Tori Amos - Cornflake Girl

[salvolondon]

She mut be very good live, but i wonder why she dresses so bad

[pmanning46]

what a performance! amazing! I'd give my arms to play piano like that.

[TheCopyfree]

ONLY A WORD FANTASTIC!!!!!!

[robobrow]

Holy shit that was amazing!

[fullgainable]

4;42,if you are a musician on any level,thats where you want to be !

[EldritchElderflower]

Lovely version! Thanks for uploading it ^.^

[LadyLotus74]

I'm sorry but I'm not getting the personal life connection. Were you all talking before I got here? LOL

Anyway, I've been listening to Tori since 1993. I adore her poetry, and her talent. She is awesome.

[pattitaniguchi]

u to silly a haa hee sounds beatifull u laugh makes all lol lol ,,u look happy anyhow dealing with u problems

[PaulKrow]

Way to go hold that fucking camera still, however that was. Good job! 

[dianka1977]

cudowna, pierwotna Tori:)dająca tyle emocji!szkoda, że już teraz tak się nie pokazuje jak wtedy...zmieniła się, poszła w komercję (patrz jej oficjalna strona i fotki)Ale i tak będę do niej wracać:)

[kkg76]

fucking awesome

[krokodaxl76]

she's playing the piano like a goddess!

[deepincoma]

Awwww, that's AMAZIN'!

Would love the tab for the guitar part...

And a chance to play it along with Tori. =)

... Alas, that second bit is never gonna happen. =P

[deepincoma]

@KristopheTheSaint Uh, no. It isn't. I mean look at the dates... Cornflake Girl was on Under The Pink which was released 1994... Jawbox did a cover of it on an secret track released in 1996. Get your facts right, dude.

[jamMatther]

'dew drop inn'... that's such a good name for a tori tour.

[elpornero53]

the way she sits on the chair...so restless,i love it.

[pepebrio]

esta wea la caaaagó!!

[RobertGary1]

Funny, I just saw the cornflakes commercial she did back in the 80's !! :)

[raymond08586]

Cornflake girl is her best.

[seattletaytay]

awesome. she's always been awesome.

[Lighteye67]

Saw her in Tampa on this tour...2nd row, 20' away from her. Amazing show.

[rocktunes]

Great playing Tori! (The Beekeper rocks and is a great album, by the way!)

[DigitalGhost94]

i love this song an i love the video where some girls tie up this guy or is it cooks him in a pot or something like that and their out in the desert... its awesome. i first heard this im not sure where but probably when i was very little then i heard it again on the graham norton show and found it was very familiar and got her album back then which was tales of a librarian and have purchased every album since, im hooked. i love welcome to sunny florida the fans looks so friendly.

[relfexreaction]

i wish she'd done more rock music - i feel like there's a talent gone to waste :)

[ffincz]

waste? after these 10 different albums she recorded, when each one is a single masterpiece (yes, including the most criticizied Beekeeper)? I think she's aware of her talent and still grows up, changes as her spirituality does.

[DigitalGhost94]

omg i love the beekeeper album it's the best.

[emmyvic]

Absolutely fantastic... This is my all time fave song - I would give anything to see this live

[carleyrocks1]

ultimate price in honesty and brutal music the emotion is so raw its hard to watch and fathom

[CCarmen]

how do you recover or even survive from seeing something like this live??? I wouldn't be able to, life is wise to not have put me there then, I'd have transcended and died at 12! AWESOMENESS!

[brakie1978]

Shes a great artist but wouldnt go that far :S

[maxp303]

Firstly I'd thank you nothingbutmeat for supplying a great version of the song.

But for all those discussing Tori Amos's private life shame on the lot of you and have some respect. This is not the place for such discussion. What if Tori Amos read your posts? She is still a living person with feelings. This song is one of the better things that happened in her life and you are all pulling skeletons out of her closet. How would you like that done to you. Shame on you.

[nothingbutmeat]

You're welcome!

[triplettam]

@maxp303 First, I don't know what you're talking about, but that may be because I only scrolled down so far. Second; If someone tried to make a link between Tori's personal life and this song or her music, than I am completely with you. My favorite actor as a child was John Wayne. When I realized what his politics were I disagreed with him, but he's still one of my favorite actors. Tori--like Kate-- transcends paradigms.

[kreed1]

You Guys got nothing better to do then hate,no? Love the music or hate it~but man life is to short for bitchin.....at each other the funny part is proably in person you would be best freinds or at least respect each other! Haha True~

[darbet83]

is she nuts.????she is the best though...love her

[calcurox]

I think the correct answer to this question is yes, she is. But you're right, she's the best.

[darbet83]

haha thought so....how cool is she live,,maybe we should exchange nuts for eccentric though!!!!

[TweenerSongs]

To all my fellow Tori fans: isn't she wonderful? I happen to be a chick who writes music on piano as well, I'm no Tori, but I would love some feeback from real music fans. If anyone has a second, please check out my videos.

[darbet83]

i checked out your music..........well cool and keeeep it upp!!

[zappyhod]

Crazy red head...Good musician though.

[TITTOTTA]

she's fantastic!!!!i love her

[WildCherry7777]

who is yktr

[nothingbutmeat]

YKTR read is Y Kant Tori Read, the band that Tori was in before she began her solo career with Little Earthquakes. They released one album.

[jazzhopin]

fantastic songwriter and pianist; but i never was a fan of her quirky stage performances

[kushnarenko]

adore her

[daryljoseph777]

wow!! never seen such passion...!! where did you get this video?

[nothingbutmeat]

Don't remember, cyberspace somewhere...

[coffeescup]

this has made me feel so free and happy!

[daryljoseph777]

i coudl'nt agree more...

such beauty..such passion on music...cornflake girl really drives me in tears...of joy

[AntonyL92]

shut up

[fionasapple]

it's not a secret u know. she's written a song about it so obviously she wants people to knpw what she's been through

[AntonyL92]

yeah but she does'nt want fannys like him blabing about it to everyone.

[fionasapple]

i'm sorry, i must have missed the part where she says that. did she?

or is this purely an uneducated guess at what tori would have wanted?

[AntonyL92]

well i dont know who do you know or have heard of that is 100% comfortable with talking about how they where raped?

[fionasapple]

actually, i know a person who..."flaunts it". mentioning it at every possible occasion.

but that's sort of an exception.

Tori talks about this in an interview that's seen all around the WORLD. and in a song that's also heard all around the world. to me, that's a sign that you're comfortable with something. (to the extent that u don't mind the whole world knowing about it)

so although "she was raped" was a very random & unnecessary comment, it wasn't wrong or offensive to T

[AntonyL92]

Not true\ in another interview she said how long it took her to come to terms with it and how much help she had to get and that she still has nightmares about it if i find it again il send you the link if you want ? just thought it was quite a shity thing to say randomly i mean its not any of his buisness is it ?

[DigitalGhost94]

this must have been a while ago cos this makes no sense to me, eirther way it's tori's trauma and tori's demons i dont think she'd appreciate fans airing her personal hell with complete and utter hate mungers and fans alike, it's pretty ufair as she's not hear to defend herself.

[0371998]

sa rince raide son Piano!

I love her Style OUé!

[0371998]

nice song nice Lady

[neptunecello]

She is such an effin' bad ass.

[Just2pisUoff]

what a weirdo

[AntonyL92]

Shut the fuck up if you dont like her dont watch the video IDIOT!!!

[Just2pisUoff]

don't contact me again you fag.

[AntonyL92]

Or what ?? What you gonna do, you want my address and we can sort this out? we will see who the fag is

[sybietube]

A true musician

She's living music for a life, fanscinating me for years!

[alishacail]

love her

[Nemergussis]

hahahaha what the f***k she's doing on the beginning of the song?!

hahaha, oh, god, i love this woman

[dollyrots49]

i LOVE her!! she is so talented! me and my mom think she is great!!! :-)

[Gioacchino4]

My GOD! i say...

[alvabeli]

i cant explain how much i love this song, i love her voice in it, but must of all i love the piano solo... she´s an amazing artist and a truly amazing pianist...

[Raiderfn31]

BEST

[Urlande]

awsome, she's just great, incredible song

[lesvegas5]

i really really like this version ..

[sapostol1]

She says: "For those of you who don't know... this wonderful person is Caton and... we've been together... uh... since Y Kant Tori Read, if any of you knows(?) that..." or something like this.

[CherryLipsRock]

i love you tori

[pudd750]

she hits the highs like she did when the song was studio-- nice

[neptunecello]

the dance = "yo heave ho"; that's what I think anyway.

[HappyChic727]

I love how Tori's songs have evolved but this is a nice version. What was that dance about? She's crazy and that's what makes her Tori Amos and my favorite artist ever!

[fletchmob]

Great Voice!!Seems Rather Witchlike.

[dysis]

I've been looking for videos of Cornflake Girl where we see Tori's hands on the piano! Thanks.

Tori almost seems crazy sometimes, but oh my gosh I love her! She's such a great artist.

[mobbyplay]

Kate...Can you do this? Most erotic girl on a piano

[gredennia]

aw don't insult kate...

[shazscrap]

she's a musical genius...

[EvilPrince69]

Can't get this video. Tried over last couple days on 3 different computers in 2 geographically-different spots.

[mamamcqueen]

My jaw is on the floor.

[utube4mi]

I never saw someone dance (!) at the piano like this. I love to listen her music anyway, but here I'm mostly impressed by what I get to see. I didn't believe that it is possible to play a classical "have-to-sit-at-instrument" this rather ecstatic, erotic way.

[BetoWater]

OMGOOOOOOD She's AMAZING!!!

[the1duck]

this thing is poetry

[bebopnjazz]

THANK YOU NBM!!! I have been looking for a clean view of her keyboard on Cornflake Girl: One of the most sophisticated pop piano compositions in the last 40 yrs (IMO one has to go back to Bernstein). this shows just how much more talented Tori is than any of her peers.

[louvregroove]

Just posted a version of Cornflkae Girl Tori Amos Live in Chicago Nov. 5 2007

[HreNmyhead]

very nice very nice

[entresz]

your a fruit cake

[entresz]

Hey I didnt write that under my name absolutely love tori amos

[nothingbutmeat]

Tori has described it as being about betrayal among women. The cornflake girls are the ones who betray, the ones whom you find a lot of in the cereal box. The raisin girls are harder to find but they are the ones who refuse to play the backstabber role that the patriarchy make them play. Female genital mutilation is normally done by women and it is the mothers who take the daughters to be mutilated.

[natashaclaire]

ah, thanks for that info. I'd heard about it being about female circumcision, but never knew those other details. That's clever!;)

[boisemoi]

the lyrics are about femail circumcise

[DarthFenian]

I've always had a crush on her.

[DynamoOpenAir1993]

Some lyrics you shouldn't explain. Some you just get, some you don't.

[skyzzata16]

but what does it mean cornflake girl? and the raisin girls?who are?

[MARIAROCKSON]

Hey visit Wikipedia and search for the song:Cornflake Girl and then you will find a page that says some facts about this song and really explains what the lyrics mean....!!!=]=]=]=]

[skyzzata16]

thankk youuu

[lilacbird]

the songs about female circumcision

[slg8611]

"This is not really happening

You bet your life it is" :))))

[slg8611]

it's sooo much different from the CD version, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!! :) beautiful voice, beautiful PIANO :) excellent, no one compares ...

[zanyf69]

she´s a bloody nutter!! :)

[CatherineIX]

I love the song but what's it about? is she making references to alice in wonderland??

[JunsuiKibou]

AMAZING!

[videolovertwenty]

she is so talented

[ChelloBello]

This is by far my favorite Tori song. Man she is amazing! She sounds gorgeous in this video. I just love her.

[sorcerer101567]

Was this tour in support of Boys For Pele?

[nothingbutmeat]

It was.

[SallyNightShade]

What is she doing with that piano?! She doesn`t play it with her fingers, she plays with her soul...

[jebbyday]

I think this is oakland 96?

[nothingbutmeat]

It is.

[sadclown6666]

She's So Special!

[1ChordAway]

she stares right at u! great video, and great performance, as always! thanks!

[fionasapple]

the angle is just great!!!

[tenderbloodrose]

Awesome performance.

[AnnLeiani]

Yet another awsome Tori vid from my meat friend :)

[Doberman101]
