if not my favorite song from "the miseducation...", then pretty damn close
her live cover of roberta flack's "the first time ever i saw your face." it may sound blasphemous, but i find the original song a bit cumbersome and overly emotional anyway, so i have particularly mixed feelings about this performance.
i have to concede that it's not an entirely fair comparison because the former is an uber-produced, technically precise and glossy product, while the latter is a very raw, very flawed live performance. i do think that these two videos really capture the nature of her transformation as an artist, though.
