@barbiesandninjas She was still in high school. She gave a demo tape she'd made to someone she was babysitting for, who I assume was connected to the music industry. She had her first recording contract before she graduated, and was only 19 by the time she was touring for Tidal.
@MegaWhiner i actually have this live concert set that I was just listening to from like 12 or 13 years ago during the Tidal era, and I was thinking how I never heard her sound so bad. she must've been sick. so not everytime! :-D
Nobody came here to see, hear, or read anything about Sophie Tucker... i presume she was supposed to say it at the start and the end of her performance. She doesn't even use the song on an album... what the hell is she supposed to give credit for?
Get realistic... I've seen her perform this song on youtube in front of an audience before... I like the song and i like her performing it. What makes you think she didn't give credit to the artist at the time that she performed it? I've heard her do the very same thing with a bill withers cover song. "Use me up" search it... But my point is, it's unrealistic to come to a video on youtube and expect to see credit to the original artist... It's a performance clip on youtube. don't expect credits.
guess what smart ass... the fact that you're referring to the video user and not the artist doesn't change anything... it's a great song... applause to Sophie Tucker for creating the song that Fiona Apple sang... but you need to get a life if you're gonna go around and demand that people credit artists on youtube videos... it's youtube, what the hell do you expect? What are you? a Youtube girl scout?
Judy Garland's version is the best, although Fiona's voice is well suited for this song, no one can interpret a lyric and break a heart like Judy Judy Judy.
My favorite version is probably the Judy Garland one mainly because the film she sung it in broke my heart. It was so sad. But I think if anyone today could sing this song it suits Fiona perfectly. The lyrics and everything are perfect for her. Still I love Judy Garland's version best.

Can anyone name the artist who's singing on the recording she practices to? I want to say it's Bessie Smith, but I can't seem to find that exact recording. Please message me if you can help.
I am totallly obsessed with this song, and i still dont know if this will be from a special realease album, a soundtrack or what, she has been performing this song in many showcase, does anybody know something?
She looks so damn pretty in glasses!

Using someone else's work deems giving them credit, not only is it not too much to ask for, it is common courtesy.
Apparently it is important to Fiona as she uses the song for her rehearsal.
And thank you for replying to my comment, now Sophie Tucker's name appears three times in the comment section, as it should :)

I doubt if Fiona Apple needs your defense.
My request to credit Sophie Tucker was to the video poster.
Get over yourself and go find someone else to bother.
