She's like a cross between a femme fatale and the type of sexual power and liberation that Mae West had in to her later life. Shed have made a wonderful villain in a really big budget film.
@@thegreenmanofnorwich watch harriet the spy and the emperors new groove... tho i agree it would have been cool to see her as a serious blockbuster villain 😜😜😜
No colored spotlights.no fireworks. Just her with the microphone with the orchestra and her unique musical compositions and interpretations, the glamour excellently orchestrated creating a masterpiece of performance that is an all-time classic though she is already in the after life. RIP ,Eartha Kitt.
Electrifying, charismatic and simply wonderful. Just pay attention to every little detail she puts in the music.....only a first class performer could deliver that. I salute and forever missing you....
Isn't it amazing that she performs with as much charisma as she did when she first did the song? She doesn't seem bored of it or like she's going through the motions at all, and I just love the song.
Awesome...just heard this for the first time today on a Netflix show I'm catching up on..had to pause and come here to see and hear the real deal. Bloody Wicked Great! I Love it! Hahahahahahahah...love her laugh and very unique voice. I've got to watch every video there is of her singing this now.....
I'm in awe by her talent! I'm not sure how old she was in that video, but she was more animated and had more soul and grit in her voice than pretty much every singer nowadays! I solute Miss Kitt!
I love her voice. Having said that, I find I much prefer the original televised rendition of this song. She's excellent here, have no doubt about that. But in the original rendition, excellent isn't the word. I'm not sure we have a word for that level of performance; saying it is superlative is like saying a tornado is a fairly strong wind. I know some will think I'm crazy, (I think so myself at times), but in my opinion, compared to the original black and white televised rendition, this is a pale second.
I get where you're coming from. The 3 or 4 decades between performances, and working hard in between, didn't seem to have dulled her talent all that much, though
Who else has covered this? I can't imagine any other way to sing this. I can't imagine anyone else able to sing it this way. Leaves other artists with a lack of options, doesn't it?
green tweeds jackets were never the same and in the bay we heard strawberry thunder roll down the canyon and into our hearts the will to never quit, promise me son that you will quit, and live we went into the streaming night from windy city the night we lost the nation but we need a park permit....
Something those kids on all those tv shows "such and such has Talent" will NEVER be able to duplicate convincingly. You gotta pay your dues to be great, and Eartha was.
. Your recognition/valadation will come,. You are ahead of the times and you are in every sense of the word an "original" . You are and always have been a gleaming spectacle. True artists are never really seen till decades after there deaths but that's a lot more than most people have.
A genuine one-off! . Her voice- which I love spoken and singing!- sounds like an auto-tune gone awol. I like to think of Eartha Kitt as one of those rare genes in nature that strayed, or nature couldnt handle, or was some kind of wonderful mistake of nature, because there was no one like her before and will never be like her again in her voice, manner, look, movement, charisma- the lot!
I'm watching Eartha Kitt's videos because my favorite Jazz Singer is releasing a new album devoted to Eartha Kitt songs. Sounds like it's going to be a fun project.
@sandform Nop that is another movie. Kinky Boots was about a guy who inherit a male shoe factory, and facing bankrupt decide to merchandise unique shoes made only for male transvestites. Lola is the drag queen who "inspire" the whole new line saving the day, and the factory as well.
From 1:29 when she changes to evil her grimaces remind me of Klaus Kinskis "Nosferatu". She would have made a great Lady Macbeth and Cleopatra. Strange and beautiful, no wonder Orson Welles described her as the most exciting woman in the world.
OMG, I hear this song in Kinky Boots, singed by "Lola", and its pretty wicked!! LOL I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad But more than that, I wanna be bad Love it!! o.O
@MoonPhantom; If you'd pay attention you'd know that someone already answered the goddamn question. And after @Thornycroft1937 answered my question, I searched it up and it said, "Yzma is Kuzco's advisor and the main antagonist of the series. In the English version, she was voiced by Eartha Kitt since her first appearance until Kitt's death on Christmas 2008." The show stopped airing November 20, 2008. So that means it was always Eartha Kitt portaging Yzma. So you are wrong. Thanks anyway.
@MariaaMarieeMofo Yeah.. that would be because she voiced the original Yzma in the movie. "Emperors new groove." and the person voicing the Yzma in the show tries to sound like her.
i think there's a little correction that needs doing. Prim and proper, the girl who's never been *kissed* not chased never mind i was wrong in both counts
What a awesome/unique individual! She was defiently one of a kind! I still think that they should've have let someone else besides Beyoncè play her in Cadillac records. I really love Bey!! But i just don't think acting is something she's great at.
No one has ever been so evil and yet so damn classy.
She's like a cross between a femme fatale and the type of sexual power and liberation that Mae West had in to her later life. Shed have made a wonderful villain in a really big budget film.
Mmmm... Angelica Huston? Glenn Close? I mean... don't get me wrong I LURVVV me some eartha!! But there have been others who did it well 0_o

YESSS⁉️
I'm pretty sure this is why she was cast as yzma
and as catwoman before.. good lord that purr
Anyone else think Eartha Kitt's voice just got better with age?
the good things usually do.
Oh yeah baby...
ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY!!!!
🤪😳☺️🤪😳☺️🤪
The ways she emoted with her voice is immaculate. I'll always adore this queen
If she did this song in the emperor's new groove, THAT wouldve been awesome. She IS Yzma! I love her so much.
I wish eartha was still alive :( I love her voice
No colored spotlights.no fireworks. Just her with the microphone with the orchestra and her unique musical compositions and interpretations, the glamour excellently orchestrated creating a masterpiece of performance that is an all-time classic though she is already in the after life.
RIP ,Eartha Kitt.
I just love this woman's unique voice and this particular song. I had my sister listen to her today and finally,she agrees with me on something.
Electrifying, charismatic and simply wonderful. Just pay attention to every little detail she puts in the music.....only a first class performer could deliver that. I salute and forever missing you....
She always played to a full house. Not many can claim that distinction.
Isn't it amazing that she performs with as much charisma as she did when she first did the song? She doesn't seem bored of it or like she's going through the motions at all, and I just love the song.
Looks like she got her wish before she died with Yzma. Love this woman for everything she does!
trixiefae she got even before in the 60's with catwoman
what a brilliant woman! thank you for the upload.
THE VOICE HAS BEEN MISSED - RIP EARTHA KITT

I'm totally picturing Yzma right now...
I want to be Eartha,
I want to sing songs.
I want to be evil
And snap someone like a Kitt Kat
This woman is just so unique so uncomparable there will be no one ever like here anymore.

unique...wonderful....and able to spot bull***t at a hubdred paces, she was fantastic.
thank you !!! for posting. I cant get enough of her. She simply MASTERs this piece...it's hers.
I miss this lady she was special
Who else has covered this? I can't imagine any other way to sing this. I can't imagine anyone else able to sing it this way. Leaves other artists with a lack of options, doesn't it?
THAT.FINAL.LAUGH. I AM DEEPLY FANGIRLING.
What a "Unique" and fabulous woman she was.. Thanks for Vid's guys...
😁🥰😁🥰😁🥰😁🥰😁 Oh how I love me some Eartha Kitt! 😍😍
That was DELIGHTFUL! ♥️
GENIOUS CATWOMAN SEXY THIS WOMAN DID A LOT AND HAD AN AMAZING LIFE.
She sings like how cats behave when you give them a tummy rub.
I miss her.
Eartha Kitt, you will be forever missed.
green tweeds jackets were never the same and in the bay we heard strawberry thunder roll down the canyon and into our hearts the will to never quit, promise me son that you will quit, and live we went into the streaming night from windy city the night we lost the nation but we need a park permit....
This song always cheers me up. Eartha was and still is such a goddess!
You are dead on. Our Eartha would have been magnificent as Lady Macbeth. She is totally magnificent.
She gives me the chills!!! :S
soooo gooood! :P
Something those kids on all those tv shows "such and such has Talent" will NEVER be able to duplicate convincingly. You gotta pay your dues to be great, and Eartha was.
My all-time favourite Eartha Kitt song--of many!
. Your recognition/valadation will come,. You are ahead of the times and you are in every sense of the word an "original" . You are and always have been a gleaming spectacle. True artists are never really seen till decades after there deaths but that's a lot more than most people have.

She is like cat :))
It´s imposible to take your eyes off of her!
I'm watching Eartha Kitt's videos because my favorite Jazz Singer is releasing a new album devoted to Eartha Kitt songs. Sounds like it's going to be a fun project.
Who’s your favorite jazz singer?
I love her sooooooooo much !
beautiful negodess you were always an angel
She played Catwoman? That makes the fact Yzma became a cat very funny!
Amazing..always loved the song but this is just...amazing
love this song..
She was Unique, and I , we will miss her a lot, super woman
Andres cubano-americano de NYC
I love Eartha Kitt!
Simplesmente unica!!! bela voz!!!

Yyyzmaaaa!! I love her! Pull the Lever!
The fantastic eternal feline femme fatale.... Eartha Kitt
Infectious laugh :-) . Love this soong.
All I can say is what a woman!
I miss her ;) aw
god i love this
No dislikes, for the win.
This song is tailored only for Eartha Kitt. I've heard other people sing it and it's doesn't rise to Earth's stamp.
From 1:29 when she changes to evil her grimaces remind me of Klaus Kinskis "Nosferatu". She would have made a great Lady Macbeth and Cleopatra. Strange and beautiful, no wonder Orson Welles described her as the most exciting woman in the world.
thanks for posting ~!
I love comparing the younger one with the older one...its like 30 years time machine at the touch of button
fucking brilliant
@LeshaAnn It's "throw mud pies." Check the version from Kaskad 1962.
She did actually play Catwoman in the series....
-Gasp- You know what! She sounds like Principal Amzy too!!
She was the voice of Yzma.
Wow!
OMG, I hear this song in Kinky Boots, singed by "Lola", and its pretty wicked!! LOL
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies
I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad
But more than that, I wanna be bad
Love it!! o.O
Goddess
She was a witch actually.how do you explain all that crowd being mesmerized
That makes sense.
@LeshaAnn Look at her gesture at 1:50...makes me think it is throw mud pies.
@MoonPhantom; If you'd pay attention you'd know that someone already answered the goddamn question. And after @Thornycroft1937 answered my question, I searched it up and it said, "Yzma is Kuzco's advisor and the main antagonist of the series.

So that means it was always Eartha Kitt portaging Yzma. So you are wrong. Thanks anyway.
I miss Eartha she show how woman can age and still be sexy .
Can't believe she was in "Emperor's New Groove"
@MariaaMarieeMofo Yeah.. that would be because she voiced the original Yzma in the movie. "Emperors new groove." and the person voicing the Yzma in the show tries to sound like her.
one and only catwoman.
this is favorite song of the british queen.she is evil too :-)
This is Cathy's theme song. (Cathy from East of Eden)
actually she was Ezma :)
Maybe beks once in a while 😂
Pure evil)
I always thought it was:
I wanna be mean/ and traumatize (not "throw mud pies."
... I kinda still do.
Yzma!!!
For some reason, she sounds like Ezma from that old show, "The Emperors New School."
i think there's a little correction that needs doing.
Prim and proper, the girl who's never been *kissed* not chased
never mind i was wrong in both counts
Why is no one liken or dis liken any of the comments or the video?
That would be because she was Yzma's voice actress.
@Animalkisser a cigar
Oops sorry. That was Etta James. Idk why but I always get the two confused
расскажите ....
for the lyrics I think it's "like some of that three 6 level, I wanna go to the devil"
"like something that seeks its level, i wanna go to the devil"
Nah I'm right you're wrong lol ;-)
She was married to Krusty the Klown.....divorced him after 6 hours.
"Dark, brown taste". What´s that????
Beacause she was Yzma
12 people preferred Nicole and Brynne Price
Yzma is that you???
What's Yzma?
What a awesome/unique individual! She was defiently one of a kind! I still think that they should've have let someone else besides Beyoncè play her in Cadillac records. I really love Bey!! But i just don't think acting is something she's great at.
