Tori Amos - Bouncing Off Clouds (Graham Norton Show)

[SquishedButterfly]

there is something dreadfully corny about clap along audiences. dickheads :)

[WeHaveExplosive]

I love the song, but the camerawork and editing is making me motion-sick.

[TomModernMedia]

this is when i fell in love with her. thank you graham :)

[neouniverse2]

@TomModernMedia OMG me too...i love her since i saw this on tv *.*

[PauleQueenie]

GooD Day

[xcKell]

@PauleQueenGooD Day  to you too =)ie

[starkfine4]

The lights leads me into her fairytale eyes, dont' you think She's perfect-sweet God made?

[nomadically02]

she is so cute! (:

[fiercestcalm]

Gosh I keep watching and watching this...the camera work is as beautiful as the performance...I'd love a live DVD filmed like this..

[04jhowarth]

I just LOVE the clip of her foot on the sustain! I don't know why, but women playing piano in high heels is just so, sexy? :P

[toferdisobey]

She loooks amazing...how can u say its not Tori...you see her sitting there dont you...!!

[Sewicide]

The straight hair is so hideous and "not Tori".

[BoysForPele1989]

Exactly, this is part of the concept of ADP; she is deconstructing her own image by making her appearance seem a parody of itself. She is showing the limits of saying"that's not Tori." We do not know everything about Tori. This is evident to me as she continues to breakthrough any expectation I have. anyway, spectacular performance by an incredily powerful artist.

[maryjapa68]

this is realy beatiful

[Jgerman]

Wish the audience wouldnt clap through it. Its not a labour club sing song LOL

[petewilliamp]

Ok she's singing over the edited original and playing over it also but the sound of this song is definitely the original.....it's unlike Tori to do this.

[petewilliamp]

I think Tori is the best female singer/songwriter ever but surely she is miming in this - compare it to the other live videos of this song on Youtube and she is singing live in them but in this one, she is miming.....it is so like the original.

[stoff101]

She's not miming. At worst, she's singing over the top of the - albeit very edited - original. She's playing the piano too, again, over the backing track, but she's still playing it. If you'd have been in the studio, you'd have been able to tell!

[stareleades]

there's some shows in the U.K strangely enough where the singers have to mime

like GMTV

no matter how amazing the singers they all mime

even if they dont usually

[uforikboi]

She looks re invented. I love her straight hair and bangs, she still looks quite youthfull.I hope to hear some more new stuff fom her soon.

[crypticMoon]

she's wearing a wig, but still, it's a nice wig. Although I prefer the wig she wears as her 'Santa' character

[uforikboi]

Wow, American Doll Posse! Those are some nice wigs as well! Can a Tori fan guide me into why she created ADP? Is it a way to point out the idiocy of Pussycat Dolls and promote herself a better way than them as a role model???

[uforikboi]

Ok, I read about ADP. I see the political aspect she is presenting as a woman in 2007. Verses her personal aspects of Little Earthquakes. I am slowly learning. She is so brilliant I feel completely retarded.

[barzero]

She always re-invent herself. Since Under The Pink her albuns always have a straight different concept one from another, and since Strange Little Girls she's powering a lot the images to the concepts, I mean... creating chacters and acting like they were a living part of herself, like the girls from Strange Little Girls, or Scarlet from Scalet's Walk, the Beekeeper and now the Posses.

[uforikboi]

=0) thank you. I was too much into Kate Bush and hated when people compared Tori and Kate. I can decipher Kate to a degree, but Tori I keep as a mystery and revere her with the utmost respect. She is brilliant and I wish I could covet every breath she sang, but she is like reading the entire encyclopedia. I feel so stupid, so behind for not keeping up with her music. I need to get Piece by Piece and read it. She is fucking beyond beyond amazing and it has taken 15 years for me to realize it that

[barzero]

Tori is a genius and don't feel stupid for not keeping up with her music 'cause they're really tough even the easy ones. They're a lot personal and makes sense only in her mind but for each one of us each one of them makes different senses and that's the briliantism of her music. Tori is for sure the most expressive artist of her generation, I have no doubt of that. She's a great singer, an excelent piano player and composer, an excelent lyricist, compreensive, extremely creative and inteligent.

[narbularity]

OMG How did I miss this I love her !!!!!

[LuisCaicedo]

I want to find the sheet to this song so bad, i anyone knows where to find it, please message me, i'd love you 4 it ;)

[Shayna809]

LOVE Tori..Love the song..love the performance

[nin56665]

the older she gets the better she looks!

[ENeithneYA]

i love her eyes...=)

they're so pretty...well tori is pretty =)

[ghbarnes]

She is singing live but i don't think she is playing the piano live. The AOL sessions version was amazing - it's a shame it has gone from youtube.

[uforikboi]

Tori faking piano playing? Highly doubtful! I do believe I see the soundboard moving within the Bösendorfer. It is something to do with the pedals she is pressing with her feet. No room to write how a piano works. I doubt a piano like that would go to waste on stage with her, she humps them. I would as well if I had her talent, money and the bass strings were tuned correctly.....

[Mikyevanescence]

No, she's a little bald now. From the lottapianos tour.

[Lamykopatygaros]

Some people can make things happen. Thanks Tori... Love this track!

[boterop1988]

amazing!!

[boterop1988]

amazing!!

[blade004]

One of the VERY FEW artists that actually sounds better Live than on either their associated music clip or on the actual CD recording :)

[geekmagestik]

that's my girl ;)

I love her anyway she dresses

[jessika7381]

of the alter egos, the santa wig and the clyde wig are really cute. I saw here in Omaha and she came out with the blonde wig and it was saucy, but I hate this orange wig, I miss her real hair.

[bethgib]

tori I love always all your perforamces...

[CouganSmith]

Does anyone miss Tori Amos before the alter-egos? Or am I completely alone here?

[sapostol1]

No, Cougan, you are not alone... I miss her too.

[connorlalitte]

same, but its alright i suppose

[jjjconrad]

maybe her hair fell out???

[ScarletsBeautifulLie]

No, Tori still has hair, silly. She had to wear a wig because after the first act, when she was wearing a wig as one of the dolls, she had only a few minutes to change and her hair would have been really messed up...

[arg189]

I miss her curly red head

[anithapunk]

she's wonderfull, i love the way she plays the piano and the way she sincronize with the piano, she sings awesome, love her eyes and her hair

she's awesome

[zzzonezz]

she is playing you,

and me :-)

[ScarletsBeautifulLie]

Too bad she didn't play the whole song. Her eyes look great, though, and her voice is strong. She's so energetic. I too miss her real hair though. In three years, maybe we'll see it again... They did a nice job editing this together, you see her hands, her fabulous shoes, her face. :)

[KittieRose]

Also where can I get a wig like that :O

[KittieRose]

Amazing hair, wish I could get mine like that.

[natashaclaire]

um, people, it's a WIG! Human hair does not look like that (thankfully!) I miss her real hair...

[KittieRose]

Well I can't tell because of the y00t00b quality but the colour is still beautiful.

[natashaclaire]

okay, sorry if I sounded harsh, but please don't get your hair like that! One Wendy wig in the world is enough;-)

[pumpkinpjays]

You say you're waiting on fate,

but I think fate is now waiting on us...

one of the best songs off ADP. I'm so glad I got to hear it twice during her tour!

[Imran518]

That´s what I call pure talent... she´s so amazing... I love her...

[sabastianpurr]

I love Tori Amos.

[BetoWater]

We could boOoOoOOuuncing, off the top of this CloOoOoUud :D

[Banditos07]

HAhahHAHhahHAHAhahaHAHAhhaaa

[BetoWater]

...I've put on my silver ;)

[LuisCaicedo]

Hey if anyone could get me the sheet for this song(Piano) i would really appreciate it! please lemme know if you have it!

Hey, si alguien tene la partitura en piano de esta canción de Tori, Porfavor diganme donde encontrarla, o mándenmela porfa!

[metodex]

i hate the people clapping

[Ale2425]

i haven´t found any video off of this new album, is there one out?

[dragoness17]

That's the artist who NEVER uses playbacks. I admire her marvellous talent!

[Kontaminado]

she is gorgeous great artist!

[IQuestionAuthority]

OMG - did Tori get a nose job and drop like, 25 pounds? I barely recognize her!! I seriously hope she didn't sell out and get plastic surgery, because I have always seen her as the "take me as I am" kind of artist.

[vsilver839]

She didn't. I think you are noticing how the wig is pulling at her face a bit--maybe?

[MayhBurz]

Beautiful

[E12FRED]

I love TORI AMOS

[shibamatachick]

Kate Bush can not be likened to this wonderful mortal. Kate afterall is the goddess.

[penischocolate13]

she is amazing, my inspiration

i love all her songs

[leneyoyo]

I totally love Tori and her music, have all her albums and most of her singles but, that wig look just doesn't make it for me...

Please tell me it's a wig!

Awesome song, the only one I REALLY liked from her newest album.

[sexysebastian]

you sir are a retard!

[depeche88]

so nice

[slottech69]

She's hot for being 44. Very talented lady.

[lazlopanoflex]

She is amazing...and gorgeous. I can't believe she's almost 50

[becham2007]

She is amazing. I get chills everytime I hear or see her.

[JoelOfFinland]

She`s incredible! :D

[Arkanix]

Well the argument has always been Kate Bush or Tori. Although some comparisons can be made...It's the same with any artist. I saw Tori Live. Playing one piano amazing. Playing 4 at the same time...Unreal. Thats was for Strange little girls tour

[videofanandmore]

I saw this performance when it was on the Graham Norton show and was blown away by it. Not only is Tori's singing and musicianship superb, but the camera work is stunning.

[Greeny2112]

Tori needs to marry me. Juliana or Tori, who is more talented and gifted? I say both!

[mrrichardfeder]

««Cloudy-howd!!&ra­quo;»

Bubblegum, Amos-style = way more than the sum of its parts. The 60's lives.

[glitterqueen]

she is so beautiful in this video!

i really want to see her live!

[RElShami]

I hope you get to see her someday, glitterqueen. I saw her back in college, and she was FREAKIN' AMAZING.

[glitterqueen]

i bet she was!

my sister went to see her, but i didnt get the chance.

i picked her up from the venue and i got to see her get on her tourbus.

i screamed because i was so excited :)

[saltywounds]

Tori is amazing, we love her we love her

but time constraints are so evil and bitchy to amazing artists like her. Can't they shorten the content of the actual show just a little bit to make room for all four minutes of Bouncing Off Clouds?

[b0ynumber]

What a waste of time this video is, i mean, the best part of the song is the "make it easy, easaaay, eaaasayey" part, and she just skips right past it!

Tori's music is beyond anything i've heard, but her videos and live shows, are really just shitty!

[lemonzebra0]

totally agree - the album version is better and I have to say i still go for Kate Bush as her talent is more consistent but this song is more addictive than any of Kates on her most recent album.

[I6Newton]

If you have a starved soul you will love all of Tori's music. Beyond emotions...

[lemonzebra0]

what does that mean l6? I just find this song addictive. It is somewhat melancholic, I agree - a lot of club songs are melancholic songs disguised as upbeat - gives them flavour

[I6Newton]

A starved soul is what most have. Souls looking to be expressed and understood. She transcends the subtle.

[lemonzebra0]

OK, thanks for explaining. I think probably almost everyone has a starved soul on that basis.

Best wishes

[lemonzebra0]

This song is driving me mad. Never been into Tori (more Kate Bush) but saw this on Graham Norton and bought the album. This song is like the 'crack' of music and hopefully I'll get more into the rest of the album!

[calptq]

Isn't she not sorta playing the character that the song is supposed to be from and about? That's not a normal outfit or hairstyle for her. She is an artistic giant and completely misuderstood in this Comment and Response run.

[allitwantedbythunder]

No, I don't think she "isn't sorta not." Which hairstyle or outfit was the normal one? Where did you see it? I think she's into wigs these days because her natural hair's gone thin and wiry. She's also looking a lot more toned now than she did a couple years ago. Her music is better than ever.

[serpentsally]

who is graham norton

[jus2sik]

well hes a irish comedian who does a show over in uk and ireland, its preet funny, you should check it out, there are afew shows of his uploaded on here already

[serpentsally]

I love tori, this is her best album in years.

[delanoca]

shut up haters. this song is great and i love it. she was rushed because it was a show-ending performance.

[symbolt]

she seems a little rushed or scared. i wonder how they got that kind of lightning in a live performance - makes the performance look a little like anime

[outtogetu747]

I DONT LIKE IT!

[luisangel86]

if she goes to that tv show, i don't understand why she hasn't come to México... a shame.

[rubberdu]

I love this song

[foongabasthor]

the rest of the album is shit.

[extraordinarym]

you suck . . .no it doesn't . . . you're just too stuppid to get it . . .loser

[foongabasthor]

what, are you some kind of sicko millitant fan? why is someone "stupid" or a "loser" just cos' they don't like a pop album?

idiot.

[extraordinarym]

eat me

[extraordinarym]

and it isnt pop ./ . . shut up

[lsmotaei]

sorry honey...but this is as pop as it gets. Don't get me wrong. I adore Tori Amos, but she officially jumped the shark on the 2nd half of to venus and back...it happens. Talent is never static. It's either growing or fading.

[extraordinarym]

pop as it gets . . . . whatever i hate you

[sixhardones]

That's right, Ismoetc., her talent began to fade, "officially," halfway through TO VENUS AND BACK. In fact, it was halfway through what would otherwise have been a pretty decent song. Her talent began to grow again during the first six notes of this song, and that's why I wanted to catch just the start of this vid and then hit the pause button real fast. Whew! It's tough being discriminating, isn't it. And then everyone thinks you're an asshole.

[lsmotaei]

Yeah...such is the plight of those trying to maintain a degree of taste when it comes to the music they praise...I understand your pain. God forbid anyone use thier intellect to enjoy art in this country.

Shame about Tori. Arguably one of the most brilliant composers of the last 30 years before...well, you know.

[allitwantedbythunder]

Ismotaei, sweetheart, every time you speak here people make fun of you. Don't you realize that? You need to listen for the sarcasm. Use your intellect.

[lsmotaei]

Um...okaaay. Sure, I'm truly glad people here were able to enjoy themselves at my expense both of the times I "spoke" here. In fact, I totally see now how every detail of sixhardones response was meant to be comprehensively sarcastic. I apologize for atrociously failing to exercise my intellect.

[allitwantedbythunder]

Truly, Ismotaei, don't you enjoy the music when you come to this page to post a comment? There's a very pretty song here waiting for you to appreciate it. Really lots of talent on display.

[penischocolate13]

i love tori- my biggest inspiration

[luca1984]

I saw her in Zurick- get your tickets guys. She is AMAZING. The best.

[serpentsally]

when is the American tour?

[riottori]

No way is she miming. If you notice with Tori, she always changes the songs slightly (either notes or pronunciation of words) I think to prove that she is not miming. I'm seeing her tomorrow in Athens. Yay! Bring it!!!!

[meermoon]

she is amazing,she sings to her songs like a water,yess she will be in here I mean istanbul: )but unfortunately I wont go to concert:( may be next time..

[stargazer1907]

she will be in Istanbul at July,15th... I will propose her at the concert :)) so lovely, so cute, so talented, so beautifum and so mine :p

[demon658]

you u.k people are lucky...i did'nt get this on american tv. will this run on bbc america???

p.s tori is the best singer songwriter ever and this show is funny as hell!

[riamari]

it's on BBC America. If you have comcast.. it's on demand under BBC

[Rach443]

When was this??

[fabstervroom]

I missed this on telly - received over 8 text messages to tell me to turn to Graham Norton show LOL - Thank you youtube and for posting this :D

[teresagabriel]

I looooooooooooooooooooooove Tori Amos. She is such a special spirit. Celtic goddess warrior healer. BEAUTIFUL.

[fabiotylerdurden]

Bellissima.....lei e la canzone...

[cb82]

I am a huge tori fan, but I have a sneaking suspiscion this is being mimed :(

[natashaclaire]

make this easy, it's not as heavy as it seems....;)

[randular]

I think she used a backing track ,where is the drummer and the bass player, and the guitar that you can hear on the track? Also the "I think fate is now" harmonies....

[Crazytboi]

i swear shes got some beautiful eyes, along with a beautiful voice

[HerNerdeysen]

As if any more proof were needed that Tori is an absolute legend - what a performance.

And how good is the song? ADP is the second best album she has ever done!!

[cadmantheaviator]

Astonishing.

What a performance.

Why have I let Tori sit in the background for years...

This performance has converted me.

Tremendous.

[gfitz85]

Great to see Tori back This song was cut rather short lol Watch the repeat show sunday night it is running for 15 mins more maybe the song be shown in full it looks edited btw

[LamiaPandora]

i like Body and Soul and Teenage Huslin......you could say i love Pip =)

[pumpkinpjays]

Me too.

[dioseolo]

the best song of her new album, just amazing.

[mooky9669]

great post!! too bad she didn't do the "make this easy"... part and made her shorten it....I wish this would be on BBC America
