  • She has a nice voice but i'm still not sure if it's a SINGING voice.

  • Der Titel ist von Selena Gomez!!!!!

  • A nice alt delta blues sound with a syrupy billie Holiday type throaty voice

  • SHE LOOKS GREAT!!! She doesn't sing THAT bad!!! And she's singing TOM WAITS' SONGS!!! SO, FINE BY ME!!!

  • i actually really like her voice

  • I feel alone here, but I absolutely love her voice. It's unique.

  • wtf....

  • She's good.

  • If anyone wants to know what this song is supposed to sound like check out Holly Cole's version. That's who Scarlett was trying to imitate. It really is a great song by Tom Waits.

  • it's not that bad, but it's not that good either. Not a singer kind but just fine.

  • i think my voice is better than sj...hahaha... scarlette , forget about singing.. you're great actress..

  • 1:10 taylor swift?

  • I don't get why people are saying she can't sing.. She CAN sing, quite well. she can hold a note REALLY well, and I think anyone who CAN sing, and knows how to, would say the same. This may not be her BEST vocal, but she has talent in in her voice.

  • Why are people against actor's singing? Majority of these people are multi talented. Why should they limit themselves? She has an awesome voice. Get over yourselves people and open up to the concept.

  • @SunburntComposer Well this particular singer can't sing for shit - I would especially be upset if people like her try to compare herself to Freddie Mercury or Kurt Cobain.

  • @comradecommedy Well that hasn't been the case has it?

  • @SunburntComposer Is she talented? the obvious answer is absolutely not. She should go back to acting and never EVER sing again,

  • @SunburntComposer Is she talented? The obvious answer is NO - she should go back to acting and never sing again EVER. I

  • @comradecommedy Well I guess it is your opinion of what is talent? I think talent is someone who is good at making others love what they are doing. For Scarlett Johanson a lot of us love what she does - so then I'd say she's a very talented woman. If singing makes her happy and the majority of us happy then she should keep doing it.

  • I dont love it, but its not bad, its an aquired taste :)

  • MAMITA CHIQUITA DE PAPA MI REINA PRECIOSA!!!!!

  • FUCKING HELL THIS IS BULL SHIT! I am so over actresses trying to pull the wool over our eyes... you are not a singer Scarlett... you really can't sing and you have to be an idiot to say you can... stop stop stop before I cry.

  • @lizlizlizliz7 u mad bro?

  • 1:25 OMG!! ♥

  • Very great cover of a very great Tom Waits Song!

  • Some of the most moving and memorable performances I have ever heard (and I am a 43yr old music junky) have been from bars, clubs, and 1-shot performances by people I never saw or heard from again.

    MANY of those rivaled or were at least equal to any musical/vocal performance I ever heard performed by anyone who "made it" or was regularly on the radio, or became the "Next Musical HOT PROPERTY"...

    Scarlett, in every rendition of this cover I have heard yet falls into that category...100%

    Bravo

  • The pitch is altered.

  • @siriustoast2 hahahaha, today evey artist have a "pitch ajust"; even metallica doing since reload.

  • That milky white skin she has really enhances her look.

    She's plump in all the right places. You got to love that she hasnt let Hollywood turn her into a freaky beanpole, with dead eyes caused by the latest hip eating disorder.

    Angelina Jolie used to be plump in all the right places. Gia & Hackers days. Then she became a megastar. Now she is still hot, but nothing like her Gia years. Now she has a bony butt, stick legs, pancake breast & she's starting to get that Madonna face too.

  • Ya know i really like this! wow

  • I will never know what I think about Scarlett Johansson's vocal abilities. That said, her cover of Yesterday Is Here is my favorite of her offerings.

  • Unlike everyone else, i can't stand Scarlett as an actress. but i love her singing. go figure.

  • I think her voice is great for a Tom Waits song. There should be a bit of grittiness and dissonance when singing any Waits song. This isn't American Idol material. I think I actually dig this.

  • I love Scarlett, but damned, she can't sing for her life. I'm glad she's a great actress.

  • love it

  • I just cannot decide if I like her voice! Sometimes it is ethereal and pretty and sometimes it is nasal and weird. This song is actually one of the better ones. I do know that if she were not Scarlett Johansson, she would never even have a chance at a singing career.

  • Scarlet ur so beautiful , I've watched 90% of the movies you've been in just to see u , wen r u gna have a new project comin up, miss seeing u in the big screen

  • OK, if PY didn’t write this tune and play banjo on it, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. Very sweet and rich. So, SJ, when are you and PY gonna do a follow up. The two of you are priceless together.

  • At first i thought it was a man singin :P Mah bad.

  • Well, if she sang like a nightingale, men everywhere would really and truly be doomed. As it is we obsess over her for hours, days, weeks at a time. She makes me feel 20 again, and my grandson is almost that old. It's just sick.

  • She's incredibly hot, and her singing is almost totally characterless.

  • oh...my God...she's hot. Help me, Jesus.

  • AMazing woman!

  • Shes not even singing, shes just talking, her voice reminds me of an old white drug addict women asking for heroin money at a supermarket. Spare some change.

  • well i wouldn't like to see someone shaving her leg...

  • Like it! She's cute! And her voice fits the song. She's actually not that bad....

  • watch?v=nUDoGuLpirc

    Annie Machon Ex-MI5 (British similar to the FBI's intelligence division) discovered grave criminal misdeeds by the intelligence services on behalf of criminals in the British government and so decided to leave the service with her colleague David Shayler. They have teamed up and since gone on to expose the Truth of 9/11 and 7/7

  • I bet Tom Waits likes it. I have a lot respect for her just for her choice in songs to cover. She's get got my thumbs up.

  • i love her voice

  • Let's give her a chance. Maybe it's just not the right song/music for her and for that auto-tune thing, make a concert!! I would love to come! Who's with me? :)

  • She can't sing that's for sure and she's not that good looking. I've seen a pic of her when she had her naturally dark hair and before she got the nose job - she was below average. She needs to quit pretending she can sing for everyone's sake.

  • @HillmanZ1 she did not get a nose job. looking at a picture of her when she was 13 and then one today is complete bullshit. one, her nose looks the same. two, you grow into your features. your nose looked bigger when you were 12 as well. go look at a picture.

  • SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO HOT

  • this is the wrong song for scarlett!

  • scarlet u r so pathetic. cheers

  • like the song but she can't sing

  • she is hot but can not sing. so what.

  • love her voice, like a gorgeous mellow bellow xx

  • can i know who the original song of this singer is?

  • @jloveabdullah1207 Original singer is Tom Waits.

  • @jloveabdullah1207 Tom Waits

  • good thing she has a daY JOB.

  • She's hot.....She's beautiful...... but honestly.....she's not that good of a singer..... because of her prior fame she's had more of a chance at putting oout some music.....but think about it...... if this was the first you ever heard of her....would you feel the same?....... she's not bad i guess...... but she's impressive at all. Who's next at an album? Angelina jolie? or did she already make one?

  • this is so fucking good but all you corporate music loving bitches wouldn't know

    

  • She doesn't sound great singing this. But I like "Relation" she performed with Pete Yorn.

    That actually sounds good.

    This just makes me want to grind my teeth together.

    Scarlett Johanson is awesome though :]

  • she´s unique in every way.

    don´t make a media bitch of her.

  • Whatever about the quality of the covers, she has fucking great taste in music.

    I think I like her voice. Its flawed. Human.

  • I like her voice, it's raw. And I love Tom Waits...

  • she's not an excellent singer, but gotta give her credit for having soul -

  • Wow.....awful.....

  • finally, an actress that isn't writing auto-tuned pop songs.

  • wanna suck her pussy

  • oh my ears are bleeding

  • It seems you either have to love this or hate it.

    I for one love it. it's different and original, and such a refresher from the auto-tuned pop songs of today.

  • her cover has fallen down and died. it has since rotted where it fell.

  • stick to your day job.

  • oh i thought it was Scarlett falling down. damn

  • @axe187187

    Oh when I was watching this video, I need it LOTS of

    `` KLOSTER_FRAU_MELISSEN_gost `` ))

  • someone,who thinks she can't sing must be death,she's great!I love this version

  • @missbladenus someone, who thinks she can't sing must be deaf, she's great! love this version.....Is that what you meant to put? I would just add that you can hear she's brave and has some bravado, but her phrasing and the tone of her voice and her pitch is all off. With a proper mentor is can become much better though...man I would love to be Ryan Reynolds for one week..

  • i love her weird voice... is baeutiful. so raw and full of charm

  • Tom Waits is NOT an easy person to do a cover of and get away with it but Scarlett does a wonderful job of it. I am personally of fan of Tom Waits and I think she does the song justice.

  • @pallidamors2001 werd! ditto on all accounts!

  • @pallidamors2001 ~ Right along side you. - I'd be pretty disgusted if she sounded like anything close to Tom Waits!!! Haha!! It just wouldn't jive right with me!!! (for some inexplicable reason)??!!! Haha! ....Yuck! ~ Hey, let's ask Tom Waits how he feels about it!

  • joderr canta feooooo

  • i love her unique voice its beautiful

  • awesome voice -- no doubt she can sing (try it folks... )

  • I don't know why, to some extent, BUT, I just love this!! It fills my soul, somehow. Stupid, I know. I'm just sayin.

  • @mediaonnet No, not stupid at all...

  • @mediaonnet Why is that stupid? It's not stupid at all. She's amazing!

  • SACRLETT TE AMOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • I Love Tom Waits. And, despite anyone who dislikes this...somehow I get something completely different when I hear a Woman sing.."Go on take a swig of that poison and like it". ya dig? ...So, by the truth vested in me... I hereby declare...She did just fine. And now that we've settled that....

  • @bigredlover77 werd.

  • I think she has a nice voice, kind of deeper than usual for female singers, in a nice way. However, her actual singing is amateurish: it comes across like she's reading the lyrics and being careful to enunciate each word separately.

    That said, I really *love* the live version of Relator that she performed with Pete Yorn at the Interface, which is available here on youtube.

  • I am crazed Tom Waits fan and I think she does it justice, no cover should be identical to the original but should convey the songs message using the covering artists style. Love the whole album.

  • I now know three things about Scarlett Johansson. 1) She's beautiful 2) She's a good actress 3) She can't sing very well

    But doooonn't beeee saaadd, cause two outtaa three aainn't baadd.

  • I love this photography series as well.

  • Without sounding too much like a geek.. Can anyone else hear that terrible auto tuning?

    This is heading into Cher territory.

  • 4:07 Which photoshoot is the image from? i'm collecting her pics, tks

  • Her voice is special. Straightforward n not much techniques. Soo talented!

  • I love her.

  • Tom Waits,still fuckin' sexy *_*

  • Me, and my friends think her voice is ugly..........

  • @blacksalvias ~ Me, and your friends think you're ugly. I like your friends.

  • at least she sings live unlike some spears girl we all know

  • wow, she really butchered an amazing Tom Waits song. :/

  • theres a different recording of this song done by her that sounds way better than this but 4 some reason i cant find it on youtube

  • ...She should stick to acting. I give her kudos for allowing her raw voice show, rather than edit it and such... But, I mean, there's only so much credit you can give her. Leave it to Tom, hun. Sorry.

  • shes my idol and i love her very much

  • I mean physically tiring.

  • @Julietteisme. Singers choose to not sing live at concerts mainly because their vocals get tired, going from town to town and doing shows after shows.

    I would make the same choice for half of my concerts to not over exert my vocal chords, to not damage them.

    I sing myself, not for record companies but for small gigs, & I know it can get tiring.

  • I also like it. I have never liked Mariah Carey or likewise singer, they are not ART they just sing pretty and coomunicate nothing. Scarlett gives me something when she sings i like it :)

  • What a great arrangement of this song...oh, and that raunchy voice is the absolute icing on the cake.

  • Scarlett !! me encanta en el papel de actriz!! pero la verdad en la música como q no encaja, no soy una persona experta en el ámbito musical pero simplemente escuchandola uno ya puede pensar e interpretar no!!! pero i'm still love you!!!

  • its live if it were perfect chances are it would be from the studio

  • lol this is pretty bad but still.. you can't hate it cause she's hot

  • she has something special, you can see it in her eyes.

    not like any braindead britney, i like it!

    from holland

  • Is this a joke?

  • Precioso, que interpretación tan natural. Me alegra saber que tiene sensibilidad para la poesía musical. ¿Que no canta como lady gaga wtf? a quien le importa.

  • well she might not sound amazing, but atleast she can actually sing, unlike so called pop-'stars' who dont even sing live in their concerts....

  • Ouch...her long notes make my ears feel weird. She needs to add vibrato or something.

  • I like this.  I've heard a lot worse from so called professional singers.

  • yeah it does have some kinda character, No tone timber or flow....but some character....

  • I love Ms. Johansson! she is the cutiest woman in the whole world, I would even married her without having a second thought! Every morning I would wake up on her with a snacky kiss, and would be loney no more forever.

  • beautiful!!

  • sorry but it's bad.. she's really pretty tho :)

  • very indiee i love it just like mgmt she has her own unique voice we all have different taste, singing like beyonce doesnt always mean "good at singing". all the musicians are different.

  • all of you who are saying her singing sucks probably crack their raspy voice singing happy birthday (like me!)

    I think this version is better than the album version. an improvement over the original in more than a single sense

  • I like the way she does this. I've read comments to contrary taste, but I hear her sweet feminine voice. I say, let everyone sing! - I was homeless for 4 years, (frostbite & then some)and I know about 'falling down'. Some of the most talented people can't read enough to type a response_ yet most responders have 0(zero) talent. Only God loves a critic.

  • @bigredlover77 agree complettly! ive damn sure done my share of fallin down i turn 39 june24 but i still feellike i did when i was 17...somebody tell me how to grow up...lol..no i dont really want that

  • @scottNcolcty ~Happy late B-Day!

  • @bigredlover77 great comment, things seem to be ok for you now, I'm happy for you.

  • Comment removed

  • @bigredlover77 Every day, I hate empty judgemental people: "she's fat, she's so this, she's so that" stupid and ignorant criticism that make you look like your brain is spoiled and useless.

  • Comment removed

  • @bigredlover77 Yeah, I really like her too.

  • @bigredlover77 I hate how some whiner always come to videos type something about them and they get thumbs up..

  • @Thisisnoturname ~ Then stop whining.... with your thumbs up your ass.

  • @bigredlover77 You got a problem, sir?

  • @Thisisnoturname ~ Simply...No. Do you have a problem? - Do you see the ironic humor in your first response to me? I can't stop people from rating my comments. Do you see why I perceived your comment as a 'passive/aggressive' insult?

  • @bigredlover77 I wasn't trying to be funny, it just annoys me.

  • @Thisisnoturname ~ You haven't answered the question. Try again. (without whining, please)

  • @bigredlover77 Also, why are you so cocky? You think you're so much more perfect than anyone else and just continues this fight whitout any point. Also why do you start your sentence whit a "~" ?

    (whitout whining, please.)

  • @Thisisnoturname ~ When I want your opinion...I'll give it to you. Now, can you stop being a 'whiny cry-baby'?

  • @bigredlover77 Well no one asked for you'r opinion in the first place so right back at ya.

  • @Thisisnoturname ~ My original comment wasn't directed at you!...Your original comment (ironicly projected 'whiny' grievance) was a direct (albeit, inaccurate) insult to me. Do you see the difference? - You obviously have difficulty answering questions, so I'll abandon any expectations of you having the integrity to start now.

    Have a nice day.

  • @bigredlover77 Thank you, same to you.

  • @Thisisnoturname ~ You missed the point...again.

  • you people hurt her feelings!! it's just the way she sings!! that's all!!! if you don't agree then don't watch this video! sorry, but it's the truth.... some people were born for this and some not... but saying that she can't sing you're hurting her feelings, have you ever thought about that, huh?:(

  • Sounds like very drunked me on karaoke. Conclusion? She can't sing. I'd say more: she shouldn't do it. It's total discredit...

  • Comment removed

  • i dont like it :-S

  • Stick to acting!!! OMG

  • The Best ! (L)

  • She should do porno's instead lol

  • Meh, I love Scarlett, but I can't seem to enjoy her singing. :\

  • First when i heard her singing i thought she was a real bad singer,

    but now that im listening to this one, her voice is really boyish, powerful and husky.

    and maybe that's how she intended to interpret this song.

  • I like her voice a lot. Have you tried to sing this? Especially in this key for a woman. And yes she is very attractive, that just a bonus.

  • the way she sings this kinda reminds me of when the chick in chasing amy sings with her friends band at the bar...take it as compliment or criticism. "unconventional"/"bad", its all opinion, so it doesn't really matter. she gets cool points for wanting to do a tom waits cover album, but kinda gets some taken away for actually DOING a tom waits cover album...

  • wow, not good, hurts my ears

  • Her voice is mean it's just different. Mad respect

  • sry, but everbody who tells her that shes a good singer, is a liar...

  • she sings like Amy Winehouse actually., if you listen for a while.

  • @Voodoofreak35 your crazy shes nothing like amy lol

  • LOL when i read the title i thought it was like shes on a stage and she falls on live tv

  • she cant sing, dont talk around the facts

  • @mrurkraft She is hot, but somehow there is something wrong with her singing o_O

  • omg she is hot but plz someone make her stop she is making a fool of herself i feel bad for her

  • a little more acty a little less singy please scarlette

    P.S I love your boobs

  • Her singing isn't bad. At least she's on pitch, something stars can't do these days.

  • theres something just so pure about her voice, i love it

  • She's pretty but she can't sing. She should stick to being pretty.

  • good taste for music this scarllet has . for that she deservers some respect . of course this versio of her doesnt has to do anything with mr waits but . hey good try . no hate in this for sure

  • I know her voice isn't perfect, and of course there are people singing way better, but in some way, I really like this song.

    =o)

  • she needs to stick to acting

  • agreed. Well, 2 things. One: yeah she's good looking, but her voice cracks a lot when she tries to hit certain notes. 2. I thought this was a cover of Lacuna Coil :(
