i kind of hate jamie cullum for most everything he represents, but i have to say it's actually a lot better if these guys perform this song than if the cure was doing it!  :-D

thanks for the link.

yes thanx for sharing Etkimi. I find Jazz like this a bit boring... Maybe seeing it live ,hearing the brass section up a bit louder might help. I still actually prefer Robert's howl and the way The Cure do it... guess I'm still a curefan!! :smth023

Thought it was alright. I like the original version better because it has a catchy beat and Robert's vocals.  :smth004

That's actually a nice version. Why they didn't call her for the MTV Icon thing instead of all those crappy artists who made Cure versions? :roll:

Yep.
Stink 182 (A Letter To Elise)...Murdered
AFI (Just Like Heaven).......murdered
Razorlight (Boys Don't Cry)....murdered
Deftones (If only Tonight...).....actually pretty good (& I don't like the Deftones).

didn't robert say that MTV asked him to propose groups to perform covers on the MTV icon show but then they turned down every single artist he suggested, and chose something else instead.  ???
and since the tasteless idiots at MTV could decide, of course they chose something as utterly crappy and useless as johnny borrell. i guess  according to the guys at MTV people like borrell have  great credibility to be saying things like "yeah the cure has always meant so much to me" just because he makes it to some useless NME "cool list" every year, together with some other complete wankers like pete doherty etc.
cool.

 :smth023 Thank you, etkimi for posting that link.  I'm not familiar with the artists,  but I'll usually give anyone a listen (unless it's country :smth011).  Thought that was a very cool, jazzy cover of Lovecats!   :D :D :D

Yuck, I didn't like any of those mtv performances, except Deftones, because..they are just talented.

anyway, I don't really know about the jazz covers of The Cure.

I don't know what you guys think JAZZ is ... but it's definitely NOT that.
"Big Band" maybe, but Jazz?  NO.

that's why i said i hate jamie cullum - if i feel like listening to jazz i'd prefer some real jazz and not some ****-ish "elevator-jazz" by the likes of him.  :twisted:

You guys are FUNNY!  :-D :-D  Yes , that was not my understanding or experience of "JAZZ" as we know it.. more an American Idol Version of it.. ..Bring on the BIG BRASS BANDS and lics!! Was she really singing at all?  :shock:

Of course this song is not jazz, in any context.
It's more, of what scatcat. referred to as  big band.
