  • luv u chan.. but Blidge suxx :p

  • 4:24 that smile

  • "once i wanted to be.......SOBER !"

  • The first time I saw her in Manchester, TN 2008, I cried. Literally. Tears down my face. She's so amazing.

    

  • A beautiful person..

  • AA is a cult.

  • not gonna lie i didnt know nothing about Cat Power or Feist untill last weekend when i got drunk as hell and did 3 tabs of acid......Couple friends put on the BBC program with radiohead on the verizon jawn....Imma hiphop head from birth and been a radiohead fan for awhile too....But after that program Cat Power and Feist both have my respect i feel in love wit those girls are baddd and rock and have soul....i love this girl....i dont believe she 40 she probably altered her birth cert like obama

  • i love this women . Im glad that i never seen her "act out ". But everything happens for a reason....

  • she's been through a lot in her life and still here to tell us her story, now is about time to choose a path, i want to say that i am with you Chan. you have more than a fan here!

  • Great interview!!

  • as a young 14 year old girl i feel like i want to protect her... she's beautiful.

  • There's something about troubled artists and talent. Case in point, Lane Staley of Alice in Chains. I miss him, but I'm positive if he didn't attack the smack the way he did, we wouldn't have standout albums like Dirt, or plain just any song he did in his life. Hope Chan doesn't go the way of Staley.

  • sometimes you have to burn your candle at both ends to make something great, whatever that is... I know lots of great music that would have never been made without various drugs, obsessions and abuses :)

    Loosing your mind is ok, it usually gets returned cause nobody else wants it either :D

  • epitome of sexy

  • alcohol is the secret girls!! and it doesnt work for guys, sorry my friends...

  • this interview makes her very real. i dont even know anything about her. But a lot of people have these doubts about their art and they slowly fall a part.

  • Alcoholism never looked so good.

    

  • She was about 35 when she did this interview.

    I'm 20.

    How is it that there's girls my age that do everything imagineable from perfect diets to living in a gym to plastic surgery, and they STILL aren't nearly as beautiful as Chan Marshall whose 15 years older, and has spent her entire adult life drinking and smoking?

    She's so beautiful. Not just in a looks way. That way is obvious. But you just get teh sense she has enormous depth of character. I feel like I want to protect her.

  • She's almost 40? WTF? She doesn't look a day over 25...

    SOOO Gorgeous

  • @birdman987654321 she was 34 at the time of this interview. She is beautiful here but please, she does not look or sound 25, she looks like a real pretty 30 something there are so many actresses and models in their 30s and 40s that put average looking 20 years olds to shame its nothing new.

  • @yourfaceisLOL I just agree…too sad.

  • Se a inspiração não fosse real, teria o mesmo conceito?

  • ela é demais

  • i love her! ah

  • the way she moves her hands its just poetic...

  • i love you, chan! 

  • If only artists can be that honest with their fans - Chan really sets a standard. This is coming from someone who is affected by alcoholism. Every day is a struggle, but every day you get through without taking a drink is something to be unashamed of and proud of. God bless you, Chan.

  • I want to be happy living for today

  • There is something very attractive about the way she acts. I guess its the suffering and maturity that she has developed out of pain, I can unfortunately relate.

  • smart girl and pretty classy -even with the drinking issue she never "Amy Winehoused" her body with disgusting tats.

  • i must slay her

  • I must confess: My english is bad and I don't understand very well what she says, but dude, just because it's her I loved the interview! This is silly, must be, but that's why is so cool to be fan of someone, got it?

    But I understood a little ok? I'm not that dumb :D

  • Seems like a pretty cool chick ! !Peace Ye`all !

  • No pun, but one of the greatest contemporary artists. Don't know why she's disappearing from the scene; what an incredible shame. Some of the best ever are fragile or self destructive. Darn!

  • i wonder if she was drunk for the transmusicales de renees 2006

  • I felt in love with her the minute I heard her rendition of Dylan's Stuck inside Mobile with a Memphis blues again. Best cover of that song ever in my opinion!

  • she's my mary j blige

  • she was brain wash

  • She's totally taking the piss in this interview!

  • my gawd she's beautiful...

  • i notice it said MS marshall, nice....

  • @yourfaceisLOL well on the plus side in a few years she'll come out with a album soundind like barry white, haha

  • She is very pretty in this clip

  • With blesses

  • i used to see you at the 40 vvattt - LOVED it.

    felecits on announcing your alcohol problem.

  • "I never really noticed that they liked me before...I never realized people were coming to see me play!"

    You poor self centered woman.

  • @ashrinketla A bit harsh considering she has a disease that only affects her, not her fans. Feel better when criticizing others?

  • @KenAnglan and your jealous.. walk on brother.. in arms.. ha ha

  • Hey Ms. Marshall,

    Its amazing when you get that clarity.. I'm a nebie.. got over a 100 days and counting.. i just take it day by day.. i'm hoping to start my film corporation this january 2010 and what better way then clean and sober.. you rock on girlfriend.. way to go.. keep it real!

  • @gloriaf09 Hope your still sober! Keep it up.

  • she seems very sweet, as well as having such a beautiful voice and so much talent. I hope she will continue to get stronger, healthier and more at peace

  • omg... I need her... 

  • she is gorjeas

  • Kinda strange how she grew from being a pretty young girl into this smoking hot, extremely sexy, powerful woman.

  • I LOVE YOU

  • Avrà pur smesso di bere..ma minchia quanto fuma...

  • she is a wonderful person! and i really can follow of that, was she meens about looking around and see things, that you have never seen before!

  • she looked ugly aged and soo drunk at the lilith fair in boston this year..that she couldnt sing her own songs. it was terrible

  • @eldridgegirl The words "ugly" in relation to Chan Marshall just don't even go together, dude.

  • @madeyes4u it did in boston...she is looking bad.. she looked like a scrub..i do like her music and she was beautiful..until i saw her at the lilith fair!

  • @eldridgegirl Skip to the 30 second mark. The first 20 seconds is just a picture.

    youtube.com/watch?v=laVJoWXF0q­g

    Looks like Chan and she looks fine to me, honestly. Looks like maybe her day was busy or something (judging from her hair and clothes), but DRUNK? No, she doesn't look drunk to me here.

    Unless...maybe I'm not seeing what you see. How can you tell here? I'm not trying to be rude to you or anything, so don't take this the wrong way.

  • @madeyes4u oh i know what your mean..she doesn look very beautiful here...but at the 2010 lilith fair about a week ago she looks horrible..thats whay i meant... dont worry i dont get offended easily ..lol..its just conversation!

  • @eldridgegirl god that would have been sick.. i've seen woman on stage at the Hotel Utah.. drunk as monkeys suprised that (can't remember his name) let her on.. she was on stage with a shot of who knows .. what .. liquid courage. . i guess and was such a mess.. i'm soo very glad that Ms. Marshall is back on track with her new found freedom and clarity..

  • @gloriaf09 she hasn't recovered from alcoholism..she is still drinking i say her in august and she was terrible..she used to be an amazing singer, but she was seriously messed up at the lilithfair. no disrespect to her, just what i saw.

  • This just makes me love her even more, hardly anyone who's been through alcoholism/depression ever has the strength to talk about it like she does.

    I hope she's still doing great<3

  • OMG, I had no idea she was in recovery - of course, it explains so much. So happy to see her smile :-)

  • OMG, I had no idea she was in recovery - of course, it explains so much. So happy to see her smile :-)

  • I love cat power, she's so idk she can also change pols lives. I remember when I first heard"sea of love" she's right once u listen to her u like stick with her she's so strong and I'm so proud of her.

  • She is beautiful!

  • She's beautiful

  • aaaatorooo!

    

  • wow.... just wow.....

  • There is no reason for her to have self hatred. So beautiful, so talented, so amazing. Im glad she is sober and realizing how great she really is.

  • NOOOOOO Don't smoke! Your too hot! STOP IT!

  • when she smiles it kills me ...

  • moon pix is my fav.

  • she is pure art to me

  • everytime I saw her she was fucked up and she was still amazing..just saying..but yeah, How is she able to stay sober when she's playing in a band with greg foreman?? that guy is notorious fer smack

  • open, raw and respect. She respects her limits.

  • damn.. shes bangin'

  • Yeah now shes shotting smack with greg foreman...Her new keyboard player. Shame shame shame Shes a sexy animal.

  • I really hope she's able to appreciate herself now, I think she's one of those people who would never want to harm anyone but themselves..

    she's unbelievably beautiful & talented. (so beautiful)

  • @mowibe you said it man

  • so god and such,

    is she a believer of that kind of thing?

    really?

    all my fantasies have changedatonce...

  • Self denial and self hatred is what creates beautiful art.

  • @Iagreetothethermsof

    Self-Denial yes- Self-Hatred no. Self-Denial requires a denial of self-indulgence and nothing is more self-indulgent than self-hatred. Darkness doesn't create great art-- Great Art is the process of an individual soul struggling to get out of the darkness. You should be happy for her because she is obviously happier now.

  • @Iagreetothethermsof Yeah, they become a lot less fun.

  • @Iagreetothethermsof .....at who's expense? I understand that emerging and plunging in that process can create amazing, raw, REAL art BUT I hate when people die failing. I hate turning over young 20-30-40 yr olds in hospital beds and pulling lines and tubes out and making their corpses "look" presentable for family members. Drugs and alcohol take take take. Depression takes and takes. It's unmerciful and it pains me greatly to watch the aftermath.

  • R.I.P

  • What?

  • Comment removed

  • Chan brings so much to our lives by sharing her beautiful voice with us. Chan, we all have your back because we love you too! Stay strong and keep singing your soul!

  • PEACE! :D

  • i wonder if Cat Power has a fat cat

  • Regardless of whether she was an alchy or not she makes beautiful music and that is what matters. On top of that If someone who is famous is open enough to share this kind of stuff we should respect that person and not judge. So dear tarzie84 you should watch your loud mouth.

  • wow she's brave

  • @tarzie84 Get a life. Did your mama teach you to respect all individuals regardless of their gender or issues. What makes you so special that you can label another person? Look in mirror!

  • double entendre

  • i am in love.  i hope i meet her some day, and we make sweet music together. Gotta love double entandras (sp?).

  • I completely agree.

  • she hadn't slept in ten days or three days?

  • Marry me Chan

  • lovely voice and so down to earth...

  • Comment removed

  • yo.. te quierrrro..

  • I love hearing her talk.....

  • @heidi0oo So do I...

  • è veramente un gran pezzo di gnocca, in tutto

  • fuk konyay

  • What a gem. She is so real and honest and raw. Her music is so totally from the heart and unique and what a voice! Love you, Chan. You are the best. You are the absolute best there is. Keep the faith and keep creating and giving all of us such wonderful gifts - your music! Peace.

  • she's the greatest

  • she's amazing.

  • good triumph.

    too bad she's still on the death sticks though...

    maybe that's next.

  • it's a rare artist who's so forthright about their personal trials and tribulations in an interview. and it's precisely that vulnerability and honesty that comes through in Cat Power's music, too. she's the real deal, folks, without all the bullshit posturing like so many other musicians. what a beautiful woman. what an amazing talent.

  • looks at interviews with dave mustaine from megadeth he is pretty honest

  • Frankly, I dont think there is a sexier woman alive on this planet.

  • @phatfish78 true that

  • I would love to have a conversation in person with her. So beautiful!

  • God she's beautiful!

  • I love you Chan.Keep your chin up. Be real and honest as you are allways are you have been given incredible gifts You inspire and motivate and you are so deternimed I love you Chan. You have given me so much faith and detemination. Use what God has given you by coindence. Thier is nothing worst then "gifts" that are wasted no matter how the human mind works. You ARE the best artist Ive seen in about 20 years. Will you send me an e mail so I can work for you? I love you Chan

  • i love her. she's down to earth,. she is the truth.

  • I hope she realizes how beautiful she really is ..

  • i think shes beautiful shes abit geeky some times but its cute and her music is good

  • Love you Chan!

  • Bah, she wrote better music when she was an alcoholic.

  • she hasnt released an album sober, so all her music was written when she was an alcoholic ...dumbass.

  • is she really an alcoholic?

  • un·comfort·a·ble·ness n. 1. The state of being tense and feeling pain

  • i would like to know where you got that definition. i looked in my hard copy of webster's 10th edition as well as webster's online.

    uncomfortableness

    The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. Click on a spelling suggestion below or try again using the search bar above.

    i am not trying to be a jerk, i love her music, but it goes to show how poorly we speak our own language.

    even if it was a word it would be a verb not a noun as a feeling is not a person place or thing.

  • she gave me m&ms they were good

  • wow i really like her music and i think i would like her as a person too and she is very pretty btw

  • God Damn she is sooo talented and sooo beautiful. Its unreal.

  • exactly

  • thank you i dont know if this will ever get to you but if it does thank you. you give hope to those who feel like they cant manage now and never can.

  • There is science to support it. You learn about it in pyschology, and all biology courses. There are many studies and it has been proven.

  • sooo pretttyyyy...

    WOAH i didn't know she's from georgia!! COOL!!

  • yeah she used to work at fellinis in atlanta

  • I miss you chan come back to switzerland to see me ='(

  • you`re amazing cat!!!!

  • gaynigerfrmoutrspace sorry it is NOt you !!isGreatBigChangeComin what an  idiot

  • gaynigerfrmoutrspace this dude is such a jerk is well-known that depression is an illness just like a flu the difference is depression is caused by the lack or the imbalance of serotonin, for instance, in your brain. serotonin is the brain's center of emotions. I suffered from it I saw my medical reviews so dude you need to do some research before you open your mouth!

  • precisely, chemical imbalance is no bullshit so you are wrong.

  • OK, name the chemicals that are imbalanced and what the proper balance is.

  • Seretonin

  • look up "neurotransmitter". These chemicals influence A LOT of what we experience and their balance is essential to being a stable person.

    Dopamine and serotonin are two of the main neurotransmitters that tells your brain to make you feel happy. A lack of them makes you unhappy. It's these neurotransmitters that drugs like ecstasy and cocaine exploit to make you feel unnaturally happy and euphoric.

  • If you look at your statement "that tells your brain to make you feel happy" notice that there are two nouns in that sentence, "brain" and "you" indicating two separate things. You are on to something here. Everybody knows what the brain is because you can open up a head and see one, but what is this thing called "you"? Could "you" be separate from the brain and even the body itself? Do you realize that every cell in your body has been replaced since birth, but its still the same you?

  • vbs . tv /watch/soft-focus/chan-marshal­l

    what is she on?

  • la amo

    la amo

    la amo !!!!!!!!!!!

  • thanks for posting, even though i have a couple of cd's had never really seen her. she looks as beautiful as she sounds.
