Tori Amos - Britney Spears "Baby One More Time" Cover

[jackedup1707]

go Tori!!! She makes ANYTHING sound AMAZING!!!

[talulafairie]

She really did make this song AMAZING. But that's really not that surprising if you ask me because a. Tori Amos is a bit of a genius when it comes to covers and b. Britney Spears had the best people in the industry writing her songs and music. Not shocking that a very talented artist could do something really great with her songs,

[mvasa37]

very Tori!

[kofemord]

very good interpration

[nitiboonkongton]

เริดอะ

[Sharmilka]

I've never thought this song can bring me to tears. Wow.

[orisikins]

Very nice interpretation, thank God it doesn't sound like the original.

[MsLillyFay]

Wow this is... I really love Tori, but this is really not good..

[69jenniferlove]

this is awesome

[cmauffray1]

say what you will about britney, but this is a damn amazing song...a piece of pop perfection. and tori shows the dark side of the lyrics to it beautifully.

[huitzil07]

what was tori's reaction to the Joni mitchell? The hair on her body? Was that in reference to that.. or.??

[Vindrag]

Amazing.

[thatPinkFlamingo]

This is awesome.

[Sarahon06]

Wow....she really can do it all...

[FuckYourGodYourLord]

I think she chose this song because the lyrics are emotionally fucked up and then Britney got really sick and doesn't get a break from the cameras and Tori feels sorry for what she had to go through.

[jenniferxcheck]

I'm so sick of people bashing Britney Spears honestly she wasn't autotunned in this song and back in the day she sang it live and she co- wrote the song you're all enjoying right now. Honestly just give the girl the respect she deserves.

[TearInTheirHands]

@jenniferxcheck Brit did not co-write ...BOMT. But yeah, the original definitely wasn't autotuned. I don't even think AutoTune was popular in 1999.

[a6obillo]

"I don´t know any of the fucking songs I play"... genius.

[snappycruise]

not a cover,, ut a transformation

[informatist]

It's important to note that she used this song as a sort segue into "Maybe California" which she wrote about suicide, spousal abuse, empty nest syndrome and a struggling economy.

[lutalice]

@informatist i really dont think its about spousal abuse!!

[informatist]

@lutalice - you're right. I must have inferred that part from something else entirely. But Tori did say that Maybe California is about maternal suicide and a struggling economy. The song is written from the perspective that she's trying to offer hope to any wife or mother who might be considering suicide.

[hikost]

Tori is genius

[TheKuatrech]

She is so good at covers...nearly always better than the original. Talent and emotion, love her

[feenix789]

she's incredible.



[RevivingRichelle]

I love this!

[RevivingRichelle]

Does she not use the sustain petal? I never see her use it and i don't know how she can get the piano to sound like that without using it.

[torikilledmymonkey]

@RevivingRichelle She uses it all the time ... with her left foot.

[ZacharyLC]

I was expecting a disaster with this, and as always, Tori delivers something that is fucking genius!!! Blows the original away!

[biso1biso2]

The lyrics so much suit Tori's emotional performance...

[Yetaxa]

I wonder if she can do this kind of thing with Friday...

[modeserpent]

DAMN..... she just owned her own song in front of millions of people. YOU GO TORI!!!

[adambeckett1994]

great cover! please check out mine thanks alot!

[elajiera]

This version gives me shivers, so much better than Britney.. so deep.

[toriinprogress]

I don't even know the fucking songs I play...EPIC!

Totally brings something to it Brit never could. Good shit!

[Sherri2008]

She is fucking awesome!! What more can be said?? GO TORI!!!

[Opheliac666]

Holy Fucking Magical Goddess of Awesome! Wow!!!

[mariaradu1]

She generally rocks at covers, here she's ok, but not as good as Travis. I think Travis did the best cover of this song.

[olivethis]

@mariaradu1

Love Travis, but I gotta disagree, her arrangement changes the song in tone and meaning, and gave it this depth I didn't think was possible.

[Felktl09]

Britney is the freaking queen, end of story. Haters kiss my ass!

[fdaen]

And so a lame, regular, run-of-the-mill pop song becomes awesome.

Tori Amos... just wow.

[scg325]

I love how it was so quiet and as soon as she said oh baby baby the crowd started screaming lol

[tamararice]

Fuck, Tori. You never cease to amaze me. I wish you had this in an actual recording.

[kokym8]

wowww

i loved how the audience screamed so loud when she started to sing

this song became classic pop

[espp1973]

Dreamy and kinda sexy =D.

[littlerainworm550]

why these people couldn´t shut up and listen.this yelling is really aannoyng.

[nunzianne]

Anytime she does a cover, she really makes me think about the song differently. I think that's what a real artist would do with a song. Love her more and more all the time ~ can't wait for the next round of new stuff!!

[MrSamross93]

this is amazing!

[siguros84]

i wish people would shut the fuck up and let her sing.

[laurielou2]

@siguros84

Every time they're like this. They don't know when to STFU.

[bpresslor]

@siguros84 I know! Some people aren't as versed in the " Tori Concert Code of Conduct" like we are :)

[WashedOYS]

Fucking. Epic.

[MrSamross93]

amazing cover!

[sarathebeast]

Holy fuck, did Tori just go and make Britney Spears sound classy?

[fmbeckham5]

@sarathebeast given the chance... tori could make even George W. sound classy.

[sixthcrusifix]

2:18 is where the singing actually starts.

[sixthcrusifix]

I so had this idea before Tori. I was actually partially depressed and completely amazed when I heard she covered it.

Great minds think alike I guess.

This is miles better than the original; this could have been on Strange Little Girls.

[peterm2686]

@sixthcrusifix Actually, this couldn't have been on Strange Little Girls—those were all covers originally performed by men.

[sixthcrusifix]

I know, I'm just saying it's a good enough cover that it deserves to be done in studio and produced on an album.

[peterm2686]

I absolutely agree! Didn't mean to come off as smart-assed :)

[sixthcrusifix]

Also, to be fair, this song was written by a man and originally intended for one of the popular boy bands at the time so it very-well could have been on Strange Little Girls.

[peterm2686]

Too bad it wasn't the case—It would've been one of the best songs on the album, I feel.

[larakellybean]

she could really j make the abc's song give ya the chills...f in goddesssssss...mine for 18 yrs

[OppositePocket]

NEED this on my Mp3.NEED :D

[imabimbo66]

This is what I call making lemonade out of lemons! Wow! I wouldn't watch this vid for so long, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tori. I just REALLY dislike Britney. So glad I watched. She really did it with feeling. Awesome!

[softrock1234]

People like Tori keep real music alive. Awesome.

[missclareremembers]

Oh. My. God.

This is just so fantastic!

[youbetyourlifeitis]

This is A-ma-zing!

Love it..

[AndrewA1988]

Wow, the song kind of creeps me out when the lyrics aren't glossed over by Britney's autotune.

[maybemab1]

@AndrewA1988 Except Britney started to have her voice more heavily processed in 2008. Suck it.

[carolaah]

Damn!! This is great! How she can turn such a messed up song in something good..

Gotta love what she's doing

[Doylefromhell]

This is spectacular, she can't be beat!

[lindseymero]

Thanks so much for doing that! Exactly what we were wanting!!! xoxo

[bombfactoryboy]

Thanks for the original video!

[PEST169]

I just posted a version that's the opposite of lindseymero's clip - pretty decent audio with bad, off-frame video. It doesn't have the opening dialog from the robertschrader clip, but the song sounds clear. Just thought I'd add into the mix...
