... of Buckley's vocal range, ScarJo just sounds like she's at an open mic night. You know that part in "Last Goodbye" where Jeff Buckley's voice gets higher and higher and he reaches those magical peaks that slouchy messenger bag kids sometimes trick themselves into thinking is a special moment for mixtapes, but is secretly just major label proto-Josh Groban with a bad haircut? Yeah, she just skips that part. When they pass around the hat, I'm totally not putting in any money!

... moons over the emotionally noncommittal Bradley Cooper during a sad montage furnished by Pottery Barn. From the sounds of it, the actress has moved on from Tom Waits and is now channeling the tremulous Joanna Newsom; fortunately, we have inside word that Johansson's biological progenitor —the "very nice (not damn sexy), most important - CHRISTIAN young lady" the actress was cloned from—is still sticking to the Michael W. Smith songbook. Scarlett Johansson Covers Jeff Buckley [Stereogum]

... ” target=”blank”>listen to it here via Stereogum). Whereas Johansson’s vocals were often obscured by producer Dave Sitek’s all-star production work on Anywhere, this time around Johansson’s vocal cords are in the forefront as she croons over a sparse piano. While it’s not nearly as beautiful as Buckley’s original version, we don’t hate it nearly as much as other music blogs seem to. ...
Scarlett Johansson Sings! (Yet Again)
Vulture —
... of Scarlett Johansson's debut album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, we're also of the opinion that less is more when it comes to her singing career. Holing up in the studios for a period of months with Dave Sitek? That's a great idea we fully support. Churning out an impossibly bland cover of Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye" for the He's Just Not That Into You soundtrack? Erm, not so much. [Stereogum] ...
We're 'Just Not Into' Scarlett Johansson's Cover of Jeff Buckley
:: The Playlist :: —
... Is Scarlett Johansson just using her movie career to continue her penchant for recording throw away covers of classic songs? For the soundtrack to the self-help film, "He's Just Not That Into You" (due Feb 3 on NewLine Records), Scarjo has recorded a cover of Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye." The indie-everything loving Stereogum has the track, but it's already leaked and we got our paws on it (coming in a sec).

... music is an acquired taste, and Scarlett’s version just fell flat for me and I couldn’t get into her breathy, monotone, nasal songs. Just when she was starting to grow on me again, Scarlett has recorded a cover of the late Jeff Buckley’s classic “Last Goodbye,” which will be featured on the soundtrack to her upcoming movie He’s Just Not That Into You. It’s better than her earlier efforts, which isn’t saying much. You can hear the song at Stereogum as I couldn’t find it yet in an embeddable format. ...

... you know what, it sounds pretty terrible. Her uncertain sense of pitch and general lack of vocal charisma weren't a liabilities on the best songs on Anywhere I Lay My Head, and in fact her zombie-fied persona added a sort of dark undercurrent.
