I'm sorry but I don't think the lady's voice is suited to the song, i don't know whether because the song has an Irish feel to it or whether she is forcing it. I'm sorry but that's the way I feel personally.
@MissWard1309 Have to disagree with you...I thought she sang great for this song...really good....but we are all entitled to our own opinions :) Merry Christmas
Awesome cover! I really like the drunken touch in his voice while obviously being sober. Her voice is amazing...Great job guys, one of the best cover I heard for this song!
i agree that most of the artists who cover the pogues have good voices BUT none of them sings the way Shane does....the drunken way...the way all pogues songs should be sang.
this is a really good cover, nice one. would it be really rude if i asked what chords you play on the guitar, I would quite like to attempt to busk this song. Thankyou.
I'm not knocking you talent, or anything - you are a great musician and singer. But this applies to everyone, this is just one of those songs that cannot be covered!!! It is a classic, and no one can touch it!
Great musician however - your other videos are great!
Are u just gonna post this on every cover of this song or do u actually listen to the attempt?!
Christ Moore does a great cover of this on his live in Dublin album but I'm sure if it was on Youtube u'd just copy and paste ur comment to that aswell.
I agree with you. I noticed the same post below.. its a bit annoying. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you dont like a cover song, just dont watch it!
I have to agree. No matter how great of a singer or musician you are-and these people are good- there is no match for that delightfully scratchy ash-tray of a voice that Shane MacGowan has.
hi im mel shads from holsworthy north devon i loved your music didnt get a chance to buy a cd how can i get hold of one, i will be in isle of wight in september are you playing anywhere?

Really enjoyed it but it sounds like you say 'Mountain Cue' at the start, the song he's singing is called Mountain Dew!

@MissWard1309 Really? I think that she's the best female vocalist I've seen do Kirsty MacColl's part. I was actually pleasantly surprised.

@SwanseaTosh I know everyone in entitled to their opinions i just think the irish of the song was missing which i think makes the song brillant
