If you're reading Tori, don't listen to the haterz. I thought your cover was great and your voice is beautiful. You like the Manics, I like the Manics, we should totally hook up [PM for details] xxx.

If not, it did suck pretty bad. Should have tried harder maybe?.

At least the negative ones are based on ability, some of the ones based on appearance make me cringe, especially given she could be reading them...

Being blunt (I've been holding back) I think all the negativity is bang out of order and people are C***s at times
Poor girl doesn't deserve it and I'm damn sure sounds and looks better than a lot of the posters here!
I'm ready for the barrage of shit, grow up people - some of the comments have been quite nasty. So next time you think of commenting probably best to be be nice or say fuck all

no shit from me ..well said. She's a young actress trying to make it and these videos might be the highest profile thing she's done so far. Everyone has to start somewhere…good luck to her

Agreed. Except for this focus on looks, I don't see what that has to do with everything.

Perfectly fine to be honest. I've seen a lot worse and with actual music. The girl did a nice thing and got exposed to the vipers on this forum. The fact she is a beautiful young woman has also inspired jibes. It's pathetic to be honest.

I actually find the attitude of "ok she's not a great singer, but look how hot she is", much worse than saying her cover isn't very good.

Granted my comment earlier was a bit over the top, but if you put stuff on the internet, whether it's a song, a poem or whatever, people are going to feedback on it, and it's unreasonable to expect it all to be positive or think that's it's wrong for others to be critical.

There is being critical in the right way and then there is simply saying something that in your head might be funny but ultimately comes across dickish.

Which is why I said that my earlier comment was over the top in tone, if not sentiment. Anyone whose never posted anything on the internet that they later reflect on was inappropriate can put their hand up, but I don't think I'll see many raised arms.

I did say sounds and looks to be fair!
I just sort of added that in, in anticipation of some clever dick making an issue of how she appears - my bad on that one. She clearly is a good looking girl and I defended her when she didn't need defending on that point!

However her voice to me seems reasonable enough and whilst posting a video on youtube no doubt gives people the right to comment on it, I expected the comments to be a little less harsh and a lot more "ahh bless her, what a nice gesture" kind of responses!

Same, I think it's sexist and patronising, personally.

Jesus Christ - she clearly just did that for a bit of fun, and a nice gesture. Can't believe some of the posts in this thread!
