Do you ever have the reaction of tightening your groin and trying to squeeze the hemorrhoids back into orbit? I get this reaction when I see horrible gore, TV surgeries and children being abused. That was so painful that I am still trying to exhale....but then again, maybe it's just because I'm a girl.
I didn't think it was that bad. I think her voice is distinctive in a good way. It would have helped if the song was moved up a couple of keys to better suit her range.
Is it just me, or did it look and sound as if Scarjo was making poopies when she sang it?
Look, I appreciate TW songs. It's just that, umm, a girl singing TW shouldn't be trying to sound like TW. It's not a very flattering way for a girl to sing.
Outfit terrible. My hubby, for the first time in his life, did not want his penis anywhere near her. Oh yeah, Scarlett honey. Don't sing and make poopies.
22:03:55; WTF? I guess we should say that Britney is a great singer when the music is in her range too. This fug has a man voice and probably man hands.
Truth of the matter is, if any of you heard that song without knowing who it is you would like it. Her voice, which has a raw sound to it, goes great with that song. Who has a rawer sound than Tom Waits? I would be willing to bet that only one or two of you, Jenny included, know who Tom Waits is. You're just a bunch of mindless drones playing follow the leader.
It was like a special olmpics singing competition. Then, somewhere in the middle of the song she picks up this thing and shakes it around; only it's not a penis this time.
I know it's more fun to make fun of celebrities and all, but really the version of the Waits song wasn't bad. She is sort of like an updated Nico. It's kind of sad how much everyone rushes to pigeonhole to the point that they don't make up their own opinions. I bet all the people who "hated" this song also think Dane Cook is "hilarious" and that most female celebrities are "fat."
I know this site is all about knee-jerk celeb slagging, and that's fine if that helps you through your day, but I really thought she did a fine job. I think her straightforward, somewhat husky voice does the songs justice.
i definitely dislike her as an actress. and call me crazy, but i like this version. she's has an interesting voice, and compared to 97% of the shit that's on the radio, this is far superior. not saying she's amazing, but i definitely enjoy this song.
It's not that bad. And yes, I mean it. If it were some butt ugly folk singer, and not Scarlett Johansson, it would probably sell. It's the strange conflict of a hot broad sounding like someone threw a drunk and high Natalie Merchant and Crissie Hynde in a blender while slowing the speed down. *shrug*
I don't get it. I loved this song. I'm no ScarJo fan, but I thought this was really cool. I do love Tom Waits so maybe I'm partial, though.
I like that she didn't try to over sing it. It was just a cool, laid back song. Tom Waits isn't really about singing well, it's about the words and the emotions. I think she did a great job. And I usually hate everyone and everything.
hahaha she sucks oh how horrible is she ,come scarlett go away you can't sing for shit ,and you tortured the musicians that wasy mean did the guy in the back pukes when she is done?? bet they were happy when she was done , keep making stupid movies and don't ever sing again you suck at it
That was awful. She sucks. What's worse is she thinks that because she's into Tom Waits she's the coolest person on Earth when the fact is she's two bags of saline away from total mediocrity.
The funny thing is, her voice is much better than Tom Waits'. Just don't let the hipsters hear you say that; they've been trained like monkeys to worship him.
Horrible! In the words of Randy Jackson, "It's a little pitchy, dawg!" Actually, a lot pitchy. She has an amateurish, nasally tone to her voice and it isn't appealing in the least. You could hear better singing at 99% of the karaoke nights at your local Wing House or Hooters. This is just the ploy of some horny producer who hopes that if you're staring at her tits you won't notice that she can't carry a tune in a bucket.
i know and love this song. a lot. and i don't see her trying to emulate tom waits as much as i see her trying to emulate cat power singing tom waits, or what she thinks cat power would sound like were she to cover a tom waits song. i also agree with the nico comparison.
i think...i don't know what i think about this. it's not great, but it's not miley cyrus either, so i have to be grateful for certain aspects of it. i mean, there is a truckload of shit out there. this is still shit, but for me it's falling closer to 'less shitty' as opposed to 'more shitty.'
I realize most on here listen to Britney Spears or Ashlee Simpson. So I can understand how this music isnt for you. I love it. I would love to be listening to it driving down the highway with the top down on a beautiful day.
She can't sing worth a shit and anyone without a hearing problem knows that's a fact. For those who think yourselves as being unique or special thinking you get this shit are posers so fuck off.
I agree with galley. I don't hate it - and I'm not a Scarlett fan nor much of a Tom Waits fan. I love the musicians and the many layers they had ... I think if she had increased her range and brought just a little more range and tonal-play to it, it would be fantastic. I'm thinking she was nervous -- and understandably so if the response here is any indication of how the rest of her potential listeners will react.
Funny how these people who are famous and talented for one thing are allowed to indulge in the fantasy that they may be talented and able in some other area. Like George Clooney thinking he might have something important or relevant to say or do about world affairs; or Cameron Diaz thinking she might be a good actress. Oh... wait.
"The funny thing is, her voice is much better than Tom Waits'. Just don't let the hipsters hear you say that; they've been trained like monkeys to worship him."
Wow. Waits voice isn't American Idolesque, but um... emotion wise? He can go from making you want to get piss drunk, to cry, to want to fight someone again in the course of three songs. I know his voice can be rough at first but it's like a good liquor.
Wow. I only made it exactly 52 seconds before my brain vomited down my spinal column and sent me into a seizure. I figured since she already has a man's voice it wouldn't be so bad but boy george was I wrong.

The Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack was awesome. Just sayin'.
By TonyRobots, on May 16, 2008 18:34:01
that is the most unflattering outfit
By anonymous, on May 16, 2008 18:37:27
Yeah, but The Royal Tenenbaums 2 was horrible.
By Jenny, on May 16, 2008 18:43:48
This girl is fug. No, I'm not gay but come on. Bug eyes, fug face, ect.. No beauty here. Can't even sing.
By anonymous, on May 16, 2008 18:53:51
My God, that was horrible. I'd rather fuck my cat.
By anonymous, on May 16, 2008 18:56:12
you know, it's actually quite nice under two circumstances:
1) mute it
2) you are horny
(two can only be true after you do one)

C'mon, what's with the Mom jeans pics? If you're going to expose us to brain damaging noise like that, at least give us something worth looking at.
By anonymous, on May 16, 2008 20:18:29
She's overrated. She can't sing for shit. I hate mom jeans. That said, damn but she looks like a sexy bitch in those photos.
By anonymous, on May 16, 2008 21:20:23

Maybe I was going in with lower expectations.

22:03:55; WTF? I guess we should say that Britney is a great singer when the music is in her range too. This fug has a man voice and probably man hands.
By anonymous, on May 16, 2008 22:23:22
Ahhhhhhh, I only made it like 8 seconds. It's like karaoke night at the local crappy bar. Completely awful.
By Tony Edward, on May 16, 2008 22:46:13
It wasn't that fucking bad, it's about as good as that skank Amy Boozehouse, and I'm sure all of you tards are fans.
By anonymous, on May 16, 2008 22:48:14
Damn that was embarassing. She's lucky she's deaf but for the rest of us, it sucked.
By anonymous, on May 16, 2008 23:11:49
18:53:51 - I agree with you. Never got her appeal either. Ugly and stumpy
By blah, on May 16, 2008 23:17:49
i really feel for the musos who had to work with her on this. Another example of very misguided power and inluence for someone already famous.
By anonymous, on May 16, 2008 23:47:15
Jenny, I love that you love Jane's Addiction. Makes me know I'm in with the right people.
By anonymous, on May 17, 2008 01:43:04
So here's the only time you can call Scarlett Johannson perfectly flat...

She has a perfect body. Previous posters are homosexuals.

I'd kinda like to see what would happen if she went on American Idol.

GaCK! I thought you were overreacting but I think that's UNDEREEACTING! Yeesh! It was easier to listen to Gaeta's leg being amputated last night!
By Chang, on May 17, 2008 07:46:45
Ugh. Ef's right, I like the song, not the singer tho! I agree with whoever said above that she's perfectly flat.
You know what it is? It's that she's trying to give it that Tom Waits grumble. If she wasn't trying to emulate him she'd sound better.
By Vigilante, on May 17, 2008 08:22:22

I made it through the whole thing.
It was like a special olmpics singing competition. Then, somewhere in the middle of the song she picks up this thing and shakes it around; only it's not a penis this time.
By anonymous, on May 17, 2008 11:53:25
...I liked the backing musicians. If it was just an album full of instrumental covers of Tom Waits, I would have bought it.

By JD, on May 17, 2008 13:41:59
I'm not trying to say she sings well, but i'm pretty sure she at least sounds better than tom waits
By anonymous, on May 17, 2008 14:06:39
She has a great tone but she needs some serious lessons. A good voice coach could make her into a really unique singer.
By Corrina, on May 17, 2008 15:02:19

can somepne please tell me what beat was she constantly tapping her hand to? It certainly was not the beat of this song. maybe, she is deaf.
By Ashley, on May 17, 2008 22:28:02
I would lie to her and tell her that her singing is wonderful if she'd let me suck her toes.
By anonymous, on May 18, 2008 00:54:28
OMFG. After 10 seconds, her voice trigged my homones and made me cry like a Hyena. 20 seconds would've made me have conculsions...DAMN!
By Toe, on May 18, 2008 06:02:16
Oh my god!! I made it to 59 seconds. It was tough though!! Can you imagine being the band? Those poor people. I hope they got paid well.
She's terrible!
