A Cat Power History in YouTube Pictures
There's a reason YouTube is so damn popular these days: it just never fails to deliver the most awe-inspiring videos. You click this one vid and then there's a next and a next and all of a sudden right in front of that screen you have seen someone's whole career, how they changed, how they used to be, when they were happy, when they were sad and just like that, hours of your life have passed too, and you have been feeling bad for her and you've been smiling and dancing along. Boy, these videos are some true miracle workers, but the true goddess has off course been this once-shy fragile girl with the most amazing voice who has made the most beautiful music over the years and has now become some really happy pill doing the most lovely moves. So ladies and gents, take your time, sit down in that chair, face that screen and sing and jump along, here are some Chan Marshall aka Cat Power videos:
1996 - one of the best and most intense Nude as the News versions ever, Live on French TV from the What Would The Community Think? album

2006 - Performing on the Jools Holland show from the new The Greatest album: I Don't Blame You, Lived in Bars and The Greatest. I find the music a little less but it has grown on me and I don't think she's ever looked any sexier.
