the first time I heard this I found it really weird and kinda bad, now??? after the second time I fell in love this song is amazing,,, congrats to scarlett for being different
I wonder who told her this was a good idea, and if she has fired that person yet? I'm thinking it's the same person that advises her on work, as her "career" is in the toilet. Poor kid. She needs a new management team - and a vocal coach.
Very creative individual; definitely someone that doesn't need to rely on her movie star ability to make it as a singer, at least for me. I don't get that vibe at all. I think that she is just very talented.
It doesn't hurt that she is physically gorgeous either. Claxxy person in her interviews and in person.
It's amazing to hear all of these people hate on this stuff. Let me guess none of you have any songs uploaded and none of you have any talent. Weak haters! If you want to show youtube what you've got why don't you sing us something (meaning all of the people who upload music here whether "good" or "bad") instead of just hating ALL THE TIME! I just did a cover of Dear Prudence. It is a demo. It's not perfect. But I did it, because I love it. Fuck all the music haters...Flint Dear Prudence.
well, I do admire her courage to go on and put out a solo album as alternate as this, I like to see these kinds of things, makes me appreciate her even more. I guess she also wrote her own songs and can play the guitar, which is another HUGE bonus over every generic female popstar nowadays. but I confess I didn't like it much myself, but I haven't listened to the whole album to be able to judge properly.
idk how the album did commercially..was it a flop??
She doesn't suck, she doesn't sound like the typical female singer but she does not suck, she has an alternative voice, and she has excellent taste, she's covering Tom Waits who also has a very unusual voice. She sings really pretty in some other of her songs, so she chose to sound like this... I love it.
Oh shit was that her singing? Wow. I thought it was ok. But, you all going on and on about It sucking. Well were is your video where you sing? Not that I care much about Scarlett but even in the nobodies who put up a vid... Why so much hate? How about some good old fashioned common curtsey.
i don't think it's so much about whether she can sing or not, i think the people complaining are tom waits fans. it was barely acceptable to us when rod stewart covered a couple of his songs and rod stewart can sing! we're just a funny lot who see this kind of thing as a form of blasphemy :-)
Its her take on it, just like your opinion. And I think its quite nice, without trying and being pretentious. After all its a song about giving up trying.. plus, plus, plus - she's got a nice rack
This is really about as terrible as a Tom Waits song should ever sound, you don't cover him just for the hell of it, especially with a voice as bland as hers. Im sure this girls heart is in the right place and credit to her for picking Waits to cover, it obviously isn't a sell out attempt. However, as far as art goes you may as well have Paris Hilton release an album covering Captain Beefheart or something.
well said, this is the first time i ever listened to any of her covers, as i understand she produced a full album of toms stuff, so fair play to her, i'm assuming she must be a real fan. i love rod stewarts voice (his early r'n'b stuff) but even i wasn't impressed when he covered tom, although he did do it for all the right reasons (i.e. to get tom some cash when he needed it) but this is not my cup of tea :-)
Not sure how I feel about the video; a bit too egocentric.. But the singing itself wasn't bad, just an off style, kind of eccentric. Reminded me a lot of Cat Power or Tilly and the Wall.
I like it, but I don't know if her voice is perfect for the song... it seems almost as if it should be sung by someone else. But I don't know much. Regardless, it's Scarlett so of course I love it.
Some of you are so STUPID and IGNORANT. Just because you don't like how she sounds in this song or get what she was trying to do here, doesn't mean she cannot sing. She's singing perfectly in tune here, but some of you seem to have no idea who Tom Waits is or that this is a cover. If you understood that, you'd get she couldn't go turn his tracks into some electro-dance-pop song. Go listen to her cover of Summertime or Last Goodbye, or her album with Pete Yorn. She can sing well.
@futurestar94britfan Yeah, ok sorry about that.. but could be a model though? either way still quite original and to be fair, I like it... thanks for the reply though.
I submit to you, dear Youtube reader, the following notion: this would be taken at face value were it not for the identity of its vocalist. It's great, unique and totally idiosyncratic. Kind of like a contemporary take on Nico's legacy, but without being flat and painfully dull.
I love Scarlett, she's beautiful and talented but this is an abomination. At least get the fucking changes right, taking the Bb out of the verse completely ruins the song. Boooo.
I've now listened to a few of her songs and I've come to the conclusion that Scarlett is better off sticking to acting... and I mean that in the most respectful way. I will give her that at least she's taking a sort of avant garde/artistic approach; as opposed to the much easier and more customary bubblegum route... but she's just not a singer overall. I've even seen comparisons to floozies like Kim Kardashian, and that's just stupid. S.J. HAS a ton of talent, just not so much in singing.
Some actors are versatile and can sing and act, some aren't. I'm afraid to say she definitely isn't. The video is good, though, and there are worse out there, I just think that she should give up singing and stick to what she's best at.
