PJ Harvey - C'mon Billy

[gammarod]

@sco8d Very good point.

[srekazinskas]

fb page good honest music

[IClots1]

PJ is so human :)

[lirvana2]

Great accordion!

[super1114]

I love this period of her evolution

[CHICADECHINA]

Me encanta al principio de la canción , antes de empezar a cantar como se mueve mientras golpea la pandereta.

También es fenomenal como ruge cuando pronuncia " I remember"

[gnatsnapper1945]

alluring music

[gnatsnapper1945]

really cutting guitar

[BridgetMurphyBoston]

"I swear you're the only one!!!"

[Yobotistan]

She's the THE FALL in our female form. Good. 

[RutaDB]

Fender Jaguar...raaawr. John you devil.

[realvariation]

the butoh of rock music

[sehmir79]

Adoro P J Harvey!!!!!

[sehmir79]

Favolosa Gnocchetta!

[relfexreaction]

i had no idea they used an accordion - wiser again! :)))

[BridgetMurphyBoston]

This one goes out to "MY LITTLE BILLY!!!" :)

[ktbaby077]

lovve the makeup.. better on than off

[TheWheels777]

ah this is great what an easy groove

[Rumhurius]

what a stage presence...

she is the hottest alien ever ! =:)

[adsones]

sometimes i stop and ask myself: this woman is really real?

[Isidoredekass2000]

Amazing, I've been there

[Gnomebe]

One of the best music video's on youtube.

She didn't make it in the music business even after 'stories from city, stories from the sea'! DAMN!!! I'd BE BULLS**T!!! What do you have to do. (Oh there's a problem with the industry and machine that run's it. Now I get it !!! ) SICK

[PLASTICINEtm]

@Gnomebe she didn't make it? who told you so?! such a lie...

[HousleyMike]

@Gnomebe -- I'm seeing her, she made it far enough.

[Gnomebe]

@HousleyMike After "Stories...album I thought the mercury prize was a pat on the back artistically, but I have never heard her on the radio in the states. That album was a work of art. Money is important too.

[HousleyMike]

@Gnomebe -- I show my appreciation by paying to partake of her art. If she needs or expects something more -- more fans? more money? new shoes? destruction of rivals?-- it's not my concern. I don't understand your apparent sorrow and rage. We celebrate and contribute and partake with the artist. What else do YOU expect? colossal masses of sweating worshippers? Universal acclaim? Sainthood?

[Gnomebe]

@HousleyMike Britney Spears has all that.

[HousleyMike]

@Gnomebe -- Well, okay then.

[lowlockunknown]

This is what real girl power looks like. F**k Madona.

[edwardnlewis]

@lowlockunknown

too right. pjh brings together sassiness, intelligence, passion, assertiveness, depth, humanity, wit, femininity and sexual confidence. madonna lacks (at least) the intelligence, wit and depth; lady gaga lacks (at least) the humanity and the wit.

[napalmocean]

@lowlockunknown Madonna offers promiscuous sexuality and female dominance. PJ Harvey offers self-empowerment and an adventitious, sardonic view on life. They both are great symbols of "girl power", at least in my opinion. Also, I'm an advocate for passive behavior, let's not go around "F**k"-ing anyone.

[millennica]

Edie Sedgwick make up

[toni7777ful]

подражательница Бьорк

[sijran]

I've never seen a single live performance from her that wasn't amazing. How does she do that?

[eatingcandy]

beautiful creature

[Andreasleon27]

best female singer of the 90s and 00s

[yourkickspuppies]

well or not, someone could have told her to wipe her eyes so we could see that beautiful face

[CaptainKubla]

Musically this is probably the best version on YT, but it kind of creeps me the fuck out too because she was not a well person at this point, as she has said in interviews herself. She looks a little lost to me, but she's feeling the music for sure. Strange how the best performances often come when people are a bit fucked up/strung out and in altered states.

The makeup is bizarre too, like she's trying to hide from herself. She fucking rocks though no doubt, bona fide truly great songstress.

[scobbiebhoy]

let me guess connective769 your outside her house right now....you seem like a freaky dude!!!

[XYZTanya]

unique!

[Gnomebe]

Timeless

[MamaCakes]

Such a big powerful voice out of that tiny little girl.

[pepe4rock]

i prefer this version with the e-guitar - sounds more crispy

[moly5524]

Watch that accordian guy groove it!

[lassixjune]

Que ópera!

[nazareneson37]

saw this show when i was16 in haifa, PJ was great

[HUSSABI]

i woldve loved to have been there ive seen some amazing footage from that show.. my favorite version of long snake moan was preformed there

[TopDanceTunesDotCom]

Loved 2:47 and the whole song too

[connective769]

i am addicted. to her voice. to her words, her guitarpicking, her moves. cant stop the hunger. is addiction equal to love? or shame? i have me a bottle of good scotch and some coke. i am celebrating, baby! cuz no one enlightens me like your songs, babe.

[AudioSyndicate]

@connective769

It's her VooDoo workin'

[michigansharky330]

Best live version with the bass and drums intro

[KingCrimson776]

She's one of the coolest chicks ever, her music is godawful but this is worth watching just to look at her and all her little movements and expressions. I'm not creepy or anything.

[InKa4484]

lmfao just outta curiosity what's your favourite king crimson album?

[KingCrimson776]

Red.

[Daphuhnuh]

She's so awesome... just disturbingly skinny then.

[Gnomebe]

budmotor no shit

[Y2JRGC]

ahaha I'm lovin' the makeup

[beatlechik19]

she looks pretty though :P

[eliactu]

strange makeup

[budmotor]

1995 is gone

[plurboy15]

i miss the mid 90's :(

[deritnkcis]

@budmotor what is your problem - let it go - everything is gone the next day - why be a dick about something so obvious? let him celebrate - at least he feels something

[Gnomebe]

@budmotor Some "artists" are timeless douchbag!!!

[peejayfromhell]

She's my rock godness !! Her songs live are incredibly awesome :D Pity I've missed her live in Warsow, Poland :(

[UnbeltedSundew]

Please do. Anyone intellectually dishonest enough to consider Israel an apartheid state doesn't deserve 'em.

[booobbobo]

Please do enlighten us Youtube unwashed masses. How could you possibly not? Imagine the beating of breasts and gnashing of teeth if ANY country made it a point to single out israelis the way you single out palestinians.

[UnbeltedSundew]

I have no idea what you're on about booobbobo, your comment makes little sense in relation to mine. If you have a point to make, consider trying to make your meaning clear.

[Lezczinsky]

apartheid was in south africa, baby.

[MimiSweden]

Polly Jean in my fucking heart! <3

[gabmarchi]

she was doing the whole bowesque-joan-crawford-on-acid­-thing at that time.

[sindreyworks]

i was there ha ha ha

amazing show

[zachmasterzach]

Great song...this version rocks. The makeup is unneccessary, but that's just PJ being PJ.

[tsarlik]

ELA RE VASILI...MOU!!

ELA

:)

[loopyridesagain]

PJ's kabuki-thick makeup makes me think of Diamanda Galás.

Artsy folk can check out the goth excesses of The Divine Punishment Part 1 here on YT.

I love this crazy, circular world.

[DragQueen]

the same! Diamanda RULEZ!

[deemoowoor]

I love the accordeon, it sounds so well in this composition!

[unprofessionl]

beautiful! thanks!

[thisispin]

one of my favorite PJ Harvey song.

this is amazing.

[IreneT1210]

Goddess, indeed :))!

[kathleenvh]

GOD DESS

[InKa4484]

GOD i'm lonely.

[InKa4484]

Lmfao, a stupid statement I made in drunken desperation and fascination of PJ Harvey gets 2 thumbs up, WTF people? You should've marked it as spam.

[JCBigCat]

yeah, thumbs down for me!

:)

[InKa4484]

keep up the good work. Maybe one day people will know that their opinions are worthless and stop posting them on youtube.

[JCBigCat]

that's exactly my point of view.

thank you for being so clever, see you on another worthless comment!

;)

[JktuUekmw]

He-he-he :) that's a funny comment XD I mean, I kinda understand, yeah, I can hear you XD maybe it's 'cos I'm lonely too, i don't know, but I was able to literally hear you saying that XD (I mean your first comment) :)

And PJ is great, by the way :)

[prettysorryeyes]

this woman's voice will haunt you. in a very good way.

[InKa4484]

I don't know if she has a small body or a big head but she makes it look sexy. Maybe thats just my love of her music talking.

[kikkiokioli]

I think she said once that her friends call her 'big-headed Harvey'. She does have a disproportionately large head, esp. on that tiny frame of hers.

It's been said that the biggest Hollywood stars tend to have very large heads. Something about the physical size that lends itself to creating a strong, powerful image on screen.

[InKa4484]

she must have a gigantic mouth then cause it looks big even on her head. I don't care i just wanna kiss it.

[kathleenvh]

she doesnt have a big head, i think she's anorexic here. when women get too skinny, their heads look too big for their bodies - kindof like bobble heads. u can see it on celebs all the time.

[InKa4484]

She must still be anorexic cause she is still tiny with an apparently big head.

[donnybrooklads]

Just peering at my old NMEs circa '79 and there's the same Polly you see today - stunning, ambitious, intelligent and SO talented. Did I say stunning?

[youttubeisthesuck]

Loved this crack whore mime look.

[irelandsalvo]

I own this CD. Polly Jean Harvey was one of the most prolific female artists of her time. Her voice had a sadness to it, but it was so sexy!

[sirilidbeck]

she's not dead, you know.

[irelandsalvo]

Gee wiz, thanx for the update. But she hasn't come out with anything notable since the 90's.

[bmesesan]

Oh - she did, dude . Update a bit your discotheque.

[skunkfoottttt]

i think she's trying to look like a doll artists.........

[Djindjuva]

razvaljuje riba. genije je

[cecacc]

totalno

[theonlyonebuttwo]

wtfs wrong with her face LOL

[ZZqezza]

I always wonder if she looked in a mirror after the gig and was shocked of how much her make up went down during the show because this look is really scary:-) However it somehow suits her character from this era

[AudioSyndicate]

@ZZqezza

she wants it to be smeared like that. And besides she looks COOL and beautiful.

[aniabaniarocks]

@ZZqezza this make up its in purpouse like this!!!!!..hehe dont u think? nowadays does not go down like this...

[ZZqezza]

No I dont think that is done like this on purpose - look on her photos or videos from this era. Yes, her make-up then was heavy but always pretty. She's never wore purposely smudged make-up.

[mikedtw]

@ZZqezza hi! I believe she was working with/against the whole idea of stylized beauty and the public expectations of what "our" singers should look like... doesn't matter at all, LISTEN TO THE MUSIC don't bash the fash...

[alibechandhermit]

@ZZqezza I don't think her make up went anywhere. I think it is exactly where she put it.

[fizzb100]

@ZZqezza

She came on stage like that.

[sichaar]

@ZZqezza Nothing, ever, against PJ, but it does recall Alice Cooper.

[vutrashin]

do jaja

[olenkazokienka]

i love you PJ, AM ISRAEL HAI!

[proteinpornografi]

well. wasnt't it joan collins on acid?

[aakabowley]

Give it to me PJ!

[laserdave82]

She's a Goddess!!! and the performance is great!!! I love her slutty image from the To Bring You MY Love period.

[maritree]

damn sexy song.. she is so awesome!! HOT!

[kal3vi]

I dig her tbyml character, cause there's this rougher edge to the way she performs and especially to how she conveys the feeling of each song compared to other "eras"

[MariaAntonia]

I wish there were more videos from these years, she was so amazing.

[kathleenvh]

o duh the band too :) sweet!

[kathleenvh]

wow she's amazing!

[Panidonia1]
