So glad you liked it! I said it before in this thread, but I really love the way Tori does covers (though, oddly, I can't usually get into her versions of "Landslide," for some reason, but given all the previous sh*t covers of "Edge," I'd be really curious to hear what Miss T came up with for it. ). She has a real knack for being able to make them her own and make them amazing while still holding the original in high regard.
So much so that I can actually put several Tori covers on the list of things I can listen to forever:
Tori doing "
Desperado." If I died while listening to that, the only thing I'd regret is that I'd never get to listen to it again. No joke.
Her
absolutely gorgeous cover of Tom Waits' "Time." Waits is so...Waits, it's really difficult to do a song of his justice, but Tori does it very well. That particular version is extremely moving, coming as it did on Letterman's first day back after 9/11.
Her cover of Led Zep's
"Whole Lotta Love" - OMFG is all I can ever say about that one. It is teh sex. Also, seriously, how cute is she? "Ho-lee, ho-lee, HO-LEEEE." You can hear a bit of "Thank You" at the end, but she also has an equally
amazing full version of "Thank You," too. Beautiful.
And, of course, can't forget her cover of Britney Spears' "
Baby One More Time." That always cracks me up, because when you listen to Britney do it, it's a mediocre pop song, but when Tori does it, it's somehow turned into a meditation on domestic violence...
(For those unfamiliar with Tori, the Tash she refers to in the little monologue at the beginning is her young daughter).
I could go on. I heart Miss T so hard.
