Does anyone else like this?  Something about it, not sure what.  But it appeals to me.

I wouldn't go so far as "hate", but I do find it twee and irritating.

I would.  I despise this style of female singer, unfortunately it seems to be the in thing at the moment.   :(

I put 'dislike' as IMO it really misses the feel of the original song, without replacing it with another feeling / emotion. A bit dry

Amen... Just makes me think of irritating vegan girls with hairy armpits who enjoy bulimia and watching donnie darko alone. 

Piss off.

Speaking of adverts, one that really gets my goat at the moment is the new Ferrero Rocher one:

"A long time ago in an ancient time"

Afghan Dave, that's the quote of the year for me!

The Stepbrothers version of Sweet Child O Mine is Ace.
GREAT GOOGILY MOOGILY!

I don't like it.
I think I hate being indecisive.

That's my target market! If they're ginger, even better.

Hmmm...

I'd like to say that I'd split the camp somewhat, if it weren't for the overwhelming negativity!!!

;)

Three people in the "like" camp, so it's not all bad.

Afghan, you're a poet.

I don't mind it, but I like it far more than the original.

I hear this on the radio 2 weeks ago and hit the mute button after 10 seconds.
I don't like the whiny vocals. They sound awful.
Has any one heard of Paloma Faith? She is a lot better female vocalist. Does a bit of the Burlesque too!  :wink:
