Early feelings were positive. Ears perked up. I hear Merry Clayton's backup vocals in my head, and expect this version to really to build in a new interpretation. And then...

nothing

It couldn't end soon enough. Don't play this again please Bill.

First thought "Why the hell is the lady from 'Lost in Translation' now singing on RP....?" Not too keen on this one.....

It shocks me to see all the negative comments. I am jam'n here!! This song rocks.

this is one of my few 1s
and I really like Joss so this deeply saddens me

you both can do better
shame on you

I have to say, I really try not to say anything negative, but this song marks the first time I feel compelled to say..."Wow, I really do NOT enjoy this take on a song I like."

I'll give it a 2 since Joss Stone at least sings on key.

This is a mistake, right?

:puke::puke:....Hmm? I agree!!...

An unlistenable cover version of one of my top 25 favorite songs of all time. Ugh.

Y'know that "just a shot away"? Please point it at my head.

this was terrible. I had to shut it off. Joss Stone has a great voice but this was awful.

Someone should do some serious time,you know where!!

That Joss is too, too hyper. Can it be she tries too hard? Too close to Britney or Christina.

Not my favorite from this album. Saw Angelique in concert a couple of months ago. She's definitely a must see if you get the chance. Her energy and attitude are awesome.

Esto no es bueno y siento el strutt de la necesidad mi cosa cobarde del vómito

so ... conflicted ...

Not even close to the original. Do the world a favor and shut it.

This one is a rare 5 for me. I prefer the original, but it's an interesting take. Nothing I'd want in the mp3 player, but as an occasional diversion it has merit.

kidjo is all right, but joss is laying it on a bit too thick... which i guess is what she does. *shrug*

I was going to boo this one, not being my favorite song, or cover....but then I saw it was Angelique Kidjo, whom I think is very good and so its passable.....

joss stone channels tom jones channeling mick jagger?!

I was going to give it a 3 until I realized that would have brought up the average rating!

Thanks for putting into words what I couldn't even describe in my head. I keep expecting to hear Carol Channing or Enrique join in for the Vocal Gymnastics competition.

Interesting. Don't know if I like it or not.

I'll reserve final judgment, but my initial impulse is that this is awful. Definitely a different interpretation of the song than that givem to it by the Stones, though.
