That's pretty weird if that's actually Leighton singing because it sounds identical to Kim Carnes (the woman that sings Betty Davis Eyes originally). The only difference is the beats, other than that, it sounds like the same exact person!

Re: karrbl2005 – umm…this isn't lauren conrad from the hills, it's leighton meester (or h/e you spell it) from gossip girl

She has a good voice, but the song is just blahhh!
Kate27 says – reply to this

111

OMG!!! I love her but she sounds really really bad, she should stick to acting I don't see her as the next fabricated artist…
jhadda2 says – reply to this

112

Sharontheluv says – reply to this

113

She actually sounds really good, I mean I am surprised I wasnt expecting that

i love it.
Mui from Montreal says – reply to this

Her voice is cool for this song… even if I don't think it can be covered well (Kim Carnes is such a characteristic singer….)

BUT

Dayum, the arrangements are nothing short of evil. My they suck
rachel28star says – reply to this

116

i actually liked this version of the song, but there's no way she's singing it
sugarpepsi says – reply to this

117

yeah i think its real good…i really dont know much about her other than she is on gossip girl which i dont watch…but it sounds fairly well…just listen to when she sing "her hair is harlow gold" the strenght in her voice is good. i think that people just give actors a hard time when they try to sing…but if they really would just go based on the voice and not thier image maybe they would be more susceptible to them…like Scarlett johansen she HAS a good voice its just the way she chose to sing the song was bad…because if you ask me i thought the way she sang summertime was real good.
Chelsaur says – reply to this

118

I really liked it, can't wait to hear more!
HelleHa says – reply to this

119

its ok. but if she wasn't already a star, i'm sure she wouldn't have gotten signed.
lalabred says – reply to this

120

i REALLY like this. pleasantly surprised. But I agree with everyone else…GG is ALL about Blair, Chuck and Little J. She HAS to stay focused on her acting
griselmania says – reply to this

121

Wow, I'm surprised that she can actually sing.
loverqirl88 says – reply to this

122

keithl44 says – reply to this

134

That sucks!!
Tiffany_Bitches says – reply to this

135

uhhhh…. LOVE her! This song is far better than the previous one you posted. I would definately buy her music. She is a triple threat. She ACTUALLY has talent unlike a lot of celebrities that try to cross-over. When will her music be available on iTunes??? I would even go so far as to say I would buy tickets to a future concert of hers! Good luck Leighton!
La Diva says – reply to this

136

Seriously yo, just leave the classics alone. If you can't re-enact the magic of the classics, then leave them alone and spare yourself the embarassment.
jayjay says – reply to this

137

wow, that is absolutely horrible. it's not only over-produced and synthesized, but she's STILL out of tune for half the notes.
barf! stick to being pretty and pretending to act.
Nic8985 says – reply to this

138

I like her voice a lot… the music in the song can definitely be approved on but Leighton's voice is good and very unique.
helokt says – reply to this

139

songs sounds ok but hard to tell if she really has a good voice…
SummerSunn says – reply to this

140

I hate re-makes, can't anyone be original anymore? However, her voice is better than most of the pop chicks on the radio. The music is annoying I agree, overproduced.
Whatupperez says – reply to this

141

She's better than Hayden, Lindsey and Paris. I actually liked it. Id like to hear more, but pretty impressive considering the crowd she comes from.
Jessekaka says – reply to this

142

I love it. I would download it for sure.
Joey101 says – reply to this

143

als420 says – reply to this

144

i think she could potentially be good.. dont like her singing that song though
cerbrus719 says – reply to this

145

milanesa says – reply to this

146

No gracias!
swissgal says – reply to this

147

Can't judge until I hear her singing live. That's the only way to test someone's talent.
babyfaceeee says – reply to this

148

hmmmmm she's not so bad… considering how many other actors and actresses try to sing and suck at it. shes on of the few that CAN sing. idk but i like it.
lissssss says – reply to this

StacyRN says – reply to this

157

Ugh… what a way to ruin a classic song. How much work did they put into making her voice anyway? This is awful.
bugbuddy says – reply to this

HeatherEW says – reply to this

161

Obviously not as good as the original, but I actually like her voice, but the background music and echo stuff sound like someone made this song on an old Casio.
HeatherEW says – reply to this

162

P.S. Gwenyth Paltrow's cover of this was better. Just sayin'.
fairytalesofyesterday says – reply to this

163

The song is a little overproduced but you can tell she has a good voice. I'm actually impressed. I think her voice could hold without all the computer generation.
alx0327 says – reply to this

164

oh wow, she sounds really good!
i love her, but i was annoyed that she too felt the need to sing after becoming a more popular actress.
her voice is very smooth and different. i love!
i8carrotcake says – reply to this

165

too over processed. I'd like to hear what her REAL voice sounds like.
Kelly1 says – reply to this

Doppelganger says – reply to this

172

Well shit, she sounds 100% better and more natural than Shitney Spears
ItsAHit says – reply to this

173

She's just talking over tons and tons of backing vocals, echos, and various other sounds to drown out her off-key speaking voice.
bebejaz says – reply to this

174

175

Not bad. I like it.

Shes good, but hopefully she gets some good writers etc…because its all about writing hits and performing them well…shes got a very rock voice
Dixie77 says – reply to this

180

Good voice. Not a good cover. If you can't do it better, DON'T DO IT!
sullen says – reply to this

181

She probably doesn't even know who Bette Davis is.

The song was bad enough in the first place. This is WEAK.
CoCo_Paris says – reply to this

182

I think it's sounds really great! But as much as I like it, I hope that she won't leave GG to start her music career!
ceeMARIE says – reply to this

183

indigohaze says – reply to this

185

i like both the song and her voice is pretty awsome too… much better than alot of the actress turned singers…
bitchassn says – reply to this

186

kinda weird…but its nice
blingblang13 says – reply to this

187

You people are pathetic and will jump at any chance to make fun of someone. You know it was good so stop acting like assholes just because she can sing AND act! Haters only hate because they are jealous!
nikki g says – reply to this

188

not bad
AureliaMel says – reply to this

189

Loved the original, and I surprisingly liked this cover
ccnyc6 says – reply to this

190

wow, impressed. more because this was very unexpected since we're so conditioned to think actors should never venture into music. not bad.
flyingpriest says – reply to this

191

Love it - the lazy intervals are reminiscent of Mazzy Star - love love love it. Go girl!
Wes Hightower says – reply to this

I love this cover! Now this is what I call talent she can actually sing! She is no Selena Gomez! But please stay with acting don't leave GG.
k-lee says – reply to this

195

I like the sound of her voice. Better than most actresses who think they can sing.
Devore says – reply to this

196

why are these people remaking the most lame 80s tunes they can find?

it sucked the first time around.
oooo00000lala says – reply to this

197

She has a great voice.
.bommie says – reply to this

198

Very very easy song to cover and make sound good. However if she has a hot video with it, it will be a total hit
btw…must love the 80ies, ppl keep covering great 80ies songs
myluckyday37 says – reply to this

Her voice surprised me and I really like this song! Hope it goes up on iTunes soon.

But, I actually like it alot.
