JK2006	Deluded? I only asked... and hoped...
harsh but fair	unneccessary...vapid...pointless - and there has never been a track floated as a million seller that got off to such a poor start. It hasn't even made the iTunes Top 1000 at any point, and is probably still well over 999,000 sales away from that million sales. JK is increasingly deluded.

I loathe the original but i like this version very much. The sharp strings are exactly right for the song and give it a distinctive sound but the percussion ( for me) is very distracting and overpowers the vocal. I would have just used the video shots of her with the black background because her voice is interesting enough to stand alone. I really hope it goes well for her.

I've listened to it several times and still like the vocal and of course the song. The one thing I don't like is the sound of "the strings". The arrangement is good but they sound too tinny/harsh, probably a function of being electronically produced. I'm very familar with the Neil Young version. After seeing your post I did a Youtube search and found there are a lot of very good cover versions. I notice one of them by The Corrs was featured in the movie "Leap Year" and another by Everlast was in the movie "Big Daddy". I liked the Lady Antebellum version best : Charley's version is very good but IMHO nowhere special or different enough to be a future million seller
