Tori songs. You are an amazing artist.

[prl1973]

I *really* didnt think anyone could carry the "I... I... I... I..." part but you totally did.

[CCarmen]

When will you marry me? Ok, I know the answer is never, but anyway, had to ask...really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work! And...may I make a request? "Cloud On My Tongue" and/or "Taxi Ride". Take care - C

[briansh75]

I thought it was really an interesting expression of one of my absolute favorite songs of all time. I felt that you really had a connection with the song...I thought it was extremely well done. I really heard your "voice".

[toodlesfer]

you just killed my fave tori song ever.

[sunnyelaine999]

Simply amazing!

[PreciousEarthquakes]

once again...amazing. I honeslty could never believe that anyone could even come close to covering a Tori song. But every video of you, you can do it. I feel every word...just like if it WAS Tori.

You have an amazing talent and such an amazing, ummmm...soul to you. (based on the emotions I hear)

YOU ROCK!!

[staringsleepwalker]

Completely and utterly beautiful. This is one of my favourite Tori songs (well, pretty much all the songs from Pele are, but...) and you captured the essence of it beautifully.

[joshsparber]

Dearest Matt,

You sure look pretty when you're putting the damage on.

[wolfishone]

I like the fact that you make me feel like you really understand the same things I do from her song. Thanks for sharing this...much appreciated.

[wangowango]

Truly beautiful. Thanks for posting.

[guyinterrupted]

goddamn it, now i'm officially addicted...

[nachooo]

GREAT COVER MAN!

[xstevenxpowellx]

you are so amazing

i think you're the only person that can pull off Tori

the emotion of the songs is not lost

you are fantastic

Hey Jupiter please!

x

[tenderbloodrose]

Fabulous!

NOT THE RED BARON!

PLLLEEEASSE

*screaming fan noise*

[guerreiro]

How much cooler can you be by playing requests? You are a rare gem amongst people by giving back in song and spirit. Beautiful song. Keep playing and we will keep listening.

[DamienDane]

Fantastic cover. I'm an avid Tori fan. She would be happy to hear your covers. Plus you look so pretty... whether you're putting the damage on or not. - Damien

[anasghost]

Hi Matthew. Thanks a lot for responding to my request. So beautiful.

¡Gracias!

Have a great day.

Cheers from the south.

[Uhhhmerica]

Wow.

[omglocojose]

you should totally do taxi ride and a sorta fairytale.

[MuseOfSin]

I am just blown away...Wow.

[amnesziac]

i'm actually in tears.
