Beth Ditto + Jarvis Cocker
2 March 2007 :: posted by Travis :: add to favsWoah… Beth Ditto and Jarvis Cocker covered Heaven 17’s classic “Temptation” at the 2007 Shockwaves NME Awards. Sounds too good to be true? Well almost. There are a couple rough spots but overall fantastic.

The Gossip is currently on the cover of NME… but that didn’t help Beth Ditto’s luck at NME. She lost the “Sexiest Woman” award to Kate Moss.

yeah, the song isn’t the best fit for them… and they do everything they can do with it by the first half of the song and then it’s like… ok. but still love because but the both of them together on stage is just… just amazing. they should do an album like ike and tina without the beatings or sonny and cher without the lsd. it would be super.
and i love that ditto is like total no holds barred when she sings but i fear she is going to damage her voice beyond repair one of these days. woah!

yeah i agree on the duet, they should make an album.
but original songs or way better covers, this one doesnt seem to do either of them justice.

it indeed sounds like she’s going to damage her voice if she goes on like this. and that is not pleasant on the ear. :)

A year from now (maybe sooner), Beth Ditto is gonna be the biggest star around. And that’s no little pun related to her weight. She is a f*king star…OMG
