Rick Astley does a great job here. He really is good at singing Smiths songs. The band are great too. I dont know why people were critical of this. It gets the thumbs up from me. I think they did a great job.

As a devout, long term Smiths and Morrissey fan I approve of this message. It's a fine homage. It's joyous.

My only question is...What prompted this? Was it a celebration? Tribute? I think folks who are critical might not be so much about his abilities but more about artistic integrity....it's kinda tacky in a way. But as a Smiths fan...I generally approve. Nice to hear renditions that are a bit closer to the original recorded versions. Morrisey strays but that's fine....it's his material.

@daviddill5227 Жыл бұрын

@Tommy-fh6bs - Rick might do better singing a different genre of music than what he is known for. Insurance commercials on US television years after his singing career being largely over doesn't likely speak well to his longevity. Perhaps doing Smith covers his career might do a little better than a song like "together forever."

@serenaym3974 - when did I ever state at any time in my reply that I was speaking for anyone else but myself? Stay in your lane, because clearly you are reading way too much into things. This being the case, especially since I never said anything derogatory about Rick Ashley in my response. Sorry, you are so hyper sensitive even if I never said anything negative about Rick Ashley.
