I liked her as an actress until she assumed she was allowed to cover Tommy. Prfft. Not going to get any more rude than that on a public forum. But, that's probably because I have to puke now. Blech.
Why does any halfway attractive chick think she can cover soulful songs? You have to have actually suffered in some real way to be able to songs like this properly. The closest she's probably ever come to sleeping on the street is when the Hilton was full and she had to go to the Radisson.
Oh My God this is so over produced (Bad). Stick with someone who can play an acoustic guitar like Pete York. Never use that producer again. You have a nice voice but you really can't tell with that electronic Bull-Shit playing as you sing. Of course I mean all of this with love. I hope this won't change how you feel about our upcomming date! lol.
C'mon guys, Tom Wait did not had a harmonic voice. This is a different version and a different kind of voice, it's not difficult to understand. Don't be haters, just enjoy if you can...
i know that she's aware that she sucks in singing but she could've took some singing lessons and practice all the time. that is one of the secrets of singers. she's still great, and now i realize that our Creator is fair. She's not perfect, in fact no one is.
Tom Waits is my favourite all-time artist, but this is incredible in its own right. Dave Sitek is one of the best contemporary producers and this, i think, is proof of this. Also, it would be so easy for her, as an a-list film star and a-list beauty, to produce a generic pop album, but she chose to create an homage to one of the defining artists of the last 50 years. I can't see how any Tom Waits fan can be offended by that sort of love - the exact same love we have for Mr Waits.
@LeireaArctos No, actually I liked this song enough to buy all the album. And I still think that it's a fascinating version of a beautiful song. She's not Tom Waits, she's never gonna be Tom Waits, but this doesn't mean that she cannot do a fairly good cover of his songs.
My god, I can respect the fact that she likes Tom waits enough to cover his stuff, but this is truly blasphemy- possibly my favorite Waits song, I did not ever need to hear this.........
jesus fucking christ. The whole point of the origional song was the combination of the deep bass instrument with Waits's epic voice, how they can just throw in a techno-ish beat and have some actress sing it makes me lose all faith in mankind.
If you're looking for the only decent cover of this song listen to the Bomb the Music Industry cover - it's just such a screechy punk mess that it works.
@Fannusz90, because she's fucking up a Tom Wait's song. She rips off other people and does them an injustice by performing it. she needs to write her own songs so she can ruin those. listen to her. she sounds terrible, and if you think she doesn't then you don't know jack about music. queen of the flat for having such big tits.
Then again ... I do love it when people translates words and music ... they make it move ... they make new ... they do it out of respect ... I am a TW-fan ... I like to see SJ on the screen ... I think she sings better than most ... I do love the fact that she is doing her thing on the man who can not be touched ... I am a truly dedicated TW-fan!!!
I love scarlett as an actress, and if i ever hear her singing properly maybe as a singer as well. the thing is, i cant really listen to her voice, the backing track is too loud. Not only on this song but all the others.?
@ChuhKok you have become the epitome of everything you hate she is great because the recognized it to begin with if I or u sing this song , it is enough. . we love it and we sing it . ..
My God this is the worst butchering of a Tom Waits song since Rod Stewart covered Downtown train! Please, listen to Waits' original version of this and you'll understand what I'm saying. Aside from being relatively attractive I have no idea why this girl is famous. Thanks for ruining a beautiful song.
@ogrady72 Scarlett Johansson sang the cover of tom waits song in her own way and it was good . So dont sass her just because it sounds different ! .And btw "aside from being attractive" she is an amazing actor , singer and person so i dont see y she should not be famous . niggz say wat ....pease
@ogrady72 It's another style of music. Some people like blues and others like pop, but it doesnt matter. i like both and at least its not an dulled-exact copy of the original version by tom waits. shes doing something different with it. ---and by the way shes an amazing actress, shes not some fucking paris hilton
I've never heard a cover miss the point to this extent. If I ever actually want to feel angry I will listen to this brutal murder of a beautiful Tom Waits song. Ugh
