I love Vanessa Amorosi ...shes one of the great Aussie talents and very underrated and she's close to my favorite girl Australian singer. I just don't think she needs to imitate other artists. she should do her own thing which ...which is gravelly blues blues based music...I also like janis Joplin ...but i don't think Vanessa should go down that path...I recon she'd may feel the same if she looked dback on that performance.
@pepsign007 I am from New York, in the U.S and I heard ths a year ago, and I was knocked out! Ever time I hear Vanessa, I am floored by her magnificient voice! This woman is incredible and when I read she was Austrailia, I wanted to shout: PLEASE FLY her to the U.S. She can SANG! She can hit notes that I never even heard of! She is amazing. Austrailia is so blessed to have this vocalist! Janis and Erma Franklin, the original vocalist of this song would love her version of this song! AWESOME!

If you missed Janis herself, this is almost as good as being there, --minus the overwrought arrangement and certain band members rushing her along as if she were completely indifferent to the original time signature. Great costuming.
holy shit - the 1st time i heard that girl sing, it was good, old fashioned rock & I loved her voice. the Sydney Olympics music put me right off her, but to take a janis joplin song & manage to give me goosebumps ... the girl's got talent for sure.
still not as good as janis, but dude, major props for me not wanting to kick u in the face, u at least gave it an effort, take pink for example, she butchered it with her pop technicalities, I hear u actually trying, THANKS
@hessounusual95 Did you see her cover of Helen Reddy`s "I am woman" live at an Australian awards show the Aria`s? Also vanessa`s version of You make me feel like a natural woman? They are amazing too. have a look if you have not and tell me what you think? Cheers Canwadma
Vanessa has been around since she was about 15. As for the comment further down below, NO, her voice won`t give out. Vanessa is a world class talent and her range is just purely amazing.
@TheBeck1975 I love this woman! She has an amazing voice which shatters glass! In the United States we have no one like this at all! Please my sisters and brothers from down under, send her to us! She can SING HER ASS OFF and her band is also incredible! Janis would love her!
Like I have stated previously, this woman rocks!! She is one bad ass woman from down under! The U.S. needs her bad! She is amazing! I love her! I wonder if Robert Plant ever heard of her because she reminds me of him! She has a powerhouse voice just like he has! She sings rock, soul, pop, ballads..anything really!
@RK807 That is your opinion, good for you. I respect your opinion. How about showing some courtesy for those that appreciate Erma's version enough to cover it.
@MyRecordingTV Would be great in a band, I don't particularly like her 'pop' music. When she sings rock, everybody ROCKS. Heard her do a couple of Led Zeppelin numbers, I know Robert Plant would be impressed, Jimmy page would even have to acknowledge her guitar playing (not up to his standard, but better than a lot of others)
I love her singing real rock and roll songs she is awesome . most powerful aussie singer ( female ) probably best in the world at this song does an octave higher than janis joplin and nails it . is a gift from God I agree
Love Vanessa!! When I found out she was from Austrailia I had to say how blessed they are to have this lady because she could show some of our singers in the U.S who this is sung for real! Her gift is definitely from God. She can hit notes I have never heard of before! Vaness, come to the U.S we need you! She is amazing!
If you are not an Aussie and want to see Vanessa doing her own stuff here is a live performance of her last Australian hit that went straight to number 1, first week in the charts.
As a cover I think this is good but I still think Crystal Bowersox's cover is the best I have ever heard. Not the AI one but the Village Idiot one and now there is a partial recording of an even better performance at the KFOG concert in SF on 12/7/10. Check them out.
@Heriiiiii I think that Vanessa was just doing a cover of the studio recording. Melissa version was more like the live recordings that Janis was famous for.
I can assure that if Vanessa did a similar version it would blow you away.
melissa has much better control, feeling and the best character i ever heard with this song!vanessa does it very very goooodddd but melissa still owns her... sry for you vanessa fans...
just listen to the voice itself, not the backings....
@Heriiiiii i must respectfully disagree. melissa doesn't have the raw edge that this song requires . melissa can't or rarely sings out of one octave and theres no bounds to vanessa's vocial range. vanessa is far and away the better singer !!
I would say not too bad for a singer that is virtually unknown outside of Australia.
And remember this is a live recording. Check out the live recording from Janis herself, and then tell me that Vanessa is not one of the best female singers on the planet.
Love the little wind up and knee kick at the end, she obviously enjoyed this performance.
I recently saw Vanessa perform live at the Werribee Mansion (Melbourne, Australia) and she blew everyone away. I even stood in line to get an autograph which I have never done before..... Not even for an international band/vocalist..NOBODY. Simply because she has such a mature and Powerful instrument infused with a raw emotion that is incomparable. SHE IS THE BEST PERFORMER TO COME OUT OF AUSTRALIA!
This is a GREAT song. sung by many who do it justice. Vanessa is OUT 'cn STANDING. Has anyone ever hit such high notes wiith such POWER? Not sure if this is the best version but sure is MY favourite. Suggest the original by Erma Franklin was sung the way it was written, just listen to some of the notes she hits.
Janis would be impressed & proud, she would beabsolutely gob smacked with the note Vanessa hits at the end. 'cn Brilliant, 'cn Awesome. Now my favourite version of one of my favourite songs. And by the way Janis would have been about my age now. By the way I hope the 18 are infertile, don't want them breeding more of the same.
@JillSHeaton Yeah you are right she doesn't connect with the song until 2:40 .But would you rather hear Vanessa sing this song or hear Melissa Etheridge scream it?
Vanessa connects better with her own music but she does like too sing this Janis song simply because she loves Janis
I am just knocked out by this woman! She is incredible! I hear she is from Astrailia? She needs to come to the United States so she can show some of our so called singers how to blow for real! She is so talented and can sing her ass off!
@debgirl12000 yes she is from Australia - you should see her live in concert 100% effort from start to finish she could sing the socks off any other singer
@debgirl12000 i agree with you . if janis would give only one person premission to sing this song it would be vanessa amorosi . no tallent's like britney , ashley simpson jessica simpson would be distroyed by this voice !!!
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! What Happened to her other video of ...Piece of My Heart? She had two. I had it saved on my play list and now it is gone from there and here on the selection list. I liked the other one better. Anyone know how or where I can get it?

I'm a bit prejudice cause I'm Aussie and have followed V's career....but this is fucking fantastic! You guys have compared her to Christina (very good) and Pink (Try Hard) but you have forgotten to mention Crystal Bowersox. Hard to pick who is most authentic!!!!???
Before the goosebumps after "Never..never...never...never" had even subsided, Vanessa launches those notes higher than the dome of the Sistine fricken Chapel, then drops 'em lower than the serpent's belly in the devil's own basement & Janice raises her drink & smiles. I'm gonna have a cigarette now
@phoenixrisen1970 I was about to post my thoughts, but you have said it so much better than I ever could. As an aside I love & prefer to see and hear her live she really gets the crowd going.
@phoenixrisen1970 >I discovered Vanessa a few months ago. I was knocked out by her voice. I am from the U.S in NYC and I look at some of the fake ass no talents here and I listen to Vanessa from down under and she could show some of these fools how to sing for real! I think of the greats when I hear Vanessa! Janis, Ella F. Sarah V etc, Vanessa can sing anything in any style. Her voice shatters glass! I want to thank all of those from down under who wrote to me about this incredible woman!
This girl is indeed fantastic and has a huge future. That being said anyone who puts this in the same class as Janis is out to their mind. Janis is by far head and tales above anyone mentioned, Christina will wish 40 years after her death that her legend is as big as Miss Joplin, Pink is not even at the same level as a singer and Whitney was mentioned, oh please she cannot even give a live concert performance anymore. Janis is a legend and one of the greatest female vocalist of all time.
For God's sake, this girl is incredible at singing.I seriously think she's WAY BETTER than Whitney, and above all considering she's a white-skinned girl with such an incredible black voice.Whitney could never ever reach such notes as Vanessa does with total naturality and easyness.Vanessa you're really amazing, and after Christina Aguilera you're within the list of best female voices of the whole world.You should join Christina, by the way, to make a duet, it'd be FANTASTIC!.
vanessa has a far greater vocal ability than christina. But range isn't everything, I enjoy christina's tone more. Vanessa has a sharp cutting voice and sometimes it kinda hurts which is also why I don't like the direction she takes sometimes. It's sometimes feels like she just adds her wow factor without considering how it effects the overall feeling of the song. However, by vocal ability alone I think she's the best female singer I've heard
Where in the hell have they been hiding this woman? She is magnificient!!! What country is she from?? I know she is not from the United States because we would have heard from her by now!! She is incredible! She has passion, spunk, spirit, and such energy! Her voice is slammin!
@Animalsangel888 >>>Thanks a lot my Aussie sister from so far away! I am from New York and I am just knocked out by this woman from your neighborhood! You knew her when and what a talent she is! She is so exciting, and what a voice! She can hit the highest range and hit the lowest range that I have ever heard! She is incredible!! I love this woman and I want to know if she records over there in Austrailia! She is amazing! Thanks for responding!
why this woman isnt internationally known like celine is beyond me, loved her since i first saw her on tv at sydney olympics, best voice ive eva heard by far xxx
at 2:45 the chipmunks entered the stage :) just joking, love her so much. in my opinion she's the best singer ever that can sing everything. her voice is unbeatable! Thanks to her parents who teached her
I just heard of this singer and she is amazing!! What a voice!! I have heard so many versions of this and I love this from this vocalist, and Mary J. Blige sings the hell out of this song also!! Check out her version on here also! Janis would love this sister here! She is incredible!!!
@sippysq I definitely will check out her and Mary together. They both sing this song and it is slammin! She has such energy and passion! What country is she from??? I have to find out!! She needs to be recording. She would be big in the USA believe me!!
muy buena voz, pero una pesima imitacion de janis... Se me hace una falta de respeto lo que hizo al vestirse y al tratar de interpretar la cancion como Janis... no lo logro..

@phoenixrisen1970 I was about to post my thoughts, but you have said it so much better than I ever could. As an aside I love & prefer to see and hear her live she really gets the crowd going.

@phoenixrisen1970 >I discovered Vanessa a few months ago. I was knocked out by her voice. I am from the U.S in NYC and I look at some of the fake ass no talents here and I listen to Vanessa from down under and she could show some of these fools how to sing for real! I think of the greats when I hear Vanessa! Janis, Ella F. Sarah V etc, Vanessa can sing anything in any style. Her voice shatters glass! I want to thank all of those from down under who wrote to me about this incredible woman!

This girl is indeed fantastic and has a huge future. That being said anyone who puts this in the same class as Janis is out to their mind. Janis is by far head and tales above anyone mentioned, Christina will wish 40 years after her death that her legend is as big as Miss Joplin, Pink is not even at the same level as a singer and Whitney was mentioned, oh please she cannot even give a live concert performance anymore. Janis is a legend and one of the greatest female vocalist of all time.

For God's sake, this girl is incredible at singing.I seriously think she's WAY BETTER than Whitney, and above all considering she's a white-skinned girl with such an incredible black voice.Whitney could never ever reach such notes as Vanessa does with total naturality and easyness.Vanessa you're really amazing, and after Christina Aguilera you're within the list of best female voices of the whole world.You should join Christina, by the way, to make a duet, it'd be FANTASTIC!.

vanessa has a far greater vocal ability than christina. But range isn't everything, I enjoy christina's tone more. Vanessa has a sharp cutting voice and sometimes it kinda hurts which is also why I don't like the direction she takes sometimes. It's sometimes feels like she just adds her wow factor without considering how it effects the overall feeling of the song. However, by vocal ability alone I think she's the best female singer I've heard
