Thank you both! For singing my song so beautifully, and with such heart, Violet. For fighting antisemitism, all of you. Heartfelt thanks. I can't sing any more, and this helped my journey through that devastation immensely.
Your talent and sweet voice is still in the hearts of your fans.
I spent high school singing your songs. Thank you for that gift. Be well
I would have said nobody could do justice to your version of your own song, but she does an excellent job.
This is your legacy Janis.
You(re still singing.
Dave has said many times that Violet is the most talented singer in the family. I think this performance confirms that idea. Stunning.
She’s him all over again ❤
I'm sure the family dog sings better than Dave, but it doesn't write like him!
The rock legend beaten by his own daughter. It's got to suck right lol poor Dave 🤭 but I suppose that's the aim in life with kids right 👍
@@GR_BackingTracksthat's not very nice, Dave's a wonderful singer
We q shut😊shy
I still have this on 45. Violet did an absolutely amazing job!! Serious Proud Papa vibes from Dave. ❤️
I absolutely believe she could record this, with a modern jazz reorg and put it out now and she will be instantly catapulted to number one! Thank you Dave for allowing us to be a part of your life and watching Violet grow up like proud aunts and uncles from afar. Just a beautifully talented young lady.
Stop being weird. Nobody feels like fucking aunts or uncles. Proud ones at that
We need music back with substance...❤. This is it imo!
Watching Violet grow, and her voice gets more and more elegant. Wow! floored by this performance.
I was about to say Janis Ian would be proud of that cover and look, SHE IS!! what a beautiful voice Violet has and what a great groove you put on this song! thank you
That was the most moving, and honest cover of At 17, since I was that age and Janice Ian sang it on the radio. What a talent, Violet Grohl has! Real tears, here.
Same❤️
I'm so glad we get to hear Violet's voice again this year! So beautiful and talented!!
@@JesuIsTheOnlyWayToSalvation What the hell are you blathering on about...none of that actually applies to me, but nice try. Guess you don't like when other more talented people than yourself receive compliments? You enjoy your Christmas and get bent! 🙂🖕
@@JesuIsTheOnlyWayToSalvation what?
I hope Violet pursues a music career. That voice is unbelievable!
of corz she will its in her blood :)
She already does
8:11 I am sure she will and Dave will be her advisor
With a rich and famous dad, she's guaranteed success.
I think her voice is getting better/stronger every time I hear her sing
The world needs another Carly Simon, Janis Ian, Carol King..
Jonatha Brooke, Bridget Kearney, Phoebe Bridgers, Brandi Carlisle...
The song that defined the lives of so many young girls back when and now, so beautifully done.
So tender, so poignant, and a respectful understanding of Janis Ian's own original.
I think I first heard this song when I was in 4th or 5th grade, probably through my Mom. She was in college when it came out. I immediately felt seen. I still feel seen. It's a timeless friend. An ever-reaching melody. Thank you, Janice. For your kind honesty and truth that has been a comfort to so many generations.
And thank you Violet, Dave, and Greg for bringing it back in such a touching, lovely way.
Love to you all and yours.
Hanukkah Sameach! 🕎
I think this is the most beautiful version of this song! Simply stunning
Violet seems to be an old soul as she gets the honesty, beauty and pain of lyrics like this. Such a sweet and takented young woman, I really enjoy seeing her perform. Happy holidays all!
Beautiful, soulful voice with impeccable timing, and loved Dave's deft touch on the drums. Pianist in the interval though, needs to remember this isn't about him; his noodling was way out of step with the mood and timbre and distracted from Violet's tone. But, wow.
You know, i dont listen as much to Foo Fighters as i used to, but the Hanukka specials, i never miss them. We dont get much special stuff in our holidays, no one tells us happy new year on Rosh HaShana or happy Pesach. In school it always made me feel so alone, most i got was a mocking from my classmates because i was absent for a special holiday, that between the regular hate and words i don't want to repeat. This is special, this is unique and makes me feel like we can be seen too, a little, even if its a small holiday, its special.
Thank you for giving me a reason to smile every Hanukka, thanks for bringing us some light.
Sorry you feel that way. I don't think it was made to make you feel that way, though.
Happy Hanukkah!
This godless Scottish lad stands with Jews against the hate. Always.
Here’s an atheist against discrimination towards religions. Being pro-Jewish isn’t pro-Israel, if you want to get political. Antisemitism is bad. Everyone should have their faith or lack of it in a deity, or several.
Shallom
You can come to Israel. And you won't feel alone.
Violet was born to sing, she's amazing 🤩
Hello, How are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
Wonderful rendition. Her voice echoes Janis' sometimes delicate roughness which just oozes honesty and sincerity.
I agree, this is beautiful.
Wow guys,, thanks for having Violet sing tonight! She seems like an old soul. That girl has got her daddy's talent and then some!
She is amazing! Don’t want her to stop singing this song. She really needs to record this.
Just incredible!!
Yes! We need good music like this!!!!!! Refreshing!❤❤❤
The great voice of Violet make me feel Happy there Will be a new good Singer. Thank you Foo, thank you Violet.
Ms. Ian- This song was released while I was in high school and, while I'm male, it struck a chord with me and with many of my friends. I was thrilled when At Seventeen won the Grammy that year against stiff competition, I must confess that I hadn't thought of the song in eons and, now, hearing Violet's rendition, I feel its timelessness. No song has ever captured the feeling of being an awkward teeneager as this one does. Thank you for everything you've done, from Society's Child on. Your legacy lives on! Ray
What a lovely voice. Brought back memories of high school. Very touching preformance.⭐️ 2:35
That has to be the most restrained Dave has ever been behind a kit! A perfect selection for Violet’s voice. Beautiful treatment of this iconic song.
He’s quite restrained when he plays for Violet. Her Amy Winehouse cover last year was phenomenal!
Great players play to the song and the singer.
This shows his versatility. We all know he can play loud and hard, but he's also excellent at soft Jazz playing.
That song is a classic. Perfectly interpreted. It's always a pleasure to see musical talent passed down to the next generation.
I just read Dave’s book and he talks about how when Violet was three years old, she was already zeroing in on harmonies, vocal styles and pitch. She probably gets it more from her grandmother Virginia who also sang. Dave is all raw shred and no vibrato. Violet is all about technique.
What a sublime voice. And the hug with Dad at the end, so precious.
Violet blew me away at the Taylor tribute in LA! Love this version, her voice is beautiful. Dave looks so proud! ❤
Hello, How are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
What a talented girl is Violet!!! ❤
Honestly so good that even I'm having a proud dad moment and I have no children ^^ Phenomenal performance!
Brava, Violet! Such a warm voice for an iconic song. Congratulations!
Jew here.
1. This is beautiful
2. This is a treat every year
3. You make us feel seen in a very Christian country. Appreciated Dave.

The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree! What a delightful young lady with a Billion dollar voice. Happy Hanukkah everyone!
Oh my G#d, her voice! The control, the emotion she brings to her phrasing, it’s something that can’t be taught, she has her dad’s feeling of rhythm, if you listen for it, she syncopates the beat when she feels it but never loses time. I remember hearing her sing backup at her very first show. This girl is going to make her own mark in the world, I can promise you, just watch!
She has a voice and must have a really proud father
What a gorgeous song! Thanks everyone!
I always felt this song was for me when I was in High School. Then in College, I found that none of that mattered, and I found my beautiful self inside, and the beauty shined outward. What a lovely rendition by Violet Ghrol ❤
Me too
Good for you. Some people deal with Esteem issues their entire life
Violet has always had a stellar voice but she sounds better each time I hear her. Very talented young lady who’s voice is only getting more rich and mature. I’m so excited to see what she will do in the future.
Oh wow! Janis Ian! Violet did this song justice. Thanks, beautiful girl.
There is a comment from janis Ian thanking violet and the rest for there work.
Lovely rendition of an important song. The work is just as relevant today as when the world first heard it.. More Violet Grohl, please!! Thanks for the Hannukah gifts again this year.
Proud papa right there and pure talent!
Wow..absolutely amazing violet grohl
@tele_gramFooFighters1. 👍
Wow!! I remember this song. 🙌🏻Violet. You did a great job!! Sounds just like the original 😁
Hello, How are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
I don't think I've ever paid attention to the lyrics till now, and gotta admit, Violet's voice and Janice's lyrics pulled a few tears from my eyes this morning
Absolutely fantastic, Violet you have a beautiful voice 💞 and your dad is my hero 🥹🥰 merry Christmas to all xx
Hello, How are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
I’m sure I’ve heard this song 100 times growing up- but not sure I listened to the lyrics until today. My mother adores Janice. With Janice not being able to sing any more- Violet gave Life to this song- she channeled Janice’s voice and soul in this. So rarely can an iconic song be be done so flawlessly like the original artist.
What a proud Papa you must be Mr. Grohl!!! That has to be one, if not THE, best renditions of that song I've ever heard!!!! Great job Violet!!!!!
Glad this just randomly showed up on my youtube, Friggin Amazing
Violet nailed it as always. Great Job.
Thank you Violet and the whole band
Genuinely one of my favorite tunes from my childhood and she really nails it. Brilliant!
Did Dave promise to take Violet swimming again? Very nice, well posted, keep up the good work.
She has a very beautiful and special voice. Reminds me of Norah Jones. ❤ Dave must be so proud of her wonderful daughter.
Just a beautiful version of Janis' song. And bless you for not conforming, trying to "fit in" with the societal norms of that kookie voice that so many young ladies are trying to copy over and over. You stayed true to YOU! As a Jewish American with a long and bright heritage, I'm grateful for your efforts against the evils of hatred and antisemitism. Thank you for being part of this. Maybe one day you can cover one of my songs. "Only for you" would suit your soft voice nicely I think. :-)
Go from last year's offering to this year's and you just sit there and go wow. What an incredible voice and yes, I got teary watching dad give daughter a big hug and being so proud for her!
Violet soooo good ..
great song choice
Beyond GOOD ❤
amazing! anything Violet touches is brilliant!...amazing talent ...Dave must be so proud...
Bravo Voilet! You have a supremely excellent voice and your guitar playing ain't too shabby either
Merry Christmas Everyone 🎄
Happy holidays.
Such a monumental song of my youth. Wonderful.
Nailed it. A big song. Simple as that.....she just nailed it. Beautiful.
She has such a beautiful voice that she wouldn’t need to have a famous musician for a father to make it, if it was all based on talent alone. He’ll make sure she’s noticed, though, and doesn’t get lost like so many talented people do. I wish her a huge amount of luck!
Very Amy winehousey vibes great work violet!!!
For me, I find that Violet, at almost 17, has great command of using her voice to interpret the emotion of this song. Terrific cover!
So back when that song came out I was a young kid,16. I would secretly listen to it, loved it! But I knew what my buddy's would have said and done! Lol. It would have been brutal!!! Lol. Thank you violet 💜 Great job!! Now I can beat them up so I don't worry so much.
🕎🤘🕎🤘🕎🤘🕎🤘🕎🤘🕎
So. Well. Done.
Great job, y'all! Thank you 🙏🏻
The father-daughter hug at the end was priceless ❤️
Be good to you 🤍💛
Who were the horns on this? They deserve a shout out too! ❤️
I love Janis Ian! The first musical performer ever on Saturday Night Live!
sweet! Did not know that!
i cry watching this, my 17 are going to end and I didn't enjoy it at all.
my word thats special
Great job. Would be interesting if she could do a song with Chris Cornell's daughters
Stunning performance, Violet! ❤
Stunning! You have a very soulful voice. Beautiful!
Violet is getting more confident and sounds better every time I see her perform. She's awesome! This was just a beautiful cover. Saving to my music playlist!
Happy Hanukkah 🕎 Merry Christmas 🎄
Violet has such a lovely talent. She knocked this right out of the park. She really did.
My mother bought Janis Ian’s album when I was 6 years old. I loved when she played At Seventeen. As a teen I snuck the album into my room and listened over and over. I so related to that girl in the song. And at 52, I am overwhelmed with the emotions I still experience from it. This cover is beautiful. Thank you 🤍
Violet you have an amazing vibrato and beautiful voice. Bravo 👏
WOW. Continue to listen from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. A beautiful voice!
Beautifully done. Thank you.
Amazing, I can't believe she knows all the lyrics to such a complex song!
Absoulety Devine Violet, thank you Foo Family 🎤💜
BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for this!!
exquisitely sung. So touching. Thank you.
Jezus fuck I had no idea you were just 16 here, you sing like you're 20 yrs older. The nuance, the emotion, you nailed this.
Gave me goosebumps. Lots of memories attached to this song. 🥰
I cried like a Baby!
Beautiful voice and such a Great Arrangement too. Always loved the song I know love it more, thank you FF!
Comment if you’d love to meet Dave or kurstin and why you’d want to meet either!
💜the apple sure didn’t fall from the tree!Gorgeous💜
This should/must be recorded. When a prefect song like 17 is equalled, that’s something.
You own this and the message still shine through.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Violet's voice is so smooth and beautiful, sounds polished beyond her years. Please keep singing and developing your voice.
Such a beautiful song and Violet has such a soulful, pure quality to her voice. 🥺
You can see a Dad's pride for his daughter there
Such a gorgeous performance by Violet, and Dave Grohl’s restraint on the drums was perfect. Rest of band’s bridge was a little too much jazz hands 👐 but whatevs. Stunning vocals, Violet. Can’t wait to hear more from you.
Love this. I remember listening to this song with my dad when I was coming to age. We both loved this rendition that captured the emotion of the song perfectly.
A timeless song for the ages. Thank you janis. And, thank you for the beautiful new renditions for new times. Beautifully done, violet growl. Looking forward discovering more of your music.
Wow, she is amazing. What an original, unique voice, unlike so many other young girl singers who try to emulate their heroes. She's truly one of a kind.
Merry Christmas from Brasil and Happy New Years! 2023 it's gonna be insane!
Dave your daughters amazing! Plz heart this comment I’m an 11 yr old!
We need more of this, and also Taylor Swift to eat your heart out. You should challenge your audience with some more intellectual music like this, instead of pandering.
Beautiful and rich poetry sung by Dave's baby girl. Janis Ian wrote and sang a gorgeous beautiful story easy to visualize. Absolutely stunning. ❤❤
