i can't believe this is a Millie Jackson cover!!!(i first heard him sing this song @ summerstage in central park along with see-line woman by nina simone!).
it's kinda hard to watch his movements in the "mood" that his songs have... i think it distracts you away from the power of the music, lyrics and vocals. I find it easier to just close my eyes and imagine the dark mood of the song without having to witness the movements. Great song, great artist and amazing voice though.
I saw Antony & the Johnsons about 12 times in 2001 and told everyone I knew he was going to be bigger than Boy George one day. He use to dress like a pixey hobo with a faux-hawk bleached blonde. Standing on stage twitching and contorting vulnerably. It truely was life changing to see him the first time and I was there when he invited Laurie Anderson & Lou Reed to see him do Candy Says. Laurie compared it to seeing Elvis for the first time. More like Liz Fraser & the Cocteau Twins. Beautiful.
He feels the music and that's why he moves i guess.
I think people are ashamed when they watch an other person(or themselves!) dance or act a bit different from what THEY are used to...but this is freedom! It's still easier to judge, then to let people just 'be'. Sadly enough.
i absolutely loved this song that night and tonight... i since i didn't hear he introduced it as a Millie Jackson song...i kind of thought it was a new baby...still i hope he'll put it on the next one anyways....amazing....thank you!

If Liz Fraser and Antony would do this song as a duet, I would be the happiest man on the planet. I absolutely LOVE them both.

Amazing!
I don't find his moving strange at all.
He feels the music and that's why he moves i guess.

I love Antony SO much!
He has an amazing voice... just amazing.
If I could ever ask a favor of him though, it would be to not try and dance.
I love him though!
