I love this version, she does it different ways, She's visually stunning, the pure emotion. It's perfect. You can really feel it. I love her voice. One of my favorite artists.
She sings this song with incredible emotion and passion! I've seen different versions of this song but this one is brilliant. She emanates her feelings in such way that can be felt by others.
There is a Personal and very private loss in her life, someone that should be the most important being that will never get to know her. Her first two CD' . Foolish Game's, Daddy, Enter from the East, and all that's not said
She's pissed as hell about something. One of the most powerful performances i've ever seen in my life. I watch each of her live performances and this is by far her best performance !
its my favourite version of this song. Angry Jewel! lol Shes sung it a million times. Good for her to have the guts to experiment and change it up. I feel all the emotion she pours into it. When you think the word while you sing it, it emotes or translates to the listener in a profound way
It is amazing just to watch her facial expressions..just to see her form a single note...just to see the way she moves and how she evokes such emotion within herself-her everything is amazing. Takes my breath away.
I love how this song isn't performed perfectly, it shows true emotion, she's more involved in the message the the way its supposed to be sang, none the less its amazing
This is so spectacular. It's so rare to see a performance like this, she allows herself to be so vulnerable and open with her emotional trauma. Her voice is completely open and uninhibited by social convention or what may have been expected of her as a singer during that time by the people watching/judging her. She is so amazing and free! Completely inspiring.
This song has always touched my soul and in a way I could never articulate. This song just does it all. And, it is so good to FEEEEEL her emotions thru her voice in this rendition. Jewel, you kill me with this version. I feel you! I have sang this for my close friends (home karaoke) and I've made a few of them cry. I have to say, you just topped that!!! I'm glad you let it out!
Isn't it quite strange that literally almost all great and brilliant heart felt songs have been inspired by the most heart wrenching life moments... We all know how intense emotions can shape in some way, what is happening in any one moment of our lives and that is why MUSIC is so powerful. I can relate to this song purely just because of her passion/ energy. My situations have been different but we can all relate to our heart stuff. Brilliant!!!
psh- music snobs. sure its not perfect. but I appreciate raw emotion more than robotic singing. she didn't take it safe and I respect that, whether or not the performance was perfect. i loved every word she spoke.
Eh? This is an absolutely awesome performance, simply stunning. The cold recorded version is but that, a version. Granted, many modern pop singers can never replicate their songs live because their studio performance is auto-tuned to a point where it becomes a synth track instead, but such a case could not be further from this. This performance captures the essence of music, she turns a mere song into a revelation with emotion and superb technical skill.
I always wonder who people are talking about nowadays that are shit live? I hear people say often singers nowadays are bad, but out of the thousands of festivals and concerts I've been to in the last 20 years I can only think of 2 that were bad, black eyes peas and red hot chilli peppers (apparently Anthony had an off day). The rest were all pretty amazing live, so please give me some names?
I come back to this every now and then to gain perspective of real performing arts. Such a far cry from the commercialize sexual drivel force fed to the masses. A real pleasure to hear.
I like that her voice cracked. I like the raw, live performance. Plus, it gives the song more emotion and feeling, which is what she was trying to do, and always does with her songs. I've seen her live and she did the same thing then. She's such a talent.
i can seem to understand why "some" people are hating... some ppl apparently do not know what music is.. jewel is a great artist and she can sing very well.. thishas been the best video i have ever seen and i cannot go without a day without listening to this song. it is a very deep song and she is just..... WOW!! her body language and her face expressions !!!! i find it very sexiii and especially, UNIQUE!! THE BST
HOLY HELL! I've seen Jewel live at Red Rocks & she was great, but OMG this was INCREDIBLE! The emotion she puts into this performance was SO RAW! I swear I thought she was gonna break down crying numerous times. Thank you so much for posting this!!
BEST live performance I have ever seen, its like she's got this megaphone directly connect to her heart and voice coming out so powerful and emotional its touching my heart like a tsunami...totally 100% lost in the song from start 2 finish, I can feel every word deep in my heart...just Brilliant ;-)
Jewel is really a god send. Thank you for showing us love, courage and strength! You will always be part of my whole existence and journey on earth. She is surely a rare beauty in and out for many generations ahead. All my love to her🙏❤️✌️
I named my Daughter after her ... but never told my wife ... only after about 5 years later ...!!!! ... Jewel is bloody awesome!!! ... Love her voice!!
Oh , awesome . I was a kid, when it was recorded, but now I watch this and hear this and I'm really impressed of Jewel's voice . She's a real artist, that's right . Awesome ... Jewel's awesome!
This video gives me chills every-single-god-damn-time i watch it. Shes so passionate in this performance. Don't find this kind of emotion in music today.
In all my life I HAVE NEVER SEEN,HEARD, FELT, SUCH EMOTION FROM A SONG....I ATTENDED SEVERAL OF HER CONCERTS AND ONE OF THE BEST WAS AT THE WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL IN LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA.....THAT SONG HAD ME CRYING SO HARD THAT MY CHEST NEARLY EXPLODED FROM THE PRESSURE OF HURT....IT WAS AMAZING HOW QUIET THE AUDIENCE GOT(could of heard a stick pin drop )...SHE HAD A BEAUTIFUL WHITE DRESS ON AND BARE FEET...AND HER HAND WRITTEN SONG BOOK, AND A FEW GUITARS...SHE IS A GREAT STORY TELLER AND I AM STRANGELY ATTRACTED TO HOW SHE MOVES HER HANDS WHEN SHE IS FEELING DEEP EMOTION...IT IS LIKE A GRADUAL ORGASMIC BENDING OF THE FINGERS IN A STRETCHED OUT FASHION WITH SNIPITS OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME .....VERY O D D YET PULLS YOU INTO HER HEART...SHE CAPTIVATES YOU AND IS CLEARLY IN A CLASS OF HER OWN... BREATH TAKING TO WATCH HER BEND NOTES WITH HER VOICE...SHE HAS A FREESTYLE ALL HER OWN HER VOICE IS ANGELIC AND JUMPS FROM AN INNOCENT CHILD TO A SCOTNRD AND BROKEN HEARTED ADULT...."FOOLISH GAMES" SHE IS A DANCE THAT SHE DOES WITH HER VOICE....I JUST LOVE HER EXPRESSIVE SWAGGER OF THE HEART !!! ❤....
Jewel is a phenomenal artist; one of the best of our time. Her performances are always expressive and unique, this one being no exception. The emotion she displays here is incredible and overwhelming. So haters be gone!!! lol
I really like her way. She sings feeling what she's doing. Thare are no many singers who feel this way. What a performance! What a passion to sing...Nice Jewel
Wow this is incredible. Jewel is such an amazing artist. She is giving such a feeling performance. I really thought she was going to cry at one point. She is singing to the guy who broke her heart.. Plus it must get boring singing the same song the same way over and over and over. She's so creative!!
it was obvious that the song was relating her life at the moment!! she was singing it directly to someone!!! One of the best live performance i have ever seen!!!! I give this performance a 10. Her voice as well is fantastic!
she is so beautiful i really love her voices. it really doesnt matter how many time i listen to this song i still love it just like the very first time i heard it. she amazinly beautiful just like the song. alway give me that aww feeling
Haunting, sultry, and gut-wrenching. I’ve often thought of certain individuals that have had this effect on me, that person who dispute our best genuine efforts someone rejects our love - family member, co-worker, boss, parent. Who is it for you? That’s why we came here to listen to this epic melancholy ballad.
Get over it. If you don't like her then go away. Jewel is one of the most amazing, powerful and emotional singers in this world so stop judging her and putting her down. Love ya Jewel!
Oh, HELL!! Was she almost in tears? I know this song says a lot to me, but SHE got it from SOMEWHERE!!! Especially, towards the end, she put an emphasis on it like I've never seen! Her eyes were wet, her lips were angry, pouty, even...OH, HELL!!! LOVED IT!
WOW! You can see the song in her face and eyes! What a beautiful and expressive face! I hope I can find a woman with eyes like hers to look into someday...
i can't think of anything negative to say about this. i just love it. i love her voice, the quiver, the vulnerability, the passion. everything. she's very unique
I love the song, jewel is a great / awesome singer, so much talent. I hear this and watch her though doing this song this way and it's just all over the place.. sad / angry / happy / sweet - too many emotions for one song, I'm exhausted trying to keep up..
She has a FABULOUS voice..can go from soprano to alto in NO time...But, this video...she got ATTITUDE..she has PASSION!! one of the BEST performances I've EVER seen her do of this song EVER.
I agree. It is nice to see performances that are touching and strong. She has a lot of class too. I hope she's around still and tours. I remember listening to her when I was young. I might be one of the only guys in the audience but I wouldn't be ashamed of it.
This right here is the absolute best version. No question.
I think so too! ♥️
The album version isn't even close.
See the 2020 25th anniversary version.... you'll love it!
I will watch it..... thanks
Yes, I so agree. I had almost forgotten about this beautiful ballad until it came on playlist randomly a few weeks ago. It stops you in your tracks.
She wrote it, sang it and the emotions are true...and guess what? She's not lipsyncing. OMG
Yep. Back when ppl actually had to have an innate talent to get anywhere in life
I love this version, she does it different ways, She's visually stunning, the pure emotion. It's perfect. You can really feel it. I love her voice. One of my favorite artists.
she's amazing
She sings this song with incredible emotion and passion! I've seen different versions of this song but this one is brilliant. She emanates her feelings in such way that can be felt by others.
There is a Personal and very private loss in her life, someone that should be the most important being that will never get to know her. Her first two CD' . Foolish Game's, Daddy, Enter from the East, and all that's not said
She's pissed as hell about something.
One of the most powerful performances i've ever seen in my life.
I watch each of her live performances and this is by far her best performance !
WOW! She let me have it towards the end. You're absolutely right, she was pissed 🤣
Just broke up with her boyfriend before this performance I read year's ago.
gosh that vocal range is amazing, even after all these years i am still amazed at how good she is...
One of the best vocalist of all time
Simply amazing. Nothing today can even come close to the 70"s,80's and 90's as far as talent goes.
All these years later and still mesmerized. Pure beauty, heart, soul, authenticity. God bless Jewel for sharing her gift.
its my favourite version of this song. Angry Jewel! lol Shes sung it a million times. Good for her to have the guts to experiment and change it up. I feel all the emotion she pours into it. When you think the word while you sing it, it emotes or translates to the listener in a profound way
One of the most powerful performances i've ever seen in my life.
Enough to make a grown man cry. Beautiful.
Bet you found yourself in those lyrics at one point in your life. I did.
I watch each of her live performances and this is by far her best performance !
Jewel will always be one of my favorite artist. She has a powerful voice. I love her style.
This may be one of the greatest performances I have ever seen-and yet America has yet to recognize Jewel as the national treasure she is!!!
Oh we have!!
you drunk?
It is amazing just to watch her facial expressions..just to see her form a single note...just to see the way she moves and how she evokes such emotion within herself-her everything is amazing. Takes my breath away.
A timemachine to bring us back to the 90's pls...
I love how this song isn't performed perfectly, it shows true emotion, she's more involved in the message the the way its supposed to be sang, none the less its amazing
i love watching her perform this song. all the emotion she puts into it.. its truly amazing.
Easily the best performance Ive ever heard. Inspirational.
2022… anyone listening to her again?
Love this song.
Hello from Australia
out of every version of this song, this performance is my favorite, so powerful;
This is so spectacular. It's so rare to see a performance like this, she allows herself to be so vulnerable and open with her emotional trauma. Her voice is completely open and uninhibited by social convention or what may have been expected of her as a singer during that time by the people watching/judging her.
She is so amazing and free!
Completely inspiring.
I think this may be the best live performance ive ever seen.Unbelieveable how good she sings this song live!
This version is PERFECT! My favorite :)
This song has always touched my soul and in a way I could never articulate. This song just does it all. And, it is so good to FEEEEEL her emotions thru her voice in this rendition. Jewel, you kill me with this version. I feel you! I have sang this for my close friends (home karaoke) and I've made a few of them cry. I have to say, you just topped that!!! I'm glad you let it out!
This is the most emotional performace ever......not just for Jewel I mean to EVER EXIST!!!
Isn't it quite strange that literally almost all great and brilliant heart felt songs have been inspired by the most heart wrenching life moments...
We all know how intense emotions can shape in some way, what is happening in any one moment of our lives and that is why MUSIC is so powerful. I can relate to this song purely just because of her passion/ energy. My situations have been different but we can all relate to our heart stuff. Brilliant!!!
i dont listen to jewel but this is heavy as fuck, and bad ass as hell... the emotion is so raw, im into it.
psh- music snobs. sure its not perfect. but I appreciate raw emotion more than robotic singing. she didn't take it safe and I respect that, whether or not the performance was perfect. i loved every word she spoke.
Zach Bond it is perfect actually.. there's one tiny part could b considered pitchy but she never goes out of key.
@@l.b.cordeiro782what second is that pitchy?
I really loved it.
she really sings with more emotions then I've ever seen on a singer.
Just really amazing.
I didn't even know a song like this could ever be written. Wow Jewel!!
Eh? This is an absolutely awesome performance, simply stunning. The cold recorded version is but that, a version. Granted, many modern pop singers can never replicate their songs live because their studio performance is auto-tuned to a point where it becomes a synth track instead, but such a case could not be further from this. This performance captures the essence of music, she turns a mere song into a revelation with emotion and superb technical skill.

The rest were all pretty amazing live, so please give me some names?
Wow.. She is insanely beautiful and sings this live yet still sounds amazing!
I come back to this every now and then to gain perspective of real performing arts. Such a far cry from the commercialize sexual drivel force fed to the masses. A real pleasure to hear.
Wow! such powerful vocals. Incredible performance indeed!
She was so in character in this performance. EPIC.
This is SO incredibly charged with emotion! Gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it! Beautiful!
She is flawless and the way she sings is amazing 5/5!!!!!!!! my favorite song ever
I like that her voice cracked. I like the raw, live performance. Plus, it gives the song more emotion and feeling, which is what she was trying to do, and always does with her songs. I've seen her live and she did the same thing then. She's such a talent.
She's brilliant and she has it all,unquestable talent and goddess beauty.
My girl, you nailed it.
WoW, what a powerful performance! Jewels amazing! to be in love with a woman like that!
OMG she's beautiful......that little twist of the mouth at the end..........
i can seem to understand why "some" people are hating... some ppl apparently do not know what music is.. jewel is a great artist and she can sing very well.. thishas been the best video i have ever seen and i cannot go without a day without listening to this song. it is a very deep song and she is just..... WOW!! her body language and her face expressions !!!! i find it very sexiii and especially, UNIQUE!! THE BST

Hazel Park, Michigan. Julie I broke your heart in the 90's. I wish you all the love you deserve. You dedicated this song to me. I am so sorry.
Jewel is really a god send. Thank you for showing us love, courage and strength! You will always be part of my whole existence and journey on earth. She is surely a rare beauty in and out for many generations ahead. All my love to her🙏❤️✌️
The version that was recorded for the radio has a point were you just can't help but feel her heart break.
This live version was also spectacular.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING!!! I had this on VHS from '98 but can't find it. Here it is! I think one of Jewel's hottest performances, period. Wow.
I love Jewel! Her music is so raw, it's beautiful! Wishing more artists like this were around these days than some of the others out today.
I named my Daughter after her ... but never told my wife ... only after about 5 years later ...!!!! ... Jewel is bloody awesome!!! ... Love her voice!!

I think Jewell could be a great actress ..as if her voice and beauty wasn't enough, her face expressions are tearing me apart ..
She's acted in at least one movie. I can't recall the name of it though but it was pretty decent.
been listening to this album since i was 9 years old.
i think she's beautiful and she's amazing live. she sings with such emotion.
Fair play to that pianist- I mean she went her own way and he fully went with her!! Hands down best ever version of her song. So raw.
The absolute performance of her own song
kippevel! wat een fantastisch nummer, briljante stem..
Get over it. If you don't like her then go away. Jewel is one of the most amazing, powerful and emotional singers in this world so stop judging her and putting her down. Love ya Jewel!
Oh, HELL!! Was she almost in tears? I know this song says a lot to me, but SHE got it from SOMEWHERE!!! Especially, towards the end, she put an emphasis on it like I've never seen! Her eyes were wet, her lips were angry, pouty, even...OH, HELL!!! LOVED IT!
This song still gives me the goosebumps. and the way she sings it, you can see that she is singing to someone in her heart. very Deep.
WOW! You can see the song in her face and eyes! What a beautiful and expressive face! I hope I can find a woman with eyes like hers to look into someday...
I'm Indonesian and this my favorite song...... my favorite singer...........
look at the eyes, its just as if her heart is communicating through her eyes... simply beautiful
OMG! Best performance ever!!!! Very moving. Very beautiful. AWESOME!
I saved this performance a while ago and TH-cam pulled it. Glad it is back.
she always always takes my breath away. she's so beautiful.
the look at 1:58 makes me feel guilty for something i didn't even do
The most beautiful song ever sang.....Thank you Jewel
i can't think of anything negative to say about this. i just love it. i love her voice, the quiver, the vulnerability, the passion. everything. she's very unique
she left me speechless. wow great job!!!! sooo much emotion in it!!!
I love the song, jewel is a great / awesome singer, so much talent. I hear this and watch her though doing this song this way and it's just all over the place.. sad / angry / happy / sweet - too many emotions for one song, I'm exhausted trying to keep up..
she's awesome.
if never seen such a emotional performance before.
it goes under my skin. damn she must be an angel.
such a great voice. wow-
She has a FABULOUS voice..can go from soprano to alto in NO time...But, this video...she got ATTITUDE..she has PASSION!! one of the BEST performances I've EVER seen her do of this song EVER.
What a powerful performance. incredible.
This just made a grown man shed a tear. That's power.
BEST version I have ever heard her sing. Untouchable.
I agree. It is nice to see performances that are touching and strong. She has a lot of class too. I hope she's around still and tours. I remember listening to her when I was young. I might be one of the only guys in the audience but I wouldn't be ashamed of it.
I love how she actually gets into the song, unlike music today were someone else always writes the song for them.
