Stars - This Charming Man

[joeainscough]

I'm a massive Smiths fan but I must say this is a top cover. So much better than trying to just recreate the Smiths sound - not as good as the original but still top notch, well played

[karlthunderaxe]

i heard this version before i ever heard the smiths', and though i love the smiths, i personally still prefer this version.

different strokes for different folks, people, get over yourselves.

[willmer88]

sorry, i was listening with an open mind but this was just a miss. it's hard to re-write the perfect song though, i couldn't have done any better.

[freebearride]

no just ...no

[6mozzer3]

jesus! why dont you go the whole hog and rape our queen elizabeth and bugger prince philip,if you really want to insult our country.

[bmetcalfe1000]

Poor performance this! I'm offended seriously this is a disgrace to mancunians.

Its like hitting the republic of mancunia flag with a arabs slipper!

[OverRideGeneration]

This cover is a bit of a let down tbh

[louisvaughan]

this is an insult to me as a manc ! WANKER

[louisvaughan]

this is shit FUCKING SHIT !!!!!!!!! AS A MANC I AM DEEPLY OFFENDED THAT YOU YANKY TWAT HAVE TRIED TO COVER A GREAT CLASSIC HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL FOR THIS INSULT TO THE MANCUNIANS!.... GIVE UP ON MUSIC BECAUSE IF .... OHH WORDS CANT EXPLAIN HOW SHIT YOU ARE .... WANKER x

[awfareen]

"YANKY TWAT" is incorrect, as this band is Canadian. The rest of your comment is obviously spot on.

[franknwalters]

@louisvaughan what is wrong with you man ... this arrangement is really good ...

[franknwalters]

@louisvaughan have you heard this from the "nightsongs" ??? it's really good ... this is the Stars showing respect to the Smiths ...

your way of doing that is by insults ?

[adelbosk]

muy buen cover, congratulations!!!

[sseeaannnnn]

This was the best concert of my life

[farrygisher]

i hope every man that had anything to do with this cover dies an agonizing death as punishment for this shambolic cover.

[cheesytaytos]

yes. Let their toe nails curl and blister

[bobbydylanio]

This cover sounds remarkably bland and highly unorigional in comparison to the origional.

[bnrocks182]

I like the way they sang this song, of course nothing beats The Smiths but this is a fairly decent cover. To be honest, I kinda like this better than the original mainly because I am not too big of a fan of The Smiths (even though they are legends) and because I adore Stars<3 so yes I am biased.=)

[porkchop1797]

yay great comment BNROCKS, well , no, not a very good comment really!

nothing beats the Smiths but this beats the Smiths, the Smiths are really GREAT except that I dont really like the Smiths, the Smiths are crap!

How much do you contradict yourself? mmm I 've never seen you contradict yourself! I think you must have a split personality but I'm in two minds about it !

[bnrocks182]

You win, I suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder, are you happy now?

[porkchop1797]

Yawn! bet you think thats really clever

no you think its really stupid

more like MPD brought on by some musical trauma

I like stars but I couldn't eat a whole one

I'll be happy when they add a song to this bassline but this is such a great song ...........random random random

[jsymmes]

I'm a bigger fan of Stars, this version is definitely the better of the two. Obviously since the smiths did the original, the remake is subject to criticism.

[massspooot]

im sorry and i cant baleave im saying this but this is almost as good as the smiths wow that took balls to say

[sirtrevor10]

An interesting version, but it does seem like it's done that way to avoid the musicians playing this very tricky song ? Not bad though.

[dancewithRAJEAN]

you should hear the real audio version. the audio here is terrible.

we all know that there won't be any cover that will be better than the actual one, but i think stars have done a really creative version of it, which suits more of their genre. i mean who would have thought of covering it like this? death cab for cutie did one, but theres no creativity.

[mollzandz]

<3

I LOVE YOU.

[Sucio16]

It's nice to hear different versions of my favorite band(s), The Smiths/Morrissey. However, not really feeling this one.

[skittles501]

I like the orinal better=]

[ejicon]

They sound exactly the way the same live as they do in the studio. Definitely a band to see live.

[DAMNMorpheus]

THEY FUCKED IT UP!!!!!

[jawesome1]

Wow, at 1:00, they really start jammin.

[jawesome1]

i have a question. if the stars sing this song at concerts/probably ablums too so often, shouldnt they have to pay royalties to the smiths? sucky version, anyway.

[jsymmes]

they rarely play this live, and it was released on a small ep album a while ago

[djboony]

good cover, good vocals,

morrisey could'nt sing anyway, so they done well

[dropkickradio]

this is fucking terrible, if you're a girl and you think that this will impress guys who like the smiths you are very wrong

[jegmarquez]

better than the fucking original.

[gooner1804]

The Smiths are my favourite band of all time, but I really like this cover.

[Aracatamus]

This shames 'The Smiths' version, they've taken an awesome song, used it to gain popularity whilst ruining the original...Nice job, assholes!

[DeliciousBob]

fuck u this is better then origanal

[Aracatamus]

Obviously you have no idea what good music is. 'The Smiths' are recognised as one of the most influential rock bands of the '80's whereas 'Stars', well who the fuck are they, no one's going to be listening to this shite cover in the future but people will still be listening to 'The Smiths'. Also, DeliciousBob, you are a flatulent arse.

[DeliciousBob]

80s .. eww lmfao

[Aracatamus]

I'm gonna rip your mangos off bitch

[DeliciousBob]

lol im jk smiths are great but dont ripp on the indie scene

[Aracatamus]

I like Indie Music, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand etc., just didn't like this cover :)

[DeliciousBob]

fair enough arctic monkeys are amazing lol

[Aracatamus]

Dude, if I had a spliff and a crate of beer you'd be in on it

[3oL]

ok, no really, nothing touches the original Smiths version, though i think the Stars did a decent job

[stoyscov]

argh'

[spakey1983]

utter Bollocks!!!

[GnrlDripik]

wow they suck ass they had to restart

[padraic2001eire]

A bland song? Disagree with you there.

[jamierourketen]

no aura guys badly out of tune and thsinger looks a complete peado trainwatcher... dont fuck about with things beyond your musical capabilities.

[infeted14]

that is a fuckin disgrace end of

[hxsw]

Trying to bling up The Smiths TUT TUT once again the local constabulary should be coming round to lock you all up for murder (Of a great song)

[tangpa]

things change. i like this version better.

[tangpa]

and amy millan is HOT

[tangpa]

[jellogoodbye]

[awfareen]

His microphone fell.

[screamingintheoven]

[awfareen]

Was it your intention to try and ruin the experience of those around you, or did it just happen?
