Tarja Turunen - Smells Like Teen Spirit

[@97AlanD]

I like that black and blue dress she's wearing.

[@5T3F4N_I]

97AlanD I see what you did there

[@5T3F4N_I]

97AlanD I see what you did there

[@apolonia2000saga]

97AlanD Get it! XD

[@azultrjlms1480]

[@elunelammas5635]

As a fan of Tarja and Nirvana.... I actually love this version, I understood what she was trying to do.... I know is a grunge song.. but if you notice she is in a beauty pageant or something and the way she sang it it's just perfect for it.. And the piano is very good... She is not the only one that make some soft cover out of a heavy song. She is the best!!

[@therocknrollbaby13]

Sou fã de Nirvana, já havia assistido diversas vezes esse vídeo (e nunca me canso!) "SLTS" ficou maravilhosa na voz dela, eu particularmente a-p-a-i-x-o-n-e-i porque a Tarja deu outra interpretação e acredito que se o Kurt estivesse vivo ele sentiria um imenso orgulho desse cover, mas entendo quem não curte, afinal não é obrigado todos gostarem, como dizem "Gosto é igual cu, cada um tem o seu".

[@IshbelSoprano]

Even Pavarotti has been judged badly and even been booed off the stage, it's part of being an artist, sometimes people love what you do and sometimes they don't. So if you wanna live in a fairy tale life where everyone loves Tarja and everything she sings, even if she sang rap, then again this public comments page is not for you cause clearly there's a bunch of people right now writing comments of dislike to her cover right here, not just me, that's if you can open your eyes a little more.

[@Dioceansoul]

Versão mais linda que eu já ouvi dessa musica. A Tarja conseguiu transformar esta em uma versão elegante "clássica ".

[@ADyingFaith]

I absolutely love this version. If ur gonna compare then Nirvanas is obviously going to be the best, but i just love the way she sings this and with the piano. Its a great version.

[@ZYRADIA]

Holy God !!! Even the birds are flying away from that rendition. So this is what HELL is going to sound like 24/7/365.

[@nathankinman7753]

Only the ugly crows and Ravens.

[@7angelique7]

My god, today I fell more in love of that stunning voice!!!! She can sing everything, that voice knows no limits...

[@chopantura]

Am I the only one who likes this version ?

[@arkleuss]

+chopantura the version is awesome i would like a version well recorded....and well singed

[@angelagaviria6448]

well, I don't dislike it. It's nice. But I don't love it.

[@KNOceanSoul]

Actually, this is the only version I like :)

[@Princessusch]

Yes you are

[@nytemare13]

HAHAHAHA i didnt even notice that! i cant stop laughing!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rhcpgirl86]

As much as I like Tarja. Sorry in my opinion Sharon den Adel did a better cover than that. If Tarja wants to do a cover I think it is better off if she chooses a song that suits her singing style. But hey that is just a opinion.. she can do whatever the hell she wants.

[@Purdenden]

lol, at the end , you can ear a kid crying ^^

[@Strav777]

Tarja's beautiful voice is not suited to this song, and the bluesy piano backing isn't either. As a musician and someone who likes to experiment and improvise, I understand the creative license for doing such things - but the energy, grunge and definitive dark energy of the song is sort of ruined by this version.

[@HEDELEX]

I think that the strong contrast and the absurd of the version gives it a new meaning, I like it.

[@DCCaviMusic]

Huh, I can understand some of the lyrics... She's doing it wrong.

[@g74m]

This is not a karoke competition.This is her version of the song,and i love it!!

[@MaKrAxxx]

this version is good and very similar to tori amos version only that tori amos did it better ^^

[@powemetal4life]

its very interesthing for me to listen of the covers that Tarja has played as solist and with nightwish its beautiful listen her voice with all those contrasts

[@TarjaRuleZ]

who gave that child permition to cry during the song?!

[@ADyingFaith]

I love this version so much. I love her voice with the piano.

[@hynagiterra8470]

This is just not tarja's best. She's good at what she does but the cover takes away from the point of the original

[@EvoVocalChick]

Exactly. So proud of her for doing so, too.

[@maryfer7930]

I like Tarja..but this no!!!Let the grunge be grunge!

[@maryfer7930]

+SageFox of you don't like grunge doesn't mean that's bad. ok? the only ignorant here is you.

[@KhamulYT]

people are mad because it´s Nirvana ... it´s HOLY ... ntl she did quite beautiful ... i give her the thumps up ...

[@wilsonmj1807]

Kurt cobain is better

[@hejdy1337]

Cobain is shit singer and shit guitarist also

[@premiumedjr]

Perfect Tarja, you're so beautiful and your voices........ No commentes It's just Perfect

[@مرقصاشمن]

tarja without nightwish is just not worth listening to. actually new singer floor jansen is even better than her.

[@gabrielcarmo3317]

I'll pray for you, for you and that disgusting mouth of yours

[@Tommyleini]

If i was a baby and i have been there while Tarja is singing I would have cried too cause i find it so beautiful

[@fanucw2]

Tarja is the best! It's one of the best SLTS covers!!!

[@katt92herane]

Tarja Turunen + Nirvana! my favorite moment! 5 stars :D

[@TheEndKing]

She isn't "copying", she's doing a cover. She's paying homage. Personally, I think Kurt might have been very flattered if he knew his song was going to be honoured by such a beautiful singer.

[@MrsNaranja]

I was afraid this video but now i don't know why... She's the midas of music and everything she touch (sing ;p ) become gold. My godess from many many years

[@brownfebruary7153]

I actually loved it because I never believed it could be done! Always wondered what the song will sound like, now I know.

[@Dehumanizer22]

ok i will use them well :D THANKS! ^^

[@nirvanayop]

Love nirvana.... love nightwish.... love tarja.... GREAT VERSION WITH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE :)!!!! greetings from argentina !

[@AnEternalEnigma]

Wow, I clicked this link with fear. But this was actually really awesome.

[@HaxenSlash]

I like this. It's something unique. Way different then all the other covers I've heard.

[@florasantana6007]

Nossa acho q é a unica forma de eu conseguir ouvir uma musica propria de nirvana sem tirar no meio dela! Voz perfeita! Tarja topa combinações bem diferentes e gosto disso! Nunca fui la muito fá de nirvana mas ficou lindo!

[@br3ncubica]

This is amazing!!!

[@pocholski]

Best version ever!

[@MetalMorbiD]

whats wrong with the people who disliked this, i think its a nice contrast to the original!!!! Its very unique just as Kurt was..

[@chopantura]

I love everything that she does

[@MrJordwalk]

I agree that this is not Tarja's territory. Whether or not you like or dislike Nirvana is irrelevant. Nirvana is one of the MOST influential bands in the history of rock music, a fact that many critics worth their salt will agree with

[@Two4Tragedy]

imo tarja can pull anything of - love her always.

[@ZYRADIA]

2:38 I'd give 5 dollars to know what that bird sitting on the light scaffold is thinking?

[@chopantura]

whatever you say I like this cover,Tarja makes everything better

[@zhhika]

Simply, both Tarja and Nirvana are too awesome to be compared.

[@MateuszBuczek]

OMFG! THIS IS SICK!

[@AndroideRock]

I love you Tarja!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@quel94]

aaaahh volta pro nightwish!!!!

[@MrNightwishFun]

Perfect!!

[@pandakone]

She looks stunning!! I love her voice soooo much!!! I dont think she should of done this but it actually doesnt sound as bad as I thought it would xDD You go girl!!!

[@TheSpentt1988]

im sorry I realy like this its different and shows how talented she is

[@TheR3DShow]

I like to hear different takes on popular songs, It's always nice to hear someones spin off. Like it or not It is still better then nothing. I personally like it, why shouldn't I?, it is good.

[@polandgirl2008]

yayy tarja, i love you forever

[@opgrrjhi]

I like it, she has a beautiful voice (:

[@crashlove768]

extremely perfect voicee!!! :D

[@Zennakku]

wow sounds awsome

[@stoicboy64]

I like it! Great piano and Tarja's voice is very cool. I'm a huge Nirvana fan and you can't top the original in my opinion, but this is cool.

[@xGlassChild]

I don't know what everyone is talking about. I like this version. :3

[@alexdefaro]

"A little" you're so kind. He must have killed him self for the second time.

[@Traigame2cervezas]

Yeap, me too. I wish she would play this song again :) And besides, the lyrics, the place she is....it's like she is mocking it with the song. "It's fun to lose and to pretend" "With the lights out it's less dangerous, Here we are now, entertain us, I feel stupid and contagious" like moking the fashion show, "I'm worse at what I do best, and for this gift I feel blessed" you know, people often underestimate her when comes to her sing. I think the choice to do the cover was very personal.

[@Luksistr8]

hahahah FUNY! :D:D:D:D:D

[@annemamut]

I love Nirvana but I think that Tarja did a good job, too. It's original and I appreciate originality.

[@pocholski]

i like this cover

[@77elvistheking]

Vote for Tarja everyone on europetourismboard. Right down to the page there's a poll called vote for europes best..... Click ther and then vote for Tarja. Please people vote. She's close to winning :)

[@MrElcharrua]

Mi amor Tarja, no sabia que tambien interpretarás a Nirvana smell like teen spirit. forever TARJA, FOREVER NIGHTWISH!!!!

[@Elyderthesubwaysfan]

Interesting..I like it^^

[@Awanis69]

@SlayersKiss her voice is amazing and she can cover everything and i will listen to it with pleasent

[@chaosopher23]

Tori Amos did it in this style. I like all three known versions. They all have their certain qualities about them... Nirvana with the raw power, Tarja with the operatic, and Tori with her particular style.

[@nimettka]

Shut up everybody, Tarja is perfect and this song is beautiful when she is singing it!

[@deepestregret]

why you got to be hating? its her version of the song, and its lovely.

[@TarjaSenpai]

I love this one *.*

[@Jewavenger]

Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Tarja's, but this cover was a huge slap in the face to her once amazing career. I had hoped that after she was removed from Nightwish she would get back on her feet and continue to amaze us, but sadly I am begining to think that without Tuomas guiding her, she has nothing left to give us.

[@lordtyamat]

that was so low coming from Tarja..hope this was the 1st & last time she did something like that..damn

[@AveburyEddie]

Oh the pink dresses of the models I love this version of Teen Spirit I love Tarja :)

[@sahray96]

Well i think she did the best posibble, maybe the song didn´t was the correct but i love this! im really fan of nirvana and nightwish, i know she didn´t was anymore in that band but i love her voice

[@jonispider]

esta buenisimo AGUANTE TARJA!!!!!!

[@IshbelSoprano]

Again if you love it, then good for you, it's you're opinion and you have the right to express it as same as I do, if you can't have any tolerance for other people's opinion then "Go complain somewhere else", this PUBLIC comments page is not for you.

[@camposi]

I love tarja!!!

[@juanpablosanchezdelgadillo7982]

Queen!

[@DeejayJohnstone]

@tiffany10001 Exactly. If she was refusing to another album and such, they really had no other option if they wanted to keep going. Dont get me wrong, I love Tarja, I think she is amazing and so is the band.. But really, what choice did they have if they wanted to keep going strong.

[@jonathanacosta878]

Excelente cover de smells like teen spirit de Nirvana estoy seguro que kurt cobain amaría esté cover interpretado por tarja turunen es genial y su voz preciosa 😍😍😍dedicada ati kurt RIP 🤗🤗🤗

[@Humphihzly]

The best part about this video is that you can find it by searching for Tarja smells :P.

[@ellifouseki88]

Wow! No me imagine que Tarja cantaria esa cancion... Genial cancion, pero no me imaginaba...

[@horyck]

Tarja + Nghtwish = La mejor banda de todos los tiempos

[@Bestella30]

pero la admiro tanto, tarja eres todo un ejemplo de talento y belleza-

[@galayoona]

this is good!

[@onotuoedaul]

she's even more beautiful than all those models all together.

[@DaniieCrowley]

i don't know but i like this cover, like tori amos, i'm fan of Nirvana and recognize that is a good cover

[@ZYRADIA]

@MegaLiopIeurodon ... #LOL For the five bucks you have to prove the bird was saying that. The bird could have been thinking "WTF ?" or "Get the models back on the catwalk" or "I need to chew the wires to the speakers" or "Do all female singers sound this bad?"

[@nimettka]

Tarja can sing everything and Nirvana's songs too!!! This version sounds better than original.

[@ladyofsorrows7]

Loved her dress.

[@vengersan]

Me gusta esta version !!

[@chopantura]

She rocks

[@RocioBeuz]

que buena version !!!

[@Gomita010]

aem... tarja la sigo amando aun despues de esto ^^ animo mamiii!! :D

[@Tigre30]

yeah!

[@sepulturamax1]

INCREIBLE...........CANTA COMO LOS ANGELES

[@Jonnym29]

as for causing controversy i think you have definitely done that (and why the hell not? in my opinion that is one of the things great about youtube) and personally can't see what is so wrong with your comment with the possible exception of "then blow your brains out" but actually enjoyed reading that bit as it made me chuckle not at you but with you. you are entitled to your opinions and as long as i doesn't do anyone harm there is nothing wrong with expressing them
