KT Tunstall on David Letterman

[Lehmann108]

Gotta love that trash can lid!

[Zubirrex]

A true pro. She corrected the flat note on the looped vocal with a smirk on her face. Love this girl.

[altrock17]

I think i've noticed a pattern.

Type these videos in the youtube search bar:

- Phoenix - Lisztomania Drum Cover (click the first one)

- Beirut - Nantes (Live Jools Holland 2007)

CURLY HAIRED GINGERS ARE AMAZING AT DRUMS!!!

[rangerlord31]

The drummer's name is Luke Bullen. He and KT were married in September 2008. They had been dating since 2003.

[boobj]

drummer May ,.I say may, be cooler than Ringo.

[altrock17]

that is the coolest drumming i've ever seen!

[Cheesestring546]

The guy on the keyboard, Does he also play a dustbin lid? O.o

[isoclesandround]

I love the drum ending!! and the whole song for sure! =p

[Greneille]

I love that woman!!

[360crowley]

i think im in love

[anvdoe]

The drummer is the best part. Rockin.

[lolanr01]

She's just soooooo cool.

[Anika3D]

I love KT's gasp at the end when David gives her hand a peck <3

[bottomlinebass]

Saw this originally broadcasted in 2006 and knew she was gonna make it big-time !

I haven't been disappointed. She exudes an exuberant, natural energy.

All her work & performances since then up to the current "Tiger Suit" are great.

[mxfernandes]

she's very beautiful

[Yahonathan]

WOOO!

[mouthybitch88]

love kt tunstall proper artist

[bonzie88]

Letterman always seems to try and get the up and coming stars performing,amma right?

[bishop199115]

wonder if david tapped that off the record

[RaunchyRocker]

Kate ! Tell em To Fuck Off !

[RaunchyRocker]

You patranising Bastard !

[pierofocaccia]

I don;t know why, but the sounds were all off, especially the bass, that was lacking in a good junk of the song (unless it was decided to be like that, but it didn't sound too good to me)

[gcmc2]

Best act I ever saw on the Letterman show. Funny when you see others pick up on what you like about something. The drummer was great - particularly the close - I wish the recorded track ended like that ! KT's a true talent.

[banhee]

that drummer is fun fun fun.

[hockeycoachbill]

I wish that scumbag letterman didnt touch her, I hope she washed her hand with lots of soap and hot water. I think she is a wonderful musician and has the cutest dimples too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[edotres]

Did Dave say the album title was "I did the telescope"?

[TWolf7000]

i always thought Amanda Marshall wrote this. and I *don't like*Amanda Marshall...not her personally, just her songs. Always sayin' "why the hell.." this and "who the hell" that... maybe these girls weren't allowed to swear growing up...not like me, i could be heard saying "chill the fuck out, motherfucker" when I was just two or three...

[alastairfk13]

Yeah that guitar is almost as big as her, nice touch with the dustbin cymbals

[awesomedealer]

shes hot tho

[fionapuppet]

lovely performance!!!

[Snipto]

loving the drummer

[Doomsday2424]

He is totally awesome, and the main reason why I always watch this version of the song.

[kumiyok]

とても良い曲だと思います。歌詞が前向きな感じで元気でました。­声良いですよね！

[anhando]

REALLY??!!!

[capndeltaco]

that guitar is scary big. u could knock someone out with it

[bigry1]

Can anyone tell me if she has a new album coming out soon?

[Zubirrex]

So cool that when her voice cracked at the end of the first sample she made, she didn't panic. She just did another one.

[jilliancariola]

actually she did two samples because she needed two vocals to back her up in the chorus. i do agree with you that she's cool though.

[anhando]

its was a double voice recording, you can hear it

[InsaneGoonRules]

Give it to her Dave!!!!

[BestLooserEver]

Dear Ashlee Simpson,look at this! This is that we call live performance!

KT is so talented and she's nice. Keep up the good work!

[ManuelRochaCR]

@BestLooserEver Dear Ashlee, Gaga, Britney, and a long etc. :-)

[keepermk]

KT is perfect !!!

but look at 3:15 I love the drummer

-Long Live Rock'n'Roll-

[ibenze1]

she's hot.

[woodsprout]

This song is about her being inspired by Patti Smith.

[agula22]

love the drummer! - what moves in the end :)

[2cita05]

thts kts husband

x

[schchen2000]

@agula22 Did she get married to that drummer? I think she did.

[agula22]

@schchen2000 No idea.....if she did, she's a lucky lady :)

[quickmantan]

@agula22 he is a very very very very lucky guy, why coulnt i be her drummer.

[technocrash09]

@agula22 I would say they are BOTH lucky considering SHE is amazing!

[KateFan]

@schchen2000 Yes, she did.

[hatfinch]

@agula22 She loves the drummer too :)

[technocrash09]

@hatfinch Are they, like, an item?? Married maybe? *just asking---I have no clue but I am a new fan*

[regisrodrigoms]

Toca e Canta D+

[RaunchyRocker]

Hello Dirty Dave !!!!

[TerryKrumps]

i just noticed he wouldn't let go of her hand in the end. He was like "gotcha now, bitch...you owe me money."

[SmashlytheBassGod]

K T keeps looking at her hand and pulling it! It's like she's thinking let go! Let go!

[finch6789]

yeah - Mr. Letterman likes the ladies....

[eufhrex]

is this her original?

that kiss on her hand by the way seemed creepy... duno why... haha...

[burns1210]

I think the guy banging the saucer sled was in Flock of Seagulls.

[lthom33]

KT kicks butt! She's refreshing and talented.

[toysalot]

Killer queen with a voice to die for

[tinman5680]

nice garbage can lid

[ufewl]

@tinman5680

its a dustbin lid.

[MarijnvdZaag]

I love it how she records the chorus background vocals at the start :D

[evade531]

good performance was 1 of the guys hittin the tamborine or sumthin of a dustbin lid COOL

[KANNA95]

she rocks!

[daejinko100]

a very unconventional drummer!

[leoca]

Watch the Phantom Planet drummer on Letterman. LMAO

[ZXEN1]

yeah she has an excellent drummer

[NikyAndLouisWereHere]

hes her husband now!!

[ZXEN1]

oh thats pretty cool!

[skiptriv]

He plays like Tre Cool of Greenday.

[tukatnite]

how much time did that guy take her hand xD

[PeggyCHEWtube]

you americans are soo weird...

[utahstgeorge1]

why do say americans r weird

[hhbamle]

Look at the drummer! :D

[710809]

he's great!

[lbining]

yeah he was like an octopus at the end!

[sofista86]

i didnt know how small she was

[mariloth511]

SHE'S TINY!! The guitar is HUGE on her. HAHAHA

[lazer59882]

its a gretsch, theyre a lot bigger than normal guitars

[McLeodsDaughters92]

haha she is just great! how she looked at his hand and after the kiss: whoo

i love her! <3

[raypogi25]

i love it when david letterman doesn't remove the girl's hand until he kisses it!!!lol :-)

[scott27037]

I would assume so... :)

[Qermaq]

It was an honor

[Qermaq]

3:01 tambourine/keyboard guy is singing into the mike but not in the mix.

[McLeodsDaughters92]

i saw that too! that`s weird... ;)

[SotR59]

Singing into the mike and not the mix? what does that mean?

[Qermaq]

It means his mike isn't picking up his voice at all, he's singing away but he's either turned down or off.

[britainSBurning]

haha avengerbertta nice joke about the husband and dad lmao!

[FORESTDONS]

The drummer is her husband

[pault1964]

the drummer is her old man

[avengerberetta]

so he's banging her too?!

[scott27037]

I would assume so if he's her husband.

[avengerberetta]

and Woody Allen on drums!

[airbender0203]

If it's not Scottish, it's crap!

[ferret12]

White Falcon!... I think

[Tishizzie]

luv da drummer!! hahaha!

[ShelbyJ92]

I love the drums in this song!

but the guy with the tambourine

messed it up

[alexpriceuk]

that guy is so gay on the tambourine in the background. he comes in on the chorus

[Skewballzz]

one of the most unorthodox uses of percussion in a pop song. Kudos to the producer who arranged the drums without all the cliche hi-hats and cymbal work. I guess the trashcan lid could have been tossed out, we're just hearing the tambourine being hit into, but stage show is something else in itself

[kibukun]

You might like to check out the youtube vid of her performing this song on Later with Jools Holland.

Over there they refer to it as a "dustbin lid" and it gets its own round of applause at the end of the performance.

[fusile8]

3:56

love

[herostatus]

Great song, great singer. The tambourine on the trash can lid.. and the unnecessary crossovers by the drummer is a bit much, however.

[skooleskool]

people probably think shes just doing some kind of intro.

[skooleskool]

the bassist looks like brett mckenzie

[roastedlampost000]

Lollage at the end!!!!

[mattiblundell]

phenomenal talent

[allexbadyboy]

d+d+d+d+d+d+d

doroo isso tudooooo beim no brasilll !

[fallenseraph277]

I want her to go back to here totally unique awesome musical style with the looping. that was just pure musical genious

[chelseykate14]

she uses her looper mainly with her acoustic guitars b/c she can beat on them and such lol.

I want a looper just to mess around with it. =P

[batmanofni]

I love KT, I want to marry someone like her.

[enzomdrums]

you wish nerd haha

[batmanofni]

thanks very much.

[enzomdrums]

haha you are more than welcome

[batmanofni]

what's your problem, siriously, grow up.

[bigtophalloween]

HA!

[kitto697]

perfect!

[mistorsunshine]

I just love that funky little bass riff right at the beginning...

[johnsel2006]

KT is good but don't forget about the drummer

[albertfrancisco70]

Scottish. Nae doot

[music14amy]

hey sorry to say but she is actually scottish!

[stepanova8]

1/4 Irish, 1/4 Chinese, 1/2 Scottish... but raised in Scottland, so I guess that makes her Scottish. But who cares! Just love to hear her SING!

[Seachd12]

She might be an aclaimed singer from Scotland, but she isn't Scots , she's English. Just thought I'd clear that up.

[REandKT]

i went to her concert the other night.

she is amazing!!!! she has a great album, but her live performances are even better!

[trindade1976]

I love her!!!

[athousandpieces]

she's really good (:

[ditoh89]

well i really wanna bang her

[kingowen17]

Another awesome performance.

Guitar is a bit big for her though... it's s big as she is!!

[gbear4]

Gretsch guitars are HUGE!!! Brian Setzer plays them.

[iamtherealzim]

it makes a great sound though :D

[xiempie]

a guitar-playing woman is sexy

[snothoofd]

i love that guitar

[trinetis]

Stop talking shit about her. She's absolutely hot! I so wish she was a lesbian and that she was here with me right now.

[yuzimush]

oww stop it...

[graham10km]

below should read 'apologize' ..

[DjimiPaij]

This song is performed much better at her live gigs. Still good though here.

I've met her and she is officially THE BEST!

[graham10km]

makes me feel ashamed to be british seeing this ugly bitch representing us .. apologies america, it's only a tiny minority of are women who are as ugly as her. yeah her voice is tuneless, those musicians are carrying her.

[dunebasher1971]

Y'know, graham10km, there's definitely something odd about a man who wastes time deliberately watching YouTube videos of a musician he doesn't like (yes, I've seen your comments on other KT Tunstall videos). As for KT's physical appearance, how about you put up a picture of yourself online so we can all pass judgement about your looks?

[dunebasher1971]

Ah, you mean she turned you down? Makes sense now.

[graham10km]

no i was just being creatively nasty and abusive about her because i don't find her at all appealing, in short i was being a complete asshole, so i appoligise to all offended by my comments here, i'd erase them if i could. I can see she's a good musician.

[raandomxpsychoo]

lol, you just dodged a BIG bullet

[devilshaircutnessity]

great idea, graham show us your uglyness! big mouth nothing behind..

[funnyfrog11]

She's scottish for one thing they say at the beginning of the vid and she is awsome. She's not ugly either.

[dafnilovespink]

it's so much fun to watch Luke!dunno why but i laugh all the time!they're both great!kt rocks!

[allsweetnessandlight]

Her voice is completely flat and tuneless, and she is hopelessly out of breath..........what a pathetic performance.

It's little wonder her 'career' never took off in America, judging by this lame offering.......

[D6D24R94]

Songs sound different when they're live rather than recorded dumbass

[graham10km]

she bombed in america? .. that's fucking great!

[spinaltapfan999]

I like Kun T Turnstyle

[claimguy]

I could watch Luke Bullen smashing that kit all day long.

What a freakin cosmic performance. The man was bron to play those things.

[mclarenemma]

well i think she sctually is a lesbian, isnt she?

[trinetis]

No I dont think so. I was reading this article, and she was talking about how many times people had asked her if she was a lesbian and she said that she isn't. Actually I've heard something about her just getting engaged too the drummer.

She looks a little like one though..

(sorry if my english was terrible - I'm from Denmark)

[mclarenemma]

Yeah you're right about the drummer.. there were some rumours a time ago about her being a lesbian though but obviously they werent true :)

Dont worry your english is good =)

[trinetis]

Thats too bad..

And thank you :)

[lizarddeceight]

A lesbian? Everybody always says that about these good looking guitar playing girls. You're just jealous 'cause you'll never get any of it.

[trinetis]

I wish she was a lesbian and that she was with me.

[scoza]

my favorite artist this month

[nubbeli]

grreat!!!

I like the music,

I like her voice,

I like her...

[cinquelementi]

she is so tiny, look at the size of the guitar and david... little cute girl, beautiful voice, no matter what you say

[veryartist]

that's what happens to your voice when you party too much...lucky her!!!!

i love her drummer and she just has an amazing band!!!!

[mermonson]

so disappointed about her voice.

[girlsurfer10]

Ah, but don't the chicks always fancy the drummer...you know what they say..

[Polz09]

She is engaged 2 the drummer now =p

[Rockocafe]

en definitiva, la sobriedad y seguridad en cada movimiento y cada prosa,hacen admirar en grado casi indesible la ejecucion fresca y atrevida (con todo el sentido de la palabra) pues, deja en cada segundo ,un detalle basto en lirica,vivencia y melodia es una musa autentica,dios debe saber esto.

[sarah6667]

david letterman you can let go.. yeah the hand shakes over.. lmao!!

another great performance from KT <3

[ragjistan]

biggie guitar, little lady..

[jacksblack1]

Dummy, this is Youtube, not a digital magnophonic sound machine. Dumb dumb dumb. This sounded great on Letterman. Most bands that play Letterman, Leno and SNL, suck live. Great Job.

[viqii9]

es realmente buena!

[691309ralf]

luke bullen for president !

[Markandrich]

The drummer at the end is ace!

[briemillman]

you really think? god, he looks like such a spazz to me, i don't like having to look at him, it makes me cringe (then again, i suppose it's because he's her boyfriend and i'm COMPLETELY JEALOUS...)

[SaffySweety]

he's a good drummer but they've not mic'd his kit up very well. it sounds rather flappy, especially the kick drum

[hyvattissit]

Scottish !!
