So much so, not only is the audience dead-silent during the song, but iTunes is also releasing an exclusive EP featuring a few tracks from that Parisian performance. Logically titled iTunes Live From Paris, you can download the album on May 31, but first hear the haunting cover via soundcloud below:

So far she's solidly sold out venues in Europe (she's a big deal over there), so help give her a warm welcome as she tours a few major cities in the U.S.:
