I love her remakes. oH MAN, her voice is BEAUTIFUL. She can make any song sound hauntingly beautiful. It gave me chill bumps. (and it’s hot as Hades where I’m at!)

A very good choice of cover, especially in light of how it ties in with Maybe California’s theme of mothers who feel hopeless (Britney’s predicament when she went “off the rails”/losing her children in a custody battle etc). I thought it was beautiful – everything from the spoken intro preceding the song to the Not The Red Baron-esque piano-tinkering during this, to the grit in the vocal about 3 and a half minutes in during the chorus.
It’s good to see this getting some publicity in light of the poor ticket sales on this North American leg of the tour. Britney Spears may just have helped Tori Amos turn things around. Never thought I’d say that……

i love it whenever tori covers songs! even if they’re wildly popular songs and i’ve heard them a million times before, she somehow brings something entirely new to them! i think my favorite cover she does is smells like teen spirit- it’s so beautiful! EVERYthing she does is beautiful! thanks for posting!

@Chase — “late” for what? Tori covers aren’t necessarily “timely” … ie. she prolly won’t be doing any Lady Gaga on tour. She performs the songs as they come to her. Besides, I think she alluded that she was inspired by seeing Britney’s photo hung in the venue and she’s never covered Britney before.

Isn’t it 10 years too late or something? Seems kind of odd…

Tori really can do anything. It’s probably why I admire her so much. I’m seeing 2 shows on this tour because no 2 setlists are ever the same. Tori shows are my favorite.

Tori killed that! Thanks for sharing. Travis did a brilliant acoustic cover of “Hit Me” for a radio or tv show years ago & it ended up on b-side of theirs. MuchMusic Canada was playing the original “Hit Me” easily 6 months before it was released in the US & it totally stopped me in my tracks. Regardless of the fact that Britney blew it up, “Hit Me” has a fantastic melody & tension. Oop, here’s a link to the Travis cover:

Tori truly is one of the few remaining contemporary musicians that strikes her own path, following her own vision and goals. True to her amazing talent, she varies her setlists every night. I think it is important for people to understand that this song was a one-time thing, and not a permanent fixture in the setlist. An amazing cover, considering that she performs a new one almost every night. Great to see more Tori on your site, Trent!
