  • Luv fiona

  • OH.. I WANT U...

  • Comment removed

  • OMG i cant even explain what i just heard

  • i can even count how many times I have listened to this. I always loved everything Fiona Apple has sung, but this is far and away the absolute best... I only wish I could get it onto my Ipod..

  • @MrBaxter27 i would be happy to put in on your ipod

  • @NeurozapPaul just sent you a message . How does this work? would really appreciate it!

  • @MrBaxter27 me too. i come back here every time since 2008

  • quero essa cantora no Brasil urgente!!!!!!!

  • hearing this hurt... in a very good way I mean

  • just wow

  • Wow what a performance, full of power and emotion, you can see her visibly shaking at the end. i need to check out more of this ladies work

  • @bone0944 you don't know what you've been missing... i've been collecting cds since 1995, tidal is the best album of my whole collection to date... I highly recommend it to you. She's awesome

  • @jpdlcj Thanks for the recommendation, i have listened to a couple of other pieces of work she has done now and im stilll very impressed, so much so that i seem to write still with three L's from time to time. My names Peter by the way and it is nice to make your aqaintance

  • @bone0944 It's good that you had a chance to watch and hear some other work from her.. My name is Juan and it's a pleasure... it's always nice to share some tips from people who really enjoy nice music and performers...

  • @bone0944

    You have to do it ;)

  • It's sad that people think if she wore something better this video would be better. To help I would say open another tab on your browser search for porn. Find a good porn video you like. Turn down the sound on the new tab and listen to this one.

  • Normally a lot of repetition in a song bothers me, but this is so freaking brilliant I can't help but love it. I love how the emotion just seems to pour out of her.

  • I really love her voice.

  • The greatest vocal performance I have ever heard. Amazing.

  • I love the "sullen girl" in this. she is amazing.

  • Sorry to ruin it, but she was singing about Jonathan Ames.

  • this women is believing what she is saying, ...and elvis knows it.

  • The feeling you get from this song and the way she sings cannot be described with words...

  • I want you

    It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for.....

  • LOVE.LOVE.LOVE......

  • pain and angst all at the same time, awesome.

  • Freaking AMAZING!!

  • One of the best emotional singers of our time, you can't put any more feeling in this song than she has....She finishes just shy of getting naked, crawling up on the catwalk and falling to her death.....

  • @kellyismyrealname I think that's why I can't stop listening to her music since I first heard her... She's got soul, in every song; a kind of groove that you most strongly feel in black music essentially. Fiona's got soul, I hope she'll make an amazing career... a long one.

  • can you just imagine all the thoughts that must be going through her head to bring out a performance like that. wow. now thats what its about.

  • wow, tingles

  • I can't stop coming back to this, and I first saw it years ago. Man I wish I had been there!

  • this always makes me shiver

  • Comment removed

  • I love the original for sure, but the passion in her voice here just makes this rendition unforgettable

  • I LOVE HER AND HER VOICE

  • WOW!

  • im in love with fiona

  • I'm sorry fiona. I'll be your friend

  • Honestly, how are there 7 dislikes?

  • Un-fucking-believably excellent singer. Haunting rendition of a song that strikes chords with millions of heartbroken, unrequited lovers. Almost as beautifully bluesy & heartwrenching as Fiona's career masterpiece ( of course my subjective opinion ), "I Know".

  • she is soooooooooo beautiful

  • There's really no one else like Fiona. She sings with so much sincerity. No faking.

  • probably one of the greatest covers of all time. she totally owned the song.

  • amazing version fiona is awsome. i just wish she'd dress better..

  • she needs a new and definitely better stylist

  • @modacibebek You might feel more at home watching E! This isn't Kim Kardashian.

  • she must have sensed it.......amazing!!

  • She really needs a new album!!!! It's been six years.

  • @mikegnome she had a new album about 2 years ago....

  • @BELL12366 Yeah no.. she didn't. Extraordinary Machine was her last studio album, and that was in 2005.

  • I'm seeing Elvis Costello in May! I couldn't believe it when I heard he was bringing back the Spinning Songbook tour. If he does this song I might die of happiness then and there.

  • I thought I couldn't love her more than I already do.

    AAAAAAARGH. I can't believe I just discovered this now. This is an amazing performance.

  • AAAAAAARGH. I can't believe I just discovered this now. This is an amazing performance.

  • Where can I download this??

  • THIS is art...

  • @mds48 couldn't have said it better myself.

  • @marissajrod ;)

  • omg !

  • this woman is my idol

    

  • I don't know why, but I'd love to see a Costello, McCartney, Clapton, Jeff Lynne collaboration. I think it would wow the younger generation as well as giving a sorta throwback to the oldies

  • cant stop listening to this song all day

  • Listening to this girl feels like knowing a cello song, and suddenly you hear the violin version.

  • I love Declan and everything that he's written/collaborated/worked on/ever done since he first began his career. And I agree that Fiona absolutely killed this version - it was as if it was written for her. But... anyone else notice that her left nostril is smaller than her right? I have to close my eyes at the closeups and just concentrate on how she's putting her averything into the song.

  • So, I've been adding a view or two to this daily for a couple weeks now. Yeah, I love everything about this performance!

  • She is so intense! I totally love her!!!

  • @AquadudeTampa Yeah, her eyes and body language really sell it!

  • i like the original - but this song was made for her -

  • hey pletvdw or w-ever the fuck it is - u must be @ 17, a Bieber/Beck/Smashing Pumpdinks fan cuz u obviously haven't been exposed to the REAL Golden Era of Rock from 64-76, o-wise u would know. There's 2 "E.C.'s from that era & still playin tuff. U probably think (C)RAP is quality "music", right?! Autotunes, no instruments, talking dirty Dr. Seuss rhymes - usually mindless meanderinhs about "bitches/hoes, police brutality, white "boys", the "hood", & how hard u have it. Expand your musical repet

  • Who is Elvis Costello? There is nothing cool about ignorance.

  • @marigoldylocks agreed. that joke was just fucking stupid. any music fan worth their grain of salt knows who he is... why else would they even be watching this vid, much less commenting. douchebag hate FTW!

  • Who the F^%$# is Elvis Costello. It looks like a soap powder advertisement to me.

    With 2 packs of Costello a free scrubbing brush.

  • Comment removed

  • it does not get any better than that!!! LOVE HER

  • watching this for the first time in a while and fiona is still captivating. but the song is what makes this. costello (+- nieve, attractions, imposters, etc) wrote good shit.

  • super like!!

  • She sure is something:-)

  • She's just so beautiful

  • cool, now I want to see The Proclaimers do a version >:)

  • I love this video because Fiona had been my favorite artist prior to seeing it, and watching it made me feel like I was justified in my choice.

  • for now, my most favorite you tube video. her earnestness is infectious, and how lucky to have EC playing backup for her? Lucky gal, she does a brilliant job, particularly the line about seeing things clear and stark, i love that.

  • THIS KID IS A KILLER.

  • she is so so beautiful. and amazing

  • This song makes me feel that obsession is cool. *thumbs up*

  • Fiona is a fair.

  • I absolutely love this song, and her voice is oh soo amazing!!!

  • No, 50K r mine, Keith. ur numbers don't add.

    What raw emotion!

  • this is crazy...

  • I've seen this at least 20x in the last few weeks, and I'm awestruck each time. Fiona rocks in the way that speaks to the emotional, primal honesty in all of us. Looking forward to see what she'll do next.

  • I think at least 50,000 of the views are mine.

  • @keithhallgren you'll have to share some credit for those 50k views with me :) I'm a hardcore EC fan but Fiona just blows me away here

  • @keithhallgren I have the HD version of this. I think maybe I should post it just for you!  hehe

  • @Ruubikon Please!

  • @Ruubikon Yes please!!

  • @keithhallgren an the rest are mine!! haha

  • @wefwef10

    She Didn't miss almost Every note. that song was amazing. She sang it with Ever y bit of her soul. Ca nyou not see the pure, raw emotion, coming out of this woman?

    There were no notes missed, even if they were.

    Maybe your just tone deaf?

  • Anyone who criticized your pictures has never been in love so immeasurable and to the extent of remembering every moment that was with that person. Moments that you were together photographed and carved in your brain. For those who do not understand how deep these pictures are, I feel sorry, not wanting someone so much that any other word is just a waste of breath. Depth is not in their vocabulary. Quelle domage.

  • There should be a "love" option for this video.

  • @karenno

    hah, nice sentiment. But if there was a love option, people would just over use it. Thankfully there isn`t a love option. :p x

  • better than the original. I love Fiona, she has such power in her perfomances, everytime. Fiona never fails. <3

  • OMG I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED HER.. BUT MY GOD THIS SONG HAS TOOK OVER ME.. I CANT STOP PLAYING IT.. AHHH FIONA WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME LOL

  • BRAVO!!!!!!!

  • Wow that was breathtaking, i have goosebumps, & thats not easy for me to do. Thats the best live performance i've ever seen. Fiona is amazing!

  • WOOOW

  • oh good what a talented singer is Fiona, is intensitiy is unique...

  • Never seen such a passionate cover. She's absolutely intense. I can feel a full range of emotions listening to this song, it's a rocky rollercoaster. I love it.

  • GO FIONA! ! ! ;)

  • Goosebumps every time!

  • Love her!!! Thumbs up if you do to!!

  • Amazing song, and Fiona makes it even more intense.

  • AWESOME!!!!

  • She really is expressive....too expressive...but only because she can't sing it with Elvis Costello's voice...which is THE most true voice ever...the guy's singing and you can tell that he hurts deep inside...she's just pretending...but i give her credit for trying, it's not easy..

  • @deepdowncriminal

    She's not pretending. She can;t even break fomr her pain, when the song is over.

    do you not see the raw emotion coming out of this woman.

    You can be Biased, because you appreciate Elvis Costello.

    But I, thought he was terrible.He may have an original voice. But his music is boring.. And the only Reason I even like this song, Is because of this video.

    And now, because of that. I can appreciate elvis costello's version as well.

    Don't down people because your biased. Fiona ROCKS

  • @Sithagarithaga She sings like she's been chased ffs....and she's doing that expression with her mouth like she's disgusted...I cant see why u like her performance of the song,and i surely cant see why you prefer it from the original. But anyway Im not interested in arguing with anyone here...I just stated my point of view.

  • She is so beautifully vulnerable to express the passion between her body mind and soul...Thank you Fiona <3

  • damn you angry woman!

  • @pichiatores - HAHAHA!!! As much as I love Fiona, that cracked me up to no end.

  • oh my god this song is awesome!!!!!!!!!!and she is awesome too!!!!!!!!

  • if a more talented and beautiful and expressive woman ever existed please let me know

  • toooooooo much!!!!!the intro is more than to much emotional!!!

  • was this song written about bebe buell?

  • @edavey no

  • SHE IS UNIQUE

  • @KHAT82 I agree; I'm a guy, and her music is so good: her passion, moments of darkness..yeah!. she's amazing at this concert:-) I heard she was uncomfotable performing like this. She's so awesome, maybe even when she doesn't know it:-)

  • dit is is niets anders dan dit!

  • yummy bowl of intensity there

  • One of my favorite Costello songs completely taken to another level. Absolutely amazing.

  • wow nunca habia visto una cantante apropiarse tanto del sentimiento de la cancion como ella...hay mucha emocion.... es simplemente increible

  • If I had a chance to perform with EC and he asked me to sing this song, I would likely die before I reached the stage. I have so much respect for both artists and it is a great pleasure to see this performance. I can think of no other artist who could take this song and own it. For some reason I enjoy having my heart ripped out because I keep coming back to this song.

  • O my God, i was born to hear that performance. goosebumps and tears.

  • i want them.

  • 1000 views are surly mine! I Love it!! I really feel that way...Oh my...

  • Please Please Please never ever remove this!

  • god this hurts

  • Flippin Brilliant!

  • I remember reading a Costello interview after the concert where he mentioned this performance as the high point of the concert, saying something like this being a great example of an artist taking a song and making it her own.

    I tend to agree - the passion she put into the performance gave me chills.

  • Fiona Apple nailed this tune! I'm a guy, and i love her music; her lyrics speak to me.

  • The master with a master....

  • Yea. This is the reason I've always loved music, sound. rhythm, passion. This is familiar.

  • This is best stalker song ever!

  • @muffnofdoom

    I couldn't agree more. I am suprised it hasn't been used in a film yet.

  • This song absolutely breaks my heart in two.

  • Her vocals are great, people forget Fiona also plays a mad thrashing piano

  • beautiful

  • i heard of Fiona Apple 17 years ago, when i was an 8 years-old kid, by a book i was taught in English....Never listened to her music before,till now....I ve just got no words....just SUPERBE! "i want you" sounds a lot better sang by her than Elvis

  • I never liked her but this song has a quality that makes you stop whatever you are doing to just listen.

    Nobody gets love's angst like Elvis

  • he sings it better than her

  • totally great stuff

  • one great performance! jeezzz...! and I thought nothing could sound better than the original!!

  • kool. nice video u made

  • My hair is on end! Exquisite, nothing less

  • Moving.

  • Does anyone know where I can buy this song? (It's not on iTunes)

  • @pinkled there are a few places to download it, if you google it. That's how I found it....

  • i cant stop watching this video...im in love... im obsessed ... whoa!

  • 5:27 is my favourite part, it mesmerises me

  • Brilliant!

  • She feels it and sings it better than he does on stage.

  • I always thought that the guitar sounds schizophrenic in this song - it matches the words so well.

  • she is touched by .......

  • oh god she feels it!

    love it!!!

  • i ve watch this video1000 times and i still feel chill and speechless...

  • i just love this cover, Fiona's voice and way to sing its so emotional and sincere, she really can transmit me all of her emotions.

    The first song that i listen of her was o' sailor.. no more than two years ago.. and i fell in love with her music.. now im 17 and she still is my favourite artist.

  • I've loved this song from the first time I heard Elvis belt it out - She DOES take this song to new places, and so powerfully...

  • glorious. Two of my very favorites.

  • This is absolutely brilliant. She feels it. And I feel it. And everybody feels it. It's brilliant. I still love the original more, but she did an absolutely fucking amazing job with it!

  • (@Leo)

  • I love how she feels every single word of the song :O totally amazing

  • she owns this song, she feels every word, and her voice reflects it.

  • totally
