Regina Spektor - Poor Little Rich Boy (Lollapalooza 2007)

[NinjaPorpoise]

I want to be able to say I can play the chair.

[Kaegri]

I've thought this multiple times, but honestly...

She's an instrument ^^

All her limbs are doing something with different things, piano, chair, pedals...

[theoccidentalrose]

She's like, "Haha, you don't have a giiiiirlfriend."

I adore Regina.

[Beatles4eva3]

can she be any cuter?!?! :D i love love LOVE her!! <3

[magy21120007003636]

The guy in the background with the shades at 0:52 knows he's impressed by the freaky chick banging on a chair :D

[craiasanoptii]

she reminds me of a child that has been disappointed by some guy and was so angry that she wrote down a song to put her anger in.

[VerucaBucket]

I love the fact that she giggles when the crowd cheers. Most singers just stay straight-faced, as if they expect it. She's so genuine!

[musicismyname7]

Best performance of this song. :)

[geniusface]

because of the way she says "better" in Fidelity, I got it in my head that Regina was a Britt. Seeing this was sort of a bombshell for me <.< Um, I love this song though, this version in particular

[MsArtemisiaAbsinthe]

What did that chair ever do to deserve such punishment?

[LynnLovePotatoes]

@MsArtemisiaAbsinthe we all know the chair enjoys it X) I know I would if I was a chair :D

[RiceNFish]

@MsArtemisiaAbsinthe It was a naughty naughty chair. Touching people's asses and whatnot.

[bill11097]

@RiceNFish You are awsome your comment made me wet myself almost with laughter not sure why :) 

[RiceNFish]

@bill11097 Glad I can make you wet yourself.

[LilOrangeCrayon]

I think it's cute how she sounds a little nervous and talks fast and stumbles on words in the beginning. :3

[TheLisainnes]

<3 She is so amazing.

[ThreeSixGuy]

It's quite alarming, the absence of drumstick-piano-and-chair songs in the music world. But then again, only Regina can pull that off. And headbang as well. :D

LOVE YOU REGINA

[slurpeedood]

a bunch of unloved ladies at that show

[jamiejojo22]

i love how you can see that regina spector loves what she does in her body movements

[mushroomtide]

SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

[YouFloppedMyNuts]

I could watch her 24/7, not kidding! I'll never ever ever ever get tired of her! She's soo amazing! So spontaneous! She's one of my most favorite artists ever! I'll probably explode when seein her live!:-) REGINA MARRY ME!!!

[ulookconfusedYAY]

She's freaking incredible. Who can play a chair and a piano simultaneously whilst singing? Regina can.

[amylynndimeo]

GOD I love her!!!!!

[lizOkay]

Shes crazy haha

[luckycommenter]

Hit the chair, sing a word, play the piano....and repeat. Phew. :)

[Abetterworld117]

She's so sweet and talented!

[obiwankendrobi]

She is so amazingly talented.

[Lauraaah91]

Shes got soo little hands ---> 2:22

[shock3e]

So goddamn coordinated.

[xEricaAestheticx]

Just from watching any live performance she gives, you can tell on how absolutely humble and good-hearted she is - after every single song is over she thanks her audience and always has this huge, bright smile like she's completely grateful and in awe that these people are here to see her. She's amazing.

[blueyandstormy]

shes so talented

[BloomAndGrow]

to keep the rhythm in one hand and play the piano in the other: It's so much harder than it looks!

It takes true talent to do so :)

And regina's got that stunning voice of hers to top it all off!

[weloveradiosomuch]

@BloomAndGrow it's easier than you think, just as easy as playing piano with two hands

[BloomAndGrow]

@weloveradiosomuch

really?

I've been playing piano for awhile now, and I've never been able to do that. It's just rhythmically different from playing the piano with two hands to me.

Perhaps I'm just incapable >_>

[Lauraaah91]

@BloomAndGrow I agree. I dont know how someone can do such a thing. Amazing.

[boca1psycho]

She is so Amazing, I cannot even scratch my self with each hand in two different places at the same time, let alone sing that poetic lyrics while playing the piano and drumming a wooden chair, add up that she looks gorgeous the whole time.

[pomoapple]

shes playin the hell out of that chair

[babyskullsx]

multi taskinggggggg

[Zapbrannigan23]

she's such a badass when she's singing but she's so shy and cute when she's not. I want to marry her as much as I think every dude does, which is to say A LOT.

[aquamarinefan1]

16 people are dumbasses

[muffhumper]

she's just so incredibly BEAUTIFUL... and entertains like so few know how. ♥

[SilverIlly]

Wow, I've always loved this song but this particular performance is EVEN MORE AWESOME!!!

[ak123456p]

Totally her mom chilling by the dude in the white shirt. So fucking cute!

[Lysten2100]

Who knew dropping the "gd" could be so adorable! :D

[awesomishhchick]

she's so amazing

i love her reference to one of my favorite short stories by hemingway...drinking in the cafe

this music is so real, love it.

[crazzy991]

I was considering attempting to describe how fantastic this song is... Then i thought about it and decided i don't have nearly the words for it.

[gabo3rn]

the way she smiles omg...

[trackster3222]

she has the greatest smile ever! she's too cute :)

[BenDuvallIrwin]

the way she um so many times made me melt

[Ezperaze]

omg, that's beastly. She can sing so clearly, while she hits the chair, and plays the piano, This woman is really something.

[1ataloss1]

oh regina, youre so cute =)

[josieleah1]

I just love how she says young. Cutest thing ever!

[estocastico]

Fucking insame genious!!!

[crapatitus]

i always wondered what she was banging on... at first i thought it was on the piano, but then the sound quality of the piano was really good, leading me to believe that it was probably a steinway, so i dunno if she woulda done that on one of those.

now i know :D

[mydarlinglauren]

i love her.

[Avatar1014]

i love Regina. what a sweetheart!

[Graciefrance]

i love her to death :')

and shes so kooky <3

[mstoker]

she's insaneeeeeeeeeeeeee

[megarooish]

wow

[OliviaDoDance]

I love this live-version so much, but i hate the version on the soviet kitsch-album...

[dixiechiq810]

SUPER W-O-W!!!! :) She is just so amazing. Now that defines a real artist. Raw talent, so pure and creative. I love Regina Spektor and her God given voice.... :) Your music just relaxes me so much. Good job on doing percussions, piano while singing at the same time! :* You rock girl! :) This is why I love acoustic music. :)

[seizetheday224]

Talk about a multi tasker!

[bozo47p]

[leo85ruso2010]

I run out of words to describe what goes in this world a person like Regina Spektor.

[floatingtrains]

[PotterWatchFan]

[Cannebalcake]

If Regina would perform 'smelly cat',  I think she could really pull it of! :D

[TheMrFraz]

GORGEOUS

[murielyn]

te amo regina!!

[elebunny45]

i can barely keep one beat and here Regina is keeping up with three things at once. Regina is awesome! its like she isnt even human. more like something better. she is definitely a species of her own. like a, Reginasaurus

[monday2am]

you know, it's almost disturbing how good and genuinely talented she is

[elebunny45]

she is just the cutest thing when she gets all flustered like at the beginning. all those "um"s really brings out that little girl quality she always seems to have. so cute.

[sorga5]

She is so cute at the begining :) I loved this song. My brother looked up her profile on myspace and she even listed under instruments " Drumstick on chair" xD

[lovestopanic]

jeez. i want one!!

[WeStandRightThere]

She's so talented.

[beetles1988]

Happy Birthday Regina!!!!!

[atnbrittazniak]

I have "You're so young you're so goddamn young" tattooed on my foot. No lie.

[goldfishinaglass]

that's going to be ironic when you're eighty, but I still salute you. :)

[GLadToBeteensLGBT]

shes just soooo uber cool

xxx

[Laneyboo39]

She is amazing! I love her!

[beauti4ashs]

shoot, I feel bad for the chair and the drumstick . (laughing)

[beauti4ashs]

@ AnthnoyMinsky--yes, well, I think if I were you and I had to pick, I would go with the drumstick ;)

[JonnyRocketfingers7]

and I thought Zooey Deschanel was the cutest thing alive. Regina just stole first place in my mind!!

[bracketPOP]

AHHH omgoodness I was just thinking the same thing about the same people!

[Furiouslyfappin]

@JonnyRocketfingers7

I totally felt the exact same way.

[hellangely]

@JonnyRocketfingers7 Both of them are gorgeous.

[skatendestroy93]

@JonnyRocketfingers7 hahaha i've been thinking the same for about a month now

[dtdude1992]

@JonnyRocketfingers7 woaaaaaaaah there buddy! those are bold words you speak ;)

[ZUKARY]

@JonnyRocketfingers7 Same top 2... Scarlett Johanson follows

[JonnyRocketfingers7]

@ZUKARY Scarlett Johanson is SEXAY! I'm tallkin bout the cute unbelievably adorable factor. :P

[Fire9Staff]

[cuckoo61]

[kovy274hart]

[corichg]

This lady hates chairs!

[laridama]

[rasputinloverify]

mm apologies i was somewhat enraged, yeah things are pretty cold, regina was in glasgow last night however which pretty much made my year!

[jivansegco]

You definitely don't get it. Poor you!

[scoobles08]

massive fucking cool points. thank you.

[2AtomsInAMolecule]

OMGGG shes unbelievable & creative & talented. really really amazes me n_n

[catbijalba]

Dude, this is absolutely amazing! *-*

[raimonk]

the first time I saw someone play the chair.. :DD

[foxblade2]

@raimonk i kn ow and it was totally crazy but way awesome at the same time regina spektor makes even just sitting playing a grand piano more inventive and fun shes so entertaining and unexpecting when you watch her i would love it if she came to northern ireland in belfast it would be so awesome (i really hope it happens even though its unlikely i wont give up ;D

[TheReginaspektorfan]

@raimonk and she does it so well!

[RaeHannahDear]

Gaaaahhhh!!!! She's so flipping brilliant. I get goose bumps when I watch her. I pretty much love her.

[rockeight]

you know what, it makes me so alive and happy im a living thing my heart goes bang bang that whats it all bout we are alive we are all beautiful and i dont ave a girlfriend

[scoobles08]

wow... dude, you said way too much. lol

[coolchik9r9r]

O.O HOW DOES SHE DO THAT?!?!?! Srsly!!! It's hard enough 2 just play piano and sing at the same time.... XD

[elebunny45]

she is so amazing. is there anything she cant do? except for raise the dead or move objects with her mind or create planets or... well she cant do alot of things.

[AnthonyMinsky]

I heard she can leap tall buildings in a single bound :) seriously tho, there is definitely a little extra something in this lady that's not quite the norm. She can raise the dead in my heart, I'll tell you that!! And I didn't think that was possible :)

[Sepheriel]

Well... she can't sing so that's covered.

[karunchi18]

Just Great!

[edenton9]

i dont know how she does all of that at the same time.... its amazing!

[TachyMoncada]

I thing the same!!!

[ATribeCalledRyan]

Plus she is totally operating the piano pedals too! She is singing and playing her chair and operating pedals and playing piano, craziness.

[luihp]

in 0:56 the woman wearing black in the background was completly pleased. Regina is great.

[orangestreak]

I've seen her a bunch of times.  She's awesome.

[hopingalways]

She is just too cool.

Pass on your wisdom, Regina!!!

[ayniang]

she looked really nervous

[KleiMo1991]

How does she all this multi-tasking? :D Man, she's just too awesome for this. :D

[CoraRora]

Amazing that she can keep beat and play piano and sing.. talent!

[SponsoredbyDuffBeer]

she is the most passionate live performer ever!!!SHE IS MINDBLOWING!!!

[philosophygirl123]

i love this woman too much!! jesus...

[Cutiestef124]

Is there anything she cant do......shes so talented :)

[TheWhatawonderful]

OMG!!!! So perfect.

[MelancholyToaster]

1:00 ....amazing!

[thehushkat]

SHOOT.

Oh, Regina Spektor, you're ah-mazing.

[ranita405]

omg!!! she's soo good... it's incredible difficult what she's doing, she's singing, playing piano and hitting with the stick... but she never loses the beat!!!!!

[sarahj108]

What a cutie.

[xcoolxlooserx]

COORDINATION.

[catfishblues001]

she is way 2 cute. any girls like her out there that can sing like her? no? please..?

[cristasdfg]

supercoordinación

[BarcaCatalan]

+ talento

Amen.

[Passions128]

so talented, I can't understand just how she does what she does!

[born2perform313]

she's so cute! i love the classic regina-ness of this song. just her voice, her piano, her own music, a chair, and a drumstick.

[psychomeower]

Gorgeous. Regina has a beautiful voice, a quirky personality, and she can do three things at once. Hurrah for the female ability of multi-tasking!

[Fiffiluris]

this is so amazing!! she is like doing 3 things at the same time...playing "drums", piano and singing!! =D=D wow

[Kewlkiddieluv]

She is a triple threat. Go Regina!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pxndxmendoza]

what type of music is this called I want like a whole collection is possible!

[ShroomClub]

I think it's called Anti-folk.

[Graleystives]

This song and 'Us' define Soviet Kitsch and Samson and Fidelity define Begin to hope. For better or worse, I think The Calculation and Laughing With define Far.

[stephcutie1]

its sound in the end lik she says dont have a girlfriend

[jaxn]

she's probably has a killer backhand by now! reginaaaaaaaa!

[pagekeeper4]

she is a truly amazing person. she just seems so... GOOD. her smile is the most beautiful thing. what a remarkable person.
