Zooey Deschanel sings 'I Put a Spell on You'

[rmtmiller]

If this went into a full swinging rock version I would have like it better. This is like a beatnik version. She has a great voice.

[starprincess66]

where does she get her clothes???

[TomMSTie]

That you do, Zooey, that you do. <3

[rebeccasweeney92]

i like zooey deschanel but seriously NOBODY can sing i put a spell on you better than bette midler, sjp and kathy najimi in Hocus Pocus!!!!

[RosannaMP]

@rebeccasweeney92 I absolutely agree, I love that version! :) my favorite

still think this is pretty awesomely sung

[kimmychan1967]

sent here by cecily!! <3

[lilyhp27]

@kimmychan1967 ME TOO! ;D

[SexedUpAtheist]

This is hard on the ears.

[Manu9078]

0:33 gave me chills

[caffeind67]

My doubts that Zooey could pull off Janis Joplin are confirmed.

[Booboobear123456]

She was at Royal Oak, while ago. I was SO excited! I went to the juice bar called, Tasi, the people there said she might actually go there! So my dad gave one of the people his number and told him to text him if she came. I was so anxious!!!!

[editjunkie07]

They did this song at Koko in London last Friday (7th) and it was absolutely incredible! She had the most amazing voice!! :D

[YouthRebellion88]

RedPlanetNoise, agreed!

[KristianaMarine]

She and Him for the win.

[flowerpowerdharma]

My God she has the most incredible voice! I think I just fell in love!

[hdnsdwn]

Wow. She kind of SUCKS

[TheMelissaNakama]

you try singing nina simone and not sucking.

[hdnsdwn]

@TheMelissaNakama

just because your indie doesnt mean you can sing.

[babybluesquirt93]

I. want. to. be. this. woman.

[Germanscrub]

I. want. to. do. this. woman.

[moriahzee]

Speechless.

[fdyhds]

she puts a spell on me

[KarasDeEros]

dear god i think i love her

[shagmeisterxmorgan2]

that usher is stupid. THIS TALENT should be shared with everyone! :D

great video.

[KylaDawsonHarding]

dear god i love her voice

[XenOtai]

I love powerful voices.

[lukethegreat101]

Ahhhh a new take on a classic song, always good to hear. CCR still takes the cake when it comes to this song ( if you'll forgive the cheezy line).

[myboomstick]

@molly1089 - should've told that usher to get fucked and keep on recordin'

[Android18uk]

kind of like florence and the machine.

[casiesilverman]

@Android18uk i believe they both are great.

[ILUVNY1994]

i love zooey deschanel :)

[jamreaper]

who doesnt but can u put in plain english what the hell those other guys were talking about below us cuz i got confused

[chuckschilling]

I love Zooey, but don't care for this particular arrangement of this classic song.

[Garret00074]

It's similiar to the way Nina Simone did it...

[Divacoolstyle]

Actually the VERY BEST Version is from an somewhat obscure band from the 70's called "Audience" Their album with this on it is WoW ! Awesome !! And the cover is really great too !

[waynestephens]

@uglyxorgan Your an idiot

[uglyxorgan]

Telling the truth bud. Get over it.

[waynestephens]

i must have been forgetting the fact we all sound exactly like O.o

Unique-ness isnt just about the voice, or the style of singing its also about the likeabilitie of the person. in otherwords a fat ugly woman could have exactly the same voice, but would people defend her as much as a beautiful woman. Probably not.

I do how ever get your point and its your opinion, doesnt mean your right, still makes you an idiot. but then again who isnt.

[voyagerkittykat]

The point is not that two people may have the same style. It's not the point that a hundred people may have the same style and that we may all appear to be "copies" of one another. With the great abundance of people that occupy the world, it's obvious that it is extremely possible for two or more people to be very similar. The point is that one should not let his or her "style" be governed by another's opinion. One's style comes from personal preferences. We chose to be the people that we are...

[voyagerkittykat]

Our motivations differ. This is what makes everyone unique, not simply the appearance of uniqueness. Because two things are outwardlt similar does not mean that they are the same.

[voyagerkittykat]

Sorry. My comment is split in two. Stupid Youtube. I mean, I love it, but the comment box doesn't give me enough space to rant. :)

[waynestephens]

haha i totally agree with you btw. about what you said, and the comment space not being long enough :)

[roxorgirl13]

Katy Perry and Lily Allen = Very different.

[eddiekemp3]

If you want to see a great version of this song, look for Bryan Ferry's version with the voo-doo theme. Awsome!

[landrovermarv]

Wow...she needs to come out with a cd.

[briannaxdarling]

she already has.

look up She and Him

[natashabemis]

@foxyroxy2005 How is Katy a Lily Allen copy? The three of them are all completely different. Just because they have similar looks, style and personality traits doesn't make them all copies of each other. I respect all three and their quirks. Fangs.

[pruehalliwell415]

was she the girl in elf?

[joenas83]

Yes

[bubbanelson474]

yep she was in elf :)

and the happening

[roxorgirl13]

Yes. :)

[nataliapopova]

I belive you, Zooey

[xxxINKxJUNKIExxx]

I love Zooey! She is very talented! Amazing voice and she can sing anything!

[iluvjackwhitemost]

oh my god that girl can sing! I saw her in The New Guy and she was good but this is just IT.

[rhenaneanne]

GOMODGO, how do you describe the way Screamin Jay Hawkins performed it? Seriously, it's in his name. This was an appropriate song to get a little ragged in the voice. So you need to stop drinking that haterade.

[N30phu1s]

Love the song, need's richer guitar slight soft but fantastic version of the song

[killer5bee]

its beautiful. that smokey soul feeling.

[rocielleann02]

I was there!!!!! :D ahhh that was a really good show til some drunk girl got on the stage at the end screaming "zooey!!!", got thrown off, and threw up all over the floor

[RedPlanetNoise]

stop comparing her with katy perry. zooey's a million times better.

[catherinek94]

@RedPlanetNoise you just have

[rachaelsarobot]

I don't understand the comparison between zooey and katy perry? I know they have similarities in how they look... but zooey can actually sing and has a TON of class.

[jimaustinjohnson]

Yeah, seems like these days people make their judgments from "These white chicks have bangs!" rather than intelligent assessments of talent.

Zooey was here first and here to stay.

[rachaelsarobot]

Amen.

[blearghp]

she definitely put a spell on me....beautiful voice...enough said..there's no comparison between her and the perry thingy

[onpointe18]

AGREED!

[shadrussell]

If you plan on going to an M. Ward show, and want to record it somehow - be warned - you have to be tricky! They'll stop you much as they stopped this person from recording.

It's bullshit, but I guess I'm not surprised, with as much piracy going on as there is.

Great fucking cover too - she feels these songs, thats what makes a good cover - when I saw the video of the Jonas brothers covering Stevie Wonder's superstition, I wanted to kill myself - Good songs should probably be left alone.

[SNlover017]

amazing voice. simply amazing.

[luvlandon]

Does anyone else hear KD Lang when she sings? Or is it just me??

[WesOrion]

She sounds a lot like Patsy Cline. I bet if she covered Patsy's songs, she would do them justice.

[3IackCat]

Wow... an actress who can actually sing! Refreshing voice! =)

[nicolexox123]

shes good. i love her song in her new movie commercail !

[Chachorrito78]

The most lovely woman in the hole world...

[perineum6]

The hole world?  Wait....what?

[imsomoney28]

hahahahaha.

[MissCartographer]

I like this ;)

[DaBaba]

oh wow. thats beautiful. i wish the song was on sell on itunes.. I'd buy that in a second.

[a090006]

good thing of you ,you're fake deleting,now every one can see what a great woman she's becoming!!

[FreshMoe95]

Wow Zooey is just PERFECT!

[kellysonallison]

wooo- sing it zooey!

[Kolzig37828]

Perry has NOTHING on Deschanel.

The fact that the media and kids these days are so brainwashed, they can't tell great music from music that is simply beat into our skulls over and over on the radio.

[NoelleAileen]

couldn't agree with you more =]

[Artjom911]

yeah K.Perry have a reaaally crappy voice.Zoe is much better

[funlovincriminal91]

katy perrry is a whore wit a shitty voice,,,,,,,,,,,,

[mamaismcbusy]

aw, man. c'mon. yeah zooey has actually got talent, but katy is fun and she hasnt done anything bad. plus she isnt fuckin scary whore-ish like so many others in the pop culture media. she has some wit and decency.

[Nick777779999]

i like katy perry just as much as zooey...and you can say katy has a shitty voice...her voice is so hot

[jrae1491]

"An usher made me stop recording and 'delete anything I already had' - of course, I faked deleting it, so it doesn't matter anyway... "

Lmao that's awesome. Thanks so much!

[shebampow]

It's screaming Jay Hawkins, and he's my main man. So bug off....

[fuckallthatshit]

screamin' jay is a wild man.

[aaronmonkeylover]

have yiu heard Constipation Blues? Screaming Jay wanted to be an opera singer but 1950s Ohio said no

[JayTee461]

how do you fake deleting? out of interest.

[YuGiOhFanClub]

she is so beautiful : )

[ajmfan]

AMEN! On all accounts!

[Vast1337]

Katey Oerry isn't even close to Zooey, unlike Katey she has some vocal skills....and far more better looking /love

[Daravion]

Totally agree with you, you cant compare Zooey with Katey Perry because Zooey's songs are much more better, not as popular thou but much more better and her voice is just stunning!

[oosheldonoo]

"much more better"

sweet skills.

[yvette74731]

yes, you put a spell on me, zooey!

i cant help to fall in love with u

[VioletSpanxx]

shit.

[starsdestiny]

Thanks for sharing, such a good song for her ^^

[zoehhdudehh]

the only comparrison between zooey and katy is that they look look similar......but vocally zooey is way out of her league

[Vikke1985]

Probably the perfect woman in the Earth!!! I love her!

[chris18scheuer]

HOW CAN SHE HAVE SUCH A BIG VOICE"!!!! it can't be rigth??? i LOVE HER!!!!

[ayesha211610]

i love zooey so much...very talented n katy do looks like her but zooeys cuter..haha..

[nicetimetodie]

god damn thats sexy.

[xoxdevixox]

i agree with loulou741

STOP COMPARING HER! I love zooey and she's amazing! xx

Yes, katy LOOKS like her but zooey is a lot better than katy, sorry.

[pepe00iz]

Totally agree with both of you

She is better than Katy and I Think Zooey is much more cutter than her.

Plus, Zooey is perfect, I mean shes is gorgeous and sexy, she sings beautifully and she is a good actrees.

Zooey rocks

[samwellfoden]

zoey is so much more prettier than katy perry. She is the most prettyest person i have ever seen in my life.

Isn't katy perry like really arrogant? She said that Lily alen wanted to be her and was a brittish version

[radioakt]

corny

[lighthouselithium]

lmfaoo the usher told you to delete thiss

lmfao thats gayyy!

[milkeyandmillapeid]

shes such a great singer! and omg she looks almost just like katty perry and its weird that they both can sing really good!

[dazzelingdiamond]

I have real respect for this girl...I love that she doesn't just 'dabble' in different performing arts...she is TRULY about the different arts, not just 'Oh, I'm famous and can sorta-kinda sing/act/whatever, so I should do it'...She truly CAN! Love it!

[brothaman4578]

You can tell she does it because she loves it.

[ironmanm5]

i love her

[jungeeeeeeeee]

she looks so much like katy perry

its fucked up ^^

[Ledeet]

katy perry looks like her ^_^

[MattHatter]

She's got a good voice but the accompaniment is just wrong, the same with "Dream A Little Dream." Her voice is too powerful for just an acoustic guitar. She needs some brass behind her, but not too much or else they'd start drowning her out. Again good voice, wrong arrangement.

[theApex70]

She's got balls to put herself out there like that. Few top 40 singers would leave themselves that exposed.

[EnchantedSilence]

Singers now-a-days anyway. I don't know if I would say that about some of the classics.

[Xx4evaxxX3]

she is amazing so is her sister emily there both really good xxxxxxxxxxxx

[Djembejim]

I'm ridiculously in love with her voice.

[Uagathy1]

me too =D

[budanasal]

me 3

[BellySim]

Would you hurt me if I said 'me four'?

[jefferytan]

not bad. bit shouty. give me nina simone's or screamin jay hawkins versions anyday!

[jdbauer36]

I'm sure it's a much fuller sound and less shouty in person. But a bit shouty in parts. Hard to tell here. But Nina tops all.

[lgmeaux]

Bething the words is what the song is. Listen to Nina Simone and tell me diffeeent. Zooey is super talented;acting and singing.

[marciadbhogue]

her voice is so unique. i love it so much. she sounds good live!

[oscarin23]

I love,love,love this women so sexy

[mikeexplosion]

good actor. please do not ruin it with signing

[illspillmyheartx]

You obviously don't know anything about singing.

[domkaos]

OR signing

[Brennna]

I do. I think she's very harsh. Obviously she can sing but some of those words come out too strong and jarring. Not just on this song but in general.

[Aojin]

I know what you mean, but its mostly a style-thing. She's influenced by starlets from the 50s and earlier.  Their voices often sounded harsh on some words as she does...this song doesn't compliment that style very well at all

[s3w3rm0use]

when the song being sang by a famous one, u'll say about "style-thing".

[walkswithnoodles]

I saw them perform this last week in San Francisco. It was completely enchanting!

Her voice is my favorite thing in the whole world.

[madgdb]

this is fantastic! love her voice, her and m. ward really make a great team as she & him. thanks ! !

[Mortz76]

Absolutely love Zooey, love her voice, but I didn't think this interpretation of the song was that good... It was a little bit all over the place, too much screaming and going high for no real reason.

Nevertheless, a very good video.

[thechinadesk]

I agree. Too much pointless belting, for the sake of belting.

That said, she's not a bad singer at all.

[mplsgurl95]

This woman has my heart. I absolutely love her.

[sotrue00]

why does every single frigin zooey video have postings about katy perry? annoying.. nothing alike!

[8missdiorcherie8]

she is so much better than all the crappy movies she has been in. no, i aint lyin'.

[missvanilly]

you are clearly talking shit becuase she has been in some amazing movies. remove your head from your arse and go see the go-getter

[colbertnation401]

what a voice!

[willowpuff]

00.35.

That note.

My whole body erupted in goosebumps.

SO talented.

[dh300c]

make-up or otherwise, Zooey is fantastic, love Katy Perry too but right now, its Zooey I want singin the blues.....

[restlessthings]

oh man.

[fclegend]

boy did she ever

[customcartoons]

Wow. I mean, she is just like .... wow!

[kimmy0883]

if they stopped you like that she and him might have certain copyrights. on the ticket you were given did it say no flash photography or video? if so they might have certain rights to it...

[anguspallux]

she and him couldn't have copyrights to this song as it was written by someone else. the song is not in the public domain and won't be for another 25 years or so, so there are royalty issues with them playing it themselves (they'd pay the estate of hawkins). filming can be stopped by virtue of the fact that it took place on private property. more than you probably cared to know, sorry.

[mplsgurl95]

amazing. i love her. i'm watching Failure to Launch right now. lolz

[Giochacon]

this is one of my favorite songs from Nina,,, and this version mis great...

[phillyphil690]

I only thought I was in love with her until I heard her sing. Now I'm sure.

[OrginalMrsMcDreamy]

I LOVE HER and her sister Emily is like one of my favourite actors and she can sing too! :)

[tohtiengchiah]

damm usher, what an usher, damm usher

[vexed0130]

Absolutely breath taking.

[stephon210]

For a second I thought "Why the hell did Usher tell you to delete this?" Then I realized that you wrote A usher and I felt like an ass. I love her singing though.

[feenix06]

Wow...she has fantastic range! AMAZING!

Damn that Usher!!

[maantre]

oh my, this was such an amazing performance - I was waaaay up in the nosebleed section, but she gave me goosebumps for the rest of the night. Thanks for posting this!!! Such a great memory:)

[RiddleFlowOn]

god i hope she sings this when i see her in concert next month.

[leather7747]

Check out pictures of Katy Perry - she looks like Zooey's twin separated at birth - no lie!

[loveyoulikeabutton]

Yeah, I thought they were the same person at first!

[hugetorifan]

Eh not really. I've been a fan of Katy Perry's since she was doing her Christian stuff as Katy Hudson, and I have to say that Zooey has a real natural beauty. Katy wears a lot of makeup. No offense to Katy, but Zooey is just prettier and more talented

[MissBurgers]

Does she have an album?

[Okases]

Yeah it's her and M. Ward. They are called She & Him. The album is Volume one.

[StellarLucas]

She is the voice of our generation...I so wish I had a way to buy her album...

[MistyWitch2601]

I wish this was on their album!

[yvette74731]

oh~Zooey, you really put a spell on me!

i really crazy about u!

amazing girl.

[modemrider138]

I am going to get the book Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger just to see who she was named after.
