I love how the arrangement is completely different than the record, but it's also strangely very much in-line with it as well. It's interesting because the live configuration of that five-piece lineup sounded a lot more like the next two albums. They were much more organic on stage than what you hear on Becoming X. Boy, anyone who caught them in person during that era is really lucky.
When I'd listen to this in its original 1996 release year, to me, this tune was just a cool song to listen to. But nowadays, and with this live version it's gained power and become a luxurious, elegant classic
they were magical when she was singer I can't believe they fired her cuz they decided they don't like her voice anymore, madness. she had voice of angel and hypnotic presence!
Kelly was Sneaker Pimps. I think they fired her because of her drug problems the dude sang this same track later on and it really sucked this track is meant for a woman.
All of those comp albums like Budha Bar or Hotel Costes were one of the few ways to find cool music, specially in my country Colombia where everything arrives like ten yers later haha

Don’t blame her, they couldn’t write music that could encapsulate her potential… that’s okay, neither could she. As an enjoyer of (her)(their)(his) era, I can admit, I genuinely don’t enjoy either artist separately. There was a certain magic that I’ll appreciate. As much as I would love for it to come back, I would never force it. It won’t be that same, this band is synergy and synergy alone. In my opinion… I’m very thankful for them.
Seen the pimps with Ali amazing seen them with corner walked out after 2 songs garbage what could have been if your ego had not got in the way and you had ideas above your talent level….a band consists of more then 1 person…..
One of the largest screw-ups in music history... the band members dismissing Kelli Ali, essentially destroying what they had on the basis of ego. A failure to recognize what fueled the band, what made it special. Hint, it's not the instrument playing. She continues to mesmerize me, and I hope we'll be seeing more of her soon.
you no honestly I think they got rid of kelly alli cause she was more famous then they were and they knew it .... if theres one woman from the 90's 2000ish area that automatically pop's up in my head it has to be her .... she had this look and amazing voice and still does ..... and sneaker pimps knew it..

She was legitimately ahead of her time in her vibe
Kelli has awesome stage and camera presence along with a beautiful voice. It's like she's staring straight into your soul through the camera.
Epitome of cool, virtually no new artists could sound this cutting edge.
This is one of the few songs where as soon as I listen to it I’m immediately back in the mid 90s.
now everyone is a zombie
It's like she's singing right to you. The eye contact, the tone, dang the 90's were the best.
The eye contact with the camera(s) is really intense. MTV’s live music production was great.
I miss the 90's so bad it's like a physical pain
i love Kelli Ali & Sneaker Pimps ❤ so much nostalgia
The one song that instantly sends a rush of nostalgia coursing through me! Never knew this version even existed! Phenomenal
this performance is absolutely amazing, takes you into another world
Intensely amazing!

I haven't left yet
Kelli Ali became a folk singer, which is wild. She still has solid pipes...
Indeed _agreed_ *True* 😊
Incredible. Period. Still wish Kelli was with the band.

magical perfomance

Whatever the reason, getting rid of her was one of the worst decisions in music history.
@@bodhixxx1 Did she have a drug problem? I always assumed Corner kicked her out of the band because of all the attention she was getting.
@@roarickshults3171 some article reported she had a drug problem that is all I know maybe she did not but yes Kelly was Sneaker Pimps.
She was the whole band lol. People don't even remember anyone else from this song. Terrible decision 😪
Hey, the 90's called...and I want back in.
This song is completely flawless.
She had the ideal voice for that generation
Her eyes are so mesmerizing ❤️
Yeah I saw them on this album this tour was great at first I have amazing live Act
Pure magic... I can't get enough...
Wow wow wow. Actual live performances (not synced) are so rare. Thank you!
The intro they played in this version is the only one that should exist
Love this song. Wish they would have kept things together and made more classics
I was 12 yrs old when first heard this in 96🤘🤘🤘
Those eyes ❤️
Kali Ali is just bad-ass ... ❤
Beautiful
Kelli is so good. Amazing what could have been if she was kept in the band.
It was for the best to kick her out. It resulted in two brilliant albums in Splinter and Bloodsport.
oh my GOD this is so mesmerizing I can't stop watching it. THANK YOU for posting this!
This is the best live version I’ve found so far ! Coming out of my Bose speakers makes me hit repeat over and over 👍😃
Look for the live version where Kelli is wearing a short white dress with a red design on the front. It's even better than this version
Love her so much 💞
She has a mesmerizing presence.
Always epic - 25 years later ( or more ) epic
Eyes like that, so rare.
Kelli's eye contact is second to none!
Extraordinarily, sexy woman!
It's like medicine, helps my soul
Heroine chic look was in.
*Top 10 Worst Decision by Bands: Firing the best vocalist you could ever dream off having. Kelli Ali was the heart and soul of Sneaker Pimps.*
She's soo beautiful
She’s incredible ☺️
Que bien que suena en vivo. PERFECTOS. Greetins from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Trip hop one of my favourites genres of the music
Atmósfera misteriosa y oscura. Memorables años 90s!
I feel like such a bad ass confident woman when I hear this -
🎶
Every man does.
Kelli is the only one that can sing this classic song.Period.
She's a good singer. Good band also.
Best Track on the Saint Sound Track 1997 ....
Pure magic !
Girl knows how to put on a show. So good live.
Original 90s smokey eyes 👁️🖤
This song takes me back to when I was a kid lol my sister use to rock it dropping me off at school happy times ❤️🥲
I ❤️ her voice 😍
Ahh they were great days...
Forever captured my youth when this came out. Kelli Ali will always be my crush.
Staring into your soul
Was lucky enough to see them back in 97
This song is so underrated.
It was hugely successful.
Love you guys.....
I feel old because I like this music so much more than what's new today.
Bass player sets a really good groove underneath.
Don't fire the star. They needed her voice & magnetism. She needed their beats. 60/40 in her favor of importance. Alas, vibes are forever.
She's a real Vampire you know .....
Good drummer, great singer.
I was introduced to this track when I picked up the first Chillout Session from ministry of sound. Great stuff.
All of those comp albums like Budha Bar or Hotel Costes were one of the few ways to find cool music, specially in my country Colombia where everything arrives like ten yers later haha
When the M in Mtv still stood for Music,not Money.
Thank yoy for good quality of rare video
in love with her
my Xbox 360 Grand theft Auto v cover is out and I'm looking at it right now while listening to this song
C'est Génial!!!
Kelli is so badazz
Makin love to the camera love it.
Good old days.
Her eyes arouse me. What kinda magic do they have?
Black Magik ? 😅
Kelli was the reason I started listening to Sneaker Pimps and her departure was the reason I stopped following them.
I'm MTV used to play music years old.
Once they fired her this band was done for me.
Kelly pulls you right i. n with her singing, look and moves. Too bad Chris Corner got so jelly of her he got rid of her
A session vocalist became the face of the band, it wasn't like beth from portishead or Lou from lamb where they were part of the band kellie was literally hired to sing by the band's manager. Thats why Chris got rid of her he regained control of his project.
@@lewisb85 He got control of his project?
Don’t blame her, they couldn’t write music that could encapsulate her potential… that’s okay, neither could she.

When MTV actually was cool.
also when they actually played music videos lol
💎
Esta mujer era hipnótica 😮
Why did that era seem more futuristic back then??
Kelli was freaking gorgeous in the 90s
Luv
perfekcja
Hermosa Kelly ali
She's amazing way above my league lol
yup
Seen the pimps with Ali amazing seen them with corner walked out after 2 songs garbage what could have been if your ego had not got in the way and you had ideas above your talent level….a band consists of more then 1 person…..

to be alive then
Holy crap she has vampire teeth
How much reverb would you like?: "yes"
Yeah, it’s a bit excessive
Ethereal
curious as to why it is played a couple keys higher. Appreciate that it's live
bc Kelli sucked at singing live, they had to accommodate
Is there more footage of this performance where they did other songs?
I'll never understand why they kicked her out
Artistic disagreements.
Kelly was seen as the face of Sneaker Pimps and the Boys didn't like that!
They threw away the baby with the bathwater🤦
My dude is playing an OSCar!
Did she file her teeth into vampire teeth like that or is that just how they are? I kind of like them
they should have never parted ways w kelli bc her voice is just so…. different and iconic and she did this at 17!!!
Yeah it's just not sneaker pimps without her.
she was 21 when this song was released
