Joanna Newsom Live on Jimmy Kimmel - Audience Appalled

[woodforafire]

if this is their actual reaction they are all ignorant heathens with no discernment for real musical talent and they should all just die

[Beforeyouandme]

Some of you are right about her goods looks but you are entirely wrong about that being the only quality she has. I heard her music before I ever knew what she looked like and I'm sure there are plenty of people who discovered her exactly the way I had. She has had a great musical career and I hope it continues.

[zettberlin]

@vantagestudios I think you have all the right in the world to say: "that is not my cup of coffee, its is over-cultivated for my taste". I was just a little upset, that you made apodictic verdicts about things, that are just methods. There is nothing more "unnatural" as classical opera, so what about Mozart or Wagner? Escapism? Artificial crazyness to burst marketing? Just methods to do something like "Don Giovanni".

[zettberlin]

@vantagestudios So well, you dislike things artificial, right? Do you hate all these dudes too that have spent hundreds of training hours befor playing the guitar/piano/drums whatever in public?

Art is artificial, there is no such thing as being "authentic". To be authentic is just another way to be artificial.

[vantagestudios]

@zettberlin Not necessarily. I appreciate what comes naturally, especially if it is expressed in an artistic manner. Joanna Newsom has over-cultivated her vocal expression (and pretty much her whole professional / artistic demeanor) to boost her marketing potential. THAT'S what I dislike.

[vantagestudios]

ugh. This is fucking garbage. SO FAKE. How cultivated is that fake singing style? How many nights did she sit up experimenting with different ways of pronouncing her words like she had spent her whole life in Belgium or was born with a cleft palette? Of course she has neither and is just another pretty yank face with a bare modicum of talent on a cool instrument. Painfully disingenuous. Straight up bullshit.

[dunderheadflynn]

@vantagestudios you fuckin' toolbox. so you're saying not to use your voice like another instrument. just sing 'normally' and refrain from jumping out of the safe restrictions of what your voice is capable of? "lets not go crazy people. sing like normal people do". if you don't like the song and think her singing is shit, then fine. saying it is fake is a load of bullshit. there's nothing fake about manipulating your voice to give a song a certain sound or feel

[vantagestudios]

@dunderheadflynn It IS fake you fucking robot. To make it worse I heard her say in an interview that it just comes out naturally. What a pant load. If you're going to be a charlatan just so you can stand out in a crowd at least admit it. No one has an accent like that naturally unless they have a hair lip or grew up in Eastern Europe.

[dunderheadflynn]

@vantagestudios  I couldnt give a shit whether or not she said it comes out naturally. If it sounds good, it sounds good. if she spent years perfecting her style of singing so that it sounds intentionally like a crazy woman from Warsaw(not really getting the eastern european thing by the way) circa 1679 and claims its natural, then so be it. fair dues to dedicating so much time and effort to her craft if that is the case

[vantagestudios]

@dunderheadflynn She's dedicated time and effort to marketing angles. That's it. She's 80% looks and 20% art-talent. Ass-backwards ratio. A male counterpart would never get the time of day.

[dunderheadflynn]

@vantagestudios shes a good looking bird, who plays harp and has a different voice. we've gone from her voice to her marketing angles. marketing angles?? she writes popular music. shes signed to drag city records. an interesting label with a pretty big, well established roster. its natural this stuff will be reviewed and accessed by 100s of 1000s of people. lets face it, some bald lad, just as talented, with a dodgy comb-over, ain't gonna be as popular. sad, but true. the end.

[vantagestudios]

@dunderheadflynn True, and what is worse is that if that same bald geezer sang with an ultra stupid faked up accent he would be fucking crucified. She somehow gets away with it because she's hot. THAT marketability is what Drag City banks on. Not her talent -- which in my opinion is in question in anyway...

I appreciate artists who keep it real, and channel honesty and integrity. I'm not getting that from Newsom at all - but I capitulate she clearly dedicated time and effort.

[David82comic]

damn she plays good music but she needs to stop singing maybe find a friend or a helper.....i mean idk what to say who am i to criticize music? she deos more than i could ever do..so ....

[gweiss27]

The harp playing is absolutely beautiful. She's very talented in that regard, but her singing makes me wnt to stab my eardrums with ice picks, and I don't get the people say she is gorgeous. At best, she is simply weird looking.

[hihikelkel]

Okay, to those of you bitching about people who don't enjoy her music: She's a gorgeous, talented musician, but her voice can be really annoying to most people. I have TRIED to like her singing, but it just sounds horrible. It's fake and theatrical, I don't like it. I'm not the only one. I think she should just stick to instrumentals. Get over it.

[Jewleean16]

204 dislikes?!?!?!?!? She'a absolutely INCREDIBLE, such deep, meaningful, music and I'd like to see those 204 people play the harp...I personally LOVE Joanna Newsom but I understand everyone's entitled to opinions, but don't call her talent less because she is anything but!

[Zephollus]

You are tasteless idiots if you don't like the quality of origionality from Joanna newsom.

[greypillar]

She kind of reminds me of Billy Madison's derp voice

[AudioSuede]

The editing in this video is ridiculous and obvious. Yet Joanna still shines; it's a beautiful performance.

[xanfus]

this makes me mad......... i'm just glad that there's a huge fan base out there supporting her art. Yay for all of us!

[0m]

First of all, to everyone who's talking shit about Joanna? Shut the fuck up. Second of all, judging by the way her voice trembles, she sounds nervous. Wouldn't you be if you were performing your FIRST TELEVISED PERFORMANCE? ALONE? ALL EYES ON YOU? Go listen to the album version of this song and tell me it's bad. I dare you. Even if you end up changing your point of view, still, fuck you. Joanna Newsom is fucking incredible. And I listen to death metal, hardcore and crust punk. Eat a dick.

[OrlyI95]

@0m fuck yeah man its time for a change we must liberate the country make the border states one nation powerful then america hispanics must not be treated like shit anymore america is corupted.

[alyce380]

that is just how she sounds.. people are showing that they are idiots if they dont believe this is edited.. and they silence that obvious moment that the crowd begins clapping.. ahh... just as i suspected. Anywho.. who gives a damn about an idiot's opinion.. this is just more publicity for joanna! and she deserves it!

[BscarfaceM]

her voice is incredibly irritating

[mcnowski]

Joanna is an angel, absolute. WOW, here music is a gift for our souls uplifting. God bless you.

[FionnghulaThell]

wow. you can feel it in the music, in her performance that her strength in what she was doing, in being herself was amplified by the mockery and or disinterest of the crowd. It makes that performance a hundred times better seeing the crowd this time. Go Joanna!

[seigida]

You're pathetic for editing those meaningless scenes of idiots laughing and what not. Joanna is amazing and we all know it, Therefore you lose. (:

[goldensunchild]

@serenadescandal go fuck yourself this is a beautiful vid regardless

[serenadescandal]

@goldensunchild excuse me? i think you need to re-read what I said love.

[lukeifraser]

Her vocal style is different, but at least it sounds different than all those generic pop stars with great pipes, but no sense of originality.

[renimagery]

@pkil232

Yes, fair crack of the whip. I'm picking up what your putting down. Oh the things i've said in a moments of haste. I know there are all different kinds of talent. I know : )

[MrRichberry]

She is just so freakin' beautiful, it breaks my heart.

[somethingfreeforme]

just amazing. absolutely beautiful. just amazing...

[PeterVanNuis]

So beautiful, unique, refreshing, interesting, cool, etc,etc, Love this great, brave talent! Bravo !

[renimagery]

@jdunnatl might sound simple but at least you could almost decipher it moron

[renimagery]

@Toreen275 & @BLinDaTbESt I understand it’s made for the masses. Doesn’t mean I have to enjoy it. I quote from @BLinDaTbESt ‘Not every Gaga fan is a raging homo that runs around with no brain.’ True I agree, and have not meant to offend you – only give my opinion. The world would be a dull place in everyone loved gaga – hopefully that never happens. I myself am queer, so I could take offence to the ‘homo’ comment but I won’t because I don’t think that’s how you meant it.

[renimagery]

@Toreen275 @BLinDaTbESt Sorry if I offended you, but hold fast to my opinion-lady gaga is hapless talent–each to their own. I really think lady gaga produces a materialistic, propaganda type of music.I think her lyrics are empty even though she can technically sing, I find her voice grating.I don't think she is very sincere in what she does for her 'fans' and I almost don't believe her 'lgbt' support- it's for show-like adding more people to a friends list'oh there, i harnessed the gays-easy!'

[Underhill182]

Oh my god she is a living fairytale

[rep757npay]

Well I loved it, Joanna

[OrcaOrkestar]

boo

[oicwatudidthare]

Proof of edit at 2:02. Watch the girls laugh, then watch them laugh in reverse.

Also, ABC would never zoom in on people laughing/looking appalled. That's just bad for business.

[ISawLifeTwice]

Heh,ignorance.

Joanna Newsom is brilliant.

The audience however,is kind of pathetic.

She's the definition of intelligence.

[JerseyTeal]

*sigh*....you are pathetic.

[renimagery]

@jdunnatl nice one champ.

[HonkIfYouLoveBeer]

@wearingpurplenow I think people are disliking the "audience appalled" part... someone has clearly edited this video to make it look like the audience is reacting to JN (notice how the abc logo is in a different spot every time it "cuts" to the audience?)

[wearingpurplenow]

I cannot even believe anyone would even THINK about pressing dislike...This woman may be really wierd, but she is SOOO talented, and is such an interesting person. Her songs tell real stories unlike a lot of the popular music today. Joanna Newsom is AMAZING!

[imnotlookinganyway]

@wearingpurplenow They pressed dislike not because of Newsome (who is incredible, by the way) but because of the person who put this vid together to make it look like people hated her. Kimmel never shows the audience when performers are on the stage. This person who put this vid up obviously does not have an artistic bone in their body...

[poodonkey123]

@illsubanyone Dude, I understood, like, three words of that.

[illsubanyone]

dis bitch be getting wat she deseves wtf is dis gay ass shit fukn hell worst than justen beber fukn hell if i was their id of knoked her out lol fukn fags go lisen 2 reel music like ENIMEM

[mikol58]

Joanna is very young for a legend. Superb skills. I have no choice but to love her. The stupid crowd editting is not unlike un healthy germs.

[highestcount]

If you decide that you don't like Johanna Newsom based on an audience reaction... (the fake one here or the real one that it actually represents) you should probably stick to Britney.

[kong3355]

what a beautiful song

[Motherserpent]

Yeah your a dick DykeVanDickShow. Why edit this to make it seem like people don't like her? People love Joanna Newsom just like they should.

[kbcutie101]

okay, if you believe this oyu are really stupid. because on jimmy kimmel they never show the audience during performances.

[Dudemag]

lololol

[estrelladembicer]

the audience is fucking DISGUSTING. fuck all of those judgmental assholes

[bludg30n]

I never heard no fat lady.....

[labkr3w]

haha i had no concern for the audience, i was too busy falling in love

[veryartistic1]

I think you need to look around at people the next time you go to a show. The girls laughing wasn't as good, but the faces of people just watching is actually how most people look when a person performs. Did you notice the people clapping slowly along in the background of one of the shots? Unless you're comparing the reaction to an audience of some pop performance where people are screaming and fainting for god knows what reason. She's actually performing for adults, not teenagers.

[taktflows]

What a bunch of stupid bitches in the audience. FUCK THE HATERS.

[podunkest]

What, were they appalled that she can actually play one instrument? Let alone many. lol.

[2ubester2]

I think it's supposed to say "Audience applauded"

[setialphasix]

Hey, guess what, asshole? In your immature attempt to be a total dick, you gave 24,143 views of a kick-ass performance to all of us Joanna Newsom fans. Congratulations, douche, you fail.

[0r1nj]

@setialphasix well said dude ..goodness wins out over all !

[MsGayJesus]

Go HARP on someone else!

[MsGayJesus]

Surprise! Every artist is different!

[nicklikestubey]

Idiot

[royhaworth]

At least you didn't mess with the audio, which meant that I was able to enjoy a wonderful performance.

[AAnneC]

sounds like shes trying to sound like cocorosie

[MysticSkySpirit]

I know this a fake made by some loser but even if it were real at 2:02 I'd be like gutted none of those fake barbie dolls can even come close to joanna's beauty ^_^

[Goldpeople1]

BULLSHIT!



[cowshedmusic]

wow...someone has far far far too much time on their hands!



[EatchoCow]

Ef-Ay-Kay-Ee.

[ARedheadedLass]

Imagine how much strength you'd have to have to get in front of all those people who are used to listening to Chris Brown and perform in such a heart felt and unique way as they laugh in dumbfounded idiocy.

[AgileTablet]

aha. 3:02. caughtcha.

[renimagery]

Most of the people who watch this show are probably fans of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Jay Z ..and other talentless entrepreneurs who make music for the mases in order to make money. They actually hate their own music.

That's why these people don't actually understand what real music is. Also Joanna is very lyrical and smart, so half of them probably don't understand the words.

eg. 'Why isn't this about booty dancing and hitting bitches??!'

[coolangel834]

@renimagery ha ha, well said. :)

[BLinDaTbESt]

@renimagery I'm an avid fan of Gaga, and my love for Joanna Newsom and her music are undying. So to sit there and say a Gaga fan has no appreciation for good music is snide and just wrong. The first song I heard by Joanna was Sprout and the Bean, and I have been listening to her ever since, about maybe 3 or 4 years now. Just because 99% of humans are corrupt, doesn't mean the last 1% no longer exist. Not every Gaga fan is a raging homo that runs around with no brain.

[pkil232]

@renimagery i'm going to assume that youve listened to those artists extensively to make such a judgment. im a HUGE jay-z fan and ive just found out about joanna newsom but i dont see why both cant be talented. pop fans think alternative music is weird and alternative fans think pop/hip hop is soulless. instead of coexisting, each side has to try and tear the other apart. who cares, just listen to what you want, no one is forcing jay-z or katy perry on you so why attack them preemptively?

[MrNicker105]

@pkil232 could you imagine a jay-z/Joanna Newsom mash up???? put some of his beats behind it and they would kill it!! It would be like a crazy abstract version of empire state of mind!!! haha

[PancakeRecipes]

@renimagery

Ya it's not cause she makes crazy person faces and has a voice like a drunk 6 year old girl on drugs.

[dragonflyshards]

@PancakeRecipes This is her natural & unaffected voice-which has changed a lot since this recording.And i guess you also dont like any of (all of)the great guitarists who likewise make crazy person faces when they play...But then,with only shit-for-brain,you probably prefer music made with synthesizers & autotune.

[PancakeRecipes]

@dragonflyshards

Wow how'd you know?

[renimagery]

All these bitches are just hypnotised and brainwashed by FOX NEWS crap and it's become them. It's not fault they don't know what real talent is. I pity them.

[jdunnatl]

@renimagery Stop worrying about Fox News and go back to school, renimagery. The system has failed you.

[ittspitts]

Re-edit this video. No old people looking, no pointless young girls laughing (what? Yes, why put that in) and please just her. By herself, such a great performance

[blkgryphon]

I just "discovered" Joanna the other day: heard "Good Intentions Paving Company" on CBC radio. LOVED it, think it is gorgeous and brilliant, and think the girl is a genius. However, I don't care for this song.

[cranie4]

@blkgryphon Give it time. It will grow on you just like it did for me :) This album (her first and my current favorite) is her most adventurous, stripped down and open compared to the second and third. She was singing in her baby/Bjork type voice but even that becomes endearing.

[charlieharlot]

i wanna get a big dog and feed those blonde chicks to it.

[werewoofer]

holy crap morons, this video has been reedited.

[richardsimones]

It's not like her vocals were terrible. They were pretty normal by her standards.

[chosentonessournotes]

But yeah, anyone taking this seriously... You people realize the dude makes Youtube poops right? This is kinda his job. Get over it already.

[akechi77]

Notice how the audience members that are clapping in time at 3:23 are not even remotely in time with the audio. Notice how the actual video had already been posted before this poor edit. I've never seen anyone go to this length with negativity- my assumption is that Mr. Dyke's ex liked her.

[chosentonessournotes]

The audience's reaction was that of my own. I still think that anyone who enjoys this bitch doesn't know what music really is.

[asianmatt2012]

@chosentonessournotes

Please, explain to everyone what music is if you consider what Joanna Newsom puts out isn't music.

[chosentonessournotes]

@asianmatt2012 Well, I can see you're a typical hipster so let me put this into words you can understand... Maybe her harp playing can be considered music, because she IS quite talented with that. It's beautiful and very passionate playing. The singing on the other hand... Hearing her normal voice compared to her singing voice, she tries too hard. She has the typical hipster voice. Why she feels the need to sing that way is beyond me. I think if she sang normally, she'd be good.

[asianmatt2012]

@chosentonessournotes

You use the term "hipster" far to much to make a decent argument. There's plenty of styles of singing and not only one way. I mean, singers like Shakira, who also have weird singing voices are accepted very easily by everyone. I don't see the problem with Joanna's voice, it's just a lot different from the norm.

[chosentonessournotes]

@asianmatt2012 I just don't like it. Hipster is the only word I can think of. Same with that chick, I think the name of the group is Pomplamoose... They all have that same vocal sound. I just can't get into it. I think it's terrible. To each his own.

[asianmatt2012]

@chosentonessournotes

I'm sure there are people who enjoy her music who wouldn't be considered a hipster. But anyways, it's okay if you don't like her music. That's fine. Nataly Dawn from Pomplamoose sounds absolutely nothing like Joanna Newsom, although she is a great singer as well. But just because you don't like a certain singer doesn't mean you should come on their video and make fun of them. That's just pointless and shows how much you know about what "music" really is.

[chosentonessournotes]

@asianmatt2012 Ok, I'll be the first to admit that my dislike of singers like this doesn't give me the right to not call it music. I mean, if we can call shit like Daughters (Canada Songs) and Brokencyde music, then this is most certainly music. Please note that it's not that I don't think these women/people are untalented, because that is NOT the case... I just feel they're not using their vocals to their fullest extent. Like that Nataly chick. I just feel she's holding back. That's all it is.

[chosentonessournotes]

@asianmatt2012 So yeah, I apologize for being a bit brash and bashing others' musical tastes, and for making generalizations of the word, "hipster." I guess it's different wherever you're from, because here, the only people that listen to stuff like this are definition hipster. So yeah man, my bad, we cool?

[McManatee]

@chosentonessournotes Aw, you're cute. You're a Katy Perry fan, huh? To each his own, bud.

[chosentonessournotes]

@McManatee Wait... What? Where the fuck do you get that I like Katy Perry from? I listen to shit like Converge, Between The Buried And Me, Dance Gavin Dance, Tides Of Man, Emarosa... I may hate this bitch, but one thing I am NOT is a fan of Katy Perry, or any music like it at all.

[vishuiqual]

She is so pretentious and very over-rated. The people and their reaction is normal to someone who is over-rated.

[h0merg0mez]

Could have been funny but you did a terrible job.

[thetoothhurts]

great editing job, loser

[rudetiller]

I'll have to remember to avoid any posts by "TheDykeVanDickShow". To mislead people by claiming this to be actual reactions to Joanna's music is criminal. If you don't care for her, don't listen. Her fan base doesn't need your approval.

[MrJamesonStyles]

Extremely strange choice for Jimmy Kimmel. People who watch Kimmel and actually think he's funny are usually hovering around 100 IQ, this is pretty high-brow for the target audience.

[ManderFrogizmo]

I think she played really well, but I still think the audience is funny!

I love Joanna Newsom, but it's true that her voice takes a little getting used to.

They aren't evil or wrong for laughing or glaring, they just don't get it. :]

[carysfaerie]

@ManderFrogizmo

..it's not real

[ManderFrogizmo]

@carysfaerie

I definitely get where you're coming from. She has a stage persona, but I think most performers do, you know?

I still love 'er!

[carysfaerie]

@ManderFrogizmo

Hey there

Just to clarify~ by 'It's not real' ~ I meant the audience reaction in this video, it's edited in. The audience are reacting to something else entirely, they're not watching her at all.

I think she's great too :)

[ManderFrogizmo]

@carysfaerie

Oh! Delightful, then! :D

[NoJamOnYourBread]

Grow a sense of humour you fucking dolts, this is hilarious.

[ilikecats74]

These "audience reactions" are cut and pasted from Tay Zonday's performance on the show a couple years ago.

[tucanmusic]

amazing music!

shite editing ...... your an idiot

[softskyarms]

being who she is, amazing

[wkdbtchvthwst]

Her manager should've been shot ! She's too quirky for these rednecks. It'b be like booking her as a support act for ACDC.

[swissenback]

Way to be a SUPER AMAZING editor with those dither dissolves. No one will suspect that cutting-edge style usage, Dick ... I mean Dyke.

[swissenback]

Way to be a SUPER AMAZING editor with those dither dissolves. No one will suspect that cutting-edge style usage, Dick ... I mean Dyke.

[Harpobscura]

Love u Joanna - you're so brave

[tracehazarrrrd]

she'd be better as a model, for espn.

[HeyItsHaylie]

I thought she was flawless.

[joeytiago]

Also, those bitches in the audience probably like nickelback and shit.

[joeytiago]

Screw this audience. I don't even care if they don't like her voice. She's frikken shredding that harp. Aslo, her voice has changed a LOT since her first album. She doesn't sound like lisa simpson anymore. Even though I though it was cute when she sounded like this.

[nichole337biggestfan]

she's trying waaaay too hard to be unique. every time i hear "peach plum pear" i cringe :'(

[LunaVorax]

She plays harp very well but the singing sounds like a 3years old

[djvbb12]

@LunaVorax She made this performance even more twangy than usual

[chosentonessournotes]

This song is magic? What the fuck are you all smoking? She sounds like Bjork licked a curling iron... What the fuck is wrong with you? This is awful.

[djvbb12]

@chosentonessournotes I do like the purple stuff.

[gitchigoomi]

This woman is a farce. Period.

[aerpentiyne]

Perhaps you should listen to her song "Have one on me" or perhaps the whole album. If you understand what music is... you will withdraw this foolish comment.

[gitchigoomi]

@aerpentiyne I've been a musician for many years. I listen to, and appreciate, everything from Suzanne Vega to Slipknot. I've listened to all of this women's work, and even like "Book of Right On." But I stand by my statement. The whole act is farcical and fake. She's playing a character and reminds me of a singing Pee Wee Herman. I can't take her seriously because of the phoniness. PS., if she wasn't good looking, NOBODY would be on this post.

[iridescentsquids]

@gitchigoomi huh. I'm curious but I just can't understand what you are saying exactly. What's the connection between phoniness and her strange voice? Tom Waits has a sometimes strange singing voice. Slipknot wear costumes. In short, there's a huge variety of performers with various forms of what we call "showmanship". You could say it's not to your taste and what bothers you, but is it right to say her performance is 'phony'? Slipknot's masks have been debated as a gimmick. Is it like that?

[gitchigoomi]

@iridescentsquids Thoughtful and fair question. A wholly contrived voice and personality are not "showmanship." It's farce...more like Pee Wee Herman than Tom Waits or Joey Jordison. They add color to their stage personalities: she is contriving the personality all together. She is not autistic, retarded, or Appalachian anymore than Pee Wee was actually a man child. It's on the fake end of the performance spectrum. That's probably why she's eased off on it with the latest tracks.

[iridescentsquids]

@gitchigoomi OK. But obviously Pee Wee's a showman, too, just not a singer. And Tom Waits completely manufactured his stage personality as well. Perhaps it's the combination of seriousness and weirdness that rubs you the wrong way. The semi-somber harp combined with child-like voice and lyrics--some kind of fake naivety? Trying too hard? I don't feel it's 'fake', but there's definitely something very sour and very very strange to her sweetness. But that's what I like, that unique awkwardness.

[gitchigoomi]

@iridescentsquids OK, but what if Pee Wee were a singer?!? With the same voice and persona but playing a harp? You'd have something similar to this girl minus the good looks. Would anyone take it seriously? No. She's Pee Wee Herman playing the harp and singing, except she's a good looking girl who is acting brain damaged (no hyperbole) and so people naturally want to defend her. But its all an act. It's her audience that's naive, not her. She knows exactly what buttons she's pushing.

[NavinJohnson90]

@gitchigoomi See some beauty instead of trying to demolish it to something cheap.

[gitchigoomi]

@NavinJohnson90 Wow. Never thought of it like that. Thank you.

[ManderFrogizmo]

@gitchigoomi You have an interesting opinon. I actually chuckled at your comment about Pee Wee playing the harp. xD I see where you're coming from, but I can't agree. I don't think she's trying to act like a child or someone with cognitive or emotional disabilities. I think she just prefers to sing strangely to stand out. Anyways, I love her music, and I've learned to love her voice. Plus, I can't really say she's putting on a persona if I don't know what she acts like on a day to day basis.

[gitchigoomi]

@ManderFrogizmo Thank you for your civil and intelligent response. I do like Book of Right On, which I think borders on lyrical genius, and for which her voice, in my opinion, is perfect.

[ManderFrogizmo]

@gitchigoomi I like to respond as if I'm standing next to the person I'm talking to, you know? I'm glad you like that song!

[WaffleSDiarY]

Make an album even 1/100 as amazing as anything Joanna has ever released and then you will be allowed to make fun of her, shithead.

P.S. You will never make an album even 1/1000000000 as amazing as anything she has done, so don't try.

[LittleDove2774]

it makes me sad that people were laughing at her. she is such a beautiful artist and people didn't seem to have any respect for it =(

[ShanusChrist]

You are a complete douchebag. What on earth is the point of showing fake "reactions" to Newsom singing? Also, those "reactions" are certainly not what I would call "appalled".

[marianshmarian]

@CarriageFreeChicago just feel under a stereotype...

[CarriageFreeChicago]

oh man....so hard to believe...some old, boring, unintelligent people in the audience at a talk show werent impressed by joanna newsom? oh, man...so mind blowing...i may have to rethink my liking her...i mean...if some people in the audience at a jimmy kimmel show werent impressed...si shouldnt be either, right? right? someone help me out here....so confused....i usually base all my musical preferences on what the audience of the jay leno show prefers, just so you know.

[sticker14]

@CarriageFreeChicago Dude, you're a fucking fag and you're not funny

[FCPaufUror]

I was expecting to see some funny or strange reactions, but this video is just lame and horribly edited

[mynameisargie]

joanna newsome is a genius! maybe those people are just an asshole hip-hop don't know anything about the art of music and styles, that's why they cannot even relate to that song .

[FickleDawn]

Personally, I'd feel comforted that the average moron that seems to populate late night talk show audiences wouldn't "get" Joanna.

Real music isnt for everyone, and it appears shes offending the right people. the live audience at the kimmel show isnt exactly a mensa convention. the giggly half-tard doublemint twins and the dizzy grandma dont look like what we would call "readers".

@TheDykeVanDickShow

you succeeded.

[steelstrings87]

Whatever.

She's polarizing, but she's also a genius.

[lukeloseth]

the editing is terrible, not cause of the concept, but because you used that ridiculous fade effect. terrible.

[WineWeirdos]

i love joanna but i have to admit this was pretty funny.

[thesemountains]

great, poor editing to illustrate a point that is not valid.

[cretsina]

her voice makes my blood boil

[JessicaClark]

Try not listening to it then.

[cretsina]

don't have to tell me twice dumb dumb

[JessicaClark]

I don't get it.. you did a crappy job of editing in some people to her performance?

This songs is magic. I agree with 'postsimpli' - you're an asshole.

[slopPylessOns]

@JessicaClark but this is REAL. isn't it? It shows how mostly, people are surfaced, Unresponsive, & Unappreciative of actual acts of beautiful, simple honesty. aye? personal note: I want to sit down & talk with her one day by a lake, skip some stones, ask her what she thinks when she sees that these are the people she is performing for- people who probably dont get "it", and probably never will.

[smokyp3nguin]

@slopPylessOns Most of the clips of the audience aren't actually from her performance, they are from other parts of the show.

@slopPylessOns

Wow, suck your own dick a little harder. You're clearly no more insightful or 'enlightened' than them, just the other side of the same coin. Get over it.

[postsimpli]

asshole
