  • i'm just addicted to this, margie.. i've known this cover since 2008, when you uploaded it and i love your voice.. it's just angelic, amazing; congratulations for your work

  • Nice job hottie ;)

    1:46 YEAH, you maed my morning!!

  • No I am indie but thank you!

  • You signed? Oughta be!

  • damn your lovely !! nice voice and nice cover of tom waits song. damn your prettier than scarlett j.

    keep going girl!!

    

  • Wow, I don't like many covers of songs that start out as perfect as TW's Falling Down, but this is really good, much better than Scarlett's cover. You're also just as beautiful as SJ.

  • So......what are the chances of marrying some guy on youtube immediately??

  • To continue,...

    I think I could critique your singing and suggest ways you could better use your singing talent,...

    But then I think, you're so god awful pretty that you can probably get away with much less than stellar singing, and still sell millions.

    So, I think, just have fun, feel good about yourself and what you do, and you'll probably make gazillions and become famous.

  • You are very pretty. You have exactly the kind of face and look that is commercially very appealing.

    You have a very good voice.

    Critique: I would drop the 'twang'. You can get away with being more straight forward in your singing. I think it would have greater appeal that way anyway.

    Also, I think you need to get more real. For example, try to sing as if it's the last time you'll get to perform and share your performance. Or, sing as if YOU are the only one who will ever hear you sing.

  • Is that a Taylor youre playin?

    Break a heart to pay for that?

  • wtf, I thought you were scarlett

  • I thought you were Scarlett...

  • haha so did i! Then I saw the video load and was all "Oh." o.o

  • tom waits is my hero. you have a marvelous voice. although this song is about a man's crushed soul, you've hit it right. tell me about it...

  • tom waits is my hero. you have a marvelous voice. although the song is about a crushed man's soul, you've hit it right. tell me about it...

  • buen itento (y)

  • Pretty singing girls aren't nothin but trouble.

  • Wow, beautiful! Is it a Martin? The bird ain't bad either, haha.

  • i am in love u are beautiful and u sing perfect

  • You are my queen! Please tell me you are not yet maried!

  • You've a lovely voice, but this is not a woman's song.

    I know that might come off as offensive, but you've to understand this song is a blue bit about being a man degraded by his own masculine pride into a stupor of booze and detachment.

    I look at you, and although a very pretty woman with a fantastic voice, you don't strike me as being particularly down and out or overly concerned with manhood:p

  • SHUT UP, right now!

  • you sing it WAY better than Scarlett J.

  • yo take it easy buddy your probably bitchin about this while tom waits would just shrug his shoulders and not give a shit about it, if not applaud her version. Atleast she shows a decent taste in music, even if some mainstream actress covered it, she still apreciates the song...

  • You're great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  • She doesn't display much grasp of this song's rhythm and tempo, though she has a nice voice and looks beautiful singing it. It evokes an image of her tripping while drink and falling down, which I don't think is what the Waits version does.

  • I utterly agree. I tell you straight: if you sing a Tom Wait song with an ultra-melodic register it doesn't make any sense! Tom Waits has a great skill in arranging his cavernous voice both with "elementary music" and with more complex stuff (just cut short). You have a beautiful voice for sure, and you're also a very cute girl. But pay attention not to trivialize genius' work! Make a song on your own and then sing it. It'll be better ;) (i'm not taking the piss of you!)-(sorry for my english)

  • She did way better on this song than on the Jeff Buckley cover. SHe destroyed The Last Goodbye.

  • beautiful :) well done!

  • kntas super =)

  • Beautiful

  • You have nice teeth!!

  • It's not by 'Scarlet Johansen', dammit.

  • wow this is really beautiful and youre too

  • You have a Deadly voice! But i dont like how you changed her song because its an amazing song. :L

    <3

  • Nice job. You covered this song in your own style, and I commend you for holding true to what you do. Only Tom Waits sounds like Tom Waits. When songs are covered, they are subject to interpretation. You don't think Tom Waits uses gimmicks? His current style and voice (the "croak") was adopted in the late 70's. Before that, he sounded like Bob Dylan. Thanks Margie Chadburn for doing this song your way.

  • Great job of doing this song in your own style. Nobody does Tom Waits quite the way Tom Waits does. Covering a song is always subject to the artist's interpretation. You don't think Tom Waits has gimmicks too? His current voice and style, often called "the croak," wasn't adopted until the late 1970's. Before that, he sounded like Bob Dylan. Thank you for your take on this song Margie Chadburn, I enjoyed it for what it was.

  • a littlecrap,i dont like when ppl sing like this, its so generic, she is not bad, but would be better if she had a kind of identity

  • Good voice!!!

    nice

  • Less vocal gimickry and a more natural presentation would be a major improvement. It sounds too much like a presentation for American Idol. Trust in the song; less is more.

  • Good God Girl, love your voice. Very very nice...and you're easy on the eyes..haha...just a lil advice, take it or leave it; don't rush..take it slow...I didn't really feel the performance ..i wish you all the luck in the world..you have the look and the voice to make it. Go for it. :-)

  • This song is by TOM WAITTS! Please read the description. Thank you! Please also watch Tom Waitts version. It is amazing!

  • This is a tom waits song.. your voice is great for pop culture, but you lack the emotion to sing the song. Get into the role.. feel the song and try try again.. if you can do that then you can justify what you have done to this song which is rape it and credit it to someone who did not infact write the song.

  • i agree with this statement. you completely drain the song of its original feeling. you need to sit down and listen to the Original version. you'll get an education. though seeing as you cover a Nickelback song i do not think that Tom Waits would fit your taste.

  • Great feel, lady! Tom would be charmed, I'm sure.

  • Lovely voice! Wish you the best

  • I hope you don't mind, I put this on my ipod. You're amazing :)

  • this is much better than Scarlett's...you have a much more pleasant voice.

  • slightly better than Scarlette's.

    nothing beats the ORIGINAL by TOM WAITS!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you ! This is just a different arrangement.

  • agreed. wether its waits singing it or johansson.. i think you did it better.

    all versions are good.. but you have the better voice for it.

  • great work!! amazing

  • I like your voice, I do, but what's with the pauses between some of the lines? It messes up the beat. Then I like the song to be more of a straight and direct storytelling, rather than a semi-wailing country pop thing that you seem to have going on. I mean no disrespect at all, I assure you, it is just my personal reflection, based on my personal taste. :) You are doing a good job so keep going!

  • your voice is better than Scarlett's hehe

  • great voice

  • Wow, if u could cook you would be the perfect woman

  • good cover. better than original :D

  • This is a Tom Waitts song!  Please read the description. Thank you!

  • Girl! What voice!!!

  • beautiful voice, girl

  • wow i didnt know Scarlett Johansson could sing,, but it will always be atom waits song and one of my fabourites :)

  • this is NOT Scarlett Johansson's song. It's by Tom Waits. Sorry, that annoys me. Don't give credit to some actress who slaughtered the song, Tom Wait's song, by the way.

  • u hav a great voice but scarlett's version is better

  • OMG you sing, not like Scarlett, this version sounds much better.

    Congrats great voice!

  • You have an amazing smooth voice. From the moment you opened your mouth it seemed like it just flowed out in the most natural way yet your voice is strong and clear. You're truly an extremely talented singer.

  • looks like Scarlett but sounds better

  • how have you NOT got a record deal yet???

  • голос классный

  • Better, clearly.

  • the song is from tom waits... not from scarlett... hehehe

  • yeah exactly!

  • sounds a lil bit country, but good singing :)

  • amazing voice, and you're very beautiful!

    good job!

  • It seems Tom Waits has gotten no credit, cause he wrote it, not Scarlet, check it out, thanks.

  • Better than Scarlett ! :) You're good . (=

    great voice!

  • see this is why i had problems with scarlett johansson covering tom waits

  • Much better than Johansson's version. Of course, Tom Waits deserves some credit too.

  • u look like also nice...

  • ur buetyfull and u are good at singing

  • i agree..your version vibrates my body...very beautiful!!!

  • I have to say, that you sign a lot better than her! Your version vibrates my body, and that's rare!

  • falling down is by tom waits and covered by scarlett johansson, idiota

  • WOO! You're really good at singing -- and one of the better cover artists I've ever listened to/watched. First because your quality's really nice and because you're polite and you don't have this slightly haughty air. And last but not least, you make 'eye contact' with your audience. :)

  • she is so much better then scarlett

  • yea thumbds up and the noise to how do you spell that lol you fool me with your singing country sounding some time i think you have accent you the chameleon girl i bet you can yodal like lee ann ryhms i heard hear 1 time and wow she was yodaling man not that i a yodadel freek lol but it was cool. i'm cacthing margy you not falling if you are i want to cacth lol 1.48 on that stuff super at

  • i like it

  • better than scarletts verson but shes still pretty cool good singer.

  • unlike Scarlett Johansson you can actually sing. why not just cut out the middle man and say you're covering Tom Waits.

  • And she should really listen to the original Waits version to hear the important places to emphisize. Like "take a swig of that poison and like it"

  • u'are beautiful what's ur email girl :D ay great voice ;)

  • Wow, it's nice to see someone with talent tdo a really great job with a Wait's song, not easy to do and you made the song your own too, i really enjoyed it, well done, be proud!

  • i love your voice, it is so amazing, i love so this type of voice!!

  • Please read the annotations. This is a Tom Waitts song. Thank you!

  • i clicked to play your video thinking that was scarlett singing...

    but you sing very well, congratulations, you have a beautiful voice

  • looks like scarlett, sings like scarlett,

    very nice indeed

  • Love it.

  • You´ve got a great voice. I really like it. You´re a great singer :o)

  • WOW your voice is crazy

  • Thanks so much for the comments!

  • This is really nice. They should have given you a record deal instead of scarlett. she cant sing worth crap, and her voice is so digitally altered and enhansed that you cant hear how bad she actually suks

  • you have a beautiful voice, its really unique, your very pretty too.

    x

  • Damn, you are fantastic, if there is really a gift, God gave you to spare! Congratulations.

  • WOW

  • Omg, You're better than Scarlett Johansson!!

    I swear!

    kisses

    Cloe XD

  • Thank you all for your comments! Again I still love the way Tom Waitts sings this song.

  • Wow, this is so much better than Scarletts.  You have a wonderful voice.

  • Excellent vocal! *****

  • Very nice :o)tm*****

  • nothing short of superb! *****

  • thanks Rusty:0)

  • You're great! :) you look a little like Scarlett too :)

  • Nice;)

  • I love this song, and I love what you've done with it.

  • Is Volkerc16 on crack? Your voice is beautiful and Scarlett Johansson Sounds like a garbage disposal that has been synthesized beyond believe. The song is great, and you do it justice unlike that talentless ho

  • You have a good voice, but this song isnt for you. Scarlett did this song as a tribute to Tom, and so she sand it accordingly, you however do not. Learn the song and its meaning so you can sing it as is should be.

  • I totally agree with this statement. Learn the original and then do your own, its like someone copying the mona lisa and then someone thinking that the copy is the original and so they copy from that - you get a copy of a copy (which might have some artistic validity but only as an exercise not as a work to be displayed in public).

  • Amazing!

  • I'm fall in love !!!

  • beautiful voice, real radio quality

  • Beautiful.

    Great voice Babes. Yours puts Scarletts to same. Some day, the whole world wll sing Tom.

    XX

  • I accept non-positive critics

  • I understand if some people do not like this version of the song. I respect Tom Waits and enjoy the way he sings his song. I wanted to try something different. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I respect that.

  • tom waits songs are suppose to be depressing.

    the emotion in your cover was poorly portayed.

    i hated this sorry.

  • 300 times better than the original singer! I like Scar Jo's acting but SINGING....I'll have to pass. I am pretty open to any type of music but Scar Jo's music is so depressing.....Good Job on this version.

  • much better than scarlett!!

  • Ye... it's not BY ScarJo... dammit

  • you have a beautiful voice... btw you remind me of Jewel.

  • adoroel77 is obviously another one of those Scarlett Johansson blind sheep fans who thinks she is all of the sudden this GREAT singer/Musician. By the way whats up with your NO Girl beginning to your comments at this talented young lady. I have an idea lets hear Your version of this song before you run your trap anymore. Hows that sound?

  • Uh the song is not "by" Scarlett Johansson. You could at least get the songwriting credits right. And your version is blah.

  • And you are a dummy, if you watched the video in like the first 15 seconds a pop up shows and she says in it this is actually a Tom Waits song.

    You probably do not have any sense of humor though, and her version is not Blah, you obviously no nothing about talent. This young lady is on the verge of getting an album released from her talent not her fame as a movie star like Scarlett Johansson.

  • one decent comment. Finally.

  • No girl, you are young, you are blonde like Johansson, and you have a powerfull voice but your version of the song is very cheap. Please try to learn to use your ears.

  • adoroel77 So are you going to tell me Scarlet Johanssons version is not a cheap money grab by another Hollywood actress who is a wannabe Musician. Scarlett is an amazing Actress but as far a a singer goes her voice is VERY average and a LOT went into the production to make her sound better. Get a life adoroel77 or better yet lets hear your Version so we can all critique you.

  • i found it really bad of you not to accept a non-positive critic! adoroel77 didin's say you didn't have a good voice, he just said your version music wasn't better than the original! if you want my opinion, i agree! when you post a video interpretation of a music, you have to prepair yourself to recieve not only good critics but also the bad ones, and accept both of them(i'm not talking about offensive ones).

  • aimfila

    You obviously do not pay attention or read very well. If you check any of Margie's videos she accepts criticism whether its good or bad. In fact I think she is a good sport about it. I have seen very little bad critics of her music and of the few that have said something negative. Most made no constructive valid point and what they said was flat out stupid or off the wall opinion. Check the facts before making statements is my advice to you. Peace

  • And "Get a life adoroel77 or better yet lets hear your Version so we can all critique you." ... PLLLEASSEEEEE, not only musiciens can apreciate music -.-

  • Wow!!! You blow me away. Super vocal control. Nice work.

    - Jim

  • I totally respect the way Tom and Scarlett sing the song. It is just a different way of singing it.  The chords are just C and F and with a little movement of the fingers if you would like more detail or help I would be happy to try and explain it more.

  • You have a beautiful voice but the vibe Scarlett and Tom were going for is felt much more by me in their songs than this. I found it too stereotypical and cliche.

  • Fantastic job! Could you tell me what chords you're using? They're different from the ones Tom Waits uses, but they definitely work....

    Thanks!

  • Your voice is a hella lot better than Scarlett, you put her to shame!

  • much better than scarlett.

    U gotta do something bout this talent

    very cool.

  • I think your voice has the ability to stretch through many genre's. Don't let people get you down!

  • You sing alot better than Scarlett, and you are better looking.

    Good job!

  • you're better than scarlett. they should have never given her the record deal.

  • Wow, where have you been hiding?

  • Hey Thanks! Ya I wish the desk was worth $15,000 especially since I am broke. lol

  • I am unsure if this was cleared up but his last name is Waits. I heard this song tonight for the 1st time at the Fox in St Louis and it was a big deal for me. You did a beautiful job covering the song that I thought headlined the concert!

    P.S. I applaud you for not doing porn. ha!

  • Did that say $15,000 for a computer desk? LOL woah someone comes from money

    I came up with one:

    Beating Scarlett Johansson's couple thousand dollar recording with a two minute YouTube video: Priceless :)

  • Yes it is by Tom Watts which he is awesome!! I would never do porn! I have morals and standards!!

  • It's a Tom Waits (not WATTS) song, not a Scarlett Johanssen song. Anyways, you should try for country, not a bad voice. Otherwise porn would be a great route.

  • Scarlet has a nice voice but she better stick to acting, we do not need anymore actress wannabe musicians.

  • tokun (1 day ago)

    ahah what a morons about music, this is not way better than scarlett version.

    SPOKEN BY a true idiot tokun who is a Scarlett Johannson ass kiss probably. You obviously know nothing about music this girl is playing acoustic and singing it VERY well at same time. You can have your OPINION that Scarlett Johansson's version is better but I think 80% who hear this will disagree with you. You are one of those people that will jump on any actor or actresses bandwagon.
