  • pure sex!!

  • justine bieber¡¡¡¡

  • Tori's a bit too much of an art fag here, sorry to say. I bet 95% of the women in that audience were wearing black like Tori and being dykes.

  • @Pumpkingilmour --- wow.. hater.. you have no place here..

  • @Pumpkingilmour So what if they were wearing black? At least they came for the music and not to Bad mouth someone's work! T-W-A-T

  • Beautiful version of this song.

  • @dermotth1 I disagree. This version is depressing and irritating. Too much gasping and slurring , trying to be profound.  Art posturing at its pretentious worst.

  • @Pumpkingilmour um she actually enunciates the words more than the original...

  • this ia not only a cover of the song,it's theatrical of teen prostition(in my opinon)..tori open legged at the audience,breathing and gasping at the moments ..the facial expressions...she did a wonderful interpertation of how the song is too her..an absolute brilliance

  • Hey I didn't read the lyrics to this song before hearing Tori's version, so up to that point I had no idea what Kurt was singing about. She added to the meaning of the song by expressing it her own way. It not only says amazing things about Tori Amos, but my respect for Kurt Cobain and Nirvana is that much greater.

  • @imsolunar Cobain did not even write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. Google 'The true story behind the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit'.The real writer came forward six years ago asking if anyone could help him trace down Cobain's travels in '86,asking if Cobain had been to Banff, Alberta in '86. Three years later he found proof that Cobain had been traveling to Banff in 1986 tagging along with his friend's bar band The Melvins.

  • @Pumpkingilmour -- I have never heard that. You would think they would come forward when the song came out though if this rumor were true.. I don't believe it, I would have to look into it...

  • @imsolunar Cobain did not write the lyrics to Teen Spirit. The reason the real writer didn't come forward in '91 was because no one could hear the words, and back then no one gave a shit what the words were. To this day most don't have a clue what the words meant.The guys story checks out as 100% true.Cobain couldn't live with himself for lying to the world.

  • @Pumpkingilmour - I read threw that guys claim.. it's complete bull shit.. don't believe it..

  • @imsolunar no , it's not complete bullshit. You'd rather believe the lying scumbags like Charles Cross, who doesn't want his book sales hurt, or his wife who still makes millions on his records, or all the other secret society shit heads surrounding Cobain who want it covered up? Cobain was no god,he was a liar and called himself a liar and a thief in his own song.In Utero was a piece of shit,he married a dog,and ruined his life because he was just another pretentious asshole.

  • @ehbseedy --- I don't give a shit about your bullshit Kurt Cobain theories.. Seriously. I love this song, I love Tori Amos, and I like a lot of Nirvana's music. But fortunately, unlike Cobain, I have a life to live, and I would rather not waste it like he did, by trying to unfold the mysteries of his death or career... If you don't like my opinions, go to a Kurt Cobain conspiracy theory message board and find like minded people. I don't care about this conversation, I just love Tori!

  • @ehbseedy Oh and by the way I have no clue who Charles Cross is... So if you think you are talking to another obsessive passionate Nirvana historian, you are wrong.

  • she does such a great version ... amazing

  • hello, you can check out my youtube channel...

  • 13722 men like this song and 2343 women dislike it;-)

  • still better than Flyleaf or Miley Cyrus's cover

  • she has the loudest inhale ive ever heard

  • Keep pressing 3 to do trollface :DDD it really works!

  • No no no! This song can not sing softly, to this song have to jump in and destroy everything!

  • @Poison6567 Tori Amos can and WILL play this song however she damn well pleases!

  • @Poison6567 But she did jump in and destroy everything! Kurt himself liked this cover so FUCK YOU for having absolutely no musical understanding of how beautiful this is and that the whole point of smells like teen spirit was and is to make an impact upon those that hear it, not to 'Jump in and destroy. The meaning of music is to delve into the unknown and create a unique sound and quality of original and cover songs.

  • @gravityiszer0 Cobain did not even write the lyrics to this song. He hated Smells Like Teen Spirit and hated most of the people who liked it. He was given the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit and to Come As You Are when he was in Banff in 1986.

  • @Pumpkingilmour Don't even start to say shit like that, Nirvana weren't even around in 1986 and neither were Feacal matter or any band kurt cobain was in, He got the lyric from a tag someone wrote on his wall, and he made it his own! Even wikipedia tells you this and thats full of crap!

  • @gravityiszer0 Cobain was traveling with The Melvins as a tag along in their van when they went to Canada to score some hash in B.C. and smuggle it over the border, and the Melvins did a show in Calgary, Alberta , Canada on the same trip that Cobain was with them on. Cobain was given the lyrics to Teen Spirit in Banff, Alberta in '86.

  • @gravityiszer0 Cobain wrote the title for the song, came up with the idea for the song, and put the lyrics to music, but he didn't write the lyrics. THat's one reason, probably the main reason, that he hated the song so much. He didn't write the lyrics,said it was meaningless, and most people think its meaningless.The stupidest bloody part of it is that although they'll say it was meaningless lyrics,they'll fight tooth and nail to defend Cobain as the 'genius lyricist' behind it.

  • @gravityiszer0 Fecal Matter was around in 86.

  • KEEP PRESSING 6 ORGASM

  • real good cover

  • unbelievably good.

    "It's not where you take things from, it's where you take them to."

  • This is such a sensual performance!

  • do you realize this innocent frail looking girl has a personal relationship with the devil''

  • goosebumps

  • good cover but the heavy breathing and the way she slur some of the words are annoying..

  • I love it!!!!

  • How can anyone dislike this? o.o just beautiful<3

  • her cover of enjoy the scilence is better than the original, and I'm going to go ahead and break a taboo by saying this is too

  • Great great song and awsome cover.

    Mit den Worten von Mario Barth: Nimm det Ding mitte Batterien ausm Arsch

  • I love how Tori Amos is making love to the microphone lol...so sensual!

  • more like giving herself and audiance orgasms..

  • amazing!

  • @SuperFirewire1

    Oh really? Is the original version for little kids who didn't do well in school?

    Says you, the fuckhead who can't spell: version* (not vertion), because* (not becouse) and sense (not sence).

  • @attica1010 That just proves my point, i loved nirvan, i didnt do to good in school, i am very sorry you got so mad. I will try to improve my spelling. Your mama was a hooker, that's why you are a bastard and a ugly asswipe to boot!!! "Did i spell that right? lol

  • @SuperFirewire1

    That's such a bad stereotype, Nirvana only appealed to people like you because you like angry music since you're probably a stupid jock, but for some, we understand Kurt and that he's a very intelligent man, his intention was to show his understanding of certain things in the world, and also to express how he feels.

    That's what Nirvana was all about. No it doesn't prove your point, although people that didn't do well in school may like nirvana, it wasn't created for them.

  • @attica1010 Cobain did not even write the lyrics to this song, and none of the progressive gay 'Tori' fans here have a fucking clue what the lyrics even mean. What does the song mean to you? What are the lyrics about?

  • This is way the hell better then the original, the original is more for little kids that dont do good in high school, this vertion is more adult, i can see why younger people would hate this- becouse it makes the words make more sence. Just like the beatles help song- when the beatles played help fast - it just sounded like a pop song- but when i heard that song done slow for the first time "Oh my god , it made the words wound so much more serious!!

  • @SuperFirewire1 wow, that was one of the most ignorant comments i've ever read on here.

  • Great!!!

  • People interpret music differently, she hasn't 'murdered' it. If you don't like it go and listen to the original, don't waste your own and everyone else's time by posting shitty comments.

  • She murdered it. Tori Amos is really great,but not for Nirvana.

  • love it because its so different

  • I am a big Nirvana fan, and when people sing their songs I get insanely angry, but Tori sing it the right way, so I'm not mad at her! She is the best! <3

  • great cover breathing fuming pisses me of

  • Tori is a legend , and this cover is eternal

  • Is all the heavy breathing really necessary?

  • lame.. just don't try to make this song emotional and meaningful because it's fucking not 

  • @ROCKXXSTAR1 but it is an emotional song, just because the song includes distorted guitar and heavy drums doesn't mean this song isn't emotional, go watch some britney Spears DICK!

  • @MrNoknownidentity Britney spears? and dick lol.. you don't have to agree with me, but please go read the lyrics, and if that's emotional to you I really hope you get better.

  • @ROCKXXSTAR1 Hahah yeah what is this pussy shit? We want headbanging not lighters in the air ;)

  • @ADHDBasketcase fuck yeah!

  • Not bad; of course I like the original...but I dig this:)

  • that is what an artist is, to take a feeling or an idea and recontexualise it with reference to their world. When you listen to Tori's back catalogue, and then this, after moshing around to Nirvana as a teenager, it all makes gorgeous sense. Share the love! Innit.

  • @pppatsy I really couldn't have put it better mate. Peace.

  • @pppatsy

    feel and agree what you're saying, but though I'm a fan I'm still not liking it.

  • her voice is not really scratchy... but still good.

  • wow! great cover of a great song. Tori rocks!

  • Dude, im from da str8 HOOD! Fukk any POOSIE NYGGA talkin about TORI AMOS! The woman iz a BEAST! She iz creative and INTELLIGENT @ FUKK! It wuz a MOVEMENT HAPPENIN @ the time KURT wuz makin this shyt! It was a CENTERFOLD for our generation! BRANDON LEE...BRUCE LEES SON, DIED, IN THE CROW....KURT COBAIN, DIED AROUND THIS TIME.....TUPAC SHAKUR, IN JAIL, AROUND THIS TIME... MICHAEL JACKSON, LIED ON, AROUND THIS TIME...2PAC QUOTE: yall gone make me BLOW MY BRAINS out like KURT COBAIN

  • 1:07 lol she sounds like she's having an orgasm

  • @negativewierdo That's why she's the greatest! ;P

  • Not feeling this cover at all, whether Cobain liked it or not.

  • WOW and Am I suppose to be impress with your journalistic fact findings?

    don't you have anything better to do?I'm leaving this crap for good and tell Tori Amos no harm feelings.

  • @hudent hahahah u just got treated and have noooo music knowledge. we are happy you are leaving asshole, if u dont like it why in the hell are you still on this thread????

  • @Jcubswin she's having an orgasm isn't she the way she sits at the piano,just like you do when you hear her sing...you stupid idiot..get the fuck out my life.HAHAHA

  • her piano playing makes me happy im alive

  • Great cover. Dont mind the hate... they know nothing of music.

  • @Hatinonthehaters shut up...!!!

  • It doesn't happen often a cover is better than the original ... this one is.

  • Only a pretend Janis

  • Heartache.

    

  • this bitch is so fucking boring come on give me a break there is only one way to play this tune FAST FAST I don't know who told this idiot to make a slow cover she sucks cock.

  • @hudent How dare you insulting one of the best singer-songwriter, composer, musician in the world? Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!!! Tori you're the best ever.... I love you!!!

  • @SuperMoon74 Kurt Cobain turns on his grave everytime someone plays this horrendous cover of his song...what you said about her being the best makes want to throw up..get a life

  • Comment removed

  • @hudent Kurt Cobain was and is one of the best musician the world has ever had and is missed endlessly.

    But it's not nice to be criticising Tori's cover. She used her style in covering this version, and Kurt liked it much! I'm just saying that you should listen to her music, or at least try to understand her music. It's an appretiation of art. And don't tell me to "get a life". You get a life and have some respect for both Kurt and Tori for music is their life..... C***t!

  • @SuperMoon74 Just get out my life,will you!!

  • @hudent I never intend to get in your life mate..... must be a booooooring life..

  • @SuperMoon74 Ok moon,I don't know how old you are but My life is not boring at all I'm a musician,go to Facebook and check our band PAPAFISH the band ok.and tell me what you think.let's cut off the insults.

  • @hudent erm, Kurt actually loved this cover and said he preferred it to his version. So.....yeah.

  • @JazzMan5000 Of course, how can you ask a dead man for his opinion,where is your proof,Tori Amos is just an overrated composer-singer.. and her cover is so bad I gasp,nothing against her,but its the truth.and please don't reply back I'm done with this subject.I have to go back to the studio.

  • @hudent Kurt was alive when she made this cover you ignoramus:

    MTV: What did you think of the Tori Amos cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"?

    Cobain: Flattering.

    MTV: Is it true that you and Courtney Love used to wake up and dance around to it?

    Cobain: Yeah. We used to put it on every morning and have breakfast and dance around. We'd turn it up really loud and do interpretive dancing to it. It's good breakfast music.

  • @JazzMan5000 he laughed to this cover, this was played before nirvana´s gigs on stage like joke

  • @JazzMan5000 Hah! Kurt and Courtney "up for breakfast" ???? Yeah right, an 8 Ball would have been their breakfast...

  • @JazzMan5000 Bullshit you invented the whole thing to make this ridiculous bitch looks good,she is horrible, wake up you dumbo she is that bad...she sings like she is ready to suck cock....my bitch sings better than this junk and sucks better too.

    and get the hell out my life...

  • @hudent you can say you don't like it but you're comment makes no sense at all. you don't even say why you don't like it without being vulgar and pointless. this is a particular version, you don't have to dislike it only because she has nothing to do with nirvana's sound. this is not NIRVANA, this is TORI AMOS. this is a different song. you don't have to judge it with the original song in mind. I'm sorry you're so narrow-minded that you can't appreciate this beauty. I really am sorry for you.

  • @TaccaH You know what  just SHUT UP!!! I call them as I see them..she is BAAAAAAAD.....

  • @JazzMan5000 Where did you get this? Is it from a video??

  • @hudent You're an idiot you have no appreciation for music it's a great cover done by one of the best actual musicians (in my opinion) so get a life and stop listening to shit and start listening to some REAL music im not saying i dont like Nirvana in factim a huge fan of them but not every Smells Like Teen Spirit cover is horrible so go and get a life bye.

  • @fusilados SHUT UP!!!Tori Amos looks like she is really to suck cock....to me

  • this is the worst slap in the face to Kurt Cobain

  • @rtardforlife actually Kurt liked this version of it. He said that him and Courtney used to dance around the kitchen to it.

  • this is the worst slap in the to Kurt Cobain

  • Dope!

  • EXCUSE ME a message to all new pop singers since 1998 drop dead pls drop dead i beg you

  • @pgrmoja LMAO this was recorded in 1992, ya cumstain.

  • @YesImACunt i didnt say she sucked i said the NEW pop singers since 98 drop dead pls

  • looks and sing like mustaine )))

  • PERFECT!

  • haunting. One of the best live shows I have ever been too

  • mamadas

  • :-)

    

  • god.... that's wonderful. so emotional.

  • Best three minutes and eleven seconds of my life :D I love this so much <3

  • "Her cover version of Smells Like Teen Spirit is the reason Kurt killed himself." — Courtney Love about Tori Amos.

  • @tehsilentsmoker lol really? quoteing a talentless whore?

  • @sTapleEVA a quotes a quote, no matter who said it

  • @tehsilentsmoker "who"? more like what. courtny isn't much of a human, more of a giant rock of cocain.

  • is she having an orgasm there or does she just have asthma?

  • @VonBriest both

  • hope kurt thanks her personally........

  • cover recorded in 1992, Kurt said about it that it's "a great breakfast cereal version"

  • this cover makes me sooo sad.... i fucking adore kurt... :\ i think he would have liked it, or maybe hated it. it just makes me sad to hear it in this context; tory did an amazing job.

  • @LucySkyDiamonds666 Well, it might introduce new ppl to the stuff. It's always the really good and iconic songs that get covered a lot... I've heard that he liked a a lot and used to dance to it with his GF for breakfast (Tori first covered it when he was still alive)Personally, I would never have discovered the awesomeness that is Nirvana if not for the Evanescence-Cover of heart-shaped box - One day, I got curious, and looked up the original... Still, his death was a great loss for humanity.

  • @KendrixTermina lol i wasn't saying i didn't like it. i know what you mean, i always like to hear the originals when there is a good cover out there.

  • RIP Kurt Cobain ... we miss you man

  • annoying over-acting

  • @FFpatagon agree... i dont really like it, its too typical.

  • @FFpatagon it's her style.. you should check out other songs, like crucify or cornflake girl. Shes very good

  • Kurt would probly like this cause everyones disliking it, but would truly 'dislike' it at heart.. the genious thought process is un-expected simplicity... the only people who ever made sense in this world so far were jesus christ and kurt cobain, ya i said it, thats it, and im not even a 'christian' or 'nirvana' fan.. just a follower of truth, 'real' truth.. as fuking corny as that all sounds.. not fake conspiracy-truther bshit or heavy-metal athiest band idolizing bs.. wake up this is just ent

  • entertainment... - that doesnt mean dont enjoy it either, just know this

  • You need to know her music enjoy this.... I love all she has done

  • After Miley Cyrus's cover I had a hard time bringing myself to watch this cover and I'm soooo glad I did^^'CUZ IT'S AWESOME!!

  • @sadstonereaperneko Miley Cyrus covering a song critisizing the commercialization of art is the most ironic thing since a Rammstein song critizising american unilateralism made it into the american charts. She obviously has no clue what it's about. But yeah, there's still good covers in this world. I think Tori "fits" Nirvana music very well since both her and kurt are very "authentic" and soulful in their singing, even if they accomplish that by different methods.

  • LAME

  • TORI AMOS recalls her painful bout with an MTV "Unplugged" taping. Read more at The Worst Gig (WorstGig.com).

  • this is amazing.. i just wish she didn't breathe so heavily, it makes it awkward...

  • Its not a bad cover, check Miley Cyrus, fuckin offensive

  • Sorry, I think it's the best cover in the world.

  • Oh god no. She tries too hard.

  • Una maravilla todo lo que canta en esta mujer lo convierte en suyo.........lo vampiriza, es maravillosa sin mas, oirla cantar es una experiencia sexual sin duda..............

  • solo ella sabe q canata super bien... pffff me burlo en su cara .|.

  • Fucking disgrace

  • @bigoneish naw that teenage angst bullshit was a disgrace. it wasn't by chance that rock music died after the grundge wave

  • absolute crap,in insult to kurt's talent....my dog could do better

  • @watford623 get real. open your mind to things you aren't used to once in a while. this is the opposite of my style but i still respect her vision as an artist. go troll somewhere else.

  • GINGERS DO HAVE SOULS!!

  • she looks drugged

    

  • We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

    You can change our future with one simple click.

    Please thumbs up so other people can see this and check out our channel and comment with feedback if you like,also if you think we could improve.

    If you like check the other artists we have over 70 vids up!

    Cheers!

  • are little tribe!!!

  • She went all Mad World on Smells Like Teen Spirit... BEAST!!! <3

  • She also does a great interpretation of The Velvet Underground's New Age

  • Cornflake Girl is a better song!

  • ....I'm not gonna lie, I came here ready to like this song. But her face when she stops the music to sing during the chorus just makes me dislike her in such a way that words cannot express... and trust me, I tried.

  • @fightliferockin Maybe try just playing the video and listening to only the music??

  • @fightliferockin you listen to music with your ears, not your eyes

  • @sTapleEVA But this IS a youtube VIDEO. Where I watch with my eyes. Plus, Stevie Wonder could even see those facial expressions.
