Trying to make a tribute to a song you like by an artist you like is one thing, but know your limitations. She simply isn't good enough to make this work.
I don't hate scarlett Johansson but I really do think that there is no heart or pure emotion in this version...Tom is wringing out his soul for his audience and she is just speaking through a vocoder!
You are CLEARLY not an artist of ANY kind if you dont understand what she may be "ruining" by trying to make a beautiful thing she didnt create - HERS...I am ripping on her - and YOUR ripping on ME. If I am fucking retarded - THEN YOUR FAR WORSE. Because your a fucking hypocrite with way too much time on your hands. Posting a comment with your opinion is ONE thing. Taking the time to message complete strangers is really REALLY pathetic. GET A FUCKING LIFE YOU LOOSER!
o.m.gosh this is soooooooooooooo horrible other ppl like carly smithson should be getting record deals ,OH MAN!! scarlett is a great actress ,honey stop crying cuz' i can't call that singin i'm so sorry, have a little pride and STOP DOING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is everybody slating Scarlett's singing in reference to this video. It's not her... but I agree this is awful. I quite like Scarlett's version tho. Off to check out the original now
This version isn't bad, but how much work has been done to her voice? Cause no one sounds remotely like that live. Case in point, Scarlett singing this song live. It is god awful. I tend to judge singers on how they sound live, so by that standard, Scarlett is no singer. Not a great, or even good, one anyway.

Can someone please shoot these deluded wanna-be actors and actresses who listen to a few songs and suddenly think that they've developed musical abilities? And while you're at it, please murder the record producers who indulge these Hollywood idiots by giving them the money, studio time, and technology to transforms their naturally flat and emotionless voices into the barely listenable ones that make it to the final recordings. Thank you...
How about somebody murders you for wanting to murder people for dumb-ass reasons? How about somebody rapes you for being a vile piece of crap? How's about that?
So what if Waits likes her covers of his work? Tom Waits could jerk off to Johansson's covers of his songs, and that wouldn't make those covers any less dreadful.
I actually like this cover. It's very trippy. Interesting. I haven't heard the original by Tom Waits, and i'm sure it's better, but this ones pretty good.
i'm really sorry but i don't have an instrumental track. i wish i did! i may have been able to produce a version that was a little less off-key and out of time! :)
A Tom Waits song is a Tom Waits song. To me, buying an album of Scarlett Johansson singing Tom Waits songs is like going to an art gallery to see Scarlett Johansson painting some Monets. I understand she's a big fan... hey if you were in her shoes; beautiful famous girl with clout and a gorgeous voice, you'd probably want to make a tribute to your favorite artist too. But this just doesn't work for me.
Here's the thing that really gets me... Tom Waits is an artist in a way that a lot of musicians aren't and can't ever be. They're not just about the songs. So much of the wonderful glorious miracle of his work, to me, is the voice, the attitude, the instrumentation, the emotion, the WAY he does it. He squeezes out the image of a gutless coward or ruthless scumbag or heartbroken sailor through his PERFORMANCE, not just the song lyrics or the tune.
William Shatner! Oh how you flatter me. How could you have known that my singular purpose was to emulate the seductive singing style of this great crooner? I'm a very private person, so it must have taken a great deal of research to find out about my love for Mr Shatner. A commendable effort.
I must confess to being a little perplexed about the portion of your comment that reads 'at last (sic) he didn't rape a GOD!'. Surely you don't think that a song I recorded on garageband in a half-hour study break would offend the great Tom Waits? You give me too much credit.
I'm so grateful. I never expected that my little video would garner such a glowing review! I'm pleased it has had such a profound impact on you.
Yes, yes! a most amazing voice hath you, it is one which harks of periwinkle blue, vogels toast on her breath but with this sweet rendition she destroys scarlett and that other hillbilly competition.
POST MORE. You have an amazing voice. and your glasses are cool too
Bravo Hanna, bravo Hanna! This artist has bewildered me my entire life. Her soothing voice and her opulent looks and her hilarious sense of humor make up this amazing girl! Many people judge her by her address (K'Road) but the real Hanna is behind the checkered shirts and peanut butter vogel eating mouth which behind it is a voice of gold. Hanna is the next big thing. Watch this space...
why the fuck does she sound like this?for fucks sake pick a fuckin career and/or art form.what's next sculpting?poetry?photography?

SHE REALLY SUCKS! I can't beleive people sugarcoat this crap.
And most likely when Tom Waits said this was a good cover one of the following happened:
a. He was on drugs
b. He got some money
c. He was thinking about her boobs
d. All of the above

This isnt her version, and whats with the images?
I praise the girl for doing a cover version and at least acknowledging the original artist at any given opportunity.
This project isnt about her voice, its her giving respect and praise to someone she appreciated.
She doesnt need people to buy the album, shes stinkin rich...this was just a hobby to her.
I, however, did buy the album and thought it was fantastic.
As for Tom Waits...great song writer...debatable singing.

Singing like Shatner in general means 'not singing at all', it's more like speaking to music.
OK, Shatner raped Pulp/Jarvis Cocker and Joe Jackson helped him:
