Regina Spektor - Human of the Year

[FriendlySpiderFriend]

@FavorOrox I'm happy for her! I always knew they'd make a great married couple.. i just wish there were pictures :,(

[FriendlySpiderFriend]

Is it true Regina got married to Jack Dishel on December 18th of 2011??!!?? cuz thats what i heard!! someone please tell me if its true!

[FavorOrox]

@FriendlySpiderFriend

That's what I heard too and far as I know it's true

[FelipeAdriano2006]

1:06 is my favorite part here. the whole performance is absolutely beautiful!

my mum was listening to her latest album, i didn't know her before, but i felt in love and just can't stop listening... thanks mum for great taste in music! (and thank you, regina, of course! :))

[Javiology]

Sounds exactly like the album version!

[TheHeroineOfTime]

Every time I play Regina Spektor my mom calls her a "ninny" and tells me to turn it off. I think my mom's jealous of Regina's raw talent.

[FriendlySpiderFriend]

The first 20sec of the song was my favorite part... you know why? cuz Regina's eyes were open and they are sooooo beautiful! i love her sooo much!!!!

[daniissolol]

i had a dream about her last night. she was singing this and i was the only one in the audience. she came up and talked to me afterwards. i woke up in tears. THAT's how much i love Regina Spektor -3

[ifernandez327]

Don't worry about that memory card. This is probably the best live performance I have found on her. Usually the audio in most of the live performances people tape and post are okay but this....she sounds so clear and flawless. I have sent it to all my friends and they are always so in awe after listening to it.

[SemperEadem8]

Beautiful, wonderful... can't find appropiate words.

[dgrant625]

awww darn - I was looking forward to the very last bit :(

[songersogner]

So wonderful live.

[vivianmari]

1:57 and out is so good

[elliecoffey]

Goosebumps!!

[Sonomichan]

This song is amazing - and her live performances are superb as ever.

...But I have to admit it's the first time I notice how sexy is the way her lips brush the microphone as she sings.

My.

She's beautiful.

[SpNolove]

She has an amazing voice!

[Lilith298]

If the world was ending and I only had 3 minutes to live, I would spend them listening to this song.

[rian009]

her live performances are like the studio ones!

[TheGirlinAmask98]

arggghh!! thanks, but i was counting off those last few seconds 'till it ended like a time-bomb about to go off.

[Multi01Mileyfan]

I love watching this video because just the way she looks when she sings it is so cool. I am sure that half these views are from me.

[ThinkTink606432]

I am sorry about your cam, but thanks for the vid. It's nice to see her live even if it isn't complete.

[doulikeamericanmusic]

holy shit shes so beautiful

[Lauraaah91]

WOOOOOOW!!

[inu099]

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH cut off at the best part

lol but she looks beautiful in the vid :3

[That70sShowgurl88]

This is amazing arrghbehrkgznr so beautiful

[heytheregicab]

great video!

[heytheregicab]

i dont want to die. before i must experience something like this. please? GOD?

[bluefuzzyelf]

Tops album version by a 999 times. It'd be 1000 times if it were the whole song :(

it's okay because I have audio of this song from this performance; just not the video.

[tueslabelledujour]

this is brilliant

[ak123456p]

I think she's trying to say there is no award for being a good person... Either way I freaking love this woman, so much.

[erikaleanne25]

i dont understand what the song is about

[morsa575]

@punchdrunkpoet Wow, I was wondering why she looked a little puffy. That's seriously impressive, to be performing when you're just starting the recovery process. She is a marvel.

[Submurger]

Wow!!! Never heard anyone sing more emotinally! She`s beautiful. 

[simonesmiths]

Man, i love this song... she so beautiful.

[4GreaN2PsykO0]

Regina is so good because she embodies everything that a real music artist is. She understands what a real song is about, Its not about how many people enjoy it, but that a song is a byproduct of living on this planet, not simply a form of aesthetic entertainment.

[MrsFooFoo]

This is a great video!! Very clear, you did good to get this!!!! Thanks for sharing :-)

[lukecarrillo]

i want to know what she is thinking; what goes on in her mind. She is so wonderful!

[PlanetaryXVagabond]

Her voice is like a nightlight for my pitch dark life.

[footballinx36x]

That voice is so brilliant. Her songs and the power behind them. She is just overflowing with talent and beauty.

[ImWithTheScenery]

Regina Spektor is a freak of nature in the most beautiful, phenomenal, and miraculous way possible.

[Someoneodd11]

this is by far the best singing I've heard from her, and I didn't think she could get any better

[puddl3zzy0]

damn,,, she is just fucking amazing I love her songs so much.

[DSgamrz585]

aaaahhhh! She's so awesome! She's so perfect and awesome!

[hay21ley]

Not very often do you hear an artist that sounds as good, or better live than they do in a recording studio. Regina Spektor is a FANOMINAL artist.

[jaxn]

the icons are whispering to you

[pupl0vr]

wow.. this is flawless!

[warof1987]

This song is one of my favorites by Regina, and this performance just put me over the top.

[bullet323232]

better than the album version

[HermioneWeasley01]

Wait... I just realised... she's a normal human being... like me... =\

Now that's an eerie thought. xD

[AnthonyMinsky]

@HermioneWeasley01 Of course your right, but it doesn't seem possible. The more I watch this video the more I'm not so sure. :) Why am I crying? I'm crying right now and I don't know why. This woman or human being or alien or whatever she is, moves me to the core. And I can't even explain why. Her songs can be so strange and kooky, and a lot of times her words don't even make sense. But she kills me. She has some sort of magic that can't be explained.

[metaphysicpianist]

Ugh... chills across my entire body. This is my favorite song of all time. Thank you for this video!

[azzer411]

even though i've never heard this song before, for some reason it feels like i know it so well. GO REGINA!!

[benfrenzy]

Stink! It cut off like 2 seconds too early!!

This is really an awesome performance...as good as the album version. I wasn't sure the last part would work without the strings, but she pulled it off!!!

[almostspotless53]

@benfrenzy Haha, Human of the Year has been amazing without strings long before the album version. ;)

[1MusicConnoisseur]

My favorite right behind natalie Merchant!

[Lilacuno]

Damn, her voice is so beautiful! Someone else said it and I'll say it too, there are no adjectives that are good enough to describe her.

[briannejoy92]

this is better live than it is on the CD, thanks for posting!

[LadyMarjorieLauren]

To Assaf and Einav! =)

[onthewalkoffame]

She's just amazing.

Didn't think I liked her new album as much until I heard this song. Tried singing it once and although I've been told I'm a good singer... No way haha. So hard to sing but she does it effortlessly.

[kryptoncolomo]

I have this video on my ipod and i don't get tired of watching it. Can you believe she sent me 4 autographed photos to my house? lol I was very shocked when I received them, she's so nice. I gave her a portrait at a concert and she was kind enough to sign 4 photos of my drawing.

[4GreaN2PsykO0]

shee oozes pure soul

[Appelsappel]

Album version on my channel ;) great song

[dogandpony]

@Appelsappel

Album version is also on album. Which is why I'm taking down your video response.

[Appelsappel]

@dogandpony, sure :)

It's just that people love regina's songs, and some just like to hear it on youtube too, which is why I put the song up.

[MovieMusicEnthusiast]

my favorite live video of regina spektor, ever. it seriously brings tears to my eyes every time i watch it, it's that beautiful. this is saying something, considering the end was unfortunately cut off.

[djcomposer]

thanks for posting this. this is one of the most awe inspiring performances of regina that I've seen

[petrolhead]

'Human of the Year' never fails to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand. They should create the award just for her.

[saatana93]

i just accidentally got to listening her songs and i have to admit....that is some fucking awesome live performance right there....and that voice is.........unlike any other

[SeleneStarveling]

@saatana93 and some fucking awesome recording quality too

[brandfarligX]

she's really great. going to see her in december in stockholm! :D:D:D:D:D:D

[caseydavid2]

One of my favorites. Awesome video. Great quality.

[HappyChicas]

I LOVE regina spektor! I went to her concert recentley and it was sooooo GOOD!!! She is an amazing singer and has a beautiful voice! I love all of her songs a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[julvo]

mi amooooooorrrrrr sos hermosa♥♥♥

[Qabrysia]

Amazing voice!!! I love her! <3

[WithLove44]

This has inspired me to cover it! Beautiful!

[sarahbiruel]

OMG! Regina can sing anything, provided it is good music. Great voice. Great letter. Great song.

[SoPomponette]

Elle est juste sublime.

[Jmpovrthemoon]

This video is AWESOME! Well done!

[bonifacyja]

The same thing with me :). This fan-made vid is one of the most eye-catching videos of Regina. Hats off. I'm speechless she's so adorable

[bonifacyja]

He certainly does. As for Human of the year close-up, it's even more fascinating to watch it inasmuch as in the very first seconds her face seems to be an asian mask, sort of impersonal portrait of a woman singing;). The make-up she wears did the job, and added to the lyrics - impersonal situation of the ceremony - the final effect is breathtaking. I keep asking myself - who is this woman? :))

[dogandpony]

thanks a lot, both of you. but i'm a señorita! a flattered señorita, nonetheless, but a señorita.

[catpower73]

Don't worry about the length of this vid, dogandpony. Quality is outstanding and you got the best part: the bridge 1:58 - end.

[just0bubu]

this is awesome

[TomDemian]

I like this! The cd version is beautiful, but less then live version...

[bluefuzzyelf]

It's just missing the acoustics that are cathedral-like.

Don't get all hostile, guys. I'm just a choir boy and to me this song feels like it needs to sound live. At least put some echo into the studio recording or something, is what I'm saying.

-_-;; I don't hate regina spektor. I have tickets to her show next month

[philaphobic]

u have a nice camera...

[cloud1938]

I honestly have no idea how she hits the perfect notes every single time. Its mind boggling.

[adjanc]

The best sound and picture quality of a live performance ever. I almost thought I was there; I commend you! The thing about Regina...You see her live, and you are a fan for life!!!

[adjanc]

why can't i post?

[Rockinred622]

this is live? This is amazing

[moneyquickeasy]

This woman puts me into ecstasy.

[moneyquickeasy]

I think your interpertaion sucks.

[dmsteller]

I don't know how she does it. In my opinion she tops so many major artists out there. All they do is use computers to make their music and alter their voice. Regina makes legit. music.

[Astrapsody]

@dmsteller Now that I think about it, that pisses me off. She worked hard and actually has talent, and all they have to do is alter their voice; which doesn't even sound good, but sells like crazy for some twisted reason.

[one233]

she is so beautiful.... even when we're right in her face.....she's magnificent.

wonderful video

[DJOPITZ]

yeah she is so pretty,...love this song

[ExaggeratedCool]

*swoons*

[NeshergermAnja]

i lkie the way it says Regina on the microphone... cute :)

[74bamboocha63]

my favourite song on 'far'!!! she is perfect in dis clip!

[xxRebelxxFitz]

Gaaaah I got a reply from her on Twitter! My life is now almost complete :-) What a genius! <3 RS

[emelilla]

she is genius =) but I'm sorry to tell you that regina doesn't have a twitter profile? she said that the only site she's on is myspace.

[pianogeeky]

Ya well....that interview was ages ago, and the account is pretty new, and it say on her site she has Facebook too, so who's to say it isn't really her on Twitter?!

[brisinger2]

What?! LUCKY!!

[chelseadelgadillo]

this is my favorite youtube video of all time. i've watched it too many times to count.

:)

[pretTilittlepoison]

Thank you for recording such a beautiful performance!!! I love this song's version... so ethereal.

[0rangekat]

so gorgeous

[krissypoopooable]

oh my god, regina gives me chills everytime. and oh so cute..phew

[04jhowarth]

She seems a million miles away in this performance. I love it.

[04jhowarth]

She has her name on her Mic. CUUTTEE!! xD

[ginadoll66]

is karl projectorinski an actual person, or did regina make him up?

great song anyway

[omfgroflolmfao]

probably imaginary the nakme just sounds good in the song

[Bemabond]

honestly lol what's different in the album version? Is it just me? I mean it sounds almost the same.

[bluefuzzyelf]

this has been my favorite song of her for a long while. it's a shame the album version is, what i feel, "overproduced."

[RJLupin6]

How can you call the album version overproduced?! There is like no production on it at all!

[moneyquickeasy]

You're stupid. the album version rocks. In reality, it's not much different then this. Or do you think every single song should just have piano, voice, completely dry, and that's it...?

[Skebberz]

she has such a fabulous voice. love her so much! its brilliant to see someone who can actually sing :D

[saucydave]

absolutely incredible!

[ExCxFxUx33]

I wish i had listened to this before the album came out. I feel like it has been a waste of time.

[iheartrubberbands]

I agree =/

[Heynowrcp]

she is stunning! i love her so! :)

[RESPEKTHP]

that was the best thing i've ever seen

[vsantana2]

simply brilliant!

[lightheworldonfire]

So much better than the album version..

[elessar2k49]

there are no words. if you are a true fan,then you know how i feel.

[cisco1225]

Simply the purest artist of our time.(my opinion of course) I adore this woman. I've seen her live and I'm gonna see her live again in september :-) The main melody of this song sounds like a little riff in the Movie "The Science of Sleep." Anyone else know what I'm talkin about?? lol.

[Bemabond]

on the 12th!? in chicago?! say yes!! because I will SO see you there.

[cisco1225]

Yep. I'm going to the Chicago show on the 12th. I'm from Michigan but its only a three hour drive to Chicago. Plus its on a saturday so it works out. I drove to Chicago to see Yann Tiersen a couple months ago. lol.

[redjeansonyourlegs]

Whaaaaa this is SO AMAZING!

[Dougienesses]

this album is incredible...

[Takarafire]

Heh, Regina overall is incredible.

[Nikkicolor]

true

[ginkafan]

I love her to death. I finally signed up for an account here just so I could say that much. She's the human of my lifetime, don't care how cheesy that sounds. God bless her and all she loves. And this is one of the most beautiful videos. She's so soulful and I know she'll rock on for ages to come. I'm excited about her "Sword and Pen" and "Machine" songs. From the preview video, I can tell they've got a great Russian rhythm going...don't know how else to explain it, running out of characters...

[HumanOFtheWeek3000]

wow this is some weird stuff here, what genre does she sing?

[GUINEAMERIO]

anti-folk but its her own category: ReSpekt;)

[ApproximatelyJane]

She gets weirder! In a thoroughly awesome way, though.

[ApproximatelyJane]

God, I wonder what it's like to be her. Can she possibly know how much more beautiful she makes life for the rest of us?

[reginaholic]

This will always be my favorite video of Regina :)

I would give my left foot to hear just 10 more seconds though....

[RaiMidori]

Absolutely gorgeous. She looks so pensive and sad in this video! Thanks for capturing this!

[pinkfedora91]

yay this song is going to be on her next album!!!!!!! one of my favorites!

[STHanson08]

I know!!! I cant WAIT to see what she does with it!!

[SaraLowisa]

Wonderful!

[headphones0n]

love it !!!

=D

[g1org1o]

OMG! LOOOOVE IT! *-*

[bitchtits369]

i love regina..

shouldve gone for longer tho..

[Patedra]

i hate that it ends at the not-end of the song. it should last till the last beautifull sound that comes out of her redlipstickmouth.

[aaroplane1]

youarecreepy

[xKissKrisx]

Great video quality. One of my favourite Regina songs. Can't wait for "Far".

[zzscotty]

Great news. This song is on her new album "Far" due out 6/23/09.

[heystaish]

People do get it, but mainstream music is never going to appreciate someone like her. Bjork and Tori are 'weird' to pop culture and The Beatles and Pink Floyd have been glorified to absurd levels. Regina`s music video for Fidelity however has over 10 million views and she is growing in popularity. Pretty much everyone who can get used to her big hair and unique voice fall in love with her :) Yeah, Regina makes me feel better about the future of humanity, I adore her more than i knew i could.

[DarkSunshineRain]

I think Grammy's are bullshit. Regina is better than that. She doesn't need a Grammy to be the greatest thing that ever happened to music since punk. Grammy's are bought by those douches anyway.

[DarkSunshineRain]

I actually think that she shouldn't get media attention too much. I feel like they will ruin her if they ever were to make her mainstream. Like that water from Fiji that is pure because it doesn't have any type of polluntants near it that can damage it. The media can totally damage someone. I am afraid they wont get her an stifle her creativity. She deserves ever good thing coming her way, though.

[Thestralsxxx]

Regina SPektor was just compared to Fiji water. But I agree with those comments. Those aren't a measure of talent. Rather, a measure of popularity. BTW, I like Fiji water.!

[zzscotty]

Shockingly beautiful.

[lexylou007]

wow.

simply..she is incredible.

great video.

[doodlebug27]

i can't believe i've found a song of regina's that i love even more than all of her others! :D

[DaggyLil]

Oh my gosh!!! I loooove this song and I've not even finished listening to it! It's not Regina's usual style, but it is FANTASICALLY, SUPERIFICALLY, AWESOME!

[2qewl4u]

This is a great song :))

[lightheworldonfire]

Best live recording of Regina. Ever.

[makeartnotwarxo]

does anyone know if you can purchase this anywhere on itunes?

[azahz]

very good audio/video quality.congratulation.

[vegangirlx1]

Regina looks so incredibly stunning in this video.

Thank you for the great filming dogandpony!!

[veggiexc]

i love regina!
