  • wow beautiful

  • When Adele does a cover of the song, all the others covers of the same song can't beat it. Sorry Katy, but good job !

  • this is the sen cond best the first is ellie goulding black and gold !! LOOK HER UP!!!!

  • Katy's cover is the best in my opinion.

  • DAT FALSETTO.

  • Will everyone please just listen to the music? If you don't like it, change it. I personally think she sounds amazing. I don't think any of you would appreciate other people putting you down like that. So can we all just chill?

  • Well i think so killed that song, in a good way.

  • She needs to stay in her head voice. SO BAD.

    

  • this is such a good smack in the face for people who actually thought she couldnt sing!

  • oh god, she can sing!

  • god damn.  are there any other songs from this session?

  • @littlegoobie yes, look up "Electric Feel"...she did an amazing job w/ that one , too.

  • yo yo yo she da man right?

  • Also, her high notes at the end are really nice

  • AMAZING!!!!!!! :)

  • now if all of katy's music was as good as this cover, then i'd be obsessed

  • @adaezetula agree - she was good here. No need for condeming her actually. 50 listenings of Sam Sparrow version in a row - and then -a break with that of Katy Perry:)

  • I'm glad she did this, it proves she can sing and doesn't need all the fancy recording/editing crap done.

  • love ya katy♥...stay stong!!!!

  • That falsetto

  • Ooh! I can actually sing this song since it has a fairly narrow range! Sweet! *hits repeat*

  • i love katy <3

  • How I wish she had more songs like this that carried this same sound and style.

  • I'm fed up with the comments I often see.. If you think that Katy Perry can't sing during live performances, you should go to her concert, and you'll see!!

    Oh My God she has a f*cking perfect voice !

  • I'm in love with Katy Perry's natural voice! When she sings alone, only with her guitar, then it's wonderful ! She should sing more often songs like this, and then everybody would know that she has the best voice ever. :) ♥

  • she should sing more songs like this instead of the other crap she sings.

  • what a crap cover

  • Interesting that she of all people would sing a song about questioning the existence of a god.

  • @danpat18 It means that if all these things happened that were mentioned in the first two stanzas and if God is not really there then there is no reason to live. The original singer Sam Sparro in an interview confirmed that the song's subject is his religious faith, saying "It is about God, yeah. [...] I do like to have faith in something that is bigger than me."

  • Omg, such a waste.

  • CAJÓN PERUANO !!!

  • you have to love her "did I do ok?" look to someone at the end. She's out of her depth but found another depth that suited her, so well done.

  • Love it :)

  • I hear this and I wonder: "Why the fuck does she sound like such crap during all her other live performances??" *_*

  • @iloveinu2death Have you been to the California Dreams Tour? I thought that too at first but I became a really big fan of her music and went to CDT and she was phenomenal. She can really sing :)

  • @TheNoddyRiot Or she is an amateur singer who can't sing her own songs and has no business being a professional singer. I had a friend of mine go to her tour and said it was terrible. She is an amateur and mediocre singer. I at first was a fan of Katy's too but once I heard her sing live and her Teenage Dream cd came out...I lost respect...tsk tsk. :/ What a shame...she was so much more kick ass when she first came out...well aside from her voice. I don't mean to sound mean...

  • @iloveinu2death Well as I said I've seen her and she was brilliant. She gave a concert which conveyed both emotion and fun. :) Which city did you're friend go to for the concert? Teenage Dream was just her changing music style. Artists develop and experiment. Some were going to like it and some weren't. She must have some sort of business as a professional singer if she's the only ever female artist to ever have 5 number 1 singles from one album (Teenage Dream)....

  • @TheNoddyRiot If you think she got 5 number 1 singles because of her talent you are sadly mistaken. All the little kids that like her bubblegum pop music will one day grow up and they will get over her music and her fame will disappear. She has the same number of hit singles that Michael Jackson did. Are you going to tell me she is just as talented as Michael Jackson was?? If you do....then now I know why the music industry is such crap now...

  • @iloveinu2death - Yes she did get that far because of her talent. She has talent? Quite a few people might like her for her looks but majority of people enjoy her songs, and her voice. Also Michael Jackson isn't too everyone's taste either so please don't go around thinking he is so great.. Katy Perry has fans who are in the older market as well and it's not just little kids who like her, so I would recommend you grow up and stop trying to troll over the internet.

  • @CherPerry Wow. Are you serious?? Lol. Whatever...when 20 years rolls on and no one remembers her name I won't rub it in your face and say "I told you so"....I'm not that mean. Only time will tell. Peace out. And "grow up?"....what have I said that shows my lack of maturity?? ha ha..if you are going to insult me than at least insult me with accurate information. lol. ciao. :P...

  • @CherPerry ...Talent didn't get her famous..why do you think she was dropped from like 3 labels?? ha ha. She used "I kissed a girl" to get fame...she used the whole: "im a good girl acting bad and I am kissing girls..oh my gosh..I am such a bad girl..what a taboo...now everyone will buy my stuff because everyone is drawn to good girls going bad" method...lol. Don't kid yourself. peace out.

  • @iloveinu2death stfu hipster. Your argument is irrelevant.

  • @phantomnwf I don't know how I am a hipster. LMFAO!! I don't know where that came from...but regardless of if my argument is relevant or not to you....Katy's fame is going to end soon enough anyway...so does what you say matter?? hmmmm..let me think...nope. *casual shrug* :)

  • @iloveinu2death ...at first she wasn't as good at singing live but she has improved by a very large scale. She has to dance, sing and keep a concert going for quite a few hours. Her voice may start to sound a tad bit croaky towards the end but I think any artist would be like that.

  • @TheNoddyRiot ...but she isn't that great. I mean I am sure she is a very nice person. And she is really pretty...but she can't sing. She should have been a model or lyricist or something else...

  • @iloveinu2death She's no Beyonce or Adele or Jessie J but she has the charisma of an singer and she defiantly could pass as a, what would you call it, coffee house? singer. She puts on a show and a damn good one

  • @FRANKIELALALA You don't have to be any of those singers to be a good singer worthy of being a professional. If coffee house is the kind of singer she is then that is where she should be in a coffee house singing. Not on a huge stage and not all of this ridiculous fame over mediocrity.

  • @iloveinu2death

    go listen to her not like the movies live walmart soundcheck and then try and tell me that she sounds like crap during her other live performances because if you have ever been to one or heard many of them you would beg to differ.

  • @katykat56 All that video proved was that she is an amateur singer. And no...I do not beg to differ. Sounding somewhat good live 5% of the time does not make a good singer who is supposed to be a professional. And once again...that song sounded ten times better on the cd recording.

  • spam: i did a cover in katys style :D it's on my channel, i'm not going to write a long story of what i want to become, it just would be nice if you would watch it :D

    and to this video - my fav version, cause even if it isn't her own song you can tell that there's this special feeling which fits this song, and this is what i love about this version of black and gold

  • awwww she is lovely, the end is so sweet haha ♥

  • any one else notice that she changes outfits in this "live" performance.......wtf HAHA. yellow outfit, then some red coat and blue skirt thing. and it goes back and forth. AH!

  • She is just soo...lovely. :)<3 i wish i could sing like her!

  • @TheDigitalFruit I completely agree. I never ever liked her music and her style. But this style, I feel, is more in agreement with her voice. I really wish she would go down Sam Sparro's road. lol But hey, who are we to chain her with our wishes :P

  • Make sure you give love to Sam Sparro for doing this song to begin with, And his version is a fantastic song as well....Enjoy and share good music

  • Lovely cover

  • Best cover in my opinion. ♥

  • Ellie’s version is still better in my opinion.

  • only just realised this song is all about god :L but this has to be my favorate song of all time!! <3

  • C0:00ll story, Katy.

    Tell it again.

  • Well that was painful to listen to

  • OMG Katy u fkn killed it!

    she sang this BETTER THAN ADELE!!!!!! No Shit!

    Oh the tones in her voice, sliding in and out of her falsetto so smoothly, mmmm.

    UNREAL!

  • has kindv'e a jazzy edge like the stuff she sang in the beginning of her career

  • check out my cover! not as good as this but still!(: x

  • Yes brilliant! she is a great singer!

  • ellie goulding's version is better ;)

  • Nice song, nice style, nice katy perry

  • If you think she uses to much high notes /watch?v=YSow6ePFxbw&feature=r­elated  instead :) way better

  • She's sooo shit.

  • She is the best. Go Katy Go

  • This is really nice !

  • she uses for too much head voice... i dont like that fact

  • @KidKolobteeX Sh'es not using head voice AT ALL. She's doing airy falsettos. They'll fuck up her vochal chords pretty soon...

  • @steviesniper yeah, i reckon it will...

  • Never thought Katy Perry could actually sing! This jazzy style fits her so well, it would be wonderful if she released some alike songs.

  • @TheDigitalFruit

    I agree. Maybe the pop she sings isn't exactly her strongest suit. She seems to better at this jazz, and her acoustic performances are gold. But unfortunately, that's not the music that sells as well as the poppy, costume-y music she does now

  • @prettyeyessxoxo Well said :)!

    

  • @TheDigitalFruit she used to do gospel!!

  • @TheDigitalFruit Listen to her live. I respect her artistry but personally i don't think she sings very well. Big diff between singing straight up and singing with certain things being tweaked ^~. This cover isn't the worst out though.

  • wow. now i respect her forever.

  • She'd be awesome for Jazz I reckon

  • the sam sparrow's version is the best!

  • Sorry, nobody can compare to Sam Sparro. :)

  • Comment removed

  • wicked cover.

  • Katy Perry is a very good natural singer

  • @FWYGINOND Katy stop singin for money ... Sing JaZz

  • black and gold are the colors for anarcho-capitalism. Check out the Wikipedia page on "Anarcho-capitalist symbolism" for morei info.

  • @FWYGINOND wiki is always a lie numnuts..dont beleive anyyhing on that site..anyone can put stuff there

  • @FWYGINOND Black and gold can be the color of many things :|

  • wow! i didn't know that she could sing that hiiiigh

  • why so amazing? x:)

  • Black and Gold is a company that makes generic products

  • @Kebzicum lol that's what I always think of when I hear this song lol

  • Better than adele

  • Excellent Cover of the Black and Gold

  • What the hell was the warbling, erm I mean ad-libbing @middle 8 all about?! Like a Cat on a hot Tin roof.

  • Awesome!!!

  • way better than adele, sam sparro, and ellie goulding. WAAAY BETTER

  • @leandrooalmeida11 HAHAHAHHAA!

  • see i dont know why she auto tunes her voice, her raw one is so much better

  • @rosemaryironwood I don't think she even uses that much autotune.

  • @rosemaryironwood I couldn't agree more

  • i could not agree more!

  • @totallysammaher she just took off her coat :)

  • katy love the music of sam sparrow, she told it so many times. i think she sang this so often under shower, that its no problem anymore to sing this song for her. it sounds very proffesional :)

  • Wow

  • who actuly sings this song????

  • @2415FDZ Sam Sparro. :-)

  • PERFECT VOICE.

  • didn't know she could sing like this! hew songs are too 'poppy' she should show this more!

  • Who the fuck is sam sparro.....

  • Katy Perry has a beautiful voice, its sad that she never portrays it in her music.

  • Sam Sparro is the better singer.

  • Not bad. Sam Sparro wins in my opinion.

  • @HeidiPusskins maybe because he is the one that made the song lol

  • Katy, more songs like this PLEASE

  • Katy who? Adele ftw

  • I luv that song and i havnt listened to it in like 1 n a halfyeas n i still rememberd every word

  • jizz

    

  • I like Katy's version the best, all good though! Nice one Katy!

  • she didn't do this in one sitting. her clothes change at least once...

  • @bichstewie she didn't change her clothes, it's called having a jacket. cuz her skirt and the bow in her hair stay the same throughout the video.

  • I did not know she could sing so good!

  • check me cover out guys! hehe

    :) thankssss <3

  • nice se my cover

  • well at least her voice isnt edited in this :\

  • wow, she can sing, I couldn't tell she was this good from her other songs

  • 2:38 <3

  • 2:38 <3 

  • Check out Katy's cover of MGMT's song Electric Feel....SEXY....Her and the guys ;)

  • 3.26 ♥ smile!

  • it...it...it...it, well, it's amazing! her voice is beautiful and she's so full of potential!

  • omg katy perry is one of the most talented people l hav ever seen.

  • her voice was perfect for this song...loved it..hated ha outfit tho.

  • Wow, the way she says 'real'..... gives me shivers

  • Why compare Katy to others? They all are unique in their own way. It's Katys video so how about we talk about Katy instead of Adele or whomever.

  • Talk about a waste of Talent, that crap she records now may sell, but if Katy Perry sang all her songs in this style she will go down in history as one of the "greats"

  • @wodear that's actually pretty true. she might go down as a legend.

  • @wodear that's exactly what i think... 

  • i luv this version.

    1° KATY PERRY <3333333333333

    2° Adele

    3°Sam Sparro

    4° Ellie Goulding.

  • @leandrooalmeida11 adele first, love.

    

  • @leandrooalmeida11 Nup

    No.1 Sam Sparro

    No.2 Katy Perry

    NO.3 Adele

    No.4 Ellie Goulding

  • @leandrooalmeida11 katy is perfect

  • Sam Sparro's version is better.

  • I fucking love how she sounds in this. Go Katy <3!

  • @liad86 "Obviously adele is better" that's an opinion, nice try ;)

  • @The1KATYPERRY1 Well I acept ADELE has a suoer great voice, but in my opinion I really like this song whe Katy sings it!! I love both, Katy and Adele!

  • FLAWLESS.

  • WHAT?? SO GREAT ...

  • Best song I've ever heard her sing.

  • OKAY guys. Listen. Katy Perry CAN sing. She's pretty talented. Obviously, Adele has even more power and talent. But don't downplay Katy...she's good!

  • It's pretty obvious Katy Perry can sing, but I think her voice is too high for this song. She's still an amazing singer though.

  • AMAZING

  • she is still doing her choking thing and she has terrible technique. she's better than rihanna but not better than adele. adele is the best voice in the game.

  • Vote for Anabelle! She is a finalist for the Sacramento Kings Dance Team! The video response posted by ihatebeets is Anabelle. Go to kings.com to help her become part of an elite dance team!

  • She can kinda sing, but she really isn't as good as people make out , well i think anyway

  • the only thing that i dislike about this is tha HOWLING she does at the end

  • best cover ever. She CAN sing.

  • love ya voice!!!

  • whoehoeee ellie goulding & katy perry

  • her voice is so awesome . I am her big fan . . I know she doesnt sing still so good .. but she is ne of the best songer and for me the best singer .. I love the way she sing ..

  • Excellent remake on such a popular song!

  • she has such a good voice

  • This is very pretty, better than her pop stuff, but I think the original is better.

  • sounds off key..

  • Adele, Ellie and Katy Perry all have great covers and very distinct with their style of singing. But the best is Sam Sparro's. The original. =) Still like this cover though. Just tired of reading all the arguments on who does the best, obviously the original.
