Cat Power - Crying, Waiting, Hoping

[SimstrX]

OMG... I didn't know a good song (a classic if you will) can sound that bad...

you should go back in the kitchen...

[elision8]

no more waiting, no more crying!...

[cabronaMR]

I don't know why this video reminds me of Carla Bruni... weird. Love Cat Power! ♥

[YouHateAlex]

I love her guitar. Not as much as I love her voice, but still.

[Urankar3]

Very nice version for this great Holly;s song*****!!!Btw,watch my guitar version!!!!

[hiphopspriority30]

Damn Age Ain't Nuthin but a Number!! whew she's still lookin fine as hell for almost being 40!

[Tony81444]

bull shit darling ..you destroy this song sorry but is true..and this version is not from rolling stones its original from Buddy Holly...

[rosehouseblues]

@Tony81444 its not saying its by the rolling stones jack ass, its from the rolling stone sessions.

[LilehAndGrim]

sad that she's lost so much of her voice because of ciggarettes.

[michamechudo]

Ouch, not a great cover of this song at all. Marshall Crenshaw did an amazing cover in the movie, "La Bamba." The Beatles did a good version.

[3cliffsbay]

Check out Wreckless Eric's version of this Buddy Holly classic.

[Robmelgar]

To me she¿s like the female version of Eddie Vedder

[magnostic]

@Robmelgar couldnt agree more. !!

[ghfdgusd]

drugs rule !!

[MrBaebel]

@ghfdgusd : Once the drugs don't work anymore just then the worst is over...

[thegreatflambino]

It's almost hard to believe her when she sings because there's no way any man would break that heart

[bohemianbeagle]

@thegreatflambino sometimes, people don't need other people to break their hearts. chan's been through tough times with herself. so, you know, most of the songs she writes echo heartache and pain. they don't necessarily indicate that there was someone who inflicted them.

[K0rnyKl0wn]

@thegreatflambino Well, to be quite fair, she was a raging alcoholic for quite awhile.

[1979rickfukingjames]

No.

[FabianBajorat]

who are the beatles...

[snapperjohn1000]

WHY?

[Lily0Loves0You]

This is the type of music that should be on the radio! Instead of that other crap!

[CMloveify]

I love her and her music.

[iggnilla]

just ruined a classic..god.

[OliJayy]

@iggnilla NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[sphinxart]

her voice gives me goosies big time.

[skrew86]

that is shit execution -.-

[JadeInBlack777]

i looooove her voice!!!

[sinatrafixi]

Of the few singers that sing beautiful in live

[BroccolliKilla]

Shes like a lady form of Bob Dylan. IMO She's awesome.

[algore1993]

jack johnson has a sitting, waiting, wishing song :))

[deZengo]

LOVE this band. Great upload - my first time hearing this one. Thx. dZ

[Lukin713]

Amazing! What a beautiful voice! :)



[bianca7147]

<3<3

[thomasloftis]

I like her music nabacar.com

[pussicat63]

Hello I love your video ^ ^

[MsBellaswan01]

fucking little horndogs.do something with your lives

[ModernLifeIsTrashy]

I got a boner while watching this video

[iriewaregl]

Great cover of a Buddy Holly classic ... and well, I am sure Buddy would be honored she did this re-make 50 plus years later ... in fact, I know he would ...

[budsterman5]

I'd rather hear Buddy's 53 year old recording. No offense but I mean come on really, 53 years to try to become better than the Legendary Buddy Holly and all you keep doing is becoming further and further away from what's really behind songs like these which, if you can believe, are really rock & roll songs turned into soul which until now I thought was impossible. Little Richard turned soul into rock & roll not the other way around.

[AleMayaOM]

shes so beautiful

[FilmPA86]

She's got quite a tan on her face..

[aj56thstreet]

I wanna eat her face.....In a good way.

[alynmiller1]

I think she sings beautifully. She sings completely from her heart and soul, and whatever she's feeling is what it sounds like. Don't judge so much, she's not trying to be anyone.

[christinavelia]

she sings in pitch, she sings with soul. 

[Mossum90]

Lady get off the stage!!!!!....you aint got nothing on buddy holly and the crikets!!!!!!

[masseysmash]

saw her a couple years back, she opened for the flaming lips and gnarls Barkley, then she wasn't so good, but she has gotten way better.

[zwgrad09]

She's an amazing vocalist, but her face twists weirdly when she sings lol

[Maarttttt]

I was actually hoping SHE would come to ME.

[PaperFace91]

Danelectro!!!



[MsJoanie18]

i love her deep voice!

[bellycha]

she looks like rashida jones!

[leatherandtactel]

a bit overrated maybe

[getoffwelfare]

@leatherandtactel how in the world is this overrated?

[heatseekingpleasure]

i want to marry her and make kittens with her

[magnostic]

@heatseekingpleasure Actually dude, um u'll be making tractors/engines cause the band is named after Caterpillar, Inc. Sorry for being a party pooper.

[ammiles43]

she is brilliant

[JamaicanGingerCake]

She looks like jack dee's daughter in lead balloon... (viceversa). She could sing me to sleep whilst I tickle my willy any day.

[MsSlayer1111]

que mierda!!! me kga q sacan canciones bn poadres y las haacen ver una mierda mejor tragunse su mierda y evitence ridiculos por querer quedar bn pinche vieja pendeja

[faeriemoonlight95]

@MsSlayer1111

La unica rason que nadien te a dicho nada es porque no todos hablan espanol.

Si no te gusta como canta la cancion, no la escuches. No es necesario ser un puto grosero. 

[tazzz001]

she looks nice.

[lollypop677]

She's so beautiful and has such a fantastic voice... If only I could be like you Cat... If only...

[pinchold]

an unlikely Buddy Holly fan

[bkolmsted]

@ ve3kiu. ...might?!?!?

[thebroisland]

thumbs up if you like the buddy holly version better

[dreagin]

Unfortunately this about the quality of playing and singing you would hear at an Open Mic in your local neighborhood.

[CLOUDGIRL40]

@dreagin So? She sounds good either way. Shouldn't matter. :)

[slowdavequick]

This is dripping with beauty. There might still be real artists out there after all. Youtube is saving music...

[79barkingspider]

I came here from Joanna Newsome. Very different singers, but unencumbered by the need to be conventional and damn good.

[LanaSparrow1]

i was crying and hoping that you one day will come back... but you didn't. i'ts sad but live goes on!

[mkennedynz]

Chan Marshall rocks the fringe!

[moscowcharlie1]

This must be an acquired taste>

[parazitinis]

She's perfect but i've heard Sinead O'Connor before...

[CrAzYRiCaN1]

I think this is terrible

[cecilcello]

@CrAzYRiCaN1 Of course, idiots don't like real music.

[TheJulianaps]

@cecilcello Well said : )

[ModernLifeIsTrashy]

@cecilcello I think I like this cover... I think. Does this mean I'm not an idiot??

[charlyW34]

Man o man, Buddy Holly, who was a music fan above all, would have loved this. Not just because it's great, but because Cat is a real artist, with real originality and talent. 5 stars. Cheers

[krazajenny]

I love her voice and her hair.

[JamaicanGingerCake]

@ve3kiu Hahaha you sexist bastard!! ;)

[scribbled309]

@ve3kiu Yes, she's a babe. But give her credit for her talent & soul, first and foremost.

[kris10bridgettelol]

@ve3kiu

true that she's attractive, but saying that is totally disrespectful to her as a talented woman.....her looks have nothing to do with her amazing music......it would sound just as good on the radio, or with a bag over her head.....

[ve3kiu]

@kris10bridgettelol

Okay, naked except for a bag over her head. Good thinking!

[kris10bridgettelol]

@ve3kiu you're an ignorant douchebag. :)

[ve3kiu]

way to butcher a great tune. RIP Buddy.

[pinchold]

a little bit more hi-cupping and you're almost there

[clonjago]

rica

[AlfreVtec]

Preciosa, vaya voz, es como si me acariciaran la nuca con cariño

[youngbean007]

did you steal this video from Rolling Stone? I think so yes

[PeaceFlag420]

She'd do some sweet Bob Dylan.

[TheKickasskatie]

u guys r asshole for real!

[00woolley]

So Emma Stone and Uma Thurman are related? And they have a sister? Uncanny.

[AnaGymnast94]

she sounded good singing sea of love

but right here it sounds/looks like she's trying SO HARD to make her voice sound like that. yuck. sorry buddy holly for her ruining your song :/

[tittyj2020]

This is one of the worst live performances I have ever seen. Give it up you talentless cunt

[PeaceFlag420]

@tittyj2020 Wow, obviously you wouldn't know talent if it crawled up your ass & fucked you...

[tittyj2020]

@PeaceFlag420 I beg to differ...Your sister sucked my cock real good the other night.....that bitch got some talent

[PeaceFlag420]

@tittyj2020 Uhm, okay? That's mature.

[iimarinero]

u're so depressing man ... I hate you haha

[animalsROCKhard28]

if her and julian smith collabed, i would be okay with dying.

[ThePeanut11]

uh!!!!i wanted to see a cat!!!!

[yorick8080]

is this for real?

this is fucking dogshit!!

[PeaceFlag420]

@yorick8080 Are you fucking serious? She's an AMAZING artist. You're fucking dumb.

[GEEkRoBot08]

@yorick8080 Go Back to Listening to your Bullshit Music Motherfucker. Fuck Off Cat Power.

[bluebeag]

Not knowing the BH version (yeah yeah) I think her voice is great. Is she related to Ray LaMontagne...sounds like a female version.

[elliesbestpal]

es una chica con un estilo genial

[Bzzzthbt]

what a horrible cover....Buddy must be spinning in his grave >.<

[Errtime23]

holy crap..

[CaptainStridum]

i can't stop staring at that guitar.

[TrapDaddy65]

@CaptainStridum Agreed! Great guitar. I want it. (I also hope it was horrendously out of tune because it didn't have time to adjust to the heat of the studio lights!)

[sonet195066]

Buddy Holly must be turning in his grave! Crap.

[raedwulfone]

Live from an opium den

[buskerbuoy]

With a few guitar lessons she might actually sound not too bad

[Afewcoloredpencils]

What kind of guitar is that? I like it.

[GabKesen]

I totally love her....

[lonbozarth]

Message to Cat from Buddy H............leave my songs alone or I'll crawl out of the grave and rip your vocal chords out.

[elcrisant]

asshole¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[dombinii]

jaja is spanglish :d

[mantulan]

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

[dickieshitts]

god, this is awful

[Stiletos]

Buddy Holly just rolled over in his grave and went "WTF!!!"

[foreverinmusic]

is she wearing an engagement ring?

[adyyoungmusic]

Horrible rendition

[spaceorbison]

ok

[FreedomForever2010]

First song I've ever heard by her and I must say after slaughtering one of my favorite oldies songs I will not be in a hurry to find any of her other stuff.

[immortalass]

awesome

[Einfarhtfreihalten]

She ruin the song very much,

[luminorguy]

The world to Chan.... pssst.... WE LOVE YOU!

[sardelleleim]

after the war, we need to communicate. i am crying, waiting and hoping everyday. give me a sign, sweetie. i will always love you, your honey heart. your hard shell.

[AnushuaSerenades]

hauntingly beautiful voice this one!! (in awe :))

[dentpopcan]

how is this a original? isnt this buddy hollys song?

[VincentTruman]

@dentpopcan

Y'know, playing the video itself would be a very fast way to realize that, no, it's not Buddy Holly's tune!

[adyyoungmusic]

@VincentTruman

Actually, it is a Buddy Holly song!..

[dengamlepaberget]

I pity you all who can not see the greatness of this song and Cat Power. It must be sad not to reckon a good song when you hear one!

[MsJesusgod]

@dengamlepaberget i agree with you especially cause you said reckon and here in kansas nobody says that

[chrischrissiecrystal]

she looks so pretty smiling at the end.

[TurboFan11]

She's got a great voice. Beautiful song and a beautiful girl. Wonder how long she was in Atlanta before she moved. She was born there.

[JanMarie1007]

love it!

[kiwa007]

Cat Power is awesome, but this just didn't work. I still love you anyway kittie!

[neb715]

I'm crying waiting and hoping you never sing this song again. Way to screw up a classic

[dentpopcan]

@neb715 BAHAHA, pretty funny man, haha

[doubleg235]

Female version of Ray Lamantagne ? Love her voice, and her lyrics are real.

[henrix1989]

somehow i can listen to her music all day long without getting sick of it...

[BigSwellMedia]

Anyone know what kind of guitar she's playing?

[DementedSock]

@BigSwellMedia f hole :)

[donkeyhoti]

@BigSwellMedia Custom Silvertone

[MrsCleaversBeaver]

Perfectly imperfect. So many artists today have impressive voices with no soul.

[ghostswerepeopletoo]

she's got a lovely voice, but this isn't working for her at all. lol. <3 buddy

[wombgrinder]

not so great.

[Ur0n]

God, what a sexy voice s: i love how she sings <3

[gregoriodavila]

she stayed at a hotel i used to work at in Seattle. she and (what i assumed was her boyfriend) were in the bar every day at opening at 10 am. lol total drunks! most amazing artists are it seems..

[MrRdub7162]

alot of soul in that voice

[stevinski85]

So cute ç.ç

[pochowpp]

Si veramente ...

[yogibear224]

buddy holly was better......

[toltec666]

@yogibear224 i guess. pink floyd was better too, whats the fucking point of your statement?

[yogibear224]

@toltec666 i personally think that buddy holly sung this song better than this person did.....

[TheseOpenRoads]

That guitar is such a beautiful piece of equipment.

[skatetopiadog]

haha thats a silver beatles song 

[sallygal7]

I Love Cat Power. But she desecrates this song. Why doesn't she just sing the beautiful melody that Buddy Holly wrote? Does she think that whatever melody she can make up on-the-spot is better than the original? Maybe she does -maybe it is, sometimes. But not here. Buddy Holly's melodies are hard to beat. My opinion only --no disrespect.

[SheffieldTiger]

@sallygal7 It's not about better. It's not about imitating. It's not Karaoke. It's an interpretation - it's not meant to be the same, better or worse.

[stellarchick03]

a song can be so simple but be so strong just like a performance so simple but so much impact so much emotion..

[Itsbeavis]

what a deep voice

[urthcreature]

gorgeous, thank you for posting it. she has such a totally unique style, as well as voice. her voice is so gentle, like a lullabye. She's amazing.

[e11i0tt5m1thfan]

She and elliott smith should have totally collabarated

[jmillo02]

@e11i0tt5m1thfan  too bad hes dead

[surfwaxafghani]

@e11i0tt5m1thfan i think elliot smith was more into melodic kind of tunes i don't know how good that combo might have been but who knows right?!

[alvarock68]

glorita.. miss you! i always will

[Lysistrata8u]

I hope my love comes back to me :(
