Oh my god. is this for real? How could she, or any woman, possibly have a voice that would suit Waits' songs? I'm not saying she couldn't pull it off but I'm very sceptical. I look forward to hearing this to see if its as bad as it sounds.

    I'd like to hear her do "Never Talk to Strangers" with Bill Murray...

    I get the feeling that I'll be in the minority on this one....but I think she'll sound a hell of lot better than Tom Waits.

    I wonder if she'll do 'What's he building?' :D

    I love Tom's voice.

    seriously.

    I love Tom's voice. apparently scarlett has a good voice and she obviously has good taste given her choice of artist to cover here but I still can't imagine it working.
