This is a great example that the right lyrics, and melody can make all the difference in a song. This was a perfect cover for Katy to do; it allowed her vocal ability to shine brightly. This was amazing!
Dominick Kasza You should watch the youtube channel Saara on her video, house tour (I'm extremely rich), she sings a part of this song and it sounds like heaven.😇😍😢👌👍👏
This is one of the best downsized versions of anything I've heard from Katy. I love how she enjoys singing this, not as if she'd surprised me, she just never disappoints! 🌻
I honestly like this version better than the one Adele did, she put her own spin on it. Sounds like shes having fun with it too. I prefer my covers to have a little original spin to it rather than just being a contest of who can sound the most like the original.
I have the feeling her voice back then was way more powerful and she didn't feel under pressure showing off her beautiful voice. She slayed some latest performances though. I loved her performance of Dark Horse at Harpars Bazar 2015.
I'm in love with Katy Perry's natural voice! When she sings alone, only with her guitar, then it's wonderful ! She should sing more often songs like this, and then everybody would know that she has the best voice ever. :) ♥
i love this cover she sings it so beautifully...! i love Katy...! her voice is like no other..! i thank Katy for all her hard work and devotion..! her passion for music shows when she sings..!
Katy's news on her new album coming most likely in 2016 is that she plans to "reinvent herself". Hopefully she will move on to this kind of music that she was CLEARLY MEANT to sing. She is absolutely amazing in the acoustic and this sorta soft jazzy pop genres. Don't get me wrong,I LOVE pop Katy, but this is the kind of music that will really shut all the haters up bc bae can SING. End of story. #queen
I agree that Katy definitely sounds really amazing in this type of music but I don't know if it's the genre she's meant to be in. We haven't really seen a whole lot of Katy in this style aside from when the whole I kissed a girl thing happened and she sang in a lower register than she does now. I'm a katycat and just ughh. I don't know I just really hope whatever happens happens 😁😁
@rafik germany I think it's coming in May. We won't get the singer/songwriter Katy, but definitely a more mature Katy. Witness is a song that will stand out.
OMG you know it already! I was feeling the same, Legendary Lovers 2.0! I was so obsessed with Legendary Lovers, I still am. And Witness is just stunning..I loved Katy for her One Of The Boys album and wasn't a big fan of Teenage Dream (instead of a few songs), but with Witness..god it's so so good. Legendary Lovers mixed with I'm Still Breathing in a modern way.
I love listening to everything. I love jazz, classical, hip-hop, R&B, rock, techno and oldies music (like 70s-80s), I also like some operas too...I like old school rap too. 90s pop I am okay with like Christina Aguilera, N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, 3LW...but nowadays not as much. Some of my fave singers/bands are Aretha Franklin, Kelly Clarkson, Anna Nalick, Evanescence, The Pretty Reckless, Sade, Alicia Keys, Switchfoot....I'm all over the place..I don't have one specific person or genre I like.
the people say she can't sing. she is amazinggggg, have a acid voice differente to they womans. yeah, she sings bad firework live. but acoustic musics and jazz, she killed it (in a good sentid) great Job Katy !
To day is the 4th of march 2015. I wish to to preserve this day, for on this day, Katy with her beautiful voice helped me deal with some of the most emotional turmoil I´ve gone through in a long time.
Cute, but where is the soul. She doesn't even use her pipes in this one. Problem with covers, won't hold a candle to the original unless you're talented..
That's what i was going to say. This is black and gold with all the soul sucked out of it. And interesting interpretation, her vocal is good, but no soul.
Katy, Hey, what's going on? Not much here! Just passing the time at the cafe. How was your day? Mine, was ok alittle slow nothing much to talk about really. I'll tell ya that Israeli election was tight! Your probably not into politics being a giant rock star. Maybe, though! You are pretty smart and witty. I've seen your interviews very charming and handsome for a tall girl! Anyway, just stopping by to say hello and tell ya someone's thinking of you. Hope you had a nice day. Have a lovely evening! Sweetdreams. Sleep well. Goodnight... Love, A Secret Admirer
This is the first time I've heard her sing at a professional level. Her songs are catchy, and granted, hard to sing, but until now, I've never heard her really sing.
@Recovrd1 Ummm, of course I would say this is an amazing version! (My favorite, actually). I've heard probably every version of this song, and hers, to me, is the best. She makes it her own just as much as Ellie, vocally, without adding ridiculous music to make it sound more original. It isn't at all ike Sam Sparrows; her arrangement has more climbs in it than falls, such as the first couple of lines. Her version was even more jazzy and unique than Adele's!! Definantly the BEST version...
it annoys me that people believe she has no talent. honestly she is one of the most talented people out there. You really need to so some research on her she is incredible as a human and an artist she will eventually prove to everyone her talent including you folks. And if u r saying she can't sing... did u listen to the same thing i just did? AMAZING! I saw her in concert and i was in awe of how good she sounded! I PREFER her live and adore her with everything in me
Before I heard this I thought she was completely autotuned, that was back in 09 when I was 19 it kinda grew me up to make up my own mind about songs but shh blew me away & the lyrics to this song will forever be one of my top love songs, could you imagine having someone sing this about you
her voice is so awesome . I am her big fan . . I know she doesnt sing still so good .. but she is ne of the best songer and for me the best singer .. I love the way she sing ..
i actually always thought that she's not good at live performances. but this one is really great! she should sing more songs that really fit to her voice.
@iloveinu2death fine. but just to say, she can sing very well, it's more about sometimes writing songs that don't suit her voice (there are great performances of all her songs, many are stronger than studio versions, but her voice is either hit or miss with some songs), but performances like this are pretty much always on point because it's what suits her voice, she has great ability, and she always sounds great and consistent when you're in concert with her. And that's when it comes to personal
@adaezetula agree - she was good here. No need for condeming her actually. 50 listenings of Sam Sparrow version in a row - and then -a break with that of Katy Perry:)
This is a great example that the right lyrics, and melody can make all the difference in a song. This was a perfect cover for Katy to do; it allowed her vocal ability to shine brightly. This was amazing!
out of all the cover i like hers the best. ellie goulding, adele, and others just dont do it for me like sam sparro and katy perry
Dominick Kasza You should watch the youtube channel Saara on her video, house tour (I'm extremely rich), she sings a part of this song and it sounds like heaven.😇😍😢👌👍👏

The emotion carried by her voice is absolutely mesmerizing. I love you Katy
This is one of the best downsized versions of anything I've heard from Katy. I love how she enjoys singing this, not as if she'd surprised me, she just never disappoints! 🌻

Adele’s is shocking.
Adele can’t sing she just screams and shouts
Try brenna Whittaker for this song. Think she hits it out of the park
She smashed it. 2020 still rocking this
I have the feeling her voice back then was way more powerful and she didn't feel under pressure showing off her beautiful voice. She slayed some latest performances though. I loved her performance of Dark Horse at Harpars Bazar 2015.
She is so talented,I loved the cover..
Katy's voice is so sweet-sounding and pleasing to the ear❤
i love her amazing voice😍
is so cute and sweet but is perfect for katy😍😍😍
I dont remember how I came across this cover, but it's my fav thing from Katy Perry up until today.
I'm in love with Katy Perry's natural voice! When she sings alone, only with her guitar, then it's wonderful ! She should sing more often songs like this, and then everybody would know that she has the best voice ever. :) ♥
One of the best songs ever written and she did an exceptional cover
I still prefer the original, but I have to say I like this version.
i personally think she did a great job
The case of the disappearing coat
Yeah man whats that?
Can u please check my cover of this song?
Can u please check my cover of this song?

Agostina Gianfrancesco siii la queen
2021 and I still LOVE this performance!!! She killed it!!!
i always thought she was terrible but she actually sounds so good here!
ikr, same here
Cersei Lannister I know what you mean I don't rate Katy as an incredible vocalist but I can cope with her voice here
Cersei Lannister SHAME!
U can cope? lol i wish i can show you all of her outstanding performances... maybe start with brick by brick?
Can u please check my cover of this song?
😯 i did not know about this... omgggg go girl. This the first tune i heard as a kid. Stuck with me ever since
OMG HER VOCALS 😍😍😍😍
How I wish she had more songs like this that carried this same sound and style.
Best song I've ever heard her sing.
Found this video in 2010. Stuck with me over time. Haven’t played it in years. Today it comes back.
so talented ♥
yesss TOP ♥
Marlena Sturtzen haaaay v!

+Angry William Nice vocabulary, dumb ass.
Today's best Female singer far away, Great voice, talent, cool style and pure beauty, Love you Katy anything you do!!!
I didn't realize that Katy Perry could sing Legitimate music, this gives me a whole new respect for her
She is beautiful, I love her voice!

Xe Are In 2017 And We Didnt Get It Yet
@rafik germany I think it's coming in May. We won't get the singer/songwriter Katy, but definitely a more mature Katy. Witness is a song that will stand out.
WITNESS wil Be My Song oF 2017 And Its Legendary Lovers 2.0
OMG you know it already! I was feeling the same, Legendary Lovers 2.0! I was so obsessed with Legendary Lovers, I still am.

Wow, she actually has a great voice! With her pop songs I couldn't really tell!
How have I not found this sooner?!
The kid's got some talent.
Who are you calling kid?
Probably the singer.
Whats with her coat though? It goes on and off all of a sudden and the singing is still going on... music is still on point... whats happening?
Gravity ?
I'm serious here!
wow, her voice is always going to be this beautiful
This is the Katy I like. Pure Katy. No autotune or voice embellishments. Just Katy and the mic.
Make sure you give love to Sam Sparro for doing this song to begin with, And his version is a fantastic song as well....Enjoy and share good music
She's... incredible
she is a really careful and lyrically beautiful singer
She really does have an amazing voice, even live, unlike other singers I could mention....
shes soo effing AMAZING
I see why everyone loves katey perry. I fall in love with her vocals here.
You go girl! Loved it!
Congrats on your upcoming wedding~

@DeliriousCreations one of the few songs in the charts with clever, thought provoking lyrics
Industry chewed this young lady right up, cause this is fucking amazing. Where did this Katy Perry run off too.
Why Katy.....WHY?????
Because she can.
Klaus Geltl BECAUSE SHE SUCKSSS
@@angelinaperez4600 do it better? Oh wait u cant cause she is the best 👌👌
way to go katy...gosh...she's reallllyyy good...i love her voice..love ya KATY..
Cute, but where is the soul. She doesn't even use her pipes in this one. Problem with covers, won't hold a candle to the original unless you're talented..
That's what i was going to say. This is black and gold with all the soul sucked out of it. And interesting interpretation, her vocal is good, but no soul.
She's FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! *_*
Great version featuring the great voice of beautiful person. Great work.

U know that she probably won’t see this or reply
@Alyosha lol ikr
this cover is great. love her voice!
This is the first time I've heard her sing at a professional level. Her songs are catchy, and granted, hard to sing, but until now, I've never heard her really sing.
The original is more classy and punchy 🤷🏻♂️
i luv thiz sound wit her voice
@Recovrd1 Ummm, of course I would say this is an amazing version! (My favorite, actually). I've heard probably every version of this song, and hers, to me, is the best.

I agree! And I'm a huge fan of hers.:)
She's amazing! She should be doing more of this kind of music.
So amazing!! Ellie should be proud!
Relax kids, no fighting....there's room in the world for more than one good artist. Just shut up and enjoy the music.
2023 wow she gave me goosebumps first time hearing this
Her singing is so good here!
Love that her headphones are black and gold :3
Yes brilliant! she is a great singer!
This is the Katy that caught my attention back in 2008!
Katy Perry has a beautiful voice, its sad that she never portrays it in her music.
She killed it
i actually always thought that she's not good at live performances.
but this one is really great! she should sing more songs that really fit to her voice.
her voice is awesome in this song!
She is amazingggggg.
this is my fav. song right now
WHAT?? SO GREAT ...
is it bad that I keep comin back here everyday to listen to her?
Love this. Always wanted to cover this myself.
HOLY CRAP THATS AMAZING !!!!!!!
This video and MTV unplugged proof that Katy Perry is an amazing singer
@iloveinu2death fine. but just to say, she can sing very well, it's more about sometimes writing songs that don't suit her voice (there are great performances of all her songs, many are stronger than studio versions, but her voice is either hit or miss with some songs), but performances like this are pretty much always on point because it's what suits her voice, she has great ability, and she always sounds great and consistent when you're in concert with her.

You know a songs good when Katy Perry and Adele both cover it!
Amazing!
@Vh4592 there is an mp3, go to iTunes and search "Black and Gold" the album is called Sweetheart.
one word;wow
i love this version
