Virtual Suzanne Vega Sings "Tom's Diner" in Second Life

[dolfinmum4]

SL has come so far in the past 5 years. Stop crashing and fix the lag!

[yellowpete79]

why is the last few lines not on the cds i have? was it for the voice only version?

[suzygreenberg1]

This is the most retarded thing I have ever seen. It's really sad actually that you know the lady singing this is in "first life" 325 pounds with a goiter that portends any kind of meaningful relationships. What the hell is wrong with people? I pray for you.

[MadEducator2010]

@suzygreenberg1 Unfortunately, you are sadly mistaken. Perhaps you are thinking of another Suzanne Vega.

[Wolkeyfentah]

@suzygreenberg1 You're nuts. en.wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/Suza­nne_Vega

[nixxieful]

@suzygreenberg1 and we're all praying for you - This is Suzanne F*cking Vega, performing in SL... have you been living under a rock the past 20 some years? Seriously, atleast have some form of a clue before you so gleefully show us all what an idiot you are.

[moebiusdarvil]

la chanson a le même rythme que renard sacripant

[josaphene]

what game or program is that?

[Renew3D]

This shows how SL has developed... this was 4 years ago.

[yellowpete79]

hang on, that 'midnight picnic' bit etc etc, that bit is not on the cd version i have of the song, is it an extended version ? than ks

[discocreator76]

I hate how on second life you hear that constant windy, howling noise in the background!

[jennicase]

NOOBS!

[zwartepiet412]

i keep waiting from some soldiers from halo 3 to burst into this scene and reduce everyone to pulp.

[karenvillalba29]

weeeiiirrrd

[bondfool]

Second Life is weird.

[StormyHotwolf88]

Oh wow, lyrics I haven't heard of before! That was cool, wish I was there! My only problem is the camera dude being all over the place :/

[IndiumBlue]

Ok this is weird People pay for buying fake land on a video game online? Whatever floats your boat bro!

[Bearfoot]

if you are a virutal land baron you can make a RL living doing it.. :P

[onlyoneman23]

With Great Appreciation for This Track Checkout My Version!

[anun1982]

haha, i sold a guitar on ebay and the lady who bought it said she performs on second life virtual concerts. What a loser.

[LadyLovie]

Jokes, on you, as musicians in SL make actual money. Several actual use this as career...so...2 hours a day...5 days a week...making enough money to live off of comfortably? Might wanna learn a lil about what your bashing before you open your fool mouth.

[voidforpurpose]

How cum their avatars aren't "typing"?

I am the lone gymnosophist on 2nd Life.

Hiding on the arrival island and boycotting the entire banal simulacrum.

[AlexandriaAshbourne]

Because they weren't typing text, they were streaming audio.

[woeldike]

omg second life sucks...!

[InnocentLiarTwo]

NO U!

actually, when people AREN'T doing this, it's not so bad x)

[travis7310]

Around 4:34, it sounds like she went out of key just a little.

[navaerick69bb]

03:54

i would bone that avatar.

[hanyougod]

rofl good call

[navaerick69bb]

her voice puts me to sleep.

[Jonita123]

Second Life is amazing! <3333

[onlyoneman23]

[Ironzealot7531]

[ThreeTailedMoon]

I love how they try to make it look like a real concert by zooming in and out on her avatars face. FAIL XDD

[chibikitti123]

[xXWiiRockerXx]

[woa45]

[SuziFine]

My middle name is Suzanne ya'll dat tite!!!

[lizzabbott]

OMG I never laughed so hard in my life!! Not at Suzanne, but this whole 2nd Life stuff! Be fuckin' serious! Ppl PAY to make some dumn ass version of themselves & send I.M.s on this thing?? Too hilarious! And the comments here by other ppl who think this is retarded had me crying with laughter! Is this the stupidest thing ever or what?? What a bunch of crack heads!

[zakkmiester]

you dont have to pay to join sl....

[vittorioaja]

this si the weakest thing i've ever seen in my life

[gopher001]

how is this weak its open to what you make get a clue its not weak at all

[SkaterK3]

Second Life is retarded! You have to spend real life money to get items and housing in that game! What a waste of money.

[SJGster]

You can get freebies. Also, I make a lot of Lindens selling a product I made, and have NEVER spent a real life cent in Second Life.

[AllowExpression]

This is a lie. You make your own items and sell them, if you lack creativity you will fail at Second Life. There's competition to make good items since anyone can do it.

[LyricWatch]

did you see 3:21?

[liuwenjie6678]

ha,hahahahahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa­aa...lol,i got no idea what to say...but,ha!

[mumish13]

is maked with Sims 2

[jusemoma]

it is a game called SECOND LIFE, is another simulator, there are artists like duran duran or green day, believe me it is not the sims 2, it will look better

[QueenJeanne]

I love sims 2. Thats not sims 2. Only people with like amazing computers can do Second life. I got a new computer less then a year ago. ALL brand new, can't hold it. :D

[dddoscar]

second life need s alot of work. very jumpy and ridgid.

[KUKU4103]

second life is for losers without real life.

[futurehope65]

thanks for posting this, I've been a fan for 20 years at least.

[smoothmove]

wayyy coool mannnn I was there when this happend....but I was to busy trying to fly to the moon. next thing you know...I ran into a dude that kept talking about how he likes to draw large women. and he said he fantisizes about a world where fat people cant die from obesity. I said...come onn...there is more to a person then how they look...he followed me around...and asked if my sister was fat...everything he talked about was fat this and fat that...it was crazy!

[prettytunisiangirl]

wtf?

[spicypeppaj69]

lmao wow.

[deadhues]

wtf??

[jamesharvey]

Suzanne Vega has an easy job. I wish I could just turn up and go dooby dooby doo into a microphone and then go home.

[plootey]

Why don't you, then?

[bouqalwa]

is that really suzan vegas on secondlife???

(oO) sounds strange !!!!

[Friedegger]

This is pretty neat, it's lovely to hear the song in such a strange environment.

Although the camera work was a little erratic towards the end, it did have a good effect when looking at the audience.

[MKMKH]

WTF is this????

[themagictorch]

i am going to be second lifes first serial killer...so watch out all you weirdos

[hpendlex]

Do it!

[BallinMafia]

Luv it! She's still got it!

[guterbol]

WILD!

[murdukwatson]

LMFAO @ TheUntouchables6 hahahahahahaha

[8394147]

This is stupid. Second Life is weird.

[TheUntouchables6]

CREEPY.......(singing like suzanne Vega)and before I go fucking crazy I turn off this creepy clip. de de de de , de de duu de, de de de de du de

lol

[amazingstarbeam]

I don't understand....doesn't one need to first have a life in order to engage in a second life?

[animeMMA]

LMFAO

[8394147]

Obviously not.

[JudiG]

I cant believer I never heard this song before this year! How did I miss it?

[Hurrlibutz]

I don't like Second Life, but Suzanne Vega is great

[guterbol]

Sexy ass voice.

[Auntchovi]

The whole thing is creepy...why are they sitting so far apart from one another...The video may suck but at least the audio and interview are good.

[superkawaiijap]

creepy people.....wt...was that hellboy? omg VERY creepy....:O

[zeddblue]

i love this, but the crowd is creepy. they just stare at her like they are about to pounce poor vega.

[hoiia]

second live is empty:D

[rforce1]

In Second Life you can even find Transformers!

And one is doing Yoga - and was filmed!

Search: Transformers Yoga

[jmali1]

i like this song. it was a big hit on urban radio for some reason (the remix and the accapella)

[AndrogyneMichinaga]

OK, so the lips don't move, and for other performers they will be able to make more dynamic physical gestures. But hey, we get a performer in our virtual world. I saw Suzanne in concert in Liverpool in the 80s, and it's great to hear her live again.

[MEdicALjuNkiE]

how can you play second life. those graphics are soooo bad

[blacksheepgirl]

Shoulda Used The Sims 2. You can practically sinc em

Plus they look pretty cool.

[immeris]

why aren't the lips moving? i thought the vega avatar was a person in the audience just listening and reacting. this is so lame! suzanne, where are YOU?

[tunoddenrub]

Someone's never played Second Life.

[immeris]

haha so true ;-)

[tunoddenrub]

To answer your question, it's because it's, to my understanding, damn near impossible to make lips move at all in Second Life, and even then you only get basic facial expressions like smile, frown, etc.; even that only comes through heavy scripting.

[VietPriDe143213]

dude..i am stuck in a mainland or something..how u get in that place, i was just donw with the tortorial and ended up in another place and dont know what to do

[hgfhg99]

i can help u if ur still stuck

[twoanimesisters]

omg i loooove the original version!!

[wesleymc]

I'm probably the only person that loves the original version the best.

[Tweepit]

You mean the acapella version (voice only, no instruments)? Then that makes two of us ;) I love the original version, it is so beautiful.

[GypsyUndertaker]

Which button do you push to have sex with the people?

[Outrack]

... Insert?

[xxepdudexx]

Haha xD

[jepz11]

This is the one song I like least of all by her because someone glued an ugly beat under it and was on radio for weeks, had success with it while the original hardly received attention. Suzanne deserves more than her song stolen in a lousy way.

[Mikomaribojo]

thing is ppl dont like too many acapellas sadly. and most are added as sample or put onto a beat.

[doubtnthomas]

Its a shame that this performance was wasted on Second Life. God those robotic, plastic avatars just inspire you, don't they? I'm going to download the program right now so i can create a retarded version of myself and watch it do inane stuff in someone elses computer program.

[novata01]

Laughed myself stupid at this. Funnily enough I want to do the same.

[dreamcastII]

this is great - thank goodness this is the original a-cappella version not the horrid 1990 remix.

[DeadManOnLeave]

Second Life may be Nerd City, but that's such a great interview and performance by a way underrated singer songwriter.

[LUK0BA]

I was listening to it on the radio how where people sending text message thoughts to Suzzane Vegas? Any way I loved the song.

[slhamlet]

In SL, you're able to send people a direct instant message that only the person can see. That's what the radio show meant, I guess.

[LUK0BA]

I guess you mean SL is second life? I'm in tech business & I can't figure what the 2nd life is.

[gr8tbigtreehugger]

wish the lips would move.

[dontthinkofme]

This is weird! It's great though!
