Is it just me or is the vocals sound kind of blurry? Or is this just the rough version?
All and all, the single is pretty mediocre…but I didn’t really have high expectations in the first place.

Thanks for the help, Marcy. I updated my link as you suggested. Yet another reason I’m happy you visit regularly.
Now that you mention it, there is a rather misty quality to that song. Is it intentional? I can’t imagine that the record company would give an “unpolished” single to PEOPLE to promote. After all, they do want listeners to buy it. If this isn’t the same version that we would hear on the CD, then what’s the point of allowing us to preview it?
BUT it is only one song. I have no idea how the rest of it will be. I think her voice is fine. Scarlett isn’t Barbra Streisand or Mariah Carey. But I don’t think anyone was expecting her to be, anyway.
I’m very glad you stopped by…

miranda….i haven’t heard any of scarlett’s singing/songs…
but would it surprise you if scarlett supposedly did a bit of singing at a jesus and mary chain show?
well hell, let me take the first thing google gives me…

Thanks for that, glim. That sound mix was so bad I could barely hear Scarlett.
Was that a dress she had on? That was distractingly…uh, short…
April 24, 2008 at 12:25 pm
miranda… i don’t have pc speakers so i haven’t heard the thing with s.jo/mary chain thing…
anyway haven’t had copy of the mary chain’s pschocandy since forever but via amazon magic/and sendspace you can hear the orignal song…
just like honey
April 24, 2008 at 12:27 pm
yeah m., that dress (or whatever) was so short she should stand around after fox searchlight screenings…

glim, I downloaded the file but I can’t find it. Search won’t pick it up. No matter. It will show up somewhere.
On the plus side, I found my Bryan Adams/Bonnie Raitt duet of Rock Steady, which just cooks – and I thought it was long gone.
You need a man to treat you
Like the woman you are
Those little boys are just
Fooling around with your heart
Those little boys just ain’t enough
You need a man made of stronger stuff
Get ready
Amateurs and dilettantes
They can’t give you what you really want
When all the others have been untrue
I’ll give you something you can hold onto
*sigh* I LOVE THAT…
I remember when I was taking some post secondary classes of a creative persuasion, I had to go home to pick up some papers. My best friend in class tossed me the keys to her car, which was quite the souped up little machine. As soon as I turned the radio on, that song was playing. I blasted it, set the car in reverse and barreled out of there. The roads were a tad icy so that was not too swift. But, the way I drive it only took a few minutes.
As my darling mother used to say, “Girl, you’ve got a heavy foot.”
Hell, that ain’t all I got…
The file will turn up, glim. Not to worry. But those memories are priceless. Thanks for reminding me.
As for the divine Ms. Johansson, I know you’d just love that…

Yeah, that sound clip was a little blurry but Scarlett did not sound too bad a all. Ms.Wilding, you sure are building up my curiosity for her debut album indeed, I was hardly interested before but now it would be a lie to say I wasn’t anticipating it a bit.

It will be interesting for sure, Nicky. I know a lot of people would prefer public personalities to stick to one thing. But what if they’re genuinely good at something else and want to branch out?
If Scarlett wants to attempt something else in addition to the acting, then NOW is the time. She may very well be at the height of her incredible popularity (but who knows that for sure?) and she should try different things out while she has the flexiblity to do so.
Good for her. She may as well take it and run with it.

No, glim, that’s fine. Truth be told, I (and many other bloggers that are on WordPress) have found their entries links at the bottom of our pages either disappearing – off and on – or not working from time to time. So it may not be your Opera browser at all. I haven’t talked to support yet but I will report that.
You have no idea how much I appreciate the fact that you’d switch browsers just to hang out at my site. You’re a sweetheart, glim. I’m so happy to have you here.
Well, if you’re crushed out on Scarlett, that’s fine. I’ll have to dig up someone new for you. But I don’t know what kind of women you like.
I think you’re unusual and I do feel that that’s an interesting and unique way to be. Don’t call yourself a weirdo, honey. Be proud of your individuality.
It always kills me whenever men call certain women “unattainable”. Guys have tried to stick that label on me too. It’s kind of silly. If every man considers a woman “unattainable” (largely because of her looks, i’m sure) then who will ever have the nerve to ask her out? I’ve found in my life that the guys that I most wanted to be with (as opposed to the multitude of bloody idiots that chased me around that I had no desire to do…*ahem* anything with) were on the shy side or had little confidence. I ended up with pretty much all of them. But if I had a nickel for every man who told me at some point, “I thought you were out of my league,” or “I had such a crush on you but I thought you wouldn’t like me,” I could retire this year.
Confidence, boys. Y’all need confidence. She won’t ask you out (well, unless she’s really aggressive) so you’re going to have to do the dirty work. Plus, just because people consider you hot, doesn’t mean you’re a terrible person. Some of us glamour queens are nice.
Well, my mom passed away three years ago. So she’s not here at all. I miss her every day. But I am content knowing that she’s in a better place.
What have I got? Are you sure you can stand it, glim? I have good skin, fine teeth, a slender hourglass shape (similar to Scarlett’s), long, thick, wavy blonde hair, VERY long legs (I’m 5′9″ and weigh 140 pounds) and small, delicate features (sparkling green eyes). Also am reasonably witty, bright and have a decent sense of style. That enough for you?
I’ll tell Craig. I’m sure he’ll be excited by the prospect.

m. not to sound like i’m giving you a hard time but on the bottom of page one the next entries thing you click on to get to the second page doesn’t worlk in opera (yeah i’m using version 9.27 which i think is the newest )
but i open firefox just for you and to type this….. here you go….
believe it or not m. i’m crushed out on scarlett (uh let’s keep my pop crush list a secret. please…ha ha )
i’m not big enough fan of her persona/acting etc……
anyway being the weirdo that i am there were a couple of females at the screening of ‘the vistor’ i went to last week that were more noticeable (to me) than scarlett and probably just as unattainable. ha ha….especially when they’re both with boyfriends. *rim shot*
oh well it’s cool you found the duet and i love your heavy foot story.
but since your mother isn’t here and your not driving a souped car. tell us something else you’ve got !!!!
p.s. firefox is scary…..
p.p.s. tell craig i’m out the picture and he can have scarlett all to himself.
April 28, 2008 at 5:09 pm
thanks m. actually meant to type i’m not that crushed out on scarlett. but i always make mistakes because i type fast (well for me) and i’m too afraid to look before i hit the reply button.. (sort of like they say don’t look down/when you’re standing on a ledge )
if I had a nickel for every man who told me at some point, “I thought you were out of my league,” or “I had such a crush on you but I thought you wouldn’t like me,” I could retire this year.
you know what m. ??? that’s just a opening for me to use these bad bad pick up lines. keeping the ‘change’ theme going.
see i really am funny….
one. “If I had a dime for every time I tried to pick up a chick, I’d still be poor.”
two (not directed at you m. but this very funny. and should be very popular in the post ‘no country for old men’ era )
two. *hold on* you’ve been warned….
“If I tossed this quarter, what are the chances of me getting head?”
those still make me laugh…..
Confidence…maybe i can buy some on ebay.
and yes m. those details were enough for me. thank god you didn’t mention the eye brows or i would have fainted.
and i sorry about your mother. but there’s always a better place indeed !
your fan

Oh, that’s fine. I understand now. You’re NOT crushed out on Scarlett yet. OK, glim. I get it…
You know, every time I need a good laugh I’m going to read your comment. That is bloody hilarious. “If I had a dime for every time I tried to pick up a chick, I’d still be poor.” That is just so hysterically funny. You may actually get somewhere with that one.
But with the more suggestive one, I’d save that for when you’re actually in a relationship. If you offend someone then it may not ever get going. But you could say “heads” WITH AN S. She might actually laugh at that. But you have to be cautious with women at the beginning. If you tick someone off or make them uncomfortable the first time you meet them there’s usually no way of getting past that later.
You should come to me with all your girl problems. My guy friends say I give good advice.
Thank you so much for everything. But, most of all, thank you for being here, glim. The place wouldn’t be the same without you.
I’m a fan of yours, too. See, it works both ways…
April 28, 2008 at 6:19 pm
anyway m. i may take you up on your offer to talk about my uh problems with females. but hey if your driven insane in the process/i don’t want my ‘name’ to be ruined through out the film community. ha ha…
anyway have some more bad pick up lines.
http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Worst_100_Pick-Up_Lines_of_All_Time
the first i mentioned was #23 on the list the second… #75
and thanks for the snippet of advice you sneaked into your comment.
April 28, 2008 at 7:06 pm
See, pick up lines are goofy – and mostly a waste of time for men, I think. Most women (unless they’d sleep with anyone) don’t usually respond to that stuff.
Personally, I don’t talk to strangers or hang out in bars. When guys attempt to be so foolish as to come on strong when I don’t even know them I give them the cold green stare. They don’t even have the guts to open their mouths after that.
I’ve dated a lot since I was 16. Lived with several gentlemen as well. But the only men I ever went out with were guys that I knew fairly well all ready – either through friends, work, school or something similar. That is not to say that there haven’t been evenings where I’ve thought about going to one of these hellholes with a group of girls just to see what’s shaking. But I would never be that stupid.
Strangers can be very dangerous. Doesn’t matter how much you want it. It’s not worth dying for. Plus you don’t know anything about these people and whether they’ve got cooties or not. This is why I try to be nice to all of my exes.
So, NONE of those would work on me. As I can’t be picked up. EVER.
But some of them are genuinely funny:
“You look like an angel that fell from heaven and hit its face on the pavement.”
“How much will a 20 get me?”
“My mom won’t be home for hours…”
“I’ve lost my teddy bear. Can I sleep with you instead?”
“Wanna take a ride in my truck? It’s a Ford…It’s exotic.”
“I’m no Fred Flintstone, but I bet I could make your bed rock.”
“I’m BATMAN.”
Thanks for the laughs, glim. You are truly an awesome guy…
