Amazing Cover of This Charming Man

The thread title is an oxymoron...therefore, I didn't bother with the link.
 
It's quite sooo far from amazing.
I couldn't help closing the video window.

The title of this thread should've been "Singing in the mess".
 
This is a live video and recording and sometimes making music is more important then putting away the dishes.

Get over yourse;lf and give it a fair listen

I did, and I didn't like it. That's what happens when you put music 'out there' - some people will like it, others will not, but listeners will get really turned off if you try to tell them how to respond.

Definitely kitchen sink drama in the video, perhaps of a different kind

Didn't like this at all. The girl has a pleasant enough voice technically, but it's not suited to the song - she's basically neutered This Charming Man and made it into some sort of slushy urban backing track. Completely emotionless. Like of a lot of Smiths covers it seems, the vocalist sounds like they don't understand the lyrics they're singing.

You mean "This Charming Man" isn't about getting out da hood?
 
I would go out tonight but I haven't done the dishes for weeks
 
I suspect that quite a few others, as Morrissey is wont to do, will be put off by the "urban" beat unfortunately, but in any event, I think it's a decent re-imagining.

There's still a bit of disconnect. I know that "handsome" applies to women as well, but my brain associates it nearly exclusively as a male trait.

Oh, and...nice rack.

Should it get a commercial release?
