Chocolate Jesus Tom Waits

[spibach]

Love your version of this song. I just left you a video response with Tom's "Clap Hands" which I recorded in a bar last night. You've a great voice. Answer your phone.

[DMKleinArts]

Very awesome! I've only met one other lady into Mr. Wait's stuff, you're super-cool by my book.

[Dimasesas]

thank you

[Eyeovultrasoul]

Fucking awesome!!! Yes maam. Great version.

[forwardlymobile]

[shipwreckgirl]

Wait? What? Since when is there such a thing as a good Tom Waits cover? Especially from some random youtube link. What is going on here? This is amazing.

[loggo77]

This is really good except for the phone ringing halfway through. Ruined it for me.

[ruffynest]

[Ryantalope]

Very good indeed!

[Naff83]

Great voice! Have you come across Jolie Holland before? - check her out....you got that sort of feel. Be nice to hear of few of your own if youve got that far. Take it easy.

[elizabethstedman]

[Televizorman]

Слушай, а ты действительно молодец!

[angelswillarise]

[bmaccat1]

Replacing TW's rooster crows with the telephone rings ---- PRICELESS

[NoHandshakes]

Stunning in every way - and I am now just a little but in love with you're guitar

[thSubliminalCriminal]

i like how you sing this. most people can't rock a tom waits tune that i like. his voice is beyond phenomenal and amazing it's beyond words really.

[jts729]

You are beautiful.

[2boddah]

You fucking rock girl!!!!!!!!

[Voileen]

[johnnyscoots]

one of my favorite songs. incredible yet again.

[DestructiveCreation]

Oh this is absolutely wonderful! I'm so happy a fellow gal is covering this song. You did a super job, and that is one super sweet gee-tar!

[avonl3]

Great Job. Awesome cover. Most of the covers of this song are not very good. Loved it.

[TheBeanmartian]

That was Tom Waits on the phone dude... callin to say, wicked!

[nickbarcenas]

[adebicki]

[nickbarcenas]

[carnicerodeperros]

:) it's missing the rooster but the phone made for it. amazing and lovely cover.

[FeedsNoSliesMusic]

Is that the phone going? Funny how you don't answer it, you just carry on.

[Jaramo1]

Using a Dobro like an acoustic guitar?

Haven't tried that yet. <:T

[Cabistani2008]

[Cabistani2008]

Congratulations, your version of this song is very good ... I am Brazilian and I like Tom Waits.

[RobotNinjaShark09]

Nicely done :) 

[squirrelfartz]

Sweet.

[katkal3]

wow! really cool cover, you're a badass.

[TheYahooclub]

Yea nice, use the guitar with pick man!! will be more in keeping with Tom

have a listen to my version on reverbnation/yahooclub

[faz3d1]

Your voice is the antithesis of his. Perfect! I love it! The phones great too... the urban rooster! I have a feeling Tom would approve.

[stevee135]

Great great, captured this song very well

[famile8]

ドブロGuitarが、君にぴったりだよ！いい音だね！Yah man!



[MrDamBrooks]

[seulent]

[Se7enACK]

maybe just a little bit more... :) love this song, thanks for posting! Keep posting more Waits!

[mokueststudios]

Your cover is really awesome! I really like the phone ringing touch lol! Do you have the tabs/chords to this song?

[TheArbiter74]

One of Tom Waits' finest compositions. Great rendition & cool video! If you get a chance, go see the movie "Big Time" with Tom Waits. It's basically a live theatrical performances from a couple of shows he did in Los Angeles & San Francisco in 1987. You've probably seen it already, but just in case you hadn't... :-)

[fatjello72]

wow, I hadn't listened to Jolie Holland for a long time, and didn't really remember this song specifically, but your voice gave it away. awesome.

[TheArsong]

this one is very nice ;-)

[SageVagabond]

Amazing thumbs up!

[crazyfacefacedaddy]

as a lunatic fan of tom waits i should PROBABLY hate this. but hey, i gotta give credit where credit's due, you took a damn good song and put a nice flair of your own on it. probably the best (or, alternatively, only decent) cover of 'chocolate jesus' up on youtube. kudos. :P

[janehcro]

i like ur makeup tori

[jaysengsr]

i was thinking of doing a cover of this one... until i heard this. running the risk of sounding like a creepy internet dude, i must say that everything about you is beautiful.

[elizabethstedman]

@jaysengsr

thank you! you are too sweet, and hey on the internet, everyone is creepy! yay!

[CavaliarEternal]

I love you. Did not expect this to be good at all, but it gives off such a crazy-good feel.

[terdeljleesszeress]

Jesus Christ!!! It war excellent,sorry you are an excellent genius!

kiss and peace <3

[Ken14Z]

Love your voice. There's no way you don't at least know who Cocorosie...

[GoguenRDavid]

[AnnaBaaanana]

[djdansity]

[TravisTricky]

Great job, your spin on performing these lyrics is really unique, I loved it 5*

[markjohnsonnsb]

you are the most awesome singer ever .... like your version better than Tom's ....wait maybe that's him calling!!

[argman59]

Hello Elizabeth, tu as une voix magnifique et tu chantes un excellent morceau!!! J'aime beaucoup ton style!

[neupunk]

[CobHatecrewNor]

Wow damn.. you gave me chills.

Beautiful girl, and a really cool and chill song ;D

[kn1ghtday]

beautiful voice. really like your style, you are very pretty also.

[imsoblind13]

marry me. please?!

[elizabethstedman]

@imsoblind13

lol. if you insist!

[TQ120]

Great version of Tom Waits song, wished that you played with a thumb pick tho' and made that Resonator really ring out .Resonator instead of banjo-type sound,now that would be unique. Yet reason i really rated this video a galaxie of stars and fav'd it was because, and I'm glad that i stayed to the end, the last song ; was the best ! ! Thank You.

What was it ? ? ? ? ?

[dummyguava]

@TQ120 Damned Shame - Jolie Holland

[ZootSuitZombie]

peoria pizza works doesnt look very delicious...

[jay1lees]

sorry didnt mean to ring you while you were playing, il ring back later

xx

[adrianaparejas]

pretty sweet i am soon to cover this song myself....now i have an idea oh how it should be coming from the female side....

[mplok4]

Super ! j'adore !

[justpassnthru]

I hate to say "you sound just like" ...I think that is kinda rude. But after repeated listening to these songs, the following names have popped into my mind:

In "Chocolate Jesus" the first name to come to mind is Katharine Whalen (from Squirrel Nut Zippers) and when you sung "Damn Shame" I had to do my research to make sure it wasn't a Janis Joplin song!

I guess what I'm sayin' is... GREAT JOB!

[DiamondSoul]

WOW.

well done, great cover. Would love to hear your voice on the radio sometime. Sing more blues music, you've got the perfect voice for it!!

[justpassnthru]

You have a really awesome voice! Don't change a thing! Your version of Chocolate Jesus makes me feel good inside :^)

LOL@ the phone...I think it's the neighbors calling to say PLAY LOUDER! :^D

[elizabethstedman]

haha youre too sweet! thanks so much!

[hobobuckettre69]

This being my favorite song I was really weary of hearing another cover but... you definitely have a way of doing it that is very much your own and I liked it.

Nice job.

[elizabethstedman]

aww thanks! that means a lot! i was only goofin around.

[Marylandfarmer]

Very Nice!!!

[heavydecky]

Absolutely Fantastic! Mr Waits would be proud!

[thepeppons]

lovely.....

[rlbella35]

talented

[nejjegvilej]

please move to denmark and marry me ;)

i would love to fall to sleep every night, with that beautyfull voice singing for me...

really great work!

[ginafuxdogz]

TOP JOB!

[embracelessness]

most people butcher this song...you didn't. take that well please. ps,,,,i have the same guitar in black, and it makes me swoon.

p.s - get the phone.

[BabyLeeSims]

Great job, your voice is awesome, and the loose way you play the guitar is great too. The cell ringing while you sing reminds me a bit of the cock in tom wait's chocolate jesus. and somehow it fits in. like tom waits once said, the world makes musik all the time.

i liked it a lot

[benmealer]

You have a really pretty voice. Good job.

[spewgra]

i'm assuming the phone ringing in the background is the only reason there is a missing star in the rating at this point

i thought the phone was a good touch so i gave you a 5. you are really really really really good. (really)

[youjones]

FANTASTIC!

[edithdiangelo]

He elizabeth

he I had the same Idea. Would you like to watch my video. "edith waits for tom".

With love from Germany

Edith Di Angelo

[LicoriceTattoo]

I love the way that sounds on a resonator. Nice chopping.  Your voice is gorgeous too. You sound a lot like Jolie Holland.

[elizabethstedman]

aww thanks!

yeah i get that a lot!

i take that as a huge compliment!

:)

[cerebromagnetico]

Great singing! I love this song and your version of it too! Thanks for posting it.

[Shreeves16]

I've never heard a Tom Waits cover that I liked, until now :) Good Job! 5 stars

Peace

[frankwolftown]

I love You!!!! Marry ME!!!

[evanathsma]

What's the second song? I don't recognize it as a Waits song. Is it your own? It's awesome. You sound great. You'd sound better in a studio. You should make a record.

[jkclevelanddotcom]

Great job!! Keep it up honey. Check out my page if you like.

Cheers

[radio5982]

some dude named Tom Waits totally ripped this song off from you.

<3

[elizabethstedman]

haha i know!!! its like...AT&T trying to get me to switch to them. They call like 5 times a day! Idiots.

[JoeyNavinski]

I hardly ever like Tom covers. You did a great job.

You need to kill whoever was calling!
