ScarJo Shouldn't Sing Live

Seriously, if she can make an album with that voice, so can I. She doesn't have a spectacular voice. She can stay on tune and her voice is different, but that's about it. That being said, I do like the song and I don't mind her singing it.

Wtf is that???

god help me, i like it. she's like a nascent nico.

No. Just...no. Who the hell told this girl she could sing?!

She sounds like Hootie and the Blowfish... I hate them.

Wino wannabe.

Hmm i sort of like it. Her voice is pleasant to listen to, and unusual. She just needs more training thats all. I'd rather listed to her than that computerized pop voice that pops up everywhere (Hilary Duff/Lindsay Lohan/Heidi Montag/Rogue Traders)

Her voice sounded okay here (much better than that terrible recorded version), but she has no stage presence.

My opinion is that if you're going to cover someone else's tunes, you'd better bring something remarkable to the table--a great voice/musicality--something that sets you apart in a good way. Scarlet doesn't have that at all.

"Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, prefunctory gift that nobody ever asks for..."

I've not been a huge fan of Scarlett Johansson's since Ghost World but I think I might be able to dig her singing.

Yall are crazy, I think that her voice is perfectly suited for Tom Waits songs, she sang really strongly and she was on tune. Just cuz a girl has a deep singing voice doesnt make her a bad singer. It's not something to go crazy over, but i think i'll be adding it to my collection.

Plus... she has such luscious boobies.

The song would be kinda good if the bitch wasn;t singing it!

she's a good actress what more does she want?

The next person who compares this twit to Fiona Apple is getting punched in the 'nads! Fiona is a fucking goddess who writes her own shit and can carry at LEAST two or three tunes, thank you very much! ScarJo's singing alternates between horking and wheezing.

Has this shit bombed yet, or what? I actually think the band is not that horrendous -- well, the fucking YEAH YEAH YEAHS guitarist is backing her ass up -- but she seriously sounds like a fat thirteen year-old boy whose voice is constantly cracking.

I agree with Doodlewhore, who thinks that "She should duet with Chloe Lattanzi. Can you imagine what that would sound like?"

Yes. PLEASE, dear cosmos, let it be so!

Hekki!!

I can't believe you were at a Ricki Lee Jones show & he was behind you!! I missed so much of Dlisted when I go off to work. Dang.

Anyhoo, Tom Waits is not for everyone. My sister & her husband politely sat through "Real Gone" and were dumbfounded. My badass mom, however, was like, "I remember when I first heard him- I thought he was an old Black cat from Mississippi."

I'm going to call her right now.

Hello, I'm the gate

Thanks K. Pssst! Scarjo...over here [motions w/hand]A lil wisdom...it is a rare entertainer who can shine in more than one avenue. This is NOT you.

Eh, it's not bad.. it's I guess different. It's kinda 90's shoegaze sounding. Mazzy Star this isn't tho.

"pip pip, cheerio"

Okay...I don't know what to make of this. I can't stand Scarjo and think she's really overrated...but I sorta liked this. Granted, I never heard Tom Waits do the song and I may have been mostly pulled in by the song itself. But...I listened to the whole thing and I'd listen to it again. Yes, there were parts where I thought she might wanna spend a bit more time with her voice coach.

Is there any hope for me?

Ahhhhh my ears!!! OFF-KEY ALERT!!! oh and FLAT ALERT!!!!

I like the song, but she is horrible singing it.
And I have never heard of Tom Waits. I went to the link that someone posted below and listened to some of his songs on YouTube.

ScarJo is seriously making AutoTune work overtime! You can hear that shit really bad in this.
Her singing, not too offensive, but BORING AS SHIT. I have a deep ass voice and I'm not the best singer but I write my shit and my band is original and fucking pimp. Hey ScarJo, try having some balls and WRITING SOME SONGS instead of covering boring ass Tom Waits shit that you think will give you hipster cred.

EDIT: To the people who think she's the worst singer ever...uhhh...she sucks, but remember how Asshole Simpson put out a few albums? You might want to rethink that statement.

Nice for the eyes, but bad for the ears.

I'd lie to her and say I liked it for a chance to titty fuck her.

Damn I love this song and Scarjo kinda ruined it for me :(

Is this a fucking joke? She sounds like one of the first people who audition for American Idol and get laughed out of the room.

She might be...the....worst......singer.........EVER?

Who the fuck financed this album? Were they deaf?

God, she's horrid! Sounds like my howling along with the radio. She is certainly no singer by any stretch and whoever compared her with the Cocteau Twins is clearly in need of a hearing aid!

I like the song. I think if someone else were singing it, it would be a lot better. She's an actress, but she seems to have no personality in her performance....strange.

"All Those Who Wander Are Not Lost."

Diamond Dawg: It was in 1990 (or maybe 1991) at Town Hall in NYC. I was too scared to say a word.

Scarlett's singing is just like her acting. A little void of inflection, but I still want to watch. At least she's not trying to "American Idol" us to death with vocal acrobatics and trying to sound all R&B.

Boooooooooooooooooooo!

She sucks and now my neighbors dog is howling, great!

That is just plain HORRID. And I thought she was just a bad actress.

She was great in Lost in Translation - haven't seen her in anything else. I recall that the rumor at the time was that Sophia Coppola couldn't stand her a$$. totally dissed her after the movie was over. wonder what that was all about?

P.S. Tom Waits sat behind me at a Rickie Lee Jones concert and I only discovered it because he was clearing his throat and talking low to the person next to him and I was thinking that it sounded like him, and I turned around and it WAS him. It was a thrilling night.

Wow. When was that? I would have asked for his autograph.

Ugh. She's just a bit better then Chloe Lattanzi

ok then! I stand corrected. Apparently Scarjo is COVERING Tom Waits. PHUCK! Now I hate her. Talk about standing on the shoulders of GIANTS. Nice calculated move. Poseur!! This makes her infinitely worse than Avril Lavigne.

Thanks again for the correction/source of the Tom Waits thing. I hope he charged her 80 million dollars to cover it. B*tch. (Although I'm sure his rights company screwed him and let her have the song for a grand.)

Not as bad as I expected. But not good, either.

In a funny kind of way it makes me like her because maybe she will introduce people to Tom Waits and his utter genius.

While far from a new move, Johansson's label (Warner-owned imprint Atco/Rhino Records) certainly deserves credit for allowing fans a peek into Johannsson's highly anticipated debut a week early, especially considering the label is allowing fans to share the content. This, of course, comes after having some earlier leaked songs taken down from Imeem.

Aside from the curiosity factor that comes with an actor turned musician, Johansson's album, largely a low-key mix of dreamy, studio atmospherics, is drawing attention for tackling the songs of cult hero Tom Waits, and working with a host of acclaimed artists like David Bowie and TV on the Radio producer Dave Sitek. A video for Johansson's "Falling Down," the song Bowie guests on, has already been released.

Early reactions have been mixed. Wired's Listening Post compared Johansson to the Cocteau Twins, and the Playlist was a bit more critical. In a Sunday essay, my colleague Ann Powers critiqued the album. Here's a brief excerpt from her review:

"Anywhere I Lay My Head" is, in fact, not a great success. But its ambitions are fairly huge. In fact, it's really three albums: an excellent Waits compilation that plunges deep into the soil of his catalog; a re-imagining of the Waits sound by Sitek, who delights at the chance to experiment with adding new elements to music that's clearly influenced his own work; and Johansson's debut. Had a band name graced the project instead of Johansson's, it might seem like a greater success; her voice is best understood as an element in Sitek's wide-ranging constructions, not a central force.

Wow I did not expect that deep voice to come from her...kinda reminds me of Adele, if anybody has her of her.

I still can't tell if I hate her singing or just that slow, drawn-out, shitty song.
