[forbarbarella]

I love the way she moves her feet when she sings

quaite good and sexy stage show , who ever think this is stupid can kiss my fetischist ass , love from istanbul

[gaspariablesky]

Que tiene calambres en los pies?

[Heartlikearock87]

sober haha i love herrr. she reminds me of me :)

[lizokitten2]

blah blah i'm a youtube user blah blah blah bitch bitch blah my opinion blah blah blah i'm stupid blah blah blah faggot something lol

[upLIF]

everybody should agree with my opinion !

[hela99]

i love her, for her beauty and her talent, and her modesty

[kennyg03]

sober lol

[coraline63]

mediocrity...

[rachelo93]

@jemappellekait, let it be.

[silversunned]

I love Cat power! :D she's freaking amazing! :D :D 

[TheEmowithsunglasses]

When you have to say your sober your not

[riceforlosers]

@TheEmowithsunglasses OR PERHAPS JUST ON THE DEFENSE OF a STATE OF WASTE

[TheEmowithsunglasses]

@riceforlosers what? do you mean shes defending her wastedness. Im not sure what you mean.

[LoveMusicPeace117]

Oh gosh, I wish I had her talent...her voice is so incredibly beautiful. I love her music.

[xmfdibujito]

love her feets . )

[ShowmetheBlues]

feet having an orgasm LOL

good soulful singer love her

[alka0593]

this girl is totally amazing and she has such a kind of singing that I love sooooooo much !!!

[henrix1989]

haha what the heck is she doing with her foot?

[musicshake]

beata te o beato tu....io nel 2006 non avevo ancora messo mano su un suo disco, non la conoscevo proprio....ora sono quasi 3 anni che aspetto di vederla in tour.

[ElizaDay66]

A lot of her music is original. She has 8 albums/1 EP! She has such a great voice and the ability to reinvent herself with each album. She goes from an alternative PJ Harvey sound to bluesy/soul then onto something hip hopish like on the Handsome Boy Modeling School album. She is simply awesome. I'm surprised she doesn't have a bigger following.

[nimbledy]

@rachelo93

original? she almost only does covers, she just sings them more quietly...

on the other hand her cover of "sea of love" was one of the most beautiful things ever

[jmeaux7]

@nimbledy Have to agree with you there nimbledy...Sea of Love is the reason I'm on this video ; )

[husker666]

I have met my soul mate except that shes talented and I,m not...agree with rachels comment here about slagging off artists. If its not your sort of music then go elsewhere lol!!!!

[coldimar1]

why hate?

[adreanix]

Why's everyone up in arms with the "bet you can't do it better" responses? So what? Ok, my rendition might be god awful, doesn't mean this performance didn't suck (coming from a fan of cat power). If my accountant does a shitty job with my taxes, I don't expect someone to reply "bet you can't do a better job!"

If it weren't for the title being displayed I bet most of us would have trouble even just discerning what song she was covering

[runninglyrics]

@adreanix I too being a fan of cat power would have to agree with you. Honeslty, you're not a good fan if you don't know when a band you like does something that isn't the quality you expect of them.

[AhPoetry]

I love her attitude. She's so...organic.

[linauswanatabe]

@AhPoetry shes so organic WHAT DOES THAT FUCKING MEAN... omg thats such a stupid saying... and i love cat power. i'm just insulting you haha

[Woodstockinrock]

What a House............

[miscelanea]

Mucha coca... Y me encanta como canta esta mujer.

[jimmyjimmyjimmyjames]

anyone know what effects she uses on her mic here?

[Mozaeous]

people are so contrary.

[PAULFC93]

How is it possible to be that attractive?

[prettykiray]

she's so cool i like her...honest

[cimetiere]

I normally don't like covers of classic rock, but this is actually pretty relaxing to listen to...

[TheRealCosmicJones]

This is a classic Blues song, from way before The Birds covered it.

[cimetiere]

@TheRealCosmicJones Yeah, I know that. Some say it's a song from roughly the sixteenth century, while the first known recording was around the 30s. I consider a classic rock song because I grew up with the classic rock versions. Either way, it's still an amazing song.

[3R3BU5GAT35]

@cimetiere technically they are all covers, this song was written in 1922, its one of the oldest american blues songs ever written.

[cimetiere]

@3R3BU5GAT35 As I stated before...

[Maggielicious21]

@3R3BU5GAT35 hey! nobody really knows when this song was actually written but it truly was way before than 1922

[3R3BU5GAT35]

@Maggielicious21 well i looked it up and it said specifically 1922

[Maggielicious21]

@3R3BU5GAT35 mmm weird . . . where did you looked up?

[aflex631]

i dont normally leave youtube comments but i couldn't close this page without saying that the guy 2 down (thot4) is an idiot.

[razorage85]

questa donna e straordinaria, adoro Cat Power, fa delle canzoni bellissime, poi a quel suo modo di cantare inusuale veramente fantastico, ma e proprio quel timbro di voce che mi manda in paranoia, profondo, quasi confidenziale, bellissima voce

[mobythedictator]

someone give that bitch a xanax

[thot4]

im a drug dealer at my school i could kill you if i wanted

[mamaismcbusy]

ahahahahahahaha

[djcoreyboi]

wow. just fucking wow

[ILUVNY1994]

i love her :)

[konigsberg82]

quando dice "ciao come stai? tutto bene" io potrei anche morire...Chan ti AMO!

[SoccersForPussies]

noobish

[aiiiipe]

haha never do i have a trip to youtube and not see an argument

[deetardeded]

@aiiiipe check the regina spektor videos. ARGUEMENT FREE.

I swear to God, any single song by here, you wont find one argument.

plus, watch the videos because they're spektacular.

[Tubyubber]

@aiiiipe yeah man. personally I think a singer who calls herself Cat Power is incapable of making a bad song.

and plus, this is a brilliant version. guess everyone who critized it was watching something else.

[AlleReligionen]

@aiiiipe Type in "CHRISTIAN ANDERS - THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN." Now THAT I call a PERFORMANCE!!!

[samonmars]

You're all pathetic. There. Now stfu.

[Wonin6billion]

Do you mean that you liked her expressions when she was suffering?

If that is the case then fuck you.

[stackingpain]

The best music comes from deep emotion man

[kesdabest]

three brownie points please

[AnimeKena]

hey man, lets spread the love. haha chill dudes. this is youtube. everyone has their own opinion.

[jbad13]

matheus222- she has admitted to being wasted at all her shows prior to mid-2008. so imagine doing that hammered? i think she did a good job and i will challenge you to post a video of you doing this.

"Matheus222...I'm sure I CAN do a better cover"

[Matheus222]

you challenge me? What is the price?

And please, jbad13, get a camera and a mick - I'll stand for the guitar and amp - and record me while I play it. Then put it on youtube. Please?

I've no problem with her voice, but there's no guitar playing and she doesn't use her sining voice properly. I'm not saying it's horrible! But it's nothing special either.

[Nachtorchidee]

No price. I just think that people all the time say: I can di it better and it just a phrase. Most of the time they don't show it or are not even able. That was my point.

[Matheus222]

I know that. But my point is that this isn't any special.

[jawskateforeal]

nigga tha shit was hella dope nigga

[Matheus222]

i'm not a fan of her, never seen her.. but WHAT?!

I'm sure I CAN do a better cover - the only thing she got more than me is that she wasn't nervous (and I'll be if I got the chance)

[Nachtorchidee]

than show a cover. you can talk a lot but you should not critize just like that

[Matheus222]

you say: "there's no way you could ever do a better cover" and DIRECLTY after you tell me to make a video to show I can do it better.

Wtf..

[Matheus222]

Let me think that I can, and why should I prove it to you? Who are you? I'm not to proud that I'll make a fucking video just because you wanna see results. Seriously, stop answering and get a life? Why are you even bother yourself, I won't change my mind! Thanks to you, I fucking hate her!

[Matheus222]

My english isn't the best. So I can't understand everything, but I've an idea of what you wrote.

And I love music. There's something you should know; People aren't the same! We got different look of what is good and bad.

And by the way, she is good. I never wrote it was horrible! But I've seen other videos where she ACCUALLY SING! Here she is messing around on the song. She isn't taking this so serious! She could give alot more!

So what's wrong with this?

[Matheus222]

Wow, you're kidding? I see it now. You need a friend, seriously. If you wanna talk about Hate, I'll tell you that hate is a very strong word! And if you think you know what music is, then you should know what sarcasm is! Because music is alot more complicated! Good job.

And this is not the best perfomance of house of rising sun. You might think so, but I don't. Wanna try change my mind on that? Good luck.

[Matheus222]

Does it look like I wanna arguee? I've swear enough to tell you to just leave it.

And who started to be personal, when you think you know what I know about music. And my videos isn't telling you a shit.

[Matheus222]

You don't know what you're talking about.

If you used more brain and less ass, you'd know that the videos is old. And it say I'm a beginner. And JUST because I can't play the guitar that well, doesn't mean I can't sing? Or all singers need to be able to play the guitar first?

Come on, just shut up, you're making yourself look bad for me.

[shawndimery]

You really know what your on about, Thats why you have a Rammstein on your fave list? You know fuck all mate, studying doesnt make you good at music, it comes naturally brother. i taught myself the drums and now i teach for a living, now get lost schoolboy

[adreanix]

@shawndimery judging someone based on the fact that they have a rammstein vid in their favs is pretty childish, best not to call another the schoolboy. Also, those who can't do, teach. enjoy failing at your chosen field

[shawndimery]

@adreanix I posted that 7 months ago and im doing good to be honest, I dont make a fortune but just enough to get by without having to work 9 to 5 been told what to do. Im happy and thats all that matters, you spiteful cunt.

[adreanix]

@shawndimery lol y u mad tho?

[shawndimery]

@adreanix Because you said "enjoy failing at your chosen field" When im not failing. Im actually happy and thats all that matters in life.

[speccyride]

shes pish, thinks shes patti smith grrr

[ramjet449]

Do you understand English? I didn't say the JoBros were better, I said that they can play and sing and she can't, while my main point was that they both suck?

[ramjet449]

If being narrow minded means I prefer musicianship to someone in need of seizure medication then I gladly plead guilty. Epifunk, it sounds like you're too young to remember RS when it was a real magazine, now it's mostly full of rappers and Mickey Mouse Clubbers. Oh, I'm sorry, you're probable a Jonas Brothers fan too.

[rachelo93]

she is nothing like any of the Disney people, or the other lame people who don't even sing live or write their own music. just thought i'd mention that ...

[ramjet449]

Thanks for the enlightenment. Obviously she's not like the JoBros - they can actually play their instruments and sing. Their music reeks of teeny bopper burnt flesh, but they can play and sing.

[whoistracii]

A really bad cover of this song.

Way too slow and she took a beautiful blues song into a soft ballad.

It just doesn't work.

[ramjet449]

Wow! She'd be a real musician if she could just play or sing. Another sad example of the crap the music industry and way-past-their-prime rags like Rolling Stone are promoting.

[Epiphone314]

Wow, you must be narrow minded in music, she is very good compared to all the shit thats pumped out of the industry, and shes not even part of the industry, she on an indie record label last time i checked. And fuck you rolling stones kick ass lol

[jalmanzo]

good cover. If you liked this song, check out the version by Odetta. Its something special.

[duece0831]

thats funny she is reading the chords off her foot of lyrics but defenitly something

[FunkiPigeon]

That left foot must be really interesting since she keeps on lifting it up to have a look at it...

[williamburroughs1]

she is actually a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. So sorry shes clean

[bubalips1984]

I love this womans voice!!!! Set me into a trance........

But is she on drugs in this one??

xx

[platoon018]

why would she be on drugs?

[bubalips1984]

Maybe she likes them...

You mean... why do u think she is on drugs??

I've just came across her so i dont know how she usually performs live but she just seems all fidgety, like shes on coke....thats all

[Jonnybblast]

She says (after she takes a drink at the beginning) thats shes sober. This is after the greatest album right?

[brrnay]

yes, she said it multiple times i believe.

[platoon018]

I don't know her well either but she might just be this way because she's on stage (adrenaline for example). But still I guess you could always be right in the case that she's a wild chick..

[duffelbagbrian]

I don't know if you heard it but she said, "sober" before she started singing.

[bubalips1984]

Yes i heard. Look i did not say she is on drugs i only asked a question because of her body language. And sober means no drink not no drugs.

Just thought they way she was all figety was a little weird, but like i said before maybe this is just how she preforms. Im not dissing her x

[Clayroo42]

She's referring to alcohol, but sober can mean drugs too.

[conxtantine]

yeah .. she is an alcoholic .. I guess she was quitin alcohol and she was proud of it .. but oh well ..

[lolliebee]

one of my fave songs - and what a cover - AMAZING!

<3 <3 <3

[nessza00]

Ha egyszer Magyarországra jönne... Miatta elmennék a tömegbe...

[54spiritedwill54]

good freaking song shes amazing

[TripNDazy]

does anyone know if she will be touring the states anytime soon???

[eakashlort]

wauw.. I love this video.. she's great, the song's great and the smoke at the behind reminds me of summer nigths at festivals.

[whateverhte]

seems like her first show out of rehab or one of the first. she seems so happy! I wish we could see the whole thing.

[duckinapond123]

I think her first concert after the quit drinking was in Toronto, in '06.

But I know that she started breaking down on stage in a Toronto concert shortly before her sobriety because of a break up or something...

[Bardanha]

I just hate when the artist is starting to get the spirit into the song while she starting the song and the people start to clap and scream.FUCK shut the fuck up!! THIS IS ART PLEASE RESPECT THE MOMENT! and fuck everywhere it happens.. here in south of brazil is a war when an artist stars a soul-leaded song, theres aways an asshole whistling or screaming "YEAAH THATS A GOOD ONE!!" sorry if i sound pissed of.. but it pisses me off!! LOL

[fknawsum]

hahaha "FUCK shut the fuck up!!" you cracked me up with that. oh man i know what you mean, once people start screaming you just lose the appreciation for the song alittle bit.

[liverbird0687]

I know what your talking about. I was listening to her cover of Crazy and some asshole starts clapping. It's like "what the fuck are you clapping for? To let people know that you like the song Crazy? Every one likes the song Crazy,its a great song. So we are now trying to listen to a great artist cover a great song over your dumb ass. So either stop clapping or I'll be forced to cut your hands off so you well be unable to clap and hopefully pass out form blood loss."

[Bardanha]

You know.. im not a FAN of her, but if u wud be there i wud even stop breathing to hear the voice of this fenomenon, but some people just like to scream to the whole word "LOOK AT ME I NOW WHAT IS THIS SONG, I BOUGHT THE CD AND I LOVE IT MORE THAN EVERYONE ROUND HERE, OK?!" that just make me furious, when people just want to project themselves using these artists for stereotype..

[AldaHuxley]

Oops, not The Rolling Stones... The Animals did the original.

[opiate115]

No they didn't. No one's really sure who did the original. It's been covered by quite a few people. I believe, although I could be wrong, that Dave Van Ronk figured out this version of the chord sequence. Then Dylan nicked it, then the Animals nicked it.

[AldaHuxley]

Ooops, again. You're right.

[deathandnightingales]

woody guthrie did a nice version circa 1940's. some of his songs were folk tunes that had been going around a bit, i think i remember reading about some cunt who criss-crossed america in the 30's putting similar songs on record so they weren't lost? great song anyway

[Jmehix]

Wow! This is the polar opposite of The Animal's musically and vocally talented version. My parents would laugh at this

[Carfer22]

I love the original too much to even listen to her cover!

[opiate115]

Which original would this be?

[Carfer22]

Ok, you got me! :-) Its not the original in it's "truthiest" sense, but it is the one to which I compare all others and this version suffers by it.

[postalpixie]

I like that you used the word "truthiest"... good word.

[AldaHuxley]

Rolling Stones

[MusicMago]

Cat Power in Portugalwas awesome! Can't stop watching it at central Musical's website:

centralmusical. pt/?c=6619

[charlotteaberg]

she's just fucking brilliant and if u don't get itnur a loser!

[EpicDesires69]

lip singer?

[Dylan1307]

absolutely not

[tzohfeld]

Do you honestly think she would make it that obvious?

[carlyisgay]

the term, is lip Synker were her lips are in Synk with the music.. she isn't doing it here, but it makes you laugh thinking about the boy band "Nsync"

[Brian5475E]

the video is screwed up you idiot.  The audio and video are not in SYNC!

[ColdMountainWater]

I'd like to give her a foot massage.

[Mshobley]

If I gave a concert, I would love to do it barefoot just like that. It shows a level of comfort, connection, and trust that she has with the audience.

[kristeva24]

First time I heard it I thought that she is very concentrated on singing. But when I saw it... ;)

[thegimprevolt]

Someone give that poor woman some shoes!

[karieanonymous]

lol

[equalcharliebrown]

I really don't get all the cat power hate I've been seeing on youtube. Shes works in a minimalist style, and she makes covers her own.

Johnny Cash does it and get praised, she does and gets shit.

change is not always bad you know.

[Fiammix]

I adore her

[thasshot]

i don't like her covers

**

[rich13k]

i don't like her new record.

the old "Covers Record" is amazing though.

so is her Wonderwall cover @ john peel.

[thegimprevolt]

Lol, everyone's given you a thumbs down just 'cause you stated your opinion in level terms.

[VariedInterest]

We don't take kindly to contrarian agendas 'round here.

[BlushingBull]

"contrarian agendas" I'm so using that!

[219records]

i don't get the whole thing

[tirso777]

good freaking song shes amazing

[sonofeltopo]

has she released this cover? she should!

[craigos1983]

If you have Itunes there is a version of this song. It's under "Itunes sessions" and it's really good.

[livelylunatick]

yah she has quite a bit of movement to her, definately not boring to watch and very real, i enjoyed her concert full. but appaloosa , the opening band was great i mean awesome, the guy was an awesome dancer and he was so cute he tripped b4 he got on stage but that didnt phase him i was very inspired by them i wish n hope i see appaloosa again. it was a little like depeche mode

[123456789159487263]

I swear she isn't actually playing the guitar

[dantgood]

No, the video and audio soundtracks just aren't linked up properly.

[123456789159487263]

Spafe

[jenniferbabe]

wow She's a got tasty toes and feet : ) , i's a male lol , but She's a Super Cute!!!

[noracwynn]

well, actually, if it were to be in a language that would be understood by the largest amount of people, it would be in chinese, and then spanish.

[rednumbersix]

hmmm lets see... why aren't all languages english? we should all have one great english language right? Letting other people speak other languages is just silly right? Guess it's time to start teaching the rest of the world the greatest language ever... why don't you get right on that dumb fucks...

doh! x|

[gaspanicc]

She's speaking Italian too.

[BlackChan5]

I was meaning : why aren't the comments in ENGLISH ?

[goldiecox34]

Not everyoen has to speak english! youtube is a multinational website

[BlackChan5]

Multinational... Multinational... C'moooooooon... It's a globalization product ! Thing is that if you don't speak English, you get less chance to be understood by others...

[gaspanicc]

She is speaking in italian, why would all the comments have to be in english?

[BlackChan5]

Just to be understood by the largest part of the people... It's only a matter of communication.

[dantgood]

Peut-être ils ne parlent pas anglais. Peut-être ils s'en foutent si un con comme toi ne comprend pas.

[BlackChan5]

WHY DON'T YOU SPEAK ENGLISH ?

[benniz82]

ma dove si è tenuto il concerto?

[giddycarousel]

anch'io!

[matrix2386]

c'ero anch'io...spettacolo!

[slepponzio]

Io c'ero
