loved the Alice version.....when i saw him at ally apally in london, I was thinking...is this a cover of a contry westermn song? Searched..and found this.
been and ac fan since I found his music a few years after he started his career, I apreciate any one any music style that does a good cover. He rocked the mainstream world back in the day by being the orginal shock rock master.
You know, I love Tori and I love Alice (Vincent). I like this, but I prefer the original. I'm not saying I hate this by any means and I believe she did an amazing job. Thank you VERY much for posting this. :)
Put a good pair of headphones on & listen to this turned up. Its almost like Tori is sitting right next to you singing softly in your ear with her "breathy" singing style. I was listening to this on the bus with my phones on, feet crossed, head back, eyes closed, experiencing shivers and goosebumps... kinda fell half asleep, & kinda dreamed she was sitting next to me singing in my ear - so i put my hand on the inside of her thigh...it was a dude... we both screamed. Sportstalk radio ONLY now!!
see my band rocks agent only played very good, like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and others, comment and subscribe evaluates. Thank you. Just logged into my account and look for my band! ... thanks
@stimpp I just don't like her style of singing. It is very slow and she just sounds like "listen to my beautiful voice." I prefer more of a staccato singer like Joan Jett, Katie Perry, or even Lady Gaga. Rock singers and professionally trained vocalists don't work for me. That's more for Jazz or the Opera. She sounds like a music school diva. Doesn't work for me.
@tinkerbell110022 I think I just don't care for her style. Then again, people say I sing like Davey Jones of the Monkeys. So it's all a matter of personal taste. I think her style is rather slow tempo and she doesn't articulate words very clearly. Some people like that. Christina Aguileira is more my style. I'd like to hear Christina do a version of this. She'd blow Tori out of the water.
I think this is an interesting idea from Tori. She probably could have elaborated on it a bit more and made it into something big. Not bad though. I've always loved Alice's version, a great ballad and bold lyrics for it's time.
What I like the most about Tori, is she likes to play in the Flat Keys, just like me! For example, this is in A flat Major, her "God" is in B flat minor, and her "Smells Like Teen Spirit cover is in F minor (like the original). Songs in Sharp Keys, Like E Maj, C# minor, etc. are great and awesome, but whenever I'm noodling around making up shit at a piano, I gravitate towards the Flats.
I thougt I heard and saw everythng frm toribut this is the first tim i heard his and it has great emotion both th origional an tori's version make you feel just in many different forms LOVE TORI SHE IS THE ONLY REASON I AM A LIVE today
I'm sorry but this one just annoys me. It's not horrible but anyone who thinks this is better than the original or even the Lita Ford version needs a serious lecture on music. This song is meant to be rock, not... whatever the hell this is.
A cover doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be like the original, be it rock or something else..Tori gave her version of it and she should be credited for that..Other people who have covered this track gave their own style aswell, Tina Arena did a great cover of the song too. Everyone has their different influences :) Music is a form of art..not law.
fair enough..if thats your personal opinion. Everyone has a right to their take on things, i just didn't appreciate you saying people need a lecture in music if they actually liked Tori's version..
I didn't say that they need a lecture in music if they "liked" Tori's version. It's just that people often think the cover version is better than the original. There are far worse covers than this out there, like the Scissor Sister's cover of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. No argument, that one does suck.
there are cover's that plain beat the original. For instance I love Nine inch Nails but Cash's cover of hurt blows away the original. I think strange little girl is better than the original. Soundgarden has a shit load of covers that are better than the originals. Overgeneralisations like this a fairly meaningless.
@someknave also Janis Joplins cover of Me and Bobby McGee by Kristopherson who personaly told Janis that it was as if he had written the song for her...some covers are great others just shouldnt be done...i kinda like this one..its her own version of the song and thats ok
i like this song, but i think the best cover i heard is by Tina Arena, she has the best vocals and her version is alot more pop-ballad than this and the original which is good if you like pop music i guess lol
@nancynick225 Probably because it was a 'B-side' to Strange Litle Girl which was pulled from shelves with only a few copies being sold. IIRC, there was a Bowie cover as well on the single. Not sure why it was pulled, this is better than a lot of the covers on the album.
You don't cover a song to be better, you cover it because you love it and want to sing it yourself, and interpret it your way, and you want to pay tribute to the legend.

@soulcapture5 Best "covers" are not impersonations. They can vary as much or as little as needs be..but they shouldnt be copies,
Westkife "west end girls" springs to mind as a BAD example. Sing it the same...but no where near as good as B.Joel.
