She builds the song masterfully... that's a kinda genius. And the voice is a marvel of color and control...the riffs are used judiciously and to great effect. And then there's the deep loneliness of a woman who feels hollow and desensitized and just wants to be herself again. It's a heartbreaking performance.

I find it fascinating that even though I've heard this song like a million times since it came out (I'm honestly surprised I'm not sick of it by now :P) and interpreted in so many different ways, every single performer brings something totally different. And Shoshana's version is definitely up there in my favorites!

This is the same girl that led sold out shows on a regular basis with her voice when she was a virtual nobody. She was carving herself out a lane to be a legend until Tyler's death. He challenged her to be bigger, be better, and believe she's enough. His death taught her a reality she was just doing a job living in NYC . This performance just shows all of Tyler's lessons coming to fruition. The power of Love ❤❤❤

One of the greatest voices and talents of her generation

She is literally telling a story, the way she connects with the lyrics made me speechless I was captivated from the first to the latest note of the song One of the best singers ever

Attention: NSFW. This video is NSFW. You will be moved out of your chair. Chills will run through your veins uncontrollably. Tears will fall from your eyes. You will be glued to your device.

This is level of performance only comes from years of experience--not only as a professional singer but from personal experience as well. She delivers the song/story with a great deal of wisdom and I think this is what differentiates her performance from other singers' performances. Those little pauses she does is very effective in evoking the idea of the wisdom and introspection. This is by far my favorite interpretation of this song!!!!

Play this version. Put your phone down. Close your eyes. Transcend. Shoshana made my whole body feel like it was made of radio static.

I never got this song before hearing her sing it. Made me cry for my old, hurt, but beautiful self. I'm inspired to find that beauty, again, and never again let her go.💞

breathtaking

This is also referred to as a master class. 🔥

the pianist is incredible!!!

So pure, so clear and such a story teller with an old soul. A real legend.

i love every rendition of this song because each singer portray it in various ways and emotions, but shoshana's capture every emotion like she is telling her story

My family saw her three days ago. It's no exaggeration that she managed to shatter the entire Sunday matinee audience. Everyone was crying and it felt absolutely amazing. She put so much energy that when she finished the audience needed a strong 30 seconds of clapping and sobbing before she could continue.

I'm so emotional right now. This is the sadest way I've ever seen someone perform this song AND THE ENDING OMG

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VERSION. So reallll

She is LIVING this song!!!

This performance is a masterclass. Wow.

Officially the best version of that song I’ve ever heard. The dynamics and intricacies of each phrase were perfectly executed. Amazing. So amazing 🤩🤩🤩

I love the distortion in her belts, especially the top belts in this song. It makes it sound like she’s screaming in anger and resentment. Such a great choice for this song. It’s so emotional 😭
