Stars - This Charming Man (The Smiths)

[chacho6011]

great cover ,different but very good morrissey would be proud.

[PinchofPsychedelic]

Nice



[MarkARecio]

This is a great remaking of the song. This song has style just like the notable and famous true artist "Morrissey."

[MarkARecio]

@MarkARecio

I rate this song an 8, and Morrisey, the true artist, a 10.

[cogdesign]

Overall, a great, ORIGINAl, cover. I don't think they were trying to sound the same as Morrissey....

[m0zc0re]

It's rather good apart from the fact that there is absolutely no change at the chorus. Gives it a pretty bland feel right at the moment that you're expecting a shift in sound.

[phantompenguin]

sup with the baby

[MrArning]

@phantompenguin she must be somebody's daughter

[SVNGRBR]

fucking cheap.nobody can sing it better than morrissey! :p

[coldmayy]

cute

[SeamoreAwesome]

I like Stars, but I don't like this.

[tripeleich]

Good version, a personal one and aint no problem with that.

[georgidw]

very interesting

[kebyonatin]

bad... bad bass.......

[TheBonnyface]

fantastic arrangement. loved it from start to finish. proves that when you're doin a cover you don;t have to do it the same note for note

[yennikcire]

like it alot! great rendition!

[Jimbobmcsquarepants]

It's different, but I like it! I prefer it with Mozza and Johnny Marr though.

[Gunslinger48]

I think they made this song very charming..I love the original..but this version is so chill..beautiful even..relax a bit fellas..let the smooth baseline and melody flow..

[RyanDuhkha]

This makes want to die. The worst cover i've heard in years.

[jodeteyutuv]

u guys just take the soul out of the song...

[yennikcire]

you mean the gay, you definitely mean the gay.

[roby4real]

absolutely horrible.

canadians can and have never done anything right. its a damn shame.

[samdillingham]

At least they did their own take on it, this shits all over death cabs cover.

[spakey1983]

This is really BAD! this video should be destroyed at once! I need a fellowship to take this video to mordoor where it will be cast into the depths of the volcano. Who's with me?

[PHANTASTIKMUSIK]

Oh gosh...its not that serious. Ive been a Smiths fan for more than half my life and Im 30. Ive heard alot of bad Smiths and Morrissey cover and this is not one of them!

[HoracioGo15]

agree!video editing is trash!lol

[Gunslinger48]

Wow..you went with Lord of the rings reference..that's just sad...

[spakey1983]

Do you not agree that this is a piss poor cover?

[oogamooga]

This sucks

[monicaz189]

haha ikr

[stoyscov]

Suck

[gromitt3]

eeeeep, what the hell is this, get off the bandwagon bitchoes and leave the original be !

[PHANTASTIKMUSIK]

They are not on any bandwagon...they did this song nearly 10 years ago! Its actually one of the better Smiths covers around.

[farrygisher]

fuck off and die! shockingly bad

[BloggerMusicMan]

Not a bad cover, their a talented band, although I think the phrasing is a little weird, maybe it's just because I'm so used to The Smiths version. The instrumental ideas are solid though.

[rpm12017]

It sounded like the beginning of a good remix that went nowhere: a couple piano chords & drums on loop, make the verse fit w/ beat, break w/ beginning guitar riff, repeat, end. Different, though. 'A' for effort!

[PHANTASTIKMUSIK]

Listen to the studio version of the song...much better!

[erinmerle]

there are more than two chords to this song

[jameslopate]

language. A good translation is a creative act. Because things cannot be truly translated. The translator conveys meaning within the new language by using the linguistic wealth of that very language. In others words the Torah or the Koran are not the same book that they are in the original language. The translator rewrites the original work in a different language. Likewise the cover artist is translating the original song into his own language. He must do that for the cover to have any merit!

[jameslopate]

Covers should be a musical expansion of the original. It should open unopened doors go places where previous musicians haven't gone. If I want to listen to a cover that sounds just like The Smiths I'd rather listen to the real thing. Thus the artist covering a song must make it his own. This is a great cover that reinvented the song and took it to new levels and new places. That's what covers are all about. Covers are like translations. They are not mere acts of repetition in a different....

[arxsyn]

I agree that Stars did a fabulous job in making the song their own and make it a flawlessly cohesive piece on their debut LP Nightsongs. Nightsongs was recorded/mastered with a decidedly cold, distant, cynical tone and I prefer Stars' live revisits to this older material, now performed with their trademark unabashedly unrestrained lush instrumentation.

[QuickFolio]

So...What is a remix and a mesh up?

[BlackShallows]

they fucked this up.

[theroob]

Smiths are a hard band to cover and get right, it can become a bad morrisey impression, or can totally not sound anything like the original at all. Good smiths covers surf a line somewhere in between. This one is OK, the songs not butchered, but it doesn't really shine like Death cab's version.

[kapibaramouse]

heaven knows they were wronged. nothing to do about it.

[MandaBuckley]

I love the Smiths and feel really excited to hear this amazing cover. I've since listened to lots of Stars tracks and think they are truly the best band I have heard for ages! ( except for the Smiths!) the back projection at this gig reminds me lots of the Smiths artwork., I want to find out more about this band and IF THEY ARE COMING TO THE UK I think their style is just perfect for me.

Thanks Stars for making me excited about music again!

Thanks video person for filming this song!

[Deflaybourisc]

heaven knows im miserable now after watchin dat

[paintingpictures]

Their musical style does not fit with this song at all.

[janitor5025]

beautiful video, seriously. amazing.

[qtipsch]

It's in the wrong tone for the songs meaning, god damnit!

[Opeth619]

WTF.....

[Aracatamus]

Sucks ass, The Smiths rule, but not this detritus

[kennytheblurfan]

I love the smiths, im from manchester, (their hometown for them who dont know)

but i gotta say i love this version.

but obviously not as much as the original

[mozzyboy01]

No, not awful just very mellow. I could listen to this on a Sunday morning sipping my coffee on my deck in my undies.

Over all not bad, just very different.

[MarkARecio]

@mozzyboy01

I agree, "not bad," but with a unique style to it.

[fcouk]

I like the instrumental background music :)

[jawesome1]

they suck. i hope that audience just happened to be passing by, and didn't pay money to see this.

[destructorcreator]

Fucking terrible.

[nunzioforpresident]

awful cover :(

[eacey]

Its hard to touch Morriseys vocals

[gooner1804]

so hard to cover this classic song, but they've done a really good, unique job. hats off to them

[w1ktor]

nice version!

[eipxen]

this was awesome! woot wustock!

[tannerlin]
