  • Whaaa! chickenskin! goosebumps! kippenvel! Wat mooi...

  • it just sounds like duffy

  • God that song left me shaking well over half and hour after it was over :O

  • Ghey, slow, boring, uneventful

  • duffy ?!!! you do some thing to me .. do you know what you have done ?!!! pls dont do it again to me .. becouse i like Weller`s version much LOL .. duffy its awful

  • I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! She has her own style and it works.

  • i like duffy but you dont get the same feeling then you with Wellers original

  • its her comfortable key twat

  • Gash. Leave top tunes alone if this is what you are going to do to them. Please.

  • omg! awful!! o.O

  • you go larry the lamb.

  • Duffy is like a female Gary Numan, there's a little bit of tune in there but you have to lisen long and hard. Weak. Weak. Weak.

  • fucking awful

  • Yeah Daffy duck can sing!!! I always knew!! (or is it his little nice?? )

  • Crapston Villas

  • um, this sucks..

  • Yukk

  • crap worst cover of this classic song i have heard

  • Probably the best cover was Michael Collings version on Britain's Got Talent semi final... that was a great version that got close to giving the original the respect it deserves.

  • Omg... Daffy nice cover but your vibrato on this song is sound like our folklore singers in tradicional wedding ceremony.

  • great song shit cover

  • murdered a fuckin great song

  • adele and duffy sound as good as each other 

  • Nah.......What a load of Bollox!! That's really taken the soul of out of a classic!!!! Even Adele felt she couldn't improve or even match on the original!! And SHE has a hell of a talent!!

  • Frigging terrible version, could she exasserbate the notes any more?

  • If I didn't here the original...I'd probably like it. Maybe some songs should be alone. It just hasn't got the soul of the original Weller version. Could have imagined Amy Winehouse doing this. That would have been awesome!!

  • Weller all the way..as MC hammer said ÿou can't touch this"lets leave it there..

  • another 'meh' cover, not awful but not really worth doing either!

  • Duffy sabija bre.Dafi ozenicu te kad dodjes u Srbiju!!!

    Aj sad za ove pedere...

    Duffy i love you.

  • Urgh, what a terrible voice.

  • im a huge weller fan. whoever arranged this should be shot, doubt it was duffy

  • Jesus what he fuck is that tripe?

  • I never thought this beautiful song could be ruined but Duffy has managed to turn it into aural diarrhea.

  • Ruined it.

  • Comment removed

  • terrible...

  • Adele's better :D

  • Amazing Duffy! <3 Favorite <3

  • Way too much vibrato.. and thats my problem with most of her stuff.. she also sounds like she's got a cold in this vid

  • @jamievespa Yes, too much vibrato

  • I love her cover!

  • No, just no. She sings the notes she wants to sing, but it's a lifeless, emotionless performance with absolutely no momentum to it. Don't think the brass helps it either...

  • Ruined the fucking song.. silly cow just stretches every note ruining the whole feeling of the song... silly bitch stick to singing bull shit.. even Adeles version was bull shit.. Paul's version was the best.. sung with such feeling.. its like driving a Ferrari for a day then getting on the tube.. ridiculous

  • her vibrato pisses me off.

  • @DemiJoMorcom word...it's so annoying, and it's making me nervous...Duffy you better stick to the fuckin' kitchen...

  • @maredox lool!

  • WOW

    

  • Vocal gymnastics!!!! just sing it bloody straight women Arrrrgggg

  • i think someones got their hand up her bum. Keith Harris?

  • Nah, this version doesn;t do anything for me... I perfer Paul Weller's original, his seems to flow better, you can feel the passion in his voice. Duffy seems to be focusing on making her voice sound 'jumpy', if you know what I mean.

  • I love the brit fem singers. Adele, lily Allen, dido, and duffy. My favorite brit fem singers.

  • shit,,,

  • fucking frog what are u doing

  • this is funny hahahh :D

  • I love Duffy's version. It didn't sound like she was struggling to me. This is the most amazing lady of our time.

  • Works for me, and bollocks to the nay sayers. I'm sure the Modfather would appreciate it too.

  • SHE IS TRYIN ITS A FUCKIN HARD SONG TO SING

  • it's a good cover but whoever says shes singing it better than weller needs to put the crack pipe down...

  • Oh dear what is she doing to this fucking great song... This is so Weller's song.

  • Weller will never ever be out done on this... just forget about it!!

  • what is the matter with her voice?? dont like this version, yet to find a good cover of amazing Weller!

  • Fu*k me i think old weller has written a song only he can truely master, no other singer does this song justice.

  • duffy! please cut back on the vibrato. you didn't sing like this early on in your career.

  • @strooka I agree. It's what all singers suffer from these days. They perform vocal acrobatics when they should be keeping it simple. Singing straight is usually much more powerful than showing off like this.

  • @whitbyjet65 +1, some songs, like this, don't need any special vocal skills, just emotion, which most artists lack nowadays...

  • Her vibrating donald duck voice is good for looney tunes not for covering serious songs like this,women should'nt even try to sing that song its a male song.

  • THE ELEVENTH COMANDMENT SHALL BE. GARBAGE SHALL NOT IMITATE MOD!

    WHO THE FUCK IS THIS TONE DEAF DONKEY?

    PERHAPS I COULD MAKE MONEY FARTING ON TAPE IF THIS TERRIBLE COVER GETS AIRPLAY!

  • @staceyduch someone clearly has issues lol

  • @ScFiScienceBoy...if she could sing i would understand, but this is the most terrible cover of the MODFATHER i have ever heard.

  • @staceyduch if? lol shes a very good singer and has a very unique voice, I mean please if you can do any better why not upload a video?

  • duffy just smashed it!!!

  • I prefer Adeles version..although i am a Duffy fan,Adele captured the mood & tone much better

  • rubbish wobbling like a melting jelly i will stick with Adele

  • Need to throw a piano on the start of this. She gets the mood of the song totally wrong, though I do like Duffy.

  • Wonderful!

  • the reason this is "better" than adele's is that it's in a higher key. adele sang it in the original, deeper, melancholy key.

  • you can improve on the genius that is Weller!!!!

  • Vrlo emotivno,Duffy bas ume to ;)

  • Wow I like this one so much

  • good singer prolly but I dont like.. too much helium and silly vibrato which Im not used to.

  • @jonnytheoasisfan Spot on far to much vibrato ruined it for me, she has a powerful voice but tries to much and over complicates things.

  • @ukandoittowithkandoo

    Yeah weird and quite interesting.. but weller also created his "wnb"Soul voice after The Style Council.

    or maybe he just made it sound more grown up. anyways It works fine for me

  • It is obviously a great song. Duffy's version get's much better farther into the song. Imagine a real singer like Aretha or Warwick with this. Weller may have out done Bacharach on this one.

    Con

  • she sounds like barbie on helium, an utter car crash of a vocal!

  • was average ... can never compare to the modfather

  • needs to get some original material, covers arnt that creative. and her voice isnt that good , duffy got on the amy whinehouse band wagon

  • KOCHAM TO

  • KOCHAM TO

  • Nice to have Pauls' validation - he specifically got her in to support him at the teenage cancer trust gig because he likes her voice. So do I.

  • No,,,,No,,,,No,,,, I like duffy but this song doesn't suit her style, a poor cover of a great song. Maybe if it had more pace she could have got away with it but the slow warbling killed it for me

  • This is a fantastic cover ^_^; She has such amazing control over her voice, loving the slow vibrato! xxx

  • mmm so so...!!!!

  • She' s like kittie :)

  • I've got goosebumps... she's amazing :)

  • i do like duffys music but this is awful.. her voice doesnt suit it at all... fuckin shit.. no offence duffy

  • I like Duffy - which is why I wanted to hear this. But sorry, she should be up on in court for that because Christ! She murdered a classic!

  • not liking the tremblings at ends but she got a great voice to sing this song

  • Chip monk springs to mind here! Sorry.

  • brilliant!

  • Fucking stupid Daffy Duck impression voice....Jesus, my ears my ears.....enough! Cease and Desist order in the post love......

  • @Eightball69 don't listen then!

  • she does a good job on a difficult song, Weller's the man but Duffy's damn good too :)

  • I never liked Duffy....now I hate her....sorry. She killed a wonderful song with a Micky-Mouse-Voice...

  • i agree with you.... horrible cover

  • Love it

  • Duffy is the best anyway.

    Her voice is voice of an angel.

    Greatings from Serbia!

  • Duffy sounds like "Mini Mouse" against Paul Weller..

    Sorry but this is an PW Song"!

    But i like Duffys Northern Soul Sound!

    Greetings from Berlin

  • its a good try - but noone can touch the origional! the origional has some sort of honesty and truth to it..if you know what i mean!

  • very good

  • Critics of this or other work from Duffy don't get what she or songs are about, which is performing songs purely as songs, without vanity, but with the authenticity of her powerful and unique vocal expression. A true vocal talent.

  • I love duffy but this just isnt in the same league as the main man!

    Please dont tell me shes done this one live lol

  • Ya'll need to fall back. I just listened to Paul Weller (The Original) and I gotta say - I'm feeling Duffy's. Her voice is not 'ducky' it's buttery and melancohly. Duffy, sistah, keep doing your thing. It's called MOTIVATION.... Haters. PLEASE... Stay on your jobs!

  • I can't believe it's not butter!

  • It's not that bad - calm down, dears.

    Funny thing is that Adele struggled with it too on that 6 Music hub session with Weller. It's written in a weird key and tempo that suits Weller's gruff soul style but most others will flounder a bit it seems.

    But it really is not so bad as some of the dahhhlings on here seem to be pissing themselves over.

  • @speedyvespa she changed the key ;) i love the powerful notes but the lifetime-vibrato still sucks

  • @speedyvespa in a weird key? you do know what a key is, right?

  • @surrealIdeal LOL, great comment.

  • nawt wrong with this think its a class try :)

  • not as good as the original, but pretty good.

  • Comment removed

  • OMG what has she done to this song!

  • this is terrible

  • this is horrific. absolutely ruined a classic song

  • VIBRATO OVERKILL

  • this is brilliant!!!!!

  • doesnt suit this song.. not even a little bit

  • a good try but not quite as good as the original.

  • Why compare, both original and this version are great.

  • fuck! i hated her voice!

  • I think Duffys version is better than the original, my opinion.

  • Good singer, original voice, but she rapes the song imo.

    Nobody does it like Weller! the power, the emotion...

  • oh dear...

  • Jobbies!!

  • i luv her jazzy sound its so old skool its fab but the vibrato on this is kinda like an old sheep... not as nice as her other songs, but good on her for givin it a go

  • i have listened 2 the other covers of this song and also the original by paul weller, in my opinion Duffys is the best version but only casue i am a massive Duffy fan

  • even as a duffy fan i think its a bit far to say this is better than the version by the weller

  • The song was slow enough to begin with and she slowed it down even more. No need.

  • she did something terrrriblllllle to this song :(

  • I love it (:

    She gives it a different feel, judge it like you would a new song, not by the original.

    It's great (:

    x

  • Murdered

  • Good god thats awful...

  • Bloody hell, that's awful.

  • A mon goût: horrible, hard to listen to (too much viiiiiiibraaaaaaaaaaaatoooooo)­fabriqué. ; (

  • It's not the vibrato, the song's not for her.

  • after hearing this i am glad paul chose adele in front of duffy for his bbc radio 6 session he was offered both i think he made the right choice this is awful .....

  • Murder of a epic song

    Her voice is horrible

  • Lindaaaaaaaaaa

  • This is a Love song from a Man to a Woman, Duffy just not do it justice.

  • BEAUTIFUL..i cant stop listening...

  • It's hard work listening to this....

  • the worst version i ever heard,

  • class

  • I think this version rocks.She puts so much emotion and concentration into the performance and tells the story beautifully!

    Anyone rubbishing Duffy's take on this song is obviously biased,a pretentious purist at best!

  • really beautiful version of the song and i agree with aldasinger we shouldnt judge it by the original as duffy and given if a completly different feel which i find stunning. id like to see some of you lot do a better job!

  • I love listening to Duffy's version of this song every week or so...I wonder where I can buy it? I NEVER get tired of hearing her rendition...Duffy ROCKS!

  • I thought it was great. I think she captured the meaning and essence. Only thing, I hated the clarinet and trumpets- stick to the godamn strings!

  • ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!

    I couldn't even listen the whole of it.. ouch!

  • Her voice is horrible! She ruined this song!

  • fucking horrible !!!!!!!!!!! disgusting

  • This is fantastic....Duffy captured the passion of the song. Paul Weller has done this while playing piano and also just playing guitar....so even he has his own 'take' on the song! I do like Adele, but Duffy does this much better than Adele with Paul.

  • i love weller and so find this extreamly offensive

  • <33333

    im lovin' it =]

    love her!!

    shes incredible =]

    xox

  • this is one of my favourite songs of all time, so i was sceptical when i saw the video title, but i have to say i love this version,
