I know I had to say something ignorant about this song on this wall but I can't find it. If one of you do, know that I am ashamed and embarrassed for posting something like that.

[LaGoonch]

I must say, though I like Miis Amos, I think that the Nirvana version trumps over this one. That is not to say that this is bad, but you just can't beet the original in this case :/

[jollylollypollyholly]

wow. this actually made me cry. imma big Tori Amos fan, and i did not know she did this cover. AMAZING

[WelLRoundeDSquarE]

@jollylollypollyholly I have to agree, it brought tears to my eyes as well, and goosebumps to my whole body <:o) It is truly brilliant BTW awesome nick :P

[brown9483]

ripify (dot) com is the best website to get this mp3.

[RpattzMyPapiChulo]

i feel her love for the song the way i do i love it

[suesue48]

Wow that Tori Amos sure is talented. Hey- I thought of another great way she could shit on Kurt's memory. . . does she own a shotgun?

[giannaluva65]

REALLY?! with all this bitching/arguing? They're both awesome. STFU!

[xCzarnaKocicax]

More like the original version, but I do not sing better. (PS>>Sorry for my english. I am from Poland.)

[VinCeXMS]

Is she always this stoned?

I don't listen to this kinda music :p

[arbuviknb]

1:55-1:58 that's an orgasm!!!!  look at her eyes!!!!

[nanatsu7]

this is only a reinterpretation of the original song.... her point of view in her style, its not killing the original song, i think.

[chubsykins]

your clearly all just crazy narrow minded nirvana fanatics

[malocho]

Im not a Nirvana fanatic, but you kill all the meaning of the song playing it in this way, is just a scream, a fuck you all song, playing it so sweet is like to lock up a wild animal .

A great song if it wasn't a better one.

[rainjustice38]

@malocho nah there's more then one way to be an animal ;) tori has never locked up anything. she's a force of nature whether she's holding the tension in quiet stillness or lettin it loose. you can still feel the power of it.  i think she does cobain honor and justice.

[WelLRoundeDSquarE]

@malocho she in no way kills the meaning of the song. If you watch her intervue about this, she is portraying the womans side of it, per her interpretation. I assure you Curt is pleased with this brilliant interpretation of it. If I'm not misstaken, she new Curt and they discussed it as well. watch the intervue about it and stop being such a narrow minded hater. Grow the fuck up, and make a possitive contribution to society you lazy fuck.

[malocho]

@WelLRoundeDSquarE 50 years old and still thinking you are right in everything, instead of being such a troll and learn to listen others people appreciation. Not everybody who listen to a song hear the same thing, making a possitive contribution... may i say i like it just becouse you think thats possitive? i still said it, but you, narrow minded hater, didnt even saw. Greetings, and grow up your mind.

[WelLRoundeDSquarE]

@malocho oh my mind is plenty grown, believe!!! take your own advice , and be sure I don't think I am right in everything. However I will appologize to you for the non-positive comments i made to you, for that I am TRULY sorry.

Tony

[malocho]

@WelLRoundeDSquarE I will apologize too for being so rude, im glad that still some people can answer propperly and talk, is hard to see an appologize here, so you have my thanks for teach me that.

About the song, i just wanted to say what i saw, maybe im wrong. I really like this song, i heared it lots of times, but i still preffer the original, just becouse i feel it really full of power and some kind of rage. But amybe im wrong and you can say the same thing singing this way.

[xxmanixx1995]

what was she doing at 1:55-1:58? lol.

[arbuviknb]

I tell ya, every video, almost, she's humpin' the corner of her piano bench

[forlife01]

"i'm worse at what I do best" ... i disagree ... you do a bang up job of making quality songs suck.

[Grahamintehpond]

this is awesome, amazing style

[forlife01]

oh my gosh, why is this video still posted?

[0rmick]

If I find one comment to this video that even so much as hints that the poster doesn't know that it was Nirvana who did the original, I will find and shoot the poster in the face.

[icetemper]

lollllll

[TTLYPerfect]

Question: What do you think she could have done to make this even better? (I don't mean adding other instruments, or tracks and stuff, what do you think could she have done better considering that the only instruments present are vocals and piano)? How could she have made this an even better performance?

DISCLAIMER: I do not by any means mean to be rude or offend ANYONE! I am curious purely curious, because I can't see anything wrong with this and want to know what others opinions are.

[nchlsmrry48]

she could have not done it

[PondoSinatra07]

Tori is easily the best female vocalist ever born!

[Rosetylerfano1o1]

she has such a pretty vioce!

[Vesdrajo]

grande :)

[freecups]

i loveeee tori amos.

[Mrwhitesurvivor]

its not the video its this cover!!!

[hipmamaof2]

this is real..I saw her on TV when I was 12 years old...my first Tori experience and I asked my mom for Little Earthquakes after I saw her playing this on MTV...

[Mrwhitesurvivor]

I hate that bitch!!!!

[RSVibe]

I hate you

[Mrwhitesurvivor]

I dont care

[RSVibe]

good.

Now, if you hate "this bitch"

stop watching her videos.

Dumbass.

[abigaildestroys]

agreed.

[RSVibe]

:D

power to the EWFs!

[lalaleahwitch96]

she is so beautiful!

[nirvanafan176]

not rele..

[abigaildestroys]

lets give the nirvana fan a certificate for great spelling.

[funkmetalbass]

I think this piece, musically, catches the entire intent and feeling of the lyrics. It's a very violent, sad song and I think everything about her version captures those emotions.

I prefer her recorded version because it's much simpler, cleaner, and flows a bit better.

[ultragirlie]

She's all too worried to sound raunchy and forgot what the music is all about...

[lilmizgrunge]

Nice... but Nirvana's way better! luv ya, Kurt!

[forlife01]

i think i'm gonna throw up

[0rmick]

you and me both.

[Deggern123]

I'm near to fall in love with her voice.

She's really good!

[i4ill]

she's sensational on the piano, & she managed to add her own singanture on the song through her nice vocals, despite the constant breathing...I wish if it was less

&of course I prefer Kurt's version, but both are great

[RSVibe]

:)

you should listen to the recorded version of the song that was a b-side on one of her singles.

There's not really any heavy breathing on that :)

[HreNmyhead]

yes amazing amazing amazing.

[shaun4575]

Best peforming female artist in our generation

[forlife01]

then the female artists of our generation suck.

[icetemper]

popopopopopoppoker face! :D

[witchman67]

Tori rocks...
