she has so much emotion while she is playing the piano. its amazing. i really like to see an artist who puts herself out there that much. it is a painful song, and you can see that she really feels the vibe of it.
wow... so, i actually *just* listened to some of amanda palmer's stuff for the first time (i know, i know... ;) and now i see why you were freaking out. awesome! ;D
this is possibly my favourite song hands down, and upon hearing this cover my only reaction was: 'holy shit'. this was astounding. i feel like the original is polished and subtle, understated, but this really captures the rawness behind the lyrics. it's much obviously closer to the heart; not necessarily better, but it's breathtaking imo.
I think that if you didn't like Amanda Palmer to begin with, you'd think this cover was bad, just because you're not familiar with her voice.
I think she did an incredible job with it. And yeah, it really does sound like it was one of her songs, like she wrote it or something. No, nobody can outdo T&S with a cover, and their version is obviously better, but AP's version is high up there with it.
Euhm.. Okay I don't want te be rude. But first of all She is not as hot as Tegan&Sara, not even neeeearly!!She scares me a bit.. But I thought well maybe she's a great singer. But I don't even like her voice.. Just average. And why does she have to pull of such weird faces during the song?Sorry, just don't like it!
Yeah, I spoke to her afterwards and gushed at her about how much I loved T+S and how she'd just made my lifetime and she said that she messed up but she thought it went ok :)
I can relate AFP, I love T&S too.
(Ironic how she said, "Play tracks effectively." when she messed up. ha,ha)

This almost sounds like she wrote it. I adore both versions... but you can never beat the original.
Did she screw up in the beginning? I think she skipped "Direct pain effectively."
