  • This is proof, that should stick to what you fucking know! I mean what the hell... You got money, beauty, fame - yet you can't tell yourself "all right, nothing justifies making a cover of a Buckley song"

  • Comment removed

  • just cause you're on the movin pictures doesn't give you the right to piss on a talent of a voice and well you just suck. stay away from legends and such and stop listening to hollywood agents cause you dont RESPECT legends, if you did you would not sing this..

  • SING ALONG--->>> This song is autottuunneedd, i can't stand to listen too this poo. But it's over all good music is gone, I wish Jeff was here to make a new good ssoonngg.

  • she can sing. everyone can sing if they really tried, xcept for some who are really just....tone deaf. Though shes a brilliant actress, not everyone can act. So whatever i have no conclusion to this comment fuck it

  • booooooooooooooring... 

  • our best blonde of nowadays

  • her Tom Waits cover of Falling Down is certainly alot better, i'd say.. this just doesn't hit the right feel...

  • i've been a hardcore jeff buckley fan for the last five years, and i must say even though this will never come close to the original, i kinda like it!

  • Obviously, Jeff Buckley fans are not lured by a pretty singing face with big tits.

    Hallelujah!

  • stupid cover. this one doesn´t add anything except for ´generic female vocals´ and the old ´switch in all instruments for piano´ trick

  • hmmm , i agree with the ear rape quotes

  • I think her voice is so unique and good. I think a lot of people don't like her voice just because they see her as an actress trying to sing. But she's amazing! She can act and sing! Unlike most actresses who try to singer or vice versa! For example beyonce cant act to save her life. She sounds like a female james morrison to me. I think her voice is nice

  • AHHHHH !!!!!!

    EAR RAPE ! EAR RAPE!

  • Come può chiunque avvicinarsi a qualunque cosa cantata anche una sola volta da Jeff Buckley?

    Per favore smettete di torturarci, per favore eliminate questo video

  • ...if you tried harder "your" words wouldn't stall you into your plastic frame.

  • ma dai, non è così male la sua voce... ovviamente è molto più brava come attrice... ma non è così male

  • THANKS....Pez & 360....Namedropper

  • I was thinking of something nice to say, but yeah - it's pretty bad.

  • i hope you get enough negative votes to go away from the jeff buckey video list..... anyway so emotionless........ AND BURN THAT PIANOOOOOO IT SUCKED A LOTTTTTTTTT

  • Such a generic voice. And no emotion whatsoever. 

  • my ears are violated!

  • omg. she shouldn't))

  • I like her voice, its just the cheesy piano stuff that ruins it. Sound like an american teenage soap intro.. It`s kind of like the David Letterman tonight show band doing a Tom Waits song..

  • Oh my God please leave Jeff Buckley rest in peace. It's terrible.

  • ...i like it

  • I actually expected this to be terrible, a trainwreck. This is my favorite Jeff Buckley song. I was prepared to be in a huff about it. She actually has a good voice, though. You guys are being unfair. She's not Jeff Buckley (nobody is Jeff Buckley), but it's not a terrible cover, and she's on pitch.

  • @averagenikki No one is Jeff Buckley! Not even Jeff Buckley is Jeff Buckly!

  • @CourtJackal001 No, Jeff Buckley isn't Jeff Buckly. He's Jeff Buckley. ;)

  • she shouldnt sing anymore

  • what in the fuck is this shit..

  • Really? Is she serious? Is she proud of that? No no this is just so messed up!

  • you guys can't expect her to start belting out this song like jeff buckley, she's giving her interpretation of the song and frankly, I'm not too disappointed, woulld have like to have heard a little bit more force since she's got such a wonderful nuance in her voice. Sorry kids, but this girl has a good voice. she's multi talented and you can't hate on someone for that. Off the top of my head I can't tell you any movies she's been in, but I know her name and know she's an actress. She's OK!!

  • @ShelliKittens Agreed, no one could ever top the Buckley version, but this could have been much worse

  • she is singing.

  • she cant sing

  • no

  • no

  • awful. simply awful.

  • If I didn't want to beat her head in before now . . . this tipped the scale. How dare she? Scarlett, stick to what you know. Poor acting and your tits.

  • This is utter shit hahahaha. To think that the woman refused to tour and then she fucks this song up hahahahah!

    YOU DONT MAKE A CD OR CALL YOURSELF A MUSICIAN IF YOU DONT WANT TO PLAY LIVE! She sings just like so many other girls, boring as hell

  • this week i had to listen 2 bullshits. this and the cover by Maroon 5 for Closer by NIN . fuck off all party bullshit band and Hollywood stupid stars. let rock and punk alive!!!

  • She's hot so..

  • This is great!!

  • she's just trying to express her self. not bad. we're just so fascinated how jeff buckley did it that is why. i bet every one here would like to record a song of Jeff Buckley.

  • horrible.. just.. horrible..

  • not bad.. not jeff no doubt!.. but not bad... i bet if she WASNT famous this would have 99% "like"

  • C'mon guys it's not that bad, I've listened to Jeff for a while and know his songs word by word and this isn't bad really if you actually listen to it. She obviously loves Jeff. Except her voice does drag more than it should. it does sound a little broadway. But it doesn't deserve nearly half thumbs down

  • everyone is way over analytical here....it's a chick that loves the track and wants to sing it..and really hasn't done anything wrong except show she has a decent taste for the arts....lighten up....there are worse things done to good music....

  • @MetalFuzzz Really? Like what?

  • I love how self proclaimed music purists feel they are somehow an authority on what sounds good. Stick to critiqing the garbage you enjoy at the coffee house with the other twenty five or so like minded fans. Beautiful cover on this one Scarlett, Bravo!

  • @WyomingQuarterhorse Hey cowboy the garbage I enjoy at the coffee house is Jeff Buckley!

  • ok maybe she´s a good actress but i dont like, the way she sing is like triying to interpret this song, listen the work ; but not the feeling, maybe if we never meet the beautiful expresion of jeff, maybe we will like this but sorry Scarlett good triying but just that

  • Good god, you people are afflicted by something that borders on religious fanaticism. If you'd never heard Jeff Buckley do this you wouldn't have any problem with this recording. Then if someone other than Scarlett did it most likely you'd be saying "It lacks this, it lacks that...anyone but Scarlett Johansson doing this song is a desecration blah blah..."

    You're wrong. Get over it.

  • no fucking way. this has ruined my day.

  • @h3yGEORGIA If that's true you seriously need to examine your life.

  • Don't record a Jeff Buckley song, don't ever,ever record a Jeff Buckley song not one person on the planet can do a Jeff Buckley song justice. The niciest T & A, smile, personality whatever wont help. ScarJo is so hot it's just hard to really beat up someone as fine as her, but she was working on beating herself up.

  • Two kinds of people. People who are passionate Buckley fans; for them, by definition, automatically, no cover of any Buckley song will ever be anything but an insult at best, a desecration at worst. And people who are able to listen to this song as they'd listen to any other. Not as a cover. Not as Buckley. Just a song. The abuse here from the first group is vile, violent, and ugly. It's also meaningless; all fanaticism is. For the second group, it's a nice song. Scarlett does nice job.

  • @ChandlerBurr you should run for office

  • Right. I'm a just Jeff Buckley fan. This cover, although well-produced (and most probably slightly autotuned), sounds, well, quite anonymous to me. It lacks Mr Buckley's subtle inflexions and irony.

  • She is a lovely girl, maybe a cool person (I mean she likes Buckley, right?) but this is not very good...............

  • never fuck with jeff. EVER.

  • @Laurenwasinyourface lmfaoo YOU SAID IT!!! It sounds like a Different Song!

  • scarlett johansson, you're a pretty face, but don't fuck with my jeff buckley...

  • didnt think it was that bad at all

  • HEY! DID YOU SAY, "NO THIS CAN'T HAPPEN TO ME!"? If its okay to take a beautiful person and give them a record deal, why don't we cast musicians in movies because they're nice to listen to? "Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the kitchen, Thom York and and the dudes from the Black Keys are 'MAKIN SAMMICHES'. Rated PG13 for unconventional looking people."

  • oh dear god

  • yeah, sorry, she's hot as hell, but this version just doesn't do it for me AT ALL? what the hell was she thinking?

  • I'm actually revolted. I just... I can't...

  • is this chick that big of an asshole that she would even try to cover this JB song. well, i guess so. fuck it, speilberg and lucas raped indy, why the fuck shouldnt we all do it?

  • @stupidhurts13 spielberg and lucas brought you indy in the first place..they can rape it if they want lmao and shes just covering a song..im sure she knew she couldnt compare to buckley...but im also sure buckley wouldve been flattered that people were covering his songs...and she didnt sing it all that bad either you trolll douche

  • Comment removed

  • is everyone deaf? She is awesome. Great talent and a great version. jesus fans get so precious about their idols. i love Jeff. music is not a competition and you are losing out if you make it so. This is brilliant really enjoyed it. Shows she aint just a pair of tits.

  • I love to look at pictures of Scarlett Johansson and listen to Jeff Buckley sing.

  • una merda.

  • I'll be honest. This woman has a pretty voice but I've been hearing to Jeff for so long that I can see that she can't feel the same he felt when he sang. She is really pretty but I think she doesn't sing well.

  • this shit sucks no more jeff buckley covers please

  • URGH. Stick to being reasonably good looking and acting the same character in every movie please.

  • stick to acting, or whatever it is that you do...please stay the F%*k from Jeff Buckley songs...

  • @wmchase65 you should be ashamed of yourself.

  • @wmchase65 why are you being so rude about it. dont you have somthing better to do than put others down and you should stay the fuck away from this video if you dont like it.

  • @wmchase65 atleast shes showing her respect and love for Jeff Buckley id say you do the same instead of talking shit, think before you speak.

  • @ajhernandez1728 @ajhernandez1728 Respect? C'mon! This was just an abortive attempt at making bucks. 

  • Kinda like the shit Tori Amos keeps throwing at us. But only much worse and without the only saving grace of the awesome piano.

  • You killed it, honey.

  • Yeah I really don't like this version. At all. And I'm sick of seeing these women cover rock songs that sound all pretty but, there's just something LACKING. Just because the voice sounds pretty doesn't mean the performance is good. I agree about the cheap-lounge version comment.

  • Doesn't sound like her, at all.

  • She's easily the hottest girl ever!

  • she is a beautiful human being

  • Well, I think it's amply emotive; not sure why she cut out so many of the lyrics, and she's not the singer Jeff Buckley was but then nobody is. All in all I'd say she proved there's more to her life than being really, really, really, ridiculously good looking.

  • This is like a cheap lounge version of an incredible song. She's not a terrible singer, but she definitely doesn't fully understand the emotion of this song.

  • Comment removed

  • @JeSuisDonaldDuck You deserve to have your fingers slowly removed by a blunt knife for cursing the internet with your blasphemy. Die.. Idiot.

  • @tzcxgfyt ...hey, don't hold back, tell him how you really feel...(kidding)

    ...didn't know Donald Duck was such an asshole...

  • imitation is one of the greatest forms of flattery. sadly, this is imitation, and flattery is death.

  • Oh My god..

  • its incredible how her voice sounds like adele"s, to me anyway...

  • dont give up the day job any time soon.did she even hear the original - butchered

  • like the original better....but shes not terrible, her voice actually isnt that bad. i have to say im surprised.

  • Terrible is the only word for it.

  • Absolutely butchering the song. She should definitely stop doing music... It's not even like a "quit while you're ahead"... It's just a "Please shut the fuck up.. You are shit" thing...

  • @tzcxgfyt genius comment

  • Have to agree with temikalols sing as many Jeff Buckley tunes as you want (when you perform or are alone) cause Jeff is a definate musical genius and one of the greatest singers to have lived, but NEVER,NEVER,NEVER record and put a Jeff Buckly tune on the internet or youtube for the world to hear, you will get slammed. Scarlett do what you do best shake the T & A and make the men jerk to your pictures.

  • I kinda like her voice but this is sort of a farce, I mean ScarJo doing a Jeff Buckley tune is nearly like comparing a retarded person to a Harvard valedictorian.

  • And anyway, people make a bunch of money off others creative projects.... especially with that catchy piano rhythm... you cannot forge through a Jeff Buckley.

  • I think she has the potential to recreate this song... BUT it's way deeper than she has the ability to reach when she created this version.

  • This is much better than the original.

  • @JeSuisDonaldDuck Are you kidding?

  • @pattyjohnmarlin No, I'm not. I genuinely believe that.

  • @JeSuisDonaldDuck You have got to de kidding

  • WTF

  • this is a crap.

  • God, poeple should know better than sing a song from someone so tallented like jeff...this doesnt even compare to the original... I have to say...she ruined the song

  • no one can top Jeff

  • It's pretty good, but that's all. It's "pretty good". I think considering Jeff Buckley was known not only for his song writing, but also his ability to sing mind-blowing covers of already iconic songs (just listen to Lilac Wine or Hallelujah), if you can't cover a Jeff Buckley song and do better than "pretty good", you shouldn't do it at all.

  • crap

  • yeah, she's not jeff, but this song is pretty heavy to sing. she's not bad at all.

  • Well..... at least she has good taste in music. lol

  • Shes obviously no Jeff Buckley... just be glad she has good taste in music.

  • Comment removed

  • she just kill for second time to jeff buckley

  • I dont thing she`s such a good actress, but as musician shes 0. she ruined this song.

  • Pretentious and forced vocals. Way to mess up a song that didn't need messing with.

  • Never mind comparisons to Jeff Buckley, she's singing without any evident passion at all. She sounds like she's auditioning for a broadway show.

    

  • she sounds like a pre socialist german cabaret singer who, in a couple of measures, evolves into a modern jazz songstress. i think it's great. i would like to hear what she could do with nico's treatment of "these days".

  • She sounds like she's completely bored to sing this song... I almost fell asleep!

  • There's just no emotion, she's taken a song filled with passion and made it emotionally empty.

  • Comment removed

  • Scarlett man is she sexy, why not cover one of the greatest sexiest singers thatd ever lived. The rendition is not to be compared to Jeff cause to compare anything Jeff did to anyone else is wrong. He's to gifted but I like ScarJo!

  • ew, i couldn't even listen until the end.

  • Wow. Honestly to me Scarlett is so beautiful and I love her as an actress, then I find out that she can sing. She just wants to share her love for the song, I mean when you listen to it don't you sing along? I think she did great. I look up to you girl.

  • THIS IS SEXY

    

  • Nice tits.

  • Even thought I am a huge fan of Jeff and Last goodbye is probably my most beloved song ever, I can't say that Scarlett did wrong, because you know, when a musician makes a cover, it is mostly because they want to show honour and give some kind of tribute. I can't say i like it, but it isn't bad at all :)

  • absolutely terrible arrangement, but she can sing...and she picked a good song to cover...but there is just no way anyone can actually come close to doing his songs as well as he did.

  • the original version is my favourite song in the world but i also love this version, she did a great job <3

  • she's gorgeous and she like jeff buckley? whatelse more does a man need?

    ...

    all the dislikes are from girls MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

  • @Migas128 actually, i didn't like it. the original version is just... too good.

  • @Migas128 Well, i'm a girl. I like JB. And i like SJ much more. I LIKE it.

  • @PaulaJonesIII ahah dont want to offend girls i was just htripping having fun ihihih

  • I actually like her voice but its a shame she has buggered up one of my all time favourite tracks ......stop this nonsense you bad bad girl !!

  • this sounds horrible lol

  • Beautiful!!!

  • this hasn't had heart&soul put into it, unlike jeff's.

  • a lot of people speak but they can't sing like her...

  • you have raped music Scarlett.

  • This is a really good start. I hope she sticks with it. I'd like to hear her in ten or twenty years.

  • Please stick to acting.

  • Su voz es tan deliciosamente dulce, sexy y blue.

  • uhm i love scarlett and her voice is quite good but this sounds like elevator music.

  • well id still do her

  • anytime i hear a cover of jeff it pisses me off. it just sounds pretentious.

  • what a piece of ass

  • wow...she has a great voice!

  • It's not bad.

    Comparing this to the original is like matching black and white, can't do that, not fair. I had no idea she could sing.

  • It's not bad.

    Comparing this to the original is like matching black and white, can't do that, not fair.

  • this is.....an abomination!

  • Not to bad actually.I dont really like her voice but she did ok on this song.

  • This is great, everyone's retarded.

  • amazing tits.

  • Her voice is nice....but I can't help myself comparing it to the original...and it just doesn't compare...sorry Scarlett:-(

  • mmm beautiful. love her voice

  • she ain't horrible. just not good either

  • Way overcooked. Too much cheese on that sandwich.

  • @hueseph no idea what that means but she should have stayed in the kitchen

  • ...actually, feels heart felt. Jeff's originals are Way hard. Good going, love.

  • She's pretentiously overjerking the song.

  • ;( Jeff nooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • Sounds a little like Norah Jones in some moments but here, this voice produced is way different then her live........way way way way different, that this almost doesn't sound like her at all. Although she has a pretty voice, I can't say if I'm convinced yet... or will be in the future. There are a lot of talented singers out there who have been out there a long time and would die to book a gig or record with famous people, but don't have the name behind them. My opinion let's help them first!

  • Scarlett is giving a tribute, respect that....

  • My favorite JB song - never heard her sing. Frankly, works for me.

  • so confused.

  • She's hot enough to make shitty music and get away with it.

  • I like Scarlett but her covering an iconic Jeff Buckley song is gonna give her the 'Hoe sit down' treatment. Let Jeff rest in peace and leave his songs alone.
