Ani DiFranco - "Evolve" no Programa do Jô

[hyndpatrull]

[...] now let's all go to war gets some bang for our buck and I am [...]

[chibi1chi1chi]

plus she always does badass live

[chibi1chi1chi]

Ani is great I remember when I about 11 my sister's friend introduced me to her music. It was the opening to a new world. I had been listening to main stream mostly because it was what I knew. She was one of the first artist to show me there was nothing wrong with how I felt/thought. I found it wasn't a crime to think about/talk about what many want to remain ignorant about. When push came to shove in my life I knew I had a brain and continued to use it though others didn't agree with my ideals.

[TheIkkap]

Ani married a man and has a child

[SwingwenuSwagga]

Dread-locked goddess of music and weird love.

[Snowbuddy27]

Ani's not a lesbian, dummies. Maybe bi, but aren't we all?

[ovicello61]

I used to hear Ani on a college radio station back in the 90's. I like her music. As a self-produced indie artist she's been successful in her own right. An entertainment lawyer that I know says you wouldn't have known it, but she's laughing all the way to the bank.

[ytube1526]

This is the kind of woman that should be HELLA famous! One that can actually perfom onstage. ot some Lady Gaga fake shit. Although I must say... more talent for the ones who know what true talent is :) More for us!

[womby28]

I fucking love this song! But I miss the last verse :(

[jmichaelanthony]

Perfect performance.

[jehovasha]

Listening to her is like hearing the whispered secrets of the Goddess revealing her own story. At least for me. We are ALL evolving each and every one of us. Let us evolve into something better than we are today.

[alicennumberland]

reading all these comments....means two things. noone is evolving fast enough.

[alicennumberland]

@alicennumberland 2? it includes me for even considering reading them.

[MysticMoonGoddess67]

"i've got more and more to do. i've got less and less to prove." - - thank you Ms. Ani DiFranco

[kantal113]

The sound quality on this vid is incredible!

[WasteBasketx]

The only reason so doesnt get the exposure she deserves is because her views are so strong and straight forward that no one will fuck with her. She'd make too much of an impact. SUCHH an amazing woman

[Kestonism]

You are so right, WasteBaskettx. People are deeply afraid of the truth.

[disgruntledanimals]

i agree with patchworkpork. the dreads are sexy.

[patchworkpork]

she is so hot with dreads!! i wish she would let them lock up again

[nirvanamamaduck]

Ani ROCKS but I think it is funny that she, with so much to say, is the guest to a fat white guy.

[Mulwany]

why? is fat the same as ati-freedom... what the fuck?

[nirvanamamaduck]

Sort of, if you look at it right.

I guess I was just trying to say I respect her more and am sure she has more to say that I would want to hear. An assumption, of coarse.

[707RipOtee]

love it!!

[idshifter]

Her voice is more of an instrument then any other vocal I have ever heard. It's more then just basic vox melodies

[arabeea]

Ani is so awesome my face hurts.

[Fierceflawless42]

I second that.

[JustLikeIcarus]

wrong.

[MarilynFilth]

You're right too much going on for your mind, because if you opened it up anymore your "brains" would fall out.

[insomniacsuicide]

lesbian culture???? what does it mean? please stop talking about "lesbian culture" ,"gay culture" or shit like that...i mean...stop the tend to subdivision..we are all human beings, thats all folks

[openheartzoo]

@insomniacsuicide gay culture exists for a reason. subdivision exists because not everyone can be tolerant.

[insomniacsuicide]

@openheartzoo well.. i am bisexual and so tolerant but i love to know i belong human culture... but its my view anyway...

[Tan070]

She's got so much attitude here I love it..

[puremoore]

Only just discovered her sound, awsome and has to be said shes proper hot too.

[dv184300]

funny how Ani isn't a lesbian. Yet she gets all this attention from the lesbian community.

[TheBackLine]

She's openly bi. ;)

[dv184300]

everyone's a little bit bi. I'm more commenting on people saying dumb shit about Lesbians as if Ani represents an entire community of lesbian culture.

[paxpaul]

She's openly bi, but she seems to prefer NO labels at all. This song even fits that--trying to evolve...

What a great performance of another classic Ani song. Thanks!!!!!

[socialist7hippie]

i listened to this with my sis when it came out in album named Not In Our Name n we couldnt stop listening to it and singing to it.

[1andoneis3]

perfect chorus to listen to while trying to ignore the hateful troll comments. I'm trying...

[iknowwitchfu]

I woke up one morning and thought "Hey, I think I'll become a lesbian and have like 8/10 of the world hate me and 1/10 of the world try to kill me...the last 1/10..well that 'us people'....why would we CHOOSE that?..DUH!! And Ani..is just Ani..list to the song "In or Out"...I think that explains it all....

[adepated]

I say if you don't like this, then don't fucking listen to it. If you are commenting negatively on it, especially just to piss others off, then your fucking retarded.

[guitarplayrrr]

i thought it was keller williams playing when i first heard

[666brotherMC]

this song is very keller williams...

[JimiChristopher]

I am a musician a guitarist and a student of music of all kinds from all ages. Before i even start to think about her lyrics, i am convinced ani difranco is a musical genius. Comments like recent negative one's completely bemuse me.

[TheGamer86]

You can get a masters in music, that doesnt make someone write or play good, if you had anything in that head of yours this would click. I fail to see how going to school lets you judge talent. She CANT maintain a constant fast pick speed, just little short bursts consisting of a several notes. He brain pretty much can process that, smoking to much weed with the hippies I guess. And he lyrics are terrible, they lack any real depth. Face it she is horrible. Accept it you'll feel better.

[leebruh]

If she is so horrible, why has she come out with so many albums that continue to be purchased?

[buttcrack96743]

you have no fuckin life you fag. The gamer? haha her lyrics have so much meaning! you couldn't write anything like that if your life depended on it

[mamabeeker]

Dude if you're going to call me a dyke, you need to at least spell it right. Screw off.

[TheGamer86]

Mamabeeker, my sister is a fucking "dyke" its because she is bitter towards guys, why most turn lesbian anyways, its a revenge thing. No what I dont understand is why all you listen to the exact same music, this is the most retarded reason to start listening to certain groups. Never once did she listen to them till she turned gay, no all the sudden ani and bjork are so cool, as well as any other chick with a guitar, you all are fucked in the head.

[mamabeeker]

"why most turn lesbian anyways, its a revenge thing"

Excuse me? You honestly believe that women make a conscious choice to become physically and mentally attracted to other women because of guys? Okay, because that makes perfect logical sense.

Also, your sister doesn't represent the entire queer population. You speak as if you have met every lesbian on the planet and can judge them accordingly.

Maybe she started listening to Ani because she can RELATE to what she's saying in her songs.

[allegrafi]

Ani has more talent in her little fingers than most people have in their whole line of ancestors! Don't criticize unless you can write a better song!

[chelseaarocks]

i rly lik this song

[ladylioness]

***love it***

[adepated]

I like this song, it's great.

It's a good thing Ani's got exactly what woodensaw is lacking.. A life and some talent! As for bragging about education, and resorting to name calling, keep in mind folks that anyone can pretend to be anyone on youtube!

[kgiovacchini]

Ani came before, you ditz. Chill out. Ani's all about love.

[woodensaw]

here's a way you can evolve, Anny, try not singing like a female version of Korn, cuz that just annoys, and maybe learn to play a song that has more than two chords in it.

[yancybutler]

ani came out waaaaayyyy before Korn in 1989...so who sings like who now???

[thesunsettree]

woodensaw, hows it feel to be a fuckwit, i mean cos u clearly r a fuckwit. does being a fuckwit gain u any favours, nice one.... fuckwit

[kralovnamajales]

Now I tend to avoid internet arguments because of the extreme amount of immaturity beautifully demonstrated here, but I just have to call you on you elitist bullshit. Ooh master's degree, well aren't you better than any of us. If you insist on fighting by calling someone out on their grammar at least name-drop Freud in the proper context, the use here is irrelevant. Also, phalanx? The ancient Roman military formation? If you had ever read Freud I'm sure you'd know what a "phallus" is.

[reksub10]

well mabye if you stopped trying to be an arse you would relise that for all your education you still dont know what a phallus is did your dictionary fail you..does punctuation and grammer really matter on a 5 hundred charecter comment box

[passionategymnast]

ah, so good! ani is so incredible

[Lination]

her guitar playing in impressive. I can't believe she can sing like that and play at the same time.

[emptybland]

she is a new discovery for me... I am lovin' her at the moment!

[winonalover]

ANI SO ROCKS. one of my fave songs from her.

[setbro72]

Hey! She didn't play the last verse!! That has my fav line in it, "It took me too long to realize why I don't take good pictures/cause I have the type of beauty that-moves.."

[orsetto81utube]

he's probably just angry, I won't let him worry me, she is great!

[waverflave]

I rarely comment on here but I keep seeing this dr. weird commenting on every ani video... mean comments. For someone to be so against ani, they sure do watch a lot of ani videos... A closet ani lover?

[fr3d420]

awesome song! I love this!

[johnnyfontaine]

"now, let's get talkin' reefer madness

like some arrogant government can't

by any stretch of the imagine outlaw a plant..."

this was hands down the best song off of evolve. hence it being the title track, i reckon.

[Darkstar1138]

mm.....Oooo yes

[threearrowstriL]

love Ani... how come tons of people watch her videos but only a few leave a comment? Anyway, i gotta say i think i like the other version of this song better.

[mrtee9]

That's funny about that drweird guy. I've seen him criticize three ani difranco videos. Obviously you like her man. If you've seen her in concert and are going around watching her videos on youtube, you like her. You shouldn't be embarassed or care what other people like.

[TelperionMoon]

love this song.. and i'm a guy :) a straight guy at that hehehe

[drwierd]

i can't believe girls fall for this crap....

well maybe I do

[whizkid000]

Only women love Ani? Says who?

[evelusive]

I really thing Ani would love the fact that she provokes such a reaction from you, every time..... Oh, and as everyones experience is purely subjuctive, everyone "falls for crap" of some kind or another, just a fact of life. Perhaps you need to find your own identity, and stop slagging off people who are just trying to find their own.

[drwierd]

I wish I could knock out one of her teeth and put it on a necklace....

that would be classic

[Storrms]

You're such a dick. Really, get a life.

[Storrms]

I love her. She's great.

[evelusive]

kiss kiss darling... Just what are you compensating for little boy?

[tarnacious]

how about i remove your tiny balls and use them for windchimes?

[InsomniacDirectory]

Need a shoulder to cry on?

[thistlefysh]

evolve much? obviously not...

[drwierd]

I only evolve when maynard tells me too

[thistlefysh]

(heeheehee) that's really cute and funny. I'm sure Maynard would want you to evolve with Ani. Seriously, I'm sure they'd have quite a time together... Maynard is highly evolved and also an incredible musician... I also agree with mrtee9 that you like her. It's ok man. Maynard likes her too.

[drwierd]

nope

[thistlefysh]

nope what?

[drwierd]

nope

[vtg401009]

ignorant fuck.

[katygfmu]

bjork is just a corporate puppet. ani questions authority and before authority can even think of spewing some bs back, ani nails them up like they're the world's most famous crucified by romans. get it girl

[mpshea25]

Ani has really gotten better over the years. As far as female artists go, I like Bjork way better, but I think Ani has to be no.2 in that category. Fantastic performance.

[Rachelh8055]

She is so beautiful.

[thistlefysh]

I don't think you can really compare bjork to ani. They are going for two separate things... (and bjork is NOT corporate, btw.... not by a long shot. Ani just states it every second that she's not corporate- that's her gig. Bjork is in a different territory all together...

[musicebf]

unFUCKINGbelievable!!

[banda3steps]

She is so great!! cheers from brazil!

[mark1800]

hahaha, what an awesome fucking show to perform on. they do talk shows so much better than in the states... awesome performance, great sound, lovely version of this one... did she skip a verse though...? the one about going to war to get bang for our buck?

[moustachke]

No she didn't -- it's right there at about 1 minute 20! Is she scatting / rapping 2 fast 4u? ;)

[jacobwolkenhauer]

She did forget the verse "I walk like I'm on a mission..." at the end. Notice her goofy look at the end like she knows it's not really supposed to end there, but it's going to anyways. Classic.

[manuhribas]

I LOVE THIS!

[galadriel6969]

OH MAN! WHat a treat. Just Ani + Guitar...now THAT's evolution. Nothing better than the dashing duo all alone. delish. thanks for posting this.

[Sequoya]

This is a great video with good sound. I like the Album covers in the back ground. It's pretty cool that they couldn't get through them all before she was done singing.
