It’s funny, Ed just performed at an amazing rally for the West Memphis 3 and this is the news that we have gotten the most feedback on recently. Discuss.

Without further ado, Courtney Love with Hole performing “Jeremy” in Paris on August 25.

i just threw up in my mouth.

There’s not one bit of that performance that convinces me she’s ever even heard the song….. Ah Courtney, you will do anything to have people talk about you….

Gaz September 1, 2010 at 10:05 am

I’d rather wipe my arse with sandpaper than listen to that again.

greg September 1, 2010 at 10:29 am

horrible.

Chanadian September 1, 2010 at 11:07 am

Wow, just wow. Who in their right mind would pay to see this thing “perform” and ruin an amazing song?

She covers “Jeremy” also on last weekend in Warsaw, Poland

Here it is:

After watching it again with better sound, it doesn’t sound that bad. At least she does not try to imitate the song but keeps true to her own way of doing it.

Jessica September 1, 2010 at 4:45 pm

This is one of the worst covers in the history of covers! I don’t know if I can even finish listening to this it is so bad! Nope, I can’t.

Liv September 1, 2010 at 4:54 pm

Not a nice way to wake up in the morning! Courtney should have stopped at Live Through This, I now have to clean my ears by listening to the boys play it as it should be :)

This from a woman who has never had a nice thing to say about Pearl Jam and/or Eddie. I mean shit… when Kurt was alive she hated Pearl Jam. Unbelievable!

Merrie September 1, 2010 at 6:42 pm

She should stick to Heroin

Ryan September 1, 2010 at 6:59 pm

what a dumb, drugged out bitch!! When she comes to Bumbershoot, I hope whatever’s left of the audience, by some miracle she’ll realize that she’s done, finished…stop wasting your time and anyone else who happens to come across shitty, drug induced white trash losers!

Brian September 1, 2010 at 11:26 pm

Just awful.

Chris September 2, 2010 at 11:19 am

Yeah, that was…. different! Not a fan.

Belinda September 3, 2010 at 1:50 am

Uggghhhh!! Now that was just HORRENDOUS!!!

Courtney PLEASE do everyojne a favour and PLEASE Go somewhere FAR, FAR AWAY!!! To massacre a song in this way is just Unforgivable!!

You’re a washed up has been who NO ONE Cares about anymore!!! GO AWAY!!!

Tina Marie September 3, 2010 at 10:34 am

OMG! I think Ive died and gone to Hell!

Sameer September 3, 2010 at 11:50 am

Although this cover is pretty poor, lets not forget that Courtney was extremely critical and publicly defended Ed after the hatched job article that Rolling Stone published back in the mid-90′s.

Doctor Robert September 4, 2010 at 6:39 am

jeez people, give the lady a break, its just a cover song.

I like the story of how her and Kurt were a fan of the song.

Halina September 4, 2010 at 5:10 pm

May I ask? Didn’t she wanted to move away a fan in PJ T-shirt from her show? I don’t know greater hipocrisy

DrRJE September 6, 2010 at 11:24 am

not sure which is worse…the “singing” or the guitar playing…

twistygirl September 6, 2010 at 11:35 am

I watched. I vomited. I needed to take a hot shower to wash away the nasty feeling left behind. Love you Kathy!

JT September 22, 2010 at 2:13 pm

is that a barf bag on the mike stand? damn I’m going to hurl now…

5AB0TAG3 September 23, 2010 at 4:17 pm

sorry, but I have to disagree with 99.9% of you guys.

It’s not bad at all. Very courtneylovish of course, but then again… I’m no Courtney-Love- hater …

Just like trying to lick your own elbows, it’s not possible to watch the entire video.
