    it winds me up so much when people say she can’t sing. not in the usual ironed out smooth pop vocal style of the masses of artists that have been forgotten about, but in a crooked, ugly but hauntingly beautiful wail. her voice has so much emotion and moves me massively.

    I really don't get why people in the comments think this is bad. Haters. This is raw and beautiful, of course no one can sing it just like PJ, just like no one can cover a Hole song and be as good as Courtney. The thing about covers is that everyone is always expecting it to sound just like the original or even better, which is very difficult because everyone will always prefer the original version, so for a Courtney cover this is pretty good guys!

      It is shocking how you don't realize that Courtney has been irrelevant since the 90's, dropping critically panned material that got such negative reception she basically retired from music while PJ continues to put out acclaimed material to this day. It is shocking that you claim Courtney is so popular and yet she has not won 2 mercury prizes like PJ, nor is she thought of as one of the greatest female alternative artists of all time like PJ is. It is shocking that you don't realize that PJ Harvey is a far more revered and respected figure in music than Courtney. It is shocking that you don't realize that "popularity" has nothing to do with covering a song well.
