also i can identify with it more than i can when i listen to tom waits, I receive a totally different message from her than from Tom Waits, even though the words are the same.
This is truly God awful. I can't believe how she destroyed this song. The sing-songy, happy-go-lucky beat and the way she sings the lyrics renders the lyrics meaningless and ridiculous. It's done in a such a superficial, empty, and generic way. She doesn't have enough depth to sing this song.
Everyone's saying Scarlett is an awful singer, yes? Then she is qualified to sing Tom Waits songs. Because last time I listened he didn't exactly have the voice of an angel! Please note that I Love Tom Waits, I just find it amusing when Scarlett's singing is mocked for the aforementioned reason! lol
And by the way, Tom's voice may not be proffesional or anything, but it's a very special kind of voice that you don't hear every day and which fits perfectly with his songs' lyrics and music, pretty decadent (that's why I like the Ramones version, too), you can't sing this a la Madonna!
this is horrible. I like her in the movies but, my goodness, this is a complete debacle of a Tom Waits classic. this sucks and i'm pissed that there are music producers who are willing to destroy art so they can line their pockets with cash. The only thing that will make me feel better is if SJ lets me f%#@^%$ her really hard. Yeah!
Chill the beans, obviously no one can out-do tom waits but she was just trynna have her own take on it! I really like her album I have'nt heard anything like it in ages so different!
I was against this from the get-go... covering a man like Tom Waits? Nobody can do it... his music is too much his persona for some blonde, fat titted tart to sing and get away with it. Album sales? Not very good...jesus... I wonder why. She may have did it for her own pleasure, but damn, I'm sure she has enough money to record in privacy and keep it for her own collection, if that's all she did it for. Was she trying to prove her love of Tom? Butchering his songs is a poor way of doing it.
I'm so sick of these actresses thinking they have any business putting records out there. Their voices are so digitally altered and overpowered with music and sound effects so that you cant hear how bad they actually suck! What kind of idiot record Label would spend money on making this shit? They all suck, Paris hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and heidi montag need to stick to acting!!!
oh my god...she did the cure's, boys don't cry...she absolutely slaughtered it! the only decent songs I have heard from her are falling down, and song for jo
Her voice is potentially very good...I'm just not sure about her style. I has a very sixities folk sound, which isn't bad...but I'd like to see what she could do if she really stretched those vocal cords. Right now she's singing songs that have a bit of slur/drag to the melody. I like how she sounded when she sang Summertime...and I have a feeling that if she had a little more variety with her music, she could do quite well in that area.
I just love the songs she has made.. everyone is so negative.. I don't know WHYYY!?
it's funny that the pitch of her voice is so low, while she has rather a high voice while speaking.. I just think everyone dislikes it, cos the rythm/melody.. is different from what we're used to be..?
I think they really exegerated it about how bad she was.. cos really SHE AINT !!
I think this is great. She isn't supposed to sound old and tired, it's from a different perspective. It means something else when a young person like Scarlett sings it.
yo this version rocks. all u haters must be stuck on the original. i think her voice is perfect, and those who say she aint trying, why u think she picked this song in the first place? to not try on it??
she's actually really good, why are so many internet geeks baggin on her? shes hotter and better than all of you. You really think she cares about a fat balding loser's opinion of her?
Cocoa, do you really think we care about YOUR opinion? (with no use to lose respect)
Why I think SJ's cover of the song is pure shit? Well, you can listen to the lyrics and then listen to her. She's no tired at all (as the lyrics sais), she seems so happy with her shiny glass voice and her synthetizer...
Or easier. I cannot believe any of the words she is singing.
theirs been nothing but negative response towards her music, Im just saying ITS NOT THAT BAD. In terms of music altogether, you listen to yours and ill listen to mine. And the world will still spin into armageddon.
Completely agree, I was skeptical, then I heard Falling Down and actually liked it. I saw she did this song and was intrigued. This is bad though. Alas.
I got to 0:20...this sounds fucking horrible. Is the background sound being played on a fucking Cassio? What is this shit?

You said: 'No one asked you to comment here'
Of course, I don't need nobody's permission to give my opinion where and when I want.
Do you?
The only difference between you and I is that I'm only saying what I see strictly in the music with no need to offend.
Why I'm here? Because I love Tom Waits' music.
Other reason? To have argued and cultivated discussions about music, not to say stupid things.
P.S. SJ must be on MTV, much more easy-listening that TW original songs.
