I dunno, Dean. She's attractive (though blondes aren't my preference). She has a good voice, and I'm partial to women who can sing. And I like a lot of her work.

But on this particular song, nothing matches the original for me.

That's not the original.

In any case, Dusty Springfield is considered one of the greatest soul singers who ever lived. She's more than attractive and with a good voice.

Of course, it's also the case that some people just don't like covers. I've always considered that an unfortunate attitude myself. Most songwriters are happy to have people covering their work, it's a compliment to them (and also money in their pockets).
