A performance as beautiful as the woman herself. Nobody can hold a crowd like Tori!

pretty damn good version and this is coming from a hard core JJ fan!!

SO nice to hear a Joe Jackson song covered so brilliantly! Great up.

What a fantastic rendition of a song that only becomes more relevant with each passing year..

I usually don't comment on music because we all have our favorites from the past, but Tori reallly performs the Joe Jackson song to bring one to tears. Where the hell did Tori go? She's so good here.

Love the original, love her cover even more.

My god, this woman can do no wrong. Amazing.

I adore when Tori covers other folks' music, as much as I like her own. She finds shades and colors that no one else does.

She's got balls of steel. and TALENT, intelligence, and strength..wish she'd get more press

Brilliant rendition of Joe Jackson’s masterpiece. Only Tori and a piano here!

I love Tori, and she looks beautiful here. A nice cover. She puts her own "spin" on it.

There's this gorgeous vocal inflection between the words "the" and "real" in this that's not on the album version. It's enchanting

I was reading this comment just as she sang it…my whole body reacted. Everything about this rendition is beautiful.

I love her rendition. her INTERPRETATION of the song is what makes it so original.

The entire concept of the album is Tori covering songs about women. She turns her on concept on it's head by covering this song as the last song on the album.

This performance is perfect, Tori on her game

nice version of the Joe Jackson classic written in 1983 --- we still have a long way to go on these topics great song

Beautiful cover. I like both of the versions, both are different. Its neat hearing Tori sing softer, making the lyrics really pop.

The point of the album was the change the meaning of all the songs. They are all songs written by men and she used them from a womans point of view. Brilliant concept if you ask me.

Fucking Amazing as always, She Drips with class and Talent...A rare breed these days

"Rain" - Joe Jackson's new album is released on January 28th 2008. It's awesome!!!

she sang it beautifully

Perhaps my favorite of all the various, brilliant covers she has recorded or performed. Stunning.

I am continually astounded by the depth of this woman...How apropos that she performed this one around the time of 9/11. I love her cover of "Time" that she did then too. This song was one that I was not familiar with until the Strange Little Girls album. And hearing my favorite female artiste perform it, and give it even more teeth is really disarming. Tori's the best, and that's why she's the queen, no matter what she's exploring musically or philosophically. Much love to you, Tori!!

This song is one of several Tori did on her Strange little girls album, where she covers songs exclusively written by men. There is no doubt that Tori has earned her title as an original singer/songwriter. If she wants to do cover songs in adition to her own material, that`s HER choice.

she's so beautiful here 😍

I never loved this song until seeing this. Amazing! Love it better live as usual

Man, I can't believe I ain't seen this performance until now. It as though she sang every word straight from her heart (even though they aren't originally her words). I've never been touched by this song so intensely until this performance.

Stunning.

Beautiful! I love Tori AND Joe Jackson's music.

Absolutely brilliant. If one can't see how "ORIGINAL" this cover of "Real Men" is, then one clearly does not get (and clearly never will get) Tori.

Great Cover, by a Great Artist!!!

Perfection.

This cover is soooo good.

Excellent performance of this cover. As usual. :)

What?! Haha, this is an awesome cover by an incredible performer . Shes stunning and her spin on the song is hauntingly effective. Original and cover...... no better just different. Depends what you heard first. I cant listen to the original after having heard this first. I like it more than the original IMHO, but just my opinion. Her voice is impeccable as is her piano.

I love this song.

this performance makes my blood run cold

she's amazing....

Both great versions!

This performance is like butta. It gets better and better towards the end too!

BRAVO !!

If Tori Amos is the wind, Joe Jackson is the hurricane.

wonderfully heartbreaking. love you T!

Gorgeous....

Still so relevant ❤

both versions rock!

OMG, came from Joe Jackson to Tori Amos, love them both too!

Thank you for posting this. Great, great performance.

haunting.....

@tramtrackharry I disagree. I love Joe and love his original, but I think Amos provides a really interesting interpretation and performance. Even Joe really likes Tori's version.

Thank you Jorge

She's a complete freak, but I have to say that even though I'd never listen her other stuff, she really does a great job of bringing out the beautiful melodies of this song. I actually prefer it as I write this to the Joe Jackson album version, and I'm a HUGE fan of his.

Actually i think I am proud that someone picked up on such a very great ( and poigniant ) song; fook me in the time nobody cared about the issues in this song so if Tori has propogated it good one her... Oh yeah you all heard this song before and obviously were a JJ fan since "Sunday Papers" ... Don't piss me off now!

mmmm, the talented ms. Tori Amos outstanding job on a cover of a joe jackson song.

❤❤❤❤

tori is fucking great!!! Smoke some ganj put in anything, but preferably to Venus and Back. That will be an unforgettable experience. My dad's music god is Jimi Hendrix, and he neve has liked music I listen to except for Tori. He says he can tell she is genuine.

A fair effort at englands best songwriter ever,Joe Jackson. Why Joe never got the true deserved recognition for how good he is puzzles me. He is a legend and no one can sing his songs as good as he does but i might be biased lol.

my mom is soooo obsesed with her

This is a message to all of you parents, Father died recently, was going blind. Tori Amos can play the piano, blind, David Gilmore (pink Floyd) can play the frets blind. I can play the hundred or so songs when the lights are out. Short term, helping them to make money is fine, but I built my first guitar. Start your kids early if they have a yearning to play an instrument. It's really an act of love for your children.

I miss her

Wow. All this phillipic discussion about Tori's facial expressions! I've always considered her to be flirting with the audience through t.v. Kind of really trying to invite people into her world. I think she does it majically.I've often wondered how the camera operaters feel when she looks down the lens;does it disconcert them a bit? I can see how people might think she's being sexual, sometimes she may want to be...I just view her looks as an enticing invitation, that am always glad to accept.

recommend!

I didn't give you a thumbs down but I couldn't disagree with you more. Beautiful style on a beautiful song. love the artistic interpitation.

It's a great song. Regardless of whether Joe or Tori sing's it.

@KaitainCPS yes, 1982, thank you for pointing that out

good cover

I'm glad, too! And nobody should flame you--you flamed yourself :>)

@ufos22 most definitely! Most beautiful woman ever!

I loved the original version by Jo Jackson. This version is different and works mainly due to the performance of the artist. She sounds better but you don't get to appreciate the pain until you have heard Jo's original.

awesome. better than the album version

Nice! WooF!!!

@BabyDillGerkin Was actually released in 1982.

This proves once again that Joe should have got a much well acclaimed "career". Come on Joe, One more time...

@archraskal The purpose of Strange Little Girl's as an album was for Tori to cover typically "masculine" songs from a female perspective. Personally, I totally think it translates as the song deals with sexuality on numerous levels, so based on that it shouldn't matter what sex the person is who sings it. But for you, I would just say... Don't listen to the rest of the album, I don't think you'll like it very much!

@kjulietraven Probably something to do with Kilborn's (slightly) later timeslot?

This sounds really beautiful to me,I don't know the original,I will check it out but I thought this was beautifully done.I think Tori Amos is supertalented and comparing her to Kate Bush I think is entirely useless.I thought when I first heard Tori years ago that she was Kate Bush wannabe but she is totally her own artist and has her own style and take on things.She is a superb pianist and singer and performer.Love her here.

Well, it depends on if you like the Jackson guy, i Don't, never did.. Tori rocks this song with so much feeling. Thanks Tori for being who you are..

Jackson is a great songwriter.

@GirlsThatWearBlue But that lyric is in the original Joe Jackson version too, from 1983..

@tramtrackharry Yes. That's exactly it.

yeah it is. i have a hard time finding what each song means with this album; it's challenging. maybe it's hard because i am a woman, so these songs always felt that way to me?

does Tori have notes hidden under her long sleeves? you can see writing on her hand around 4:25.

Give her more credit-I think she sings this more caring and more intelligent then the original artist.-Joe Jackson is great and Tori is Great.

I don’t get why anyone would compare this to the Joe Jackson original unfavorably. They both have essentially the exact same meaning..

anybody have any idea where i can see a video of tori doing 97 bonnie and clyde live?

yes it's softer but still has her perspective

She covers Joe Jackson

@Mehrfachkeks : She's singing "Na hooooo" instead of "Woah Hoah".

Both the original and her version are wonderful. Why does it have to be one or the other?

I like your comment & gave it a thumb up, although i also believe it doesn't improve Joe Jackson's version and this one isn't getting a 'hight' like Joe reaches one.

Hi ! I don't agree with some persons that say that this song can't be sing by a woman, I even think that the song is "stronger" when it's a woman who sings. 5* ! I didn't know Tori Amos, but I'm gonna listen some of her songs ! BYE !

What year is this?

@LizardWizard7 Maybe because she likes the song......

no comment needed.

Tori never realy proforemed 97 Bonnie and Clyde live.. she always played a recording of it at the begining of all the shows on the tour

@BabyDillGerkin Verrry long way to go mate, you're right - and why do I get the sinking feeling that we are going backwards ? Imagine the reactions when a heavyset long-haired guy looking like a Hell's Angel states he hates soccer with a passion and quotes Jean Genet's poems by heart ? (And I'm not even gay, just to go the whole stereotype way…)
