She also said "you gotta let me sung this one" ... she was not referring to every song she's ever written. I have been to MANY Ani concerts and people sing along with plenty of songs ... without being scolded. Her newest song "Which Side Are You On" is a sing-a-long for sure.

A paying concert goer is paying to hear the headliner, not the person sitting next to you. If she can hear you from the STAGE then imagine what it must sound like to someone trying to listen from the audience.

And I dont think I'm done ranting yet....when you profit from our love and appreciation for your music, I feel its not within your right to dictate who also sings it aloud. Damn. OK, I think I'm done repeating myself.

@francisdenw My reaction to what you and some others are writing is that when I pay a lot of money to see and hear an artist play I really want to hear them and the subtle nuances that they put into that performance and it is more of a courtesy to others in the audience. As a musician who sings from the heart I do agree with her. I do not think it is necesaarily about ego. I just wanted to state a different angle of the situation.

@francisdenw Youuu,honey are so full of shit. Ani does not ask for you to come to her shows and sing. Just because she writes folk music and engages with her audience, doesn't mean it's a pow wow. do you come to enjoy the talent or come to hear yourself be fucking disrespectful during a less than cheerful song.

@francisdenw I'm also not done ranting. I've been to a show where she stopped to say when mamma can't hear herself play, she has to strain, and it fucks with her physically. Ani works her ass of to get your dismal amount of money. Shut up.

I disagree to her reaction in this video. Whether you like it or not Ani, you are a folksinger and you tell stories. I love your stories, I get excited about hearing them, excited about singing them, excited about hearing them sang in public. When I yell...whoop...sing aloud with you its my way of sharing my love for you and your songs/stories. If thats truely still an issue for you I'll be glad to stop buying tickets to attend your shows and sing aloud...instead I'll downlowd and sing at home.

@Thekidsgotheart I can understand where she's coming from. The song's about a person that ripped your heart our and doesn't care. She's an extremely personal songwriter, and I can see how she wouldn't want anyone relating to it. Some songs are just for the singer, same way some jokes are only for the comedian :)

Ani, get over yourself. People sing to your songs. That was the most ignorant thing I ever heard from an artist on stage.

This song has made me an Ani fan. I saw her in 03, and that didn't do It for me, but this song is amazing. I'm just not sure if I've ever heard of a male fan of hers, just dudes that got dragged along like i was last time.

@cvframer I'm a fan and I'm male! I've been a fan of Ani's for about six years... I fell in love with her the first time I heard her.

Hermosa, intensa. una de mis canciones favoritas de Anita. Excelente cuando les pide que la dejen cantar "this one".

I sing along because I feel it too. You’re never alone in that ‘emotional.. place.’ No matter how alone you feel.

This song is just so intense. It grabs my heart and squeezes every single time I hear it.

When I first heard this song, I just thought about what a great song it is. Now, when I hear it, it makes more sense and it's almost painful. Her story is her own, but I couldn't have said it better. But I am gonna keep trying.. bahaha.. writers can't just stop writing.
