  • 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.

  • My favorite part of this travesty was when I hit mute.

  • why don't you lay your head on my guillotine and I'll do us all a favor

  • The best thing here is the pictures. The sound sucks in all the ways possible.

  • well tom's not as good looking

  • 0:26 ahm isn't that picture scaring? i mean....

  • Gorgeous woman, stick to the acting though ;/

  • i dont think this is as bad as everyone thinks. people are just to used to the original.

  • @feedmecottoncandy Nope. Its pretty damn bad, actually.

  • This video is great...on mute.

  • uh, she's pretty, that's my comment

  • When false personality try to be true:(

  • awful..

  • terrible. I don't think anyone should be allowed to cover Waits.

  • 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.

  • why is that weird Tokyo beat in the back? it sounds out of place

  • She just needs more passion! That's the power of the original! Come ON Scarlett! This is about your soul!

  • 0:30 thats Charlize Theron on the left

  • this is rubbish

  • Youre a good actress Scarlett-dont wreck your image by singing flat and out of tune!

  • 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.

  • Just awful...

  • I'm sick now.  Good actress, yeah. Hot, yeah. But, don't fuck with Tommy. Blech.

  • check out her duets with Pete Yorn...pretty awesome stuff.

  • 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...

  • isn't that bad

  • Look, I know she's pretty but this is fucking awful.

  • 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.

  • nice woman.

  • THIS FUCKIN RULES

  • I'm sorry, but I hate her!

  • I don't really care what it sounds like, the fact she is a fan of Tom Waits is easily the most sexy thing in the history of humankind

  • 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.

  • ugh.

  • Yeah, why is Charlize Theron is this?????

  • Why Charlize Theron is in one of the photos? LOL

  • Stick to looking hot... you suck at this.

  • love scarlett & her boob , hate her singing xD

  • @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.

  • oh jeez...

    Scarlett is beautiful but she should probably just be a model. Her singing is not very good and her acting is not memorable.

  • all you haters need to get a grip. its obviously not gonna be tom waits, its still a good rendition, it still has that feeling of despair and loss

  • all you haters need to get a grip. its obviously not gonna be tom waits, its still a good rendition, it still has that feeling of despair and loss

  • @LeireaArctos I like it a lot !

  • ew what the hell?

  • 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.........

  • love tom waits and i don't like this cover

    but god DAYUM look at em

  • o god noooooooooo sorry

  • While admiitidy her covers are terrible, i still find it kinda cool that she's a Tom Waits fan

  • Yeah, it's a little sacrilegious. But worse is how she pronounces the name of the river Thames like "taymes". Poor show, Johansson. Poor show.

  • FUCK WHY DID ANYWUN LET DIS BITCH BUTCHER DIS FUCKIN SONG LIKE STICK TO BEIN A WHORE N NOT KILLED MUSIC FROM THE GREAT TOM WAITS

  • lol chalize theron

  • 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.

  • AHHH THIS IS HORRIBLE WHY WOULD SHE DO THIS! oh god it's so bad

  • This is nothing short of a crime.

  • Why in the hell do people think that they can pull off a Waits cover... 99% fail and fail hard. This is a train wreck from start to finish.

  • this song is gorgeous, as is the rest of this album

  • After the first line (which, I counted, had only 3-4 correct notes in it) I kinda lost all interest in this project.

  • fucking cunt. that's all I have to say.

  • 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.

  • Fuck, this is such trash.

  • she's beautiful, she's a good actress, but making a cover of tom wait's song it's too much. and bad. very bad.

  • NO ONE SHOULD COVER TOM WAITS! EVER!! GODDAMN IT THIS IS TERRIBLE

  • OMG!?!?! How awful is that??? o_O

  • what a horrible cunt

  • this is blasphemy...

  • @boksefrede118 why?

  • @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.

  • @Fannusz90 because this is the absolute worst cover of tom waits anyone has ever heard

  • @boksefrede118 THIS...IS...SPARTA!!

  • @boksefrede118

    THIS IS MADNESS!

  • @boksefrede118 Tom Waits approves. Trust me.

  • @boksefrede118

    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!!!

  • amazing! 

  • Fucking awful. Tom would turn in his grave... if he was dead. Which he isn't, but this piece of shit should be.

  • 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.?

  • Scarlett Jphansson is really pretty and everything, but im sorry, shes not a very good singer. Still love her tho

  • this is HORRIBLE. This could defeat Godzilla and destroy Tokyo.

  • You do not need to listen!!!

  • @Fannusz90

    You do not need to ANSWER!

  • @Fannusz90 It's poison.

  • @Fannusz90 Tell that to the poor Japanese who got trampled under a gigantic, reptile foot.

  • @Fannusz90 They had to listen before they could know it was horrible.

  • @ChuhKok This comment is probably the funniest shit I've ever read. Thanks for the laugh (& I agree it does sound pretty bad)

  • @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 . ..

  • Where have been all sound producers? It sounds as the very bad karaoke((

  • Sorry

  • fascinated album

  • 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 well she is a good actress in my opinion. horrible musician though.

  • Comment removed

  • @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

  • @ogrady72 relatively attractive? She is famous because she's a decent actor and one of the most beautiful women, ever.

    This cover is terrible, but i like some of her singing. Her falling down cover was good.

  • @Hamarin123456789 I agree, she's hot, i should've watched this video with the sound off.

  • 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

  • @Gazzhands don't know the Tom Waits song (or don't I recognize it lol) but this is just a crappy song :-((

  • 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 beautiful Tom Waits song. Ugh

  • This is a really good song. :D

  • @Fannusz90 no it's not, it's terrible

  • Love the song!! And Scarlett too of course ;)

  • yea i noticed that right away i guess the person who made this video dont know the differance lol

  • You're right, but now I've noticed.

  • at 0:31 that on the left is not Scarlett but Chalize Theron
