Tori Amos - Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen - Charlotte

[dondondati]

OMG everyone but Tori SHUT THE FUCK UP! I was at this show! Thank GOD everyone around me knew Tori was who we came to hear!

[AliMatthewsMusic]

There's one in every crowd...

[KaidtFace123]

Ergh. I hate people who sing at Tori concerts. Seriously. Go home and play Singstar. A Tori concert is not the time or the place.

[thedmachine1]

She sings the song well but I like the original better because of the sincerity of Cohen's voice.

[theseer27]

she butchered a great song

[BuckyTheWonderSlug]

Yeah, and I suppose John Cale and Jeff Buckley butchered Hallelujah...oh, and that hack Dylan too...I read that Leonard loved this version, but what does he know?

[MrHathouse]

well said! i HATE HATE HATE the je b. version of hallelujah, and everyone always goes on about it so much! grrr! :L

[nikolaspearce]

snow can wait...i forgot my mittens

[harmen22]

people should not sing along during a tori- concert. If I were there she could have totally spoiled it for me :(

[magischepotje]

briljant song,also take a look of the rock version of this song from rickyenslingertje of famous blue raincoat 2009. brand new,i think this guys did a great job!!

[kakoiguy]

Agree about the 'audience member participation' wrong on every level!

Was this at Manchester Apollo? I was there! XXX

Beautiful.

[boudeca]

awesome, genuine performance of the one of the best songs ever. pity the sound is little shitty (btw - her accent is really hot)

[electricneon2]

amazing

the girl singing is annoying though

[opto3010]

serh schade, das schöne Lied verhunzt, aber das macht Cohen live genauso.

Ich persönlich bleibe lieber bei den LP-versionen, naja vielleicht bin ich auch zu unflexible.

Aber eins ist sicher wenn ich eine persiflage auf tori amos machen würde, würde es genau so klingen.

[GDGspire]

Tori singing "thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes/I thought it was there for good so I never tried" breaks my heart.

[CitizenJain666]

that's hilarious that your comment was on top when i clicked this, that particular line tickling around my head was the reason i searched the song; that line ALWAYS makes me lose it a little, so honest in it's acceptance of the pain for one's own failure...

i was standing right by the girl who was singing. after the song was over the guy in front of me turned around and in a very flamboyant manner said, "Honey. You're no Tori. How about you just watch like the rest of us. OK?" It was awesome. I told him thank you. and she didn't say a thing for the rest of the show. Somewhere out there is a gay guy who i need to buy a drink for cause he saved my experience for me in Charlotte.

It started sucking when the asshole within earshot began "singing."  Uggggh.

[marritdepp]

arg

[holdtheline]

thanks for sharing!! one of best tori covers....always a pleasure listen to her singing so deep and intense

[imabimbo66]

Ack...the person singing in the background.  DISTRACTING!!!

:(

[vinylspun]

I went for the experience, so I'm okay with whatever moves you as long as no one's overpowering what I came to be a part of. :)

[ecoiieee]

agreed about singing....although, I really feel that no one should be singing along. People at the show are paying to hear Tori Amos, not random fans singing near you.

[cd101284]

Seriously.  Why does everyone think they're an American Goddamn Idol these days? I've got news: you blow.

[kriegerkaiser]

LOL! im just teasing, honey. :)

[kriegerkaiser]

people who cant sing shouldnt sing along. :)

[vinylspun]

I wasn't singing, but my arm was going to sleep lol
