Imogen Heap - First Train Home (Live)

[Scofthe7seas]

I don't see the problem with Letterman. He was just being himself; he's actually had her on his show several times and seems to genuinely like her music :/

[TheNdenk]

Gosh.. thx God for creating such artist

[C0ffeeMakesMeSmile]

She. Is. Amazing.

[dee11unnoticed]

True, I thought he was being a total dick as well. LOL jerk..

[liljayfusion]

I just listen to some terrible music and had to come here to remember there is great music still here

[laurarox80]

Her hair is so amazing.

[MailJeevans]

I LOVE HER!!!

[superjujujuice]

see you can do great in spite of letterman...

[jszsfntsz]

A pretty rude American. That's nothing new.

[14anabel]

I love it!!!!!!

[harrypotter4034]

I love imogen heap and I think letterman was trying to rush the show on but he was a bit rude by opening a conversation with imogen and then rushing the show on fast before she could finish her sentance.

[renomustangs]

So far the best version of this song I heard "Simply the best" "Amazing"..better than the video version.

[prettyplease21]

SOOO unique in SUch a SPECIAL WAY :) :)

[ninthhour1]

ooooompa looooom pa!

[joekingjoe123]

There is a difference between selling out and NEEDING THE MONEY TO PAY THE BILLS.

[dustymsays22]

Does anyone know what that is on her lap? I know it stores her different beats. I'm just wondering if it is one of those OHM's that you have to have custom made.

[zfangride]

@dustymsays22

Its custom I believe.

[loneguitaristyannis]

@dustymsays22 It's a Monome

[iliveinmyguitar]

you can cook for me anytime!!!!

[darkyoshi422]

I wish we could buy this version. The piano she adds in it makes it sound so good.

[yeahyeya]

absolutely fantastic!

[ZEROPRODUCTIONSVIDEO]

I love this live version! 

[chaosandisorder]

i agree jason derulo murdered her song but why did imogen allow him to sample it in the first place?

[jimmiratsfield]

@chaosandisorder Because she probably would've made a tidy sum in royalties.

[chaosandisorder]

@jimmiratsfield true, just a shame she had to sell herself out like that

[jimmiratsfield]

@chaosandisorder I wouldnt really call it selling out. she is a professional musician. I'm not a big fan of jason derulo myself but she may have been flattered that another aritist enjoyed her song so much they wanted to sample it and on top of royalties she also would have got alot of publicity from the song being used by a mainstream artist.

[zfangride]

@jimmiratsfield

Indeed. I really dont like that song, as I feel he ripped the song off more then sampled it, nor do I like him, but the publicity it got her makes me rather happy.

[B1TMAN]

Totally beautiful. The vocalis offpitch sometimes, but it dosen´t mather because she has like a million other things to think of.

That Jason Derulo guy who totally destryed her´s "hide and seek" should be shot on sight. He´s so fake and is one of many "artists" that destroys the beuty of music. The Art of music is forgotten and now its all about money.. Imogen Heap is a REAL ARTIST.

[kalmordin]

yea i love her more then lady gaga know and im a dude lol

[ThEuNdEaDdIsAsTeR]

most interesting voice i have ever heard... Never gets old. Ever. Ive always loved her. Sooo much talent. Fuck lady gaga. She truly does this from her heart and for joy. I love you

[prettyplease21]

I like all her music vidoes and her fashion is really eclatic

[heytheremia]

Not only is her music disturbingly beautiful, but she seems like a sweet person

[prettyplease21]

I have never seen a home

[redruM0381]

@sincerelywithlove

Its called a Monome. Autotune is a device that locks your voice at a particular note. Totally different

[dlund92]

tell me sumthin, why exactly would she take it offensively????

[redruM0381]

@sincerelywithlove

Not an autotune...

[101commentary]

Her voice gives me goosebumps. I think people got offended by Letterman because it sounded like it could be a backhanded insult, and her music means a lot to a lot of people. Shows passion for the artist, which can only be good.

[FridgePinUp]

i loooove her music. i don´t know how often i´ve this live performance... it´s simply enchanting... she´s got that dreamy sound in all her songs and it´s awesome (:

you gotta love that girl

[witchhunterrobin79]

Did anyone notice she got the lyrics mixed up on the second chorus?

Lol, but she did it with grace!

Any mistake she makes turns out to be a success all in itself!

LOVE YOU, IMMI. <3

[Dunderhead36]

@witchhunterrobin79 i heard her stumble but it still ended up great

[SniperLi0n]

wow totally amazing! i love how she creates all those synth - sounding layers live!! shes so good!! 0_o

[evolross]

She's so amazing! I'm seeing her in three days in Los Angeles at the Greek Theatre!

[Elyn101]

I love this song!!!!!!

[DevianneSvenson]

I am totally in love with her music.

[sd24440]

loved it , seen official video loved them both

[wabuchik]

I just love her!! and i love how she always do live performances, not like most of the artist when they go to live shows.

[randylincoln]

you could see that she was totally turned off with dave's comment of "i'm there dude!"..and rightfully so!!...letterman at his WORST!!!...HEAP AT HER FINEST!!!

[mertles02]

the synth riff at 2.51 kicks ass

[sd24440]

@mertles02 I agree

[flamerick]

Is that a monome that she is using for the drums and loop. I want one now!!!!

[TheKHUE]

I like how she brings her studio on stage

[wilmothg]

Hey chubsykins..get the stick out of your ass. You're a pompous limey fuck.

[teletubeless]

was letterman always being like that? he's so rude and just didn't listen... btw this live version is better than the recorded version!

[finnabethat]

such a great performance! one of my favorites

[vivianmari]

linket, you should seen her in Oslo.. she absolutely rooocked live, it was a stellar performance!

[silverwolf9399]

she deserves jimmy kimmel, not that fake douchebag letterman. he was so rude to her, I hope he gets canceled.

[SillyMonkeyDots]

What she does is incredibly complicated and takes a ton of patience and amazing timing. That said, and with the videos that I have seen I would have to agree that she seems to be a bit hit and miss...

...but so is Tori or Ani OR ANY OTHER PERFORMER!

Immi is THE SHIT!!

[linket88]

...that has to be very very difficult to mix and sing...i must say i love her music very much, however, her live performances aren't outstanding...

[Kafeifei]

I find with Immi -- as with most artists -- she has some lacklustre performances, and other times they are entirely breathtaking.

[WitchKvltToday]

You're insane. Her live performances are AMAZING! She's not just "pressing buttons" which I assume, you're assuming.

[liyanam]

I think this is better than the studio version! Just amazing!

[harrypotter4034]

@liyanam i agree its got much more energy to it

[Luaeria]

Poor Immi, she was so fantastic and being so sweet and Letterman was just trying to get on with ending his show on time lol... i love Immi to bits and pieces, she's phenominal!

[hueseph]

@Luaeria There's a stage manager probably pointing at his watch and giving him looks. I don't think it was David's idea to cut her off like that. There's also the network to contend with who have already sold time slots for the next show.

[seizetheday224]

@Luaeria I hate Letterman. He doesn't appreciate any of the talent that performs on his show.

[rubietheone3]

that was a great performance, i love seeing artists getting into their stuff and engrossing themselves in their music. it gives me such a nice feeling. i love imogen heap's music but above all i love her performances !

[mindphlux]

imogen heap with a monome. my life is complete.

[wiganlad56]

plus... that note she belts out at 3.28... makes me shiver... awsome :p

[wiganlad56]

i must admit ... other than the twat comments by letterman at the end... this is my fav version of the song... even better than the album version... love her to bits... what a talent... sigh... cant wait till Feb... when i see her live again in the UK :)

[GreenRover232]

She missed a verse in 2:15 she was busy mixing music... quite hard to do live though....

[whereamigoingnow]

conversely,that little electronic drum bit was kinda lame...umm what was that?Karen Carpenter in "Close to You"?!!...hahahahahaha

[whereamigoingnow]

Although she wrote the song some time ago,in all fairness she had a lot on her plate at the time she got this bit ready for teevision

[zzzonezz]

i think he is high, leave him alone.

Imogen you are fantastic!!!!

[clubsoda91]

you can't tell she's a facebook addict.

[fallingstrawberry]

hahaha

[treemanfilms]

what a cunt

[ChipChipBreak]

I've heard people saying letterman was out of order. what exactly did he do wrong? i don't quite get it.

[chubsykins]

@ChipChipBreak its just his whole manner is dismissive and disgusting, maybe its just the american way, dont know, ive never known any americans be as rude as that though :\ hes just a dick

[vivianmari]

@ChipChipBreak cause the way he said "i dont care" kinda strongly implied he wouldnt be there for the food... :P if you ask me

[SmarteMarte]

this is amazing UK talent AS USUAL :)

[mkrod12]

whoa i wonder how much effort that must have taken, amazing performance.

[TubetopWoman]

All my respect for Letterman is officially gone, but Imogen is a STAR.

[mgaka47]

all the class once again on the british side of the atlantic. What a tosspot & who's the wee baldy fella, jeesus how does he get on tv

[amplifya]

lol, wow letterman is a douche bag.

[iGrizzliestBear]

That outfit is Totally Awesome!!!

[trLmos]

It's his kind of humour. But I agree it's a bit harsh, hehe.

[Kaskade2009]

David Letterman is an arsehole. Imogen's performance was beautiful. I BET Letterman was blown away! :)

[1fredluver]

that was rude it seems likes letterman didnt take her seriously. love her style of music

[fallingstrawberry]

Sad when she repeats the lyric. You can tell... she's all shaking her head at the "As hiss and echo gain" again. I hate when that happens. This is a beautiful performance. And Letterman did appear to be an ass. ha

[davidragon1]

Presenter was a bit of an ass.

Imogen sings beautifully.

[shakespearesdead]

holy crap. im going to see her soon and im so excited now. defiantly a step up from her last tour with everything just sitting in front of her

[mchouse5000]

This woman is amazing. Coming onto Letterman with a grand piano, a mac book on top of that, and a monome in her lap. So sick.

[youcheekyfucker]

What's so great about a Mac book? It's just trendy overpriced rubbish.

[mchouse5000]

I'm talking about how she has the mac book on top running the monome with all her samples n shit. I wasn't specifically talking about what computer she was running...... gah. I don't use mac either. I was emphasizing that she's a sick artist cuz she integrates an electronic set into a nice classical sound here. psh

[Caronia47]

Stunning, in ever sense of the word! One of the best performances ever, really.

[tcbearhk]

this is not a tenori-on, this is "monome"

[animalemo]

its amazing, i love that woman, i like as she plays array mbira and hag: bueno, yo en realidad hablo español, mi ingl´'es es pésimo xD, pero me gusta mucho esta cantante, y su modo de mezclar los sonidos, y crear música con tanto estilo y profundidad en sus letras.

[julyo78]

mesmerizing Imogen

[MrRobF]

You just "Twittered" Ashton Kutcher. Yeah not funny.

[Cirrus5005]

I find it wrong that I enjoyed this song very much -proud-

[MrRobF]

Don't hate, appreciate ;)

[yoitsme762]

uhm does anyone feel like he was rude at the end when he was talking to her? he didnt look at her and just kind of shrugged her off.

[screwball82]

NO, I actuallly think he was great with her. Just how I see it, I guess

[sbulos]

she totally LESBOED her.

he's wrong.

check the ending.

[larscwallin]

Best of the best! Love her :)

This was her best live performance i think!

[PenaltyKillah]

immi with a tenori-on... funny how she called it the 'twitter machine'. It's a really innovative kind of instrument toy that has also attracted another electro female British artist, Little Boots.

[dalboy83]

i think she did an amazing job. first time seeing her perform, she really can sing -although her throat was dry or nervous.

great song and love how she sings with technology at hand to help tell her stories via songs.

[itowedin]

She does so much with her gear, I get nervous that she's going to miss a cue. Well done.

[1ngmar8ergman]

Wow! What a great musical performance! It's probably not that easy to also catch the cameras :) I loved every second of it!

[CrayolaNumber1]

She was probably nervous, she sounds flat anf little offkey at the beginning but she did an amazing job.

Her voice seem so different that Speak fo youself. I love how she evolve.

[KingdomHearts450]

Yeah when she first started music i didnt really like her and her voice was abit fuzzy but frou frou and on she improved so much shes the most amazing singer in the world in my eyes so talented and i think she improved alot because of guy sigsworth as she improved so much in frou frou.

[cami71213]

i love her and her one woman band!

[greenrage787]

I watch this video like 2 times everyday and also her pop tech speeding cars performance. If you liked this also check out her first train home studio video. I'm obsessed with her and I wish I could meet her one day. She has so much talent and is such an amazing person

[athousandstrats]

I've watched this about 10 times in a row now.

[titoinee]

ME TOO the first time i saw it

[MrAdamduckworth]

I love her.

[Evenoix]

She had the best sense of style its so her!

[ecnaDBoi]

lol. I'm sure she wasn't offended. He's a funny guy. There was only like 2 seconds of video after that.

Woah. People..chilllll..

[ladeeda9]

shes literaly amaizing, so much talent :oooo

[atipacti]

I admired this woman!!

[wiganlad56]

no were not overreacting ... watch her face ffs... she didnt smile once after that muppet comment... yea he got a laugh ffs... but she was visably upset... geez hes a typical American me me me person... she as more talent in her little finger than arsehole

[chuckpadgettmusic]

You guys are overreacting to the "dude" comment. He even said it in a cartoony skaterboy voice, "I'm totally there, dude!" Don't forget, he is a comedian. He obviously didn't mean it in an offensive way. He had just asked if he could come to her house in London for dinner, for crying out loud.

And, yes, Immi was amazing as always. Can't wait for her to tour. She was brilliant on the last one.

[edmmman]

I know that's what I'm saying. Everyone is taking it so serious.

[xpinkdrummerx]

great !! I've met some celebs who aren'y very nice at all !! they just blank you !! it's nice to know that she is different

[wireframe01]

She stopped smiling when Letterman called her Dude. What a shame. Imogen is very beautiful, Talented, Hands Down would wipe the floor with BSpears in a talent contest. I've been to her shows and met her once, she is amazing and very tall, taller than me and I'm 6ft. I was surprised!

[xpinkdrummerx]

you've met her !! lucky dog !! is she nice ??

[wireframe01]

yes I met her totally unexpected. Here at after a show in LA. She came out with her assistant and had a sharpie to sign autographs. She is SO nice and I brought her flowers and she gave me a big hug. Got my picture taken with her, but I was so tounge tied felt like I had a novacaine shot. but it's all good. She truly knows the value of her fans and is really nice. Hope you get to meet her too.

[wiganlad56]

how the hell does she do all those things while singing... geez... her talent overflows with greatness..... wtf did he say dude ffs... Immis face totaly changed at that point... the muppet

[SourpTV]

I can relate to this song. :-)

[xpinkdrummerx]

me too :)

[stacyv06]

soo talented! she's just one of those people who you watch and makes you say to yourself "now she was born to do what she does!" no doubt that she is far more talented then all those other wacky performers out there who are getting paid millions but don't even have real and raw talent.

[ashheap27]

she just so good

[TheBeautyIsFake]

she's doing too much at once. she needs to tone it down or get some help with the instruments!

[wiganlad56]

she has more talent in her little finger than most artists... go immi.. XxX

[TormentedByDemons]

I kept expecting the piano to take off while she was playing. It's very easy to picture her piloting a grand piano.

Stunning song. Looking forward to the album!

And Letterman, wow, he's just so happy to be alive isn't he? :)

[sasuke00092]

Immi's amazing as always! :)

[CattskiMusic]

amazing as always. letterman, you're a prick. why call her dude??! darn.

[Aquamarina13]

Imogen seemed sweet to letterman, she offered to cook for him and the douche bag just seem so uninterested in her, even the way he commented about the performance "wow, nice" Ugh!

He needs to have more respect for his guests!

[EtAnimo]

It was a good performance -- like others have said, Immi really found her footing halfway through (in a sense, the song could have been a little stronger acoustic).

Did anyone else notice Immi's expression completely change when Letterman called her a 'dude'? I think he touched some sort of childhood nerve there.

[Synoiz]

I must say this is Immi on very bad form but she pulled it off very well. She didn't have long to rehearse the song and I think any of her vocal mistakes would have been eclipsed by everyone's "what does that machine do?" amazement! :D

[bscomics]

it took her half the song to look and sound comfortable... she was a bit flat at first, but second half she was spot on... Thats live music i suppose...

[ghostrid3]

Would have been better to see "Hide and Seek" played live. Call me old school but I dont think she shouldnt mix piano with new fad technology

[thesushikat]

thanks for the upload. she is an absolutely amazing artist. please do a north american tour immie!

[amambah]

brilliant!

[juliannarox]

wooo!!!! brillaint performance Immi!!!

[wiganlad56]

the best artist ever.... and shes English...enough said

[prestonheinlein]

hahahahahaha, love it. she did an absolutely amazing job. when i watched it last night i was so excited!

[wireframe01]

I'm so glad she decided to use her gear and not just do acoustic, even though wither would have been amazing as well. Immi totally dazzled everyone again.  That was so SO Great!!!!

[UltimateNelly]

amazing!
