I doubt she listened to it. She probably heard that some singer somewhere wrote a song about her and assumed she was just another punchline again. Or at least I hope that's the case - I can only imagine that she'd actually love the song if she gave it a chance. Or maybe she just hated it.
that's crazy because she admitted she's never listened to it. Few have paid her a bigger compliment. But it has to be the "white trash" line, and the bit about Nancy Kerrigan taking a beating and not being above cheating. Probably someone read out the lyrics to her. Not hearing the melody is missing the whole point.
I live far away from the US, and discovered him completely by chance (looking for song title brought me to one of Sufjan songs). That proves that we get mostly commercial stuff from the US, and the real good things needs more effort to find.. Its like this everywhere. In my country they also play in loops mainly commercial B.S, while the good stuff can be found in underground radio stations or in live gigs.
I've always thought this should come up after the credits for I,Tonya : it makes a perfect balance - it feels like he wrote it to the video it fits so perfectly - and it lets us see her at last as she deserves to be seen.
It originally was accepted but they could never find a spot for it since the movie was trying to go in another direction so it was ultimately rejected.
It looks like he's restrung a 12--string as a 6-string and just marked off the useless tuning pegs with tape? I have no idea why anyone would do this, but I trust him.
Paul Rice he is, but he’s only using the second (high) course of strings, hence why the guitar is so high pitched. It’s basically the same as having a regular six-string and using Nashville tuning, not sure why he does it this way.
She's not a horrible person Horrific things happened to as well as around her Tonya prersavered & went on to accomplish the impossible Kristi and Nancy had supportive loving families 🗽 Lady liberty adornes teal 🦋
yay Sufjan is smiling
Underlying progression in this rendition is from "The Only Thing". Neat
Yes!!!
He gets more confident the longer he sings i literally love him it's so cute
This song is so good, it’s ridiculous. This world really is a cold one, and God only knows what we are.
I still have no idea why Tonya Harding hate this song, this is beautiful! Just as beautiful as the man who wrote and sing it 😋😍

He does say "so you're not above cheating"- which, if its true she knew nothing about it like she maintains, I imagine would be a kick to the teeth
@@melancholics_7808 simply she could have said the song is beautiful even though it claims i cheat lol
@@miguelvalentine9776 afaik she has only ever said she has no interest listening to it. maybe she'd like it :) or not
goodness GRACIOUS what a lovely version of this song
I literally clenched my fist when Sufjan started singing! wtf this man is beautiful!!!!
that one dislike is from tonya harding
hhhh true
I bet she loves this song.
Tonya did an interview with NYT in which she said she doesn't

if she understood the song she would love it. it's about defying the odds but still being human. you're welcome. :)

adore his story telling in truth and beautiful music....An American star is he.
Sufjan I love you for the tears the love and the laughter that you have torn me!
Sufjan please come to Montréal again soon🙏❤️
When I watched him singing this song live, my eyes filled with tears. A shame, tbh, he was looking cute af with that beanie.
He's just lovely
Love this song!
I love this man
You're my shining American star....You're my shining American star.....
I love his story telling .
So good!!!
💫
WHAT SUFJAN STEVENS IN LIVE FROM HERE. A SURPRISE INDEED. A VERY GOOD SURPRISE.
Love Chris, love sufjan!
Why does she hate this song?? Its lovely. Wish I had written it
She really does? How do you know?
god damn Suf.
He fucked up his own lyrics at 0:55 and I didn't even notice until watching this for the twentieth time. Somehow it just fits this version
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lovely.
🏩
Come on Sufjan come to Portland, I'll take ya by Tonya's house LOL
True sad story.
why wasn't this masterpiece on the "I, Tonya" soundtrack? I bet he would've been nominated for this one as Best Original Song too, in the same year :S
he submitted the song to the director. but got rejected as the song didn't fit the direction of the movie
that's insane. Thanks for telling, I didn't know that.
When you see the movie, you will agree that this song didn't fit the tone.

Does anyone know what the green things covering the last three tuners on each side of his guitar are?
Dick Nominates I don't man but I sure hope we find out, for everyone's sake. 😯😪😫

I'm guessing it's tape to stop the tuners from vibrating, as they are not under string tension
@@cer02862 yep. Exactly.
it's like Tonya Harding, the Only thing and a dash of Eugene. cool shit.
hero :-)
I don't know if the beanie or the 12 string strung as a 6 is the most hipster thing about this 😂
I want Tonya to dance to this song when she's on Dancing With the Stars! Bwahahaha (she hates this song).
c est loin d être parfait , mais mon dieu que c est beau...
:/ seems faster and slightly more upbeat ugh.
What a beautiful song about a horrible person.
She's not a horrible person
Horrific things happened to as well as around her
Tonya prersavered & went on to accomplish the impossible

Can someone explain his 12 string to me?
Even though he's using a 12 strings guitar here, but i think he has only put 6 strings on.
Oh god why?
