Eartha Kitt "Old Fashioned Girl" & "Santa Baby"

[Gem5771]

Exactly! This song belongs to Eartha's memory! Not Madonna..Madonna sang it like her mouth was full or marbles! lol...

[BrigettSparkles]

I love me some Madonna, but "Santa Baby" belongs to Eartha! :)

[Central85]

[ianjames67]

Women are just as greedy as men.

She's such a person with impeccable taste and humor. We will surely miss her sultry-like voice that just makes you move to the groove.

The epitome of all things epic and awesome.

SUPERB!Don't make them like that anymore!Truly Fab!

[carterboy66]

Rest in Peace. An Icon for sure. Your lines on Boomerang keep me in stitches. "Beet Juice, it keeps the skin tight." "Maaarcus darlin."

[robj98168]

I was very fortunate to see Ms. Kitt at front row at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley

about a year ago, summertime. She was a fantastic entertainer. The highlight for me was she sang a song, "You Made Me Love You" and placed the microphone in front of me for the last lyric/note. She had been flashing her Bare leg in front of me, and when I didn't react she looked at the audience and said "Nothing". She was a great entertainer. She was a true Diva. C'est Si Bonm Madame Diva And RIP

[OBCBW]

an icon.

No one will ever be as great.

[HemetNeter]

[wencyb1969]

Eartha, thank you for inspiring the human race to become firm in their beliefs, motivations and conviction. Your coming and going will certainly earn a mark in the hearts and minds of many individuals and nations. To your dear family, my gratitude for unselfishly giving you to us. I will always mention your name to my children and grandchildren. Your Santa Baby will constantly be hummed in the house as long as there is christmas day. RIP. We will sorely miss you.

[ralphnbg]

what a real jewel you´ve been, eartha..not to be be mixed up with the "silicon valleys, wannabees, pumped up lips of today, pasturing on the hollywood-beverly hill meadows". rest in peace, my idol! ralph/germany

[charis62]

[BGproductions1]

[c0171]

Rest in Peace Ms. Kitt..... your legacy lives on forever!

[BARBIEDANCER1323]

Great Legs!!! Rest In Peace Ms. Eartha

[BARBIEDANCER1323]

I can't believe Eartha Kitt is dead.

[kernow1953]

A True Great. R.I.P.

[vonbienefeldt]

I had always thought Eartha Kitt would never die ...

[iancv]

At the age of 11 I saw 'Anna Lucasta' on TV (black and white)- I am now 63 and Eartha has been in my life for 52 years.

I will always remember seeing her in London in her stage performances, treasure the memories of meeting her twice and thank God for bringing us such a wonderfully talented, enigmatic woman. Will miss her dreadfully.

[simplefloridagirl]

I was a fan of yours since I was a little baby born 27 years ago. My Mom used to play her songs for me, and when I saw you as Catwoman in the original Adam West Batman, I still say you were better than all the others! I love you Eartha, and you will always be in my heart!!! Now amongst the angels in heaven, sing your heart out for us all!!!

[gio23664]

great..bye

[cmgross5]

Rest in peace Eartha..I will miss you so much. I know there will never be another you, No matter who sings Santa Baby...the world will think of you when they hear it. May god bless and protect the heats of your loved ones. Bye...........

[schusterlehrling]

God blessed her with a wonderful talent and at last decided that it was time to let her sing among his angels.

[empires228]

Rip eartha kitt! She still had a big role as Yzma in the running series Emporers New School. Id hope the show gets canceld. Id rather have it canceld 6000 times before they tried and would/will fail as theres no one as amazing as Eartha.

[Tunnel51]

Madonna butchered this song. Eartha's version is the one and only that is played in my household every Christmas. RIP Eartha.

[winsome1235]

RIP Eartha, you were in a class alone during an era of great talents.

[deniecey2]

Eartha Kitt will be so missed.. I've been a fan for many years.. Eartha, rest in peace.

DML

[Mariansblog]

Madonna never did and could not have come from the amazing and tortured history & people Eartha Kitt came from. Ms. Kitt has now joined our South Carolina & other ancestors.

[sassychick64]

BTW those legs are HOT

[sassychick64]

Wow I agree with the poster right before me she was orignal Diva. RIP Eartha

[fckinhawt01]

she is the original diva...

RIP EARTHA KITT

[govecomm]

God bless you Eartha, we love you and miss you, your star will always shine the brightest. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[glendonovan]

It's a comet blazing through space....

[EXODUSMONKEY]

We will miss you xxx

[lighthouseofhope555]

Oh, and I agree with Eartha on the Madonna comment. Madonna is a pop diva and all, but Eartha is in a class all her own! You can't copy perfection which is what Eartha was in terms of her voice!!! Madonna is a pop diva. Eartha, is a female singing legend!!! Big difference!!!

[karelkat2003]

Rest in peace Ms Kitt.

[lighthouseofhope555]

Dear Eartha, I miss you already. The Earth (for which you were uniquely named) will remember you for Santa Baby, but I love all your work (Batman as Catwoman, your many jazz songs, etc). God now gets to add your unique voice to his bevy of angels in Heaven! We'll miss you Eartha, and to go out on Christmas day: what an exit!!! We love you!!! God Bless You Eartha!!! Rest in Peace!!!

[pcCAT33]

The extraordinary cat woman of all time Grrrr... Here's to you Eartha KittY, From Lisboa with love

[Mollywoo18]

RIP Eartha. What a Lady.

[alrahc]

So sorry to learn that Eartha Kitt died today at the age of 81 - 12/25/08.

[KhmerSerey1]

I love Eartha Kitt and i love Edith Piaf ;))

[gulfgypsy]

Eartha will always be the best! Timeless, original and purrrrrr perfection! Love her!

[johnkuo1994]

Eartha Kitt is simply incomparable! I can't stand Madonna remaking classics like Santa Baby and Fever. As much as Madonna has accomplished she's one of the most boring singers alive. She has to make a whole show out of a song to make it anywhere near interesting -- her singing alone is like chewing cardboard.

[gavinj90]

So go and bitch at some Madonna videos. Yawn.

[pcCAT33]

I appreciate some of Madonna`s work...But what I want to really say is...I like your comment...seems fair. She could never stand there alone holding on to a microphone like a great Diva, like Eartha...We will miss her.

[KayD1010]

I remember when "Santa Baby" came out in the 50s. I'm 61 now and I want to be like her when I grow up! The lady is incredible!!!

[emofarms]

Eartha looks better than that today at age 81!

[retsefinam]

eartha kitt and tina turner only get more sexy with age, energy, sass, legs and confidence.  viva the divas..

[Nottinghamrob]

A true star of the world

[Poetdancerin]

DROPOVER you said it so well!!!

I love the emotions she puts in her songs, and it's not overdone, it's discreet but subtle ... she knows what she wants and knows how to get it.

She is an absolute Gem :D

[dropover]

The problem with Madonna's version is that she sang it without the jazz nuances and unique conversational style. Eartha's version is cunning, sly, devious, playful, sexy, musical, and confident. The character in this song is a woman who knows what she wants and knows how to get it.

[rurik36]

@dropover In other words the character in this song IS Eartha Kitt.

[misterbrucie]

The sexiest gremlin the world has ever seen.

[vgn700]

I think that was Madonna ruined it right.

[SiberianBoy62296]

loving it!! eartha is awesome!! and she still has it in the emperors new groove!!!!! i love her version of Santa Baby!!

[jadeadkins1]

Golden! She is the best! I love her so much and I am looking forward to seeing her in concert this week in Alanta Georgia. She is turning eighty this year and she is still just as lovely, sharp, and stunningly charming.

[divineswigs]

Eartha.......in one word......GREAT

[mikenoil]

"I Used To Have A Lot Of Fun With This Song, And Then Madonna Sang It" Hilarious, I Agree With U Eartha!!!

[mialopez2001]

wow...she is right! i love eartha's voice

[Etcircenses]

I was looking for "Santa Baby", still the first song is very good, more like a french chanson.

Great.

[shewurz]

I was looking for Santa Baby too..but I loved this too!  I LOVE French talk/sing songs too!!!! Love it!!

[laserdave82]

oh my! i looooove her!!! Santa Baby rulez!

[Moonraker1987]

The character in this song is such a schizoid-hybrid; greedy and lusting for money, while the other half is a nice and simple girl. Excellent.

[kev285]

I wonder what year was this. She still sound beautiful.

[govecomm]

This was 1991 at the Gold Coast Jazz & Blues festival, Queensland Australia.

[malp23]

And I saw her in London 2007 at the age of 80. she is still stunning..

[shewurz]

But she sang Santa Baby way back in the Big Band days, too!!! She's been singing since the late 40's? I believe! I remember she was a favorite of my dad's (he was born 1921)!
