Edit: They didn't steal the song like I previously stated. They are working with Sony Music of Japan and created a cover album of famous Japanese songs. I still don't care much for this cover although I thought the lyrics were really good. |

 Why don't you ask? You never know. She might like "crappy reggae". Thanks for letting us know it exists -- I, for one, think it's a great rendition. |

That was really rude from u...
Utada remade Fly me to the moon and it appears not to be a good song for Sinatra's fans... coz she turned it into R&B... But no-one said Utada's one was shit, so we shouldnt say it about this Automatic version uh?? :P Its just my opinion |

They actually have. I think her highest viewed video besides all of the AMVs with Sanctuary/Simple and Clean was her performance of FMTTM at the Bohemian Summer tour. A large majority said it was shit (with variations on that theme; same thing can be found on videos with the studio version). I disagree, but hey, we are all entitled to our opinions so telling someone they "shouldn't" say something (when it comes to something like this) is ridiculous. |

I really like this. I think it's an awesome cover. I'm also a big fan of some Reggae, Reggaeton (except for "Reggaeton" remixes of some songs heh) and similar styles of music. Sly & Robbie did an excellent job with this.

Automatic by hikki is like one of a kind if you ask me, so I can't complain much about this. The singing was ok but I personally did not like the video, I mean what is up with everybody and their phones....
 well I'm way pass this now, its all about TITO now if no one noticed there is Automatic part 2... |

I think they done a good job, it's no Utada Hikaru, but the point of covers is not to sound like the original, you can't compare them because it's the ORIGINAL, everybody likes to sing songs that they love. I don't understand why everyone hates covers, some of them are good.

I like it.
And they're right, there were a lot of people who didn't like Utada's FMTTM. I liked it, but I'm biased. But I loved the original. :] Anyway, I like it. It's different so its hard to "compare" them. |

Personally, I like it. And I'm also flattered that they loved Utada's song enough to cover it. :) |
