If i had an unlimited amount of money i would have bid and had her sing... sing a song. I wouldnt torture her with my first choice, Unintended by Muse. :)
I love imogen heap, and I have seen tori many many many times, over the years, and I love how imogen heap is covering this song. as I have seen her live many times as well.
Actually Calico, when Tori forgets her lyrics it is pretty obvious... she uses profanity a fair amount of time. I have been to many many many shows since 92... I beg to differ. But, it is all good.... glad you have seen her live. It is indeed an experience! Especially when she forgets lyrics or yells at someone in the audience.
Actually Calico, when Tori forgets her lyrics those who know her well and have seen her many many times as well as those who not go to as many shows know that Tori makes it very obvious. Mostly with her favorite word f*ck.
@DavidB5501 no worries brah, all good. I'll probably end up linking to those vids later, when I don't feel as lazy. I seriously didn't think my vid was any good and wasn't going to post it if not for everyone amping about the cover on Facebook. I thought I'd be nice and give them some relief. :)
@DavidB5501 Yup, the other video has better sound and picture, but it's actually easier to hear the whole song on this video. Thanks for posting!
Fantastic cover! Imogen made it her own, which is cool, especially considering this song was written by a woman who, when it comes to completely transforming other people's songs, was definitely a trailblazer.
mcharge2 has posted a video with better sound and picture quality. Search for 'imogen heap cornflake'.
There is also a clip headed something like 'imogen heap - bizarre onstage mutterings' (!) where she explains the background, and says she only heard the choice of song at 4.00 that afternoon.
@Kopunited Yes, he was having some technical difficulties that shortened what he could do in his act--but yeah he was a cool dude. He's supporting her in all her shows everywhere.
It's disappointing because the best part of CFG is the piano and Immi is a fantastic piano player. WTF? She could have knocked the piano solo out, but she does a simple loop for the background. I get she was trying to go for the loungey-techno vibe on this.. but it just didn't work live.
Maybe she did only hear the song earlier that day, which I frankly find hard to believe, but I am sorry Immi, I love you, but if some dude pays $4000 to hear you play a song-LEARN THE F**KING WORDS!!!!
@CalicoCupcakes If Tori needs a lyric sheet for when she's singing her own songs, then what's the problem with someone using a lyric sheet when covering one of Tori's songs?
@iamstephenliu You have kind of a point - Tori doesn't use lyric sheets when she is doing her own songs, that's for sure. She does, however, sometimes forget a few words of her songs, but usually manages to make it not very noticeable. Tori sometimes uses lyric sheets when covering other songs, but its on the piano she sits at, which makes it way less obvious. But I love Immi, I saw her on the second show of this tour at the Filmore in SF (with lots of mess ups, which was great)
@iamstephenliu um... ya I just said that the lyric sheets in the piano are for covers. I have seen Tori over 20 times, she doesn't use lyric sheets for her own songs... if she did,, she probably wouldn't forget the lyrics to them, as I mentioned. She keeps a set list in the piano, and lyric sheets for covers... not her own songs. AND my point was.. it's still not as obvious as Immi. But whatevs
Someone could give me $1,000,000 and that doesn't mean I'd necessarily be able to perform a certain song, vocals AND instruments, for them in such a small span of time.
Considering the circumstances this is damned good (and not considering them it's still pretty good).
I like the cover. She's a freaking tech demon...to be able to whip up a cover out of air is amazing. It's a little flat, but who else can program and improvise a cover like that? Imogen <3
see when your camera is broken... the quality is junk :P and you didn't even take good pictures for me to see either.. haha you shoulda just took my camera with you and I coulda bought a new one.
In case this seems a bit weird, the background is that some guy won a charity auction for Immi to sing him 'the song of his choice', and he chose this one!
What a crap!
