Cat Stevens cover "How Can I Tell You" diamond tv commercial

[ilianavillafan]

This isn't cat power...it's Liz durrett

[guerrerog1785]

ummm you cant download it anywhere because, liz durrett sings the song not regina spektor!! ahaha

[iseedeadpeople14]

Its cat power! i recognize her voice anywhere!

[youngthug21]

:'( i so love this song...it made me appreciate the special people in my life (no i didnt get one of the jewels for christmas)

[kittykitty0204]

I LOVE this song!!! I can't find this version anywhere, though. The original's format is too slow and boring for me.

[iseedeadpeople14]

@kittykitty0204 i know!

[penncity]

I love this tv ad!

[WallJay]

Diamonds do not equal love.

Good sound though.

[dresden67]

Yeah but they sure help, ladies like shiny stuff or mine sure does...

[BettyBoopBoots]

i usually dislike covers, but cat power is an absolute exception. i would do ANYthing to hear her full version...and apparently she was gonna do a full version for jukebox (her covers album)...but we can still hope, cant we?

i ♥ both the cats :)

[cancelmyjobDOTcom]

man people are so stupid this version is great. i have tried to buy it but it just doesn't exist in full version. i would pay like 5 buck for it. oh well...

[ultimatenate]

There is no full version I'm told, she only did the jingle for the commercial :(

[TheSoftBulletin82]

Man, I wish the track from this commercial was available full length.

[svenna90]

Haha, I would have been so scared, a snake!!!

[stephbrakurt]

agreed. and then some.

[AmberSHAZAMM]

i cant find the full version by cat power. :[

it's a great song. i like the original but this cover just appeals to my girly side a bit more.

[Claudy23]

@AmberSHAZAMM

watch?v=qCP5_5K1OlQ

There we go.

[Evangelineflame]

I am in completed agreement, this over processed imitation is refined sugar with no passion.

[muddgirl101]

this song makes me get butterflies in my stomache. :)

[StefanieUtube]

Chan you should write a song for exxon now! That would be a great thing to do.

[Dogdemongirl101]

luv it

[cintiaok]

You can't do Cat Stevens without Cat Stevens' voice -it might as well be a saturday night live skit. Terrible.

[MzKitty1920]

ooh thank you so much for posting this! i've been trying to find that song for a minute

[musichottieabc]

who sings THIS version of the song???

[07kje07]

cat power

[meambobbo]

it doesn't matter; it's debeers, which means so long as your buying diamonds, you're supporting their monopoly

[sgcutie528]

it's regina spektor

[gillogeri]

No it isn't

[07kje07]

its cat power, it says in the description

[karlndarln]

AGAIN.. WAKE UP PEOPLE..

This is Chan Marshall singing How Can I tell You, from the "Diamond is Forever" album. Song is only 33 secs long on limewire. No near future to do full song.

Yes Cat did do the original.. But its NOT her in this version... DOWNLOAD IT ON LIMEWIRE AND SEE YOURSELF..

***CHAN MARSHALL IS THE SINGER FOR THE COMMERCIAL.. SEE FOR YOURSELF***

[goldtreefrog87]

Huh? Chan Marshall IS Cat Power...

[spydermonkeydeux]

It isn't Cat Power's version, Cat Power's version doesn't sound half this good. It is Liz Durrett so far as I can tell, you can find her cover on Limewire.

[SouthGirl21]

yes it is liz durrett thank you so much. I was going to loose my mind not being able to find that version. : D

[franzchick66]

are you sure? couldn't it be feist?

[mimiakhflu]

people its cat power and is there only 29 seconds of this song? i want to find the full version sooo bad...

[mikemedeiros]

The band member of The Dirty Delta Blues Band (Cat Power's current touring / recording band) that maintains the Cat Power My Space page has made it clear that at this point Chan has no plans to record the full version of the Cat Stevens (and I think the 2 "cats" was just a coinsidence) song and to please stop asking about it.

[thestarsareprojector]

this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music i have ever heard.

[AboveAverageJoe1]

I neeeeeeeed the full version of this song. Since I don't think im the only one who is longing for her to record this song then i think someone needs to start an online petition. If everbody who watches this video signs it and then we sent it to Chan Marshall she would be compelled to do something about it after she hears the outcry. Come on now, who's with me?

[lancitos]

I always say if you can't do it better or at least as good as the original,and you want to broadcast it everywhere - why bother?

This "version" is tuneless and awful where the original is heartfelt and inspired, a true

timeless love song. Where did the melody go?

And why are there so many "little girl voiced"

singers? Is it because little girls buy the music?

[mimiakhflu]

people its not cat power or cat stevens or regina spektor OR fiest....i checked...and i checked a bunch of other no name singers and its not this song!! its this song but different...anyone know who sings this song???? PLZ MESSAGE ME IF YOU DDDOOOO!!!

[ClassicCity17]

No, it is Cat Power

[peaceloveinspiration]

it's actually liz durrett.

[nkr707]

your dumb. its cat power. she did not record the full song, thus you will not find it.

[abby13ER]

The song is called "How can I tell you". I love this Song!

[Starfire92]

omg i love this commercial... its so romantic and cute

[babispanki74]

its not regina spektor retards.

its cat power...aka chan marshall

[shaynelee]

The singer's name is Cat Power and the version was done especially for the commercial. Trust me, you can't get it anywhere. It's really beautiful and I hope they release it to the public

[karlndarln]

This is Chan Marshall singing How Can I tell You, from the "Diamond is Forever" album. Song is only 33 secs long on limewire. No near future to do full song.

[jasonxscape90]

Cat Stevens is the original singer but this is Regina Spektor

[Dorkussmorkus458]

I WANT IT!!!

[zingymosquito]

cat did the ORIGINAL...it is NOT cat stevens

[skeetskeet1234]

thats why it says "cat stevens COVER"

[Premiumfeel]

Cat Power is singing it. =/

[Premiumfeel]

Oh and you can go to their myspace page and read the blog titled "How Can I Tell You". They dont' know if they're doing a full version yet. is NOT regina spektor or feist.

[Losersarelovely]

This is regina spektor not cat stevens

[dirtymonk]

its cat stevens.

[dashiznit612]

ok listen, for you people who think it's someone named "cat power" your wrong. Cat power did do a cover of this, but in this commercial, it IS Regina Spektor. I downloaded the cat powers version, and it is not the same person as in this commercial. Regina spektor is singing the cover of Cat Stevens "How Can I Tell You", and you CAN'T download it anywhere, i've tried.

[dresden67]

The way I recorded it ...it's a bit distorted so she sounds much older not on purpose, listen to other commercial versions.

[iSTARRRu]

i just downloaded the cat stevens version from limewire. t3 speed with 57 people sharing....and youre right....i CANT find regina spektors version......

[hottierik]

i really want this song to get realesed as a single it really should who ever sings it i heard its cat power and reviewed it on i tunes saying she should do a cover i hope it happens at least by x mas time..it be great..

[vbrathezebra]

I concure, it's a beautiful version. Classic, yet new. Love it.

[xxChaoticPeacexx]

stfu Yalla.

it's a beautiful version.

and lots of commercials use other artist's songs with permission for their ads. not everyone writes their own jingles. sure, its original if they do but sometimes it's pretty damn corny.

the song just seems to fit the commercial so they used it.

and at first, i could've sworn this was Norah Jones, or Regina Spektor <3

[netrokid]

It doesn't sound like Cat Power's version.... It does sound like Feist, but I don't know that it's her either

[bibibond]

I heard it was Judy Ann Santos

And that its unreleased so you cant find it..

It's deff. not Cat Powers--thats an older woman!

[dresden67]

the way I have recorded it's distorted so she sounds older ,not on purpose mind you it just came out that way... original commercial sound I have the the link to the upper right corner, bottom link..she does sound older sexier I think :)

[reddropdrop]

sounds like Feist

[hindot2]

I swear that sounds like Regina Spektor singing

[YallaNas]

I DESPISE this version.

Please please please people -- it is disgusting that this beautiful, hippy-ish ballad is being used to promote low-level diamonds. Ugh ugh ugh. I almost cried with disappointment when I saw this commercial. I hate the way ad agencies can't come up with their own jingles/ads & are jacking classic songs. Wish they would stop...it's just tacky. Wish more people knew the difference too...

[jojuvenile]

your a sick asshole.

lmfao.

wat a retarded view on the commercial.

who cries??

lmfaooooo

[shaynelee]

obviously has no ear for beauty

[curleytop78]

I love this version of this song. I would love to play it in my up-coming wedding. Hopefully it will be released by then! I love it.

[rikanaka]

AKA Yusaf Islam, Mr. Peace Train.

[somebodyquiet]

Ah this version rocks

[pokerlenn]

liz durrett is the closest you'll come to finding what you're looking for

[telliwood]

Actually the lady who sings this name is CAt Powers, her real name is Chan Marshal. She has a lot of songs and videos on youtube. Unfourtunatly this partcular cover for Cat Stevens (a 70's group)How can I tell you, has not been released. You might find it on an imported cd, if she has them.

[fleurdela]

yep, it's cat powers

[blinkandoverlook]

Cat Stevens "a 70s group"? Cat Stevens is one man, and he released albums in the 1960s and 1970s.

[telliwood]

By bad, Cat Stevens, one man who released albums in the 60's and 70's!

[MissAnakaj]

you can find the cat stevens version on itunes

[hvs142]

sounds like feist, the girl in the ipod commercial

[multisync36]

OMG!! After seening this again on TV today i went out to search for the song. Now my quest has hit an unhappy ending...

[lornarocker]

I thought it was norah jones.. :-/

[DiNaHtheNaNaBeAr]

It's by Cat Power... but they won't release it... -_-

[silencer19]

omg this better than cat stevens..

[bballpianopro21]

beautiful

[Gooiegoo]

i just listened to thatsinger regina spektor and it does sound like her, except a little softer

[bnightwing]

man everyone who has great music taste thought it was regina

[wihro]

it does sound like regina.

[JOHNNYx90]

I WANT THIS SONG SO BAD..... I LOVE this girls voice, i thought it was Regina Spektor at first... It sounds exactly like her voice on the song Hotel song.. well very.. very... similar.. I want this song so bad

[bnightwing]

It kinda dose sond like regina i give you credit it dose sound like her and great music taste!

[cyberhd]

I just love this song!!! I wish Cat Power has the full version of this on CD.

[Ngatwn]

Cat Power actually did the cover of this song not judy ann santos

[DBDARRELL1966]

thats dumb...why didnt she make a full version instead of thirty seconds

[DBDARRELL1966]

is this the whole like version of this song? this version? just 30 seconds?

[fixxxyaface]

yes.

[yeahyeahhuckabees]

Is this regina spektor singing it

i know that its cat stevens though

[charitomay]

not regina spector but cat power.

[Yazzyd305]

i know right!! i thought it waz regina spektor wen i first heard it but its sum chick named judy ann santos. i guess theres no full version. =(

[WTFitsNICK]

I thought it was Regina too.

[aznlily17]

so sweet

[bunnypick]

I want this version so badly. I've dl absolutely every other version of this song and none of them are as good as this.

[penymac]

Love this song!

[imaguy2]

i tought it was Keren Ann

[chuatuyet15]

if Cat Powder sing the whole sonng... it's will be super popular... but have to exactly this tone... ^ ^

[heroinkillz1]

If you go to projectplaylist. com they have the 30 second clip from the commercial

[alexuroo]

If anyone has the full Cat Power version. Please send me it :P to ars3@hotmail(dot)com

Thanks in advance!

[tempscrem]

Yeah, the recorded version sounds like a 70s recording with an old grandma singing it...

[StormX]

FUCKING love this song. Too bad she didn't do the whole version of this song with that tone of voice. The whole version she did she has a different voice, which sucks. I like the commercial version.

[hellkatfx]

how do you find the whole version of this song? I have read that it hasn't exist. I would love to hear it even if it is crap. Chan is amazing but also inconsistent

[StormX]

Limewire...lol.

[omgjontravolta]

this commercial is one every 5 minutes.. i liked it at first, but now i cant stand it

[sjmarshall81]

Her name is Chan Marshall - aka Cat Powers

[dragonofdragon]

its Regina Spektor!

[peridotserenity]

I think you are right dragon. I recently heard Regina sing Samson and it sounds like the same voice and the same woman

[defleppardis1]

the only person other than cat stevens and john frusciante that sings this song is liz durrett, but thats not who is singing this version

[molkitaleni]

I love this song!

I cry like a baby when i watch this commecial! xD

Its not in iTunes though :(

[funnybunny09211]

seriously, me too! and i felt like such a nerd when tears got in my eyes! it's so beatiful, i wish i could get it on on itunes!!!!

[galarragas]

aww i love this song.. someone please tell me where i can find the whole song.. PLEASE!

[sixisred]

You cant. CAT POWERS only recorded 30 seconds of the song for this commercial. You can't get the song becuase it's not actually her song, she's doing a cover for Cat Stevens who sings the original song.

[funnybunny09211]

it's cat powers. you can only get it on limewire, but i don't have limewire....so, that sucks for me! i love this song too, i hope you can find it on limewire!

[molkitaleni]

I know you can get it on limewire and stuff, but i just dont wanna steal it xD!

[ohiohay]

I cry when I see this commercial. And my boyrfriend recently sung it to me while giving me a ring... o gawd did I cry like a baby.

[funnybunny09211]

omg. that is soooooooo sweet! i would have cried too.

[elpollococo]

Wait, not John Frusciante. I just saw him right now so I got mixed up.. Who sang this cover anyway?

[vze4fd2s]

cat powers

[elpollococo]

I like this version more than Cat Steven's. His is still beautiful, but I don't know, John Frusciante's voice is beautiful.

[federicogo]

I never really liked the original version but this version is great. I hope she releases her version too.

[Gerrys1PhantomFan]

The smile that man gives at the end KILLS ME EVERY TIME!!! It is just so...romantic and just sickenly sweet!Not to mention he looks HOT!I cried the first time I saw this commercial and I still cry!I love it!It just gives me such warm and fuzzy feelings!

[vlgala]

i love this version. her voice is so mello and calming!!

[kwala927]

cutest song.

[sweetasianpear]

I absolutely love this commercial. It is the sweetest one ever. I nearly cried when I got the journey pendant from my person.

[languagelesslau]

the label isn't releasing it because there is no finished song. They are replying to masses of emails and informing people that Chan only recorded 30 seconds, i suppose thats all the diamond company comissioned her for. But she has a new covers album coming out this year, so maybe she'll do a full recording of this song for that. Cat power is Chan Marshall + sometimes a band. No Feist.

[dreydin]

is Feist aka Cat Power? either way, i <3 this song :)

[dreydin]

is Fesit, Cat Powers? either way, i <3 this song :)

[dreydin]

err, not Fesit... i meant, Feist

[petietothecore]

no feist is leslie feist.

cat power is chan marshall

[LMartella]

It's actually Cat Power who is singing the song. I &hearts; cat power. I wish she'd release this song.
