Tori Amos "Baker Baker" (1994)

[jjburnt]

I love her piano style - it's so lose and open unlike Kate bush, ( another great female artist), who uses much more in the way of block chords - Baker Baker is an exceptional song, the piano complements the vocal perfectly - the song is both poignant and heartfelt !

[HermioneGranger786]

Wow, She's really talented and good (:

[sarcee1960]

Okay, that is some weird spiderweb dress.

[sTapleEVA]

been browsing for hours, so far i only like her covers(enjoy the scilence, smells like teen spirit, lovesong), d a few of her songs: silent all these years, Cruicify, Sugar(live HRL), Me and a gun, and muhammed my friend. All of these being strictly the live versions. Any other good ones?

[TheQueenKane]

@sTapleEVA I'd say all are good ones but my favorites : Blood Roses, Winter, Precious Things, Pretty Good Year, Cloud on my Tongue, Cooling, Strange Little Girl (a cover), Jackie's Strength, Caught a Light Sneeze... well maybe I should stop there !!

[sTapleEVA]

@TheQueenKane just discovered precious things a week ago, a live preformance. i have to say it is the best preformance i have ever heard of her, can't believe i passed it by! also, horses, iceicle(my #2), hey jupiter, winter, yes anastasia (3rd) as new favorites, blowing the old ones away! this woman is slowly becomeing my favorite artist of all time, and i really relate to some of her lyrics regarding homophobia, will check out those songs you mentioned for sure, but i would rather them be live

[TheQueenKane]

@sTapleEVA happy to read that ! I could have completely ignored Tori's talent a few years ago, I needed to listen to her songs more carefully, her lyrics are always interesting. She truely is a genius and now I'm studying her work for my academic paper this year at University. Sure, her live performances are often better thant studio versions. You should try "To Venus and Back", two discs, the second one with only live versions of her songs.

[Knana18]

you have seen what happens under pressure of management,by far she was the hottest chick in this episode.make friends with time,accept what you Kant change, naturally.

[iankyoko]

@FarewellBlackSwan I would have thought Tori Amos was the last woman who would get botox and face-lift and all that shit done to her. I still can't believe. Is it really true?

I saw an interview with her recently and she was approaching ghastly.

[tallmaui]

She is incredible!! And incredibly georgeous!!

[glitterdust40]

Under the Pink is an important album Tori created for females. Dealing with concepts of relationships not only with each other, but our relationships to men, our place in history and religion. Certain songs on UTP deal with our experiences on a basic level, with sisters, friends, boyfriends but it also delves into the deeper concepts of the exclusion of female energy in institutionalized religions & history. It's brilliant - 100+ years later will be a classic. Tori has made friends with time!

[marpie1171]

I saw this live. Never forgot it. Truly amazing...

[imbra]

I remember downloading this in the form of a 20MB .MOV file on a modem around 1998. It took hours.

Ahhh, the good ol' days :)

[truepisces86]

I love her facial expressions. They're so sexy haha

[wastnTIMEwastnTIME]

Tori and her Bosy, the perfect match :-D

[gomo200]

Tori Amos is the most attractive person and not just because of her stunning looks...

[nobodysalice]

breaking hearts at 2:24

Dear, dear Tori

[josie421]

One of the best and most emotional performances of this song I've ever seen; thanks for the upload.

[DAGROOVE1000]

WOW!



[pwr815]

This was amazing! I love you Tori!

[yourshade]

She's so much more beautiful than ANY of those supermodels.

[Yokonono99]

@yourshade

They are nowhere NEAR as beautiful as Tori!

[MrWerdna66]

June fifth sitting around drunk with a broken heart . I had to hear this song . Tori has so much emotion . Just reverse the roles from girl to guy to guy to girl .

[luisollanas]

simply perfect!!!!!



[ericalpn1]

for Jayfish

[msladygem76]

that smirk at :21 is soo flippn hot!!!

[Anjoel22]

God. She was perfect here. Totally at her creative peak. I miss the old Tori so much. Her new material lacks the raw emotion that her first handful of releases had.

[lucretia101]

burn in hell jay leno

[N2YJP]

Jay leno is the star of this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DM101lover101]

This song always makes me cry. Reminds me of when my ex and I first started dating when we would sit in his car for hours and the windows would fog and we'd just listen to her "under the pink" album. We would write and draw on the windows (in the fog)and just relax. This song takes me to some of the happiest memories in my life. Never take the simplest moments for granted. I know that now.

[barryframic]

This song is just the safest place I know to hide

[Busaganashi]

If I was the Wicked Witch of the East, and Tori were Dorothy, that story would be a bucket shorter ;)

[michaelineangelo]

I want that dress!

[mikhailangelo14]

tomorrow will be be valentines day here in 2011... 17 years man... but her performance is timeless

[AliKatt28]

i like the metaphors in the song. she's a great writer.

[heartoftheisland]

Burt Reynolds will be here... what decade is this?

[AliKatt28]

@heartoftheisland 90s. it says that in the descrip.

[JewelAngel]

@heartoftheisland it's in '94 lol

[jonnyb69able]

is it normal for her to make grown men cry.

[MrMichelle2037]

When I asked Dave Navarro to bake me a day... I think he thought.

[rigaitan74]

Takes me back to a time I loved....

[JeffBlazer74]

I was there. In the audience. Best live vocal I've ever seen in my life. You could hear a pin drop in the studio, the audience was so captivated.

[n10hairbear]

@FarewellBlackSwan

I can only agree. I guess she was searching for something she felt she lacked or needed with the radical surgical makeover. Only she knows if it helped her in ways that we can't really appreciate but for me she lost something of herself in the process. That such a beautiful woman with so much talent, heart and courage on display in every line she has ever written ultimately seems to have seen something inadequate in herself may speak to the pressures women feel to be perfect.

[n10hairbear]

@FarewellBlackSwan Can only agree; such a shame but ultimately I guess she was looking for something and felt the surgery would help her find it. Only she knows if she found it but for me she lost something in the searching.

[ScarletsFetish]

Tori Amos is stunning I love her voice

[alrightythen1979]

I hope that when I die, god will look like Tori Amos.

[wurlitzerkeys]

Her voice suits her beauty so perfectly... this is probably her best performance EVER.

[savetheunstable]

Tori in her prime! What happened to 1994?? Can't believe it was so long ago.. I feel old. :-(

But, I'm still a Toriphile. Some things won't change.

[Nanceify]

Gorgeous song, one of my fav.

[importantwoman]

Could she be any more stunning....

[beenelosthesunset]

@importantwoman I don't think it's possible.

[Sherri2008]

@importantwoman

The answer to your question is easy: no.

:)

[MaggsLily]

Under the pink....is one of my favourite C.D's of all time....:)

[kevvie100]

She gives me chills. And this song hits close to home too.

[toriphile7]

One of the best performances of this song I've seen.

[aquariuschild08]

Tori Amos is far more beautiful than the other three girls <3

[kokinos5]

One of the best live performers ever...ethereal and inspiring.

[uralural10]

Awesome



[9crapper]

Have loved this song, since it was released, never tired of listening to it

[danaseilhan]

the song hits a little too close to home for me lately... :(

[SafkaDK]

She do sex by the piano every time !

[mpvt]

one of my favourite tori songs!

i added my own cover of "baker baker" in the video responses :D

<3 hugs from scotland xxxxx

[allsokay]

Bustertexan123.... check out " Piano shopping interview" that hereinmyhead posted

[Bustertexan123]

it's so amazing how 90% of the time, she isnt even looking at the piano keys...

[nowordforit]

Clearly the inspiration for Regina Spektor

[Judynue]

@nowordforit No.

[NarutoSasukeLegends]

she looks like a vampire. sexy haha

[gcxj220]

Lol, look at everyone's hair at the end of the clip. It's funny when in the 90s we made of 80s hair. But look at 90s hair. Pretty bad too. It never ends!

[ArinkaLinders]

And when she has sung her song she turns in to a very shy girl. Amazing.

[JAD3RULEZ]

<3 her songs!!!! :)

[larroc23]

AHHHHH, loved her stuff in the 90's! ABSOLUTELY beautiful!!!!! Her last few albums have not been great.

[bigcyhutch]

my favorite tori song. simple, true and beautiful.

[MirandaMable]

just love her

[eshellye]

One of my all time favorite Tori songs. Thank you for posting.Just beautiful.

[acusticadam]

what a beautiful fragile brave song!.......

[1grinchie]

Do you think she's ever fallen off that bloomin' piano stool?

A bet she'd still remain cool. She's soo fab!

[dominikjacobs]

@1grinchie:

I think it was Tori who taught Lady Gaga how to straddle a piano bench without looking slutty.

"Speechless" by Gaga might just as well have been written by Tori. However, Tori's genius is not distracted by fashion.

[googooki]

she's grinding on it too hard too fall off

[synaesthete81]

She is BEAUTIFUL.

[glennwith2nns]

this song should be heard not seen

[clovrmay]

Tori makes me cry, even when I think I can't, I'm all dried up, she's that good.

[Vindrag]

crying.

[chocolatsugar]

wow,

even better than the CD

simply because it is live. <3

[simpilcity4dnb]

This is my forvite song from Under the Pink, my CD is mess right now because I played it so much.

[shaggy816]

so beautiful - I have this performance on VHS somewhere in storage...I remember when this was broadcast. But why, why, why did you let the clip run on and cut back to Jay Leno and the close of the show? I was in heaven watching Tori and then BAM - Jay Leno's mug pops up on screen. Not pleasant, lol.

[xtraordinarymachine0]

time. I thought I'd make friends with time.

[andsmith74]

the best singer songwriter in a generation! completley understood by the masses but a certain enough of us live in the real world. thank f**k :-)

Thanks Tori, as always speaking from the heart.

[Sarahon06]

She's a beauty queen.

My little beanbag in the street. ;)

[lookingformyluce]

This was the day I fell in love with her!!

[Emberville]

If you can manage, just pause at 2:24

She's so beautiful <3

[dorionwilde]

Probably my favorite song she's ever done

[FastforwardTheRewind]

"If you see him, say hi."

It's amazing how such a simple line could strike me so deeply.

[yahraever]

une voix démentielle.

[ASeasonedWitch]

She is 100% committed to each song she sings.

Would love to hear her cover Macarthur Park someday. Tori? How about it?

[krisss79]

Tori, astonishing!

[1974Qball]

mmmm I'll always lov her.

[sucraman2]

Tori is as stunning as she is Talented, as always.

[znarf541]

She's playing a Bosendorfer - extremely rare grand piano, has 100 keys, an extra octave. They are pretty rare - does she really need that - or is it just for effect??

[vpittsley]

her explanation is that she loves that piano because they're made by hand and each piece is crafted over a years long process. she said she feels the lives of the men who crafted it and the emotions and experiences they had during it's creation. it's a beautiful instrument, and i can understand her preference. a piano like that isn't made it's CREATED. and she doesn't 'need it' but she uses the full range.

[CAROLINEsvetlana]

:) I thought so 2

[CAROLINEsvetlana]

clearly you are on the wrong page to be asking this :)

[thenerocomplex]

it creates really beautiful overtones.

[Tokagawa]

I like that at the end shes sitting next to all those flooseys and she looks so beautiful and perfect

[spacedoginnebraska]

That's outstanding........

[SameFatCrow]

so full of love and strength. she's inspiring.

[alwaysgoodforastorm]

This isn't one of my favorite Tori songs, but I just love this performance--gives me a whole new perspective on the song. It sounds lovely solo, live. Love that dress, also. The way she presses the keys is amazing. Wow can she play that instrument!

[CelticRaE19]

and i HATE desintigration why must we all wither? :( even tori

[nottheredbaron]

amen x's infinity!

[alextboz4ever]

This song means so much to me, and has always been my favorite. Watching this performance has made me fall in love with the song again, and with Tori and her stage presence. I love it!!! thanks for posting

[Mutsumi666]

Ella me parece increible, tiene un talento..una belleza..me parece la sensibilidad y femineidad personificadas

[Tinkerbelle369]

There is no better singer then Tori Amos! She is absolutely beautiful,and an amazing artist!

[nottheredbaron]

goosebumps at 1:12 in

I tried fighting them off but its inevitable

and this is gonna sound way gay

but that rope dress thing

is my favorite Tori outfit EVER

[alextboz4ever]

lol...it is a nice outfit!! lol

[ScarletsBeautifulLie]

Really lovely song and performance. Tori played 'baker baker' by request at one of the shows I went to on the adp tour and it was really touching.

Also, Tori is way prettier than the three supermodels they show at the end on Leno's couch lol!

[CCarmen]

SOOOOOO true, her sexiness root from somewhere more resounding, it is not atached to appearance, though enhanced by it. Impeccable!

[joel60112]

Her best song with "winter".

Superbe Tori

[Sammy5595]

I love her. she's so beautiful and talented.

[lancesbaby]

she is the most beautiful woman i have ever fuckin seen

[beenelosthesunset]

@lancesbaby Nothing more perfect on this earth.

[SpartanLust]

@lancesbaby

damn fuckin' right, son!!

[myndae]

beautiful. she is so beautiful.

[lovesyaaa]

see how shes almost crying yet smiling

beautiful voice and song

[CCarmen]

you know, the most amazing thing about her is that, even when you think you have absorbed all the meanings you could from her songs, you watch her PERFORMING it like here, and these completely new meanings are unveiled to you. She's not just there reproducing something she recorded, she really breathes new life into her music with each performance, she really gives it all. It's...too touching for words, what she does...thank you for uploading & sharing:)

[civeniv]

2 thumbs up!!

[byakuugan86]

sexy

[surfergirlCali]

Stunning......

[italianoettore]

Tori Amos live è bravissima!!!

[AllrunescapeUsers]

Good

[NymphetamineOrchid]

That's the dress she's wearing on the Cornflake Girl single release cover! The one where she's standing in the closet!

[amylh322]

She's wearing shorts and a top here with a fishing net over it :) I do miss the days of Tori pre-stylist! Much more creative!! And I'm not disagreeing with you - she had a fishing net happening on the single too! :)

[NymphetamineOrchid]

I do believe she's wearing a kind of green dress on the album cover with the fishnet over it. Correct? I love it!

[amylh322]

That sounds familiar! I had to sell so much of my great Tori stuff (and the rest will probably be leaving soon too :-(....) to pay bills. Hard to be disabled these days.

But yes I remember the dress - it seemed like a few colours, maybe sort of tye dyed? I'll look and see if it's anywhere on the 'net. Seems like someone would have scanned it!!

[BoysForPele1989]

Amazing performance. HAd the chance to hear this life back in 2005. I LOVE HER ATTIRE!!! Beautiful.

[torilbruce]

tori amos is most simply the most talented woman i've ever heard in my life.

[papallacta]

[gibber259]

[o0micmac0o]

she explains a little here - watch?v=KO8uX8xI60Y

(also includes another beautiful version of BB)

"after I wrote Me & A Gun, I had to work through trying to open up intimately again with a man & it's been a . . . I've been working on it with my boyfriend & this is it . . ."

& if you don't know the traumatic story behind 'Me & A Gun' go listen! - watch?v=p8401uI83Bg

[LariLaEvil]

Tori amos is amasing. This song is so great, it makes me sad, but also makes me feel good!

[Spinny78]

[SarahLeeAnn]

I can't listen to this without almost crying...

[janikabam]

[GDGspire]

also, lmao at FRASIER and three SUPERMODELS sitting with Tori. :P

[mobbyplay]

three supermodels... and a GODDESS

[dioseolo]

This video is way before that. And it's "Tash", for Natasha, not "Tosh".

[obbligato123]

One of my favorite bridges in a song. Space Dog has one too.
