Cat Power - Yesterday Is Here

Tommy does it better, but I love chan... very indie and lovely

Tom And Chan doing a duet would be cool.
i gotta go with Toms version.
i loved Chan when i had to listen to her learning how to play on the other side of the wall a zillion years ago

Hm,

the song 'lives' by Tom's remarkable accentuated voice. He uses his voice not only for singing but also to show 'details' of the sung text.
The version of the two girls are carried by the music, their voices are 'singing the text'.
Cat power tries to do it in her own , Scarlett in a more 'fabric softener' way...
Therefore, you can't compare this version with Tom's.
And what the listener would like more is a matter of taste.

She's so fortunate. Got the looks of a model and the attitude of a rock star. Did I mention that she's talented.

now there's a comment i can agree with!

I second that!

i thought scarletts cover was good at first, i thought she was an interesting choice for the vocal in that arrangement bc her voice was a little raw and organic sounding...but chans is also raw and organic in both the vocals and emotions. after hearing this u notice that scarletts is just a little lackluster cos she maybe doesn't understand what she's singing? actors u know :/

pretty shit version of a brilliant song (and I say that as a Cat Power fan)

What's so terrible about enjoying all of the versions for their respective strengths. I grow so weary of these stupid postings about who's better. It's not that I'm opposed to thinking critically about what I'm listening to. I just don't get why people have to shit all over everything all the time.
