  • box fairy

    useless cunt

  • bravissima.....

  • And that's why cocaine shouldn't be forbidden =)

  • Aloha sweet melissa!!Sure miss those hump nights over L.B.,Ca..If u show me yours ? Well I'll never forget those gigs.Take care sister.love ya,surfer cheryl

  • Wow, Janis Joplin looks different in this video.

    What? That's not her? WTF! Melissa Etheridge totally give's this song justice!

  • Best cover I have ever heard/seen!!!!

  • I love her passion for the music! Top notch talent right here ;-D

  • I think there is nothing wrong with the audience. The only things whats wrong here are the people that wonder about the silence of the audience. What were you doin during watching this vid? I was absolutely silent, mouth wide open and totally flashed away by this cover. It comes so close to Janis its amazing. So if you shouted during this vid you probably missed the best parts.....

  • is the audience full of crash test dummies, or deaf people or what?

  • One of the best covers of this song I've ever heared.

  • an Iconic rendition

  • Wandering around Youtube, and found a woman called Melissa.

    What a voice...is she a lesbian?

  • @stiglaa Does it matter?

  • @jerramy

    Yes. Nothing wrong with it at all, just curious. And in this day and age its nothing to be ahamed about. So is she?.

  • @stiglaa - Yep, you guessed it!

  • @jerramy

    Thank you.

  • awesome

  • I prefer Joss Stone...

  • Has she released this to iTunes? I want a good copy of this!

  • Piece Of My Heart - Melissa Etheridge

  • woooooooooooow! too awesome...Indiana

  • She is and remains a top girl!!

  • @CyclingStartlists Bijna net zo goed ;-)

  • FEELING GIRL!!!

  • Everyone take a bow

  • only issue with my homegirl, melissa, in this song is she is too overt in the ugly towards men and janis had men singing the song and loving it...so goes the big difference....but for women....excellent remake!

  • Melissa Is a great singer she is AWESOME!!!!

  • @MrGolger This is a boring and bad comment. She was awesome.

  • OMG melissa wakes the audeince up with her wailing...LOL i love that...^_^ awsome!

  • great performance!! where is the audience?? sleeping??? How is that happened?

  • imma total loser! why haven't I known her then?! what was I doing those days! BADASS! \m/

  • love me some JJ... and anyone who can do her justice is awesome!!!!

    rock on!

  • now that is a voice and a musician

  • Check out australian Vanessa Amorosi`s cover of this too. It is increadible along with Natural Woman and I am woman honouring Helen Reddy. The only one that can rival the great Miss Etheridge. You won`t regret it. It is on youtube.

  • BADASS!!!! My God, she's talented!! And this was just Melissa and her guitar, y'all. I heard no other instruments or voices, and this still rocked. She blew the roof off by her bad self!!!!

  • I don't care how old Melissa gets, she is totally my guilty pleasure! Her voice is too soulful to resist! <3

  • OMG I forgot how awesome Melissa is. Wow! Where is she these days?????

  • I adore Janis, but Melissa really kills it!

  • I adore Janis..This is also awesome and 3.43 ?? Whooaaa e-a-r-g-a-s-m !!

  • Holy shit, those last few seconds there, she can sing!

  • Si yo fuera ella, ni hubiera pensado en tratar de interpretar ese canción

  • God Bless Melissa!

  • I just fell in love with u all over again. Huge fan of Janice too. Thank u Woman! Jamie Su from Kountze Tx

  • Maybe the audience was quiet during the performance because they actually wanted to hear her sing and play. There is nothing worse than trying to listen to a performer with some ass screaming his head off in your ear.

  • well i hope dis wasnt in japan.....how da hell is da crowd so silent??? 

  • Talented Melissa... if there was ever a thing like reincarnation I would so love having "a little piece of your talent" in the next life!!!!!!!!!! Love the attitude and passion you put into your music!!!!! You get better every time!

  • Super!!!

  • 5 minute orgasm.

  • Why she cut her hair? =\

  • @KoOstAs50

    she had to win against breast cancer - - - - look also at wikipedia

  • How is the audience not screaming...?

  • rock on girl!

  • Im a huge Melissa fan..... my humble version o this tune !! check out JILL COLE..piece of my heart !! x x 

  • maannnnnnnn uuuuuuuuu rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Actually I like Melissa's version more than Janice's. I like her voice more.

  • this is 2nd to Jance!! Love you both..PINKME

  • nice  love it

  • great ... only a voice and the guitare ... the best!!!!

  • With the exception of a lady named Ann Wilson. Both have a big giant brass pair to sound like that.

    Melissa's version is sultry, Ann's version is belt it out and can chase wild animals out of the jungle ! : )

  • @yipeokia1 Oh, Ann has a version? Is Nancy on guitar? Well, THAT might just rival this...maybe not as pained, but amazing I'm sure. Ann can hit notes that most people in the music industry don'r know exist.

  • @mneil1793 - Agreed- Anncan sing with angst, but she a likes to get soft like wine as well- such a diverse voice - she's amazing - Check out Vanessa Amorosi's version as well- awesome !

  • breathtaking... thats fn Soul!!!!! Owned

  • WHOO HOO, Go Girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • reincarnated janis.

  • Wow this good. I didn't even know she did this cover. Wow she does a good job at it. Wow.

  • Pure music. I love this stuff; no special effects, only an incredibly talented woman, her guitar, and the emotions she conveys through her sensitive, strong and beautiful performance.

  • Pure music. I love this stuff, only an incredibly talented woman, her guitar, and the emotions she conveys through her sensitive, strong and beautiful performance.

  • that was orgasmic.............!!!!

  • she sounds like Janis holy crap

  • DAMN!!!! TOTALLY AMAZING....THIS LADY HAS GOT TALENT. WTG MELISSA,and TY for Honoring Janis with such respect.

  • Melissa is at her best covering Janis...pity...

  • I completey agree...what the hell is wrong with this audience??? Unbelievable. 

  • @Treb345 Maybe they were captivated by the awesomeness that is of Melissa Etheridge!

  • @Treb345 I think they were just stunned into silence.

  • epic screach

  • She rocked that!

  • Don't need no lip sync either!

  • Πάρτε ένα άλλο κομμάτι της καρδιάς μου, αν σας κάνει να νιώσετε καλά

    

  • pure awesomeness!

  • her singing this song is powerful and soulful... !and wonderful!! thank you for posting :)

  • God Given Talent - I can see Janis saying with a big smile and sighs of joy saying, "Oh Lordy", "dang girl", "ttaaaake a piece of my heart" !...

    That is beautiful thunder, heartfelt, earth shaking talent. Luv ya girl...........

  • Uh.............wow. :D

  • That kind of emotion and passion comes from way down deep in her soul. Fabulous version, so raw and intense, electrifying performance. Great Post.

  • wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwww!

  • it was such an experience for me hearing this! awesome!!

  • Dusty Springfield recorded best version. No oversinging but a gorgeous blend of rock smoke and soullful cream in her tone that noone else can hope to match

  • Fantastic!

  • Can you BELIEVE this used to be on MTV?! We went from this to Snooki.

  • Melissa can do no wrong - she is just a gifted musician and great singer.

    Seen her live a few years back - we sat about 6 rows back - fan"fucking"tasic.

  • YOU SHOULD HEAR THE ERMA FRANKLIN VERSION IS REALLY GOOD! OWE SHE IS THE ORIGINAL SINGER.....I LOVE MELISSA TOO...SHE PUT ON THIS SONG HER SPECIAL STYLE.

  • I almost cried when i heard this. That was probably better than the original if have to be quite honest. Way to rock girlfriend. You iz a beast

  • FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!! The ONLY singer that could do this justice

  • They both know/knew how the rock!

  • Here im Brasil.. I like!!!!!

  • nessuno riesce a cantare cmq janis!!!!!

  • I can't believe those people are just sitting their. Are they deaf?

  • Amazing ....

  • melissa is amazing!!!!

  • @79rockstar and always the best....

  • Do yourself a favor, check this out

    Piece Of My Heart - Vanessa Amorosi

  • @whipthedog the performance at live lounge was the best version anyone has EVER done

  • This rules!

  • also so positive energy... youtube.com/watch?v=Nfmy8mWeMo­s

  • she is so adorable... youtube.com/watch?v=Abi5WUpfz0­o&feature=related

    4:50 she really .... melts my heart

  • she is amazing watch that passion .... youtube.com/watch?v=Nfmy8mWeMo­s

  • can't say anything... she owned me in all way.... love and respect for that! i think there's nothing better out there... i'd even prefer this to janis, and i am a great janis fan... Melissa owns

  • This Woman can sing! Melissa is probably the only person who can do justice to this song. Janis reborn.

  • @jfreesprt shes good but that's a big statement ,, go looking and you will see there's a lot of them and many better ..

  • @jfreesprt look up  Rúzsa Magdi janis joplin on the tube .....

  • @ratrodralphy i suppose Ruzsa Magdi is good too, but there is more to singing than singing the notes, Melissa has the Spirit, the Soul.....still, no one will be Janis except Janis.

  • @jfreesprt Totally agree. If Melissa's emotions were any rawer here, there'd be blood and tears on the stage. The beauty and the agony Janis gave us are amply reflected in this performance. One thing you can't EVER say about Melissa: she's skimming over the emotion of a song.

  • Janis is singing again!!!! Fantastic cover!!! I LOVE IT!!

  • The Rock Legend.

  • she must be playing at a corpse convention.

  • I thought she was one of those "drippy" country-singers????? WOW + WOW !!!! That performance 'Knocked Me' to the floor ! ! ! THAT WOMAN ROCKS ! ! !

  • Im a huge fan and lover of Janis Joplin and this is the best cover of Piece of my Heart i've ever heard.....The first time i heard Melissa she remined me of Janis

  • was auch immer sie ist , melisa ist eine grossartige Musikerin ..love

  • My girl totally owned this song. It was the most props I've seen the greatet, Janis, given to date!!

  • Sounds so Janis. Awesooome. ^:)^ I wish I was born during these times, esp during Janis'. I don't like music today that much.

  • @mgcustado06 me too only 25, thank god my dad listened to all the old stuff when i was a kid love him so much for that

  • Sweet! love pink's version& this one

  • Janis would be proud !!!

  • Those morons just standing there obviously don't know talent if it bit them in their a*^%s. Melissa owned this song and I would have been rocking out to this song if I was there just like I did listening to this in the privacy of my own place.

  • Stunning performance!!!

  • Melissa, eres lo mejor, lo mejor, tu voz es ESTUPENDA

  • i am sooo thankful melissa won her battle with cancer. thank god she does not do drugs like Janis, Janis was so young and to die all ALONE!
