At first I was unimpressed--but as I watched the video it grew on me. I like the song, I like the video, I like the story behind the song as presented by the video.

Folks on HuffPo are just inanely and insanely critical. Get a life, get a personality, get some self esteem.

I love her. Too bad she can't sing.

[CoulterIsASuccubus]

Maybe she should become a synchronized swimmer if she is looking to expand her repetoire. Her breasts could definitely be floatation devices.

[BlogAngel]

What happened to her voice - even the quality of the recording? Sounds like she made in on a PC at home. The music vid looks like they didn't have time to think of anything so they followed her around one day. Great actress. Maybe she's just being gutsy enough to try something new and risky.

[Agentlady007]

This is one of the smartest actresses in the world. Anyone who stars with Robert Redford should know her career is set. She never has to worry about work or proving herself. She is maybe the last child star of this generation.

Brain surgery...that's what she should try.

[kawreader]

I do like her...and many of her movies.

But, why? The video is ridiculous and the singing is horrid and droning.

[CulureFX]

I'm only a minute and thirty seconds thru this, and I can't believe how she sounds like shes in a tunnell...

the horribleness is too confusing

must stop watching

[hopeless277]

Maybe she'll try olympic gymnastics next.

[Abbily]

Rubbish!

[OzzieSmerck]

Nico sings Tom Waits. interesting.

[TakLoufer]

Nico would have made it interesting; she sounded like a cello tuned by Kurt Weill. Scarlett's performance is just pouty narcissism at it's worst.

[liberalinaredstate]

Good God Scarlett what have you done!?!?!?!? While I admire your excellent taste in Music, yes Tom Waits is a genius, but this is all you've got!. Please quit singing, and soon. Whoever produced this should be ashamed of themselves­.....eeeee­ewwwwwww

[TakLoufer]

Tom Waits is not a genius. He's a creep who thinks acting drunk and disheveled somehow makes him a unique artist. Keith Richard has been doing the real thing for much longer and makes much better music.

[dac253]

If you judge this against other actor's shots at the billboard, this isn't that bad. She could sing in a bar band,... even if she was ugly.

[grimm]

Right now I can hear the whole freaking neighborhood watching American Idol.

By comparison? 1-888-Scarlet

[kcforshort]

I'm sorry. No....just no.

And I'm a fan of her movies.

[querencia]

Bless her hollywood heart for giving it a try. It does really suck though. Then again- anything that puts royalties into Waits' pocket can't be all bad.
