Chrissie Hynde is a genius.

[@echowebpr]

Morrissey is Morrissey !!!!!!

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

You couldn’t be more wrong…. Morrissey is definitely not Morrissey!

boy? he is old. But cool

[@VeronicaBermudez-l7x]

Yes he can !!!!

[@rui2565]

Yeah, he can

[@mimi2the4]

The dream would be Morrissey and Chrissie duet this!

[@dadpolice7714]

Chrissie and marr are best mates and have played it together a couple times, no chance this is happening mate

[@Caligula138]

I'd rather see King Krule and Morrissey duet

[@ericmiller5603]

One of my life’s goals is to see Moz live before he hangs it up!

[@ericmiller5603]

Taking my 17 yr old daughter to see Morrissey in Boston Dec. 4!!!

[@Garycruz85]

Just took my 7 year old son and 8year old daughter too watch him in Downtown Los Angeles and they absolutely loved it. 🙏

[@rumfunksivastcha]

The original song is from The Pretenders, but I really dont mind if Mozz sing it today! Viva Morrissey!!!

[@AvalonAngel525]

The Pretenders also covered Morrissey: "Everyday is Like Sunday." It's lovely.

[@guilitogamer]

Chrissie does background vocals on Morrisey. Love Life

[@Bobber256]

This is a landmark, both the lead vocal and the production. Of course the band kills it. Of course it does. But it is the production that gets this right.

[@h0lysockbob401]

It's a great clip I just love it. Morrissey is gorgeous and as majestic as ever. That voice.❤

[@miguelcorona6897]

Morrissey finally sang a happy song. My life is complete now.

The voice that i fell in love with about 27 years ago. I haven’t been listening to him much lately, but this brought back everything I love(d) about him into focus. It’s actually brought some tears to my eyes....not to sound all dramatic.

[@madting8082]

James wow, nice joke

[@noserialkiller3596]

Morrissey is a world-class vocalist. He has a quiff and can sing as well as Elvis. He can sing in tune, which a number of contemporary artists are incapable of. His songs are also amusing, melodic and catchy. He is a big influence on our music. No Serial Killer.

Voice of an angel

[@wreckim]

My brother, as I was going back to college to get my life in some sort of order back in 1995, throws me this CD; The Queen is Dead, and tells me "listen to that, and take a break for Michael Jackson". Not that MJ was bad music by a long shot, but quite honestly, that CD changed my perspective on music and perhaps even life.

[@jackster1212]

His voice is... as perfect as ever... hasn't aged AT ALL.

[@MrRJS27]

That's the happiest I've ever seen him, and he's back on the chain gang.

[@MarcioSantos-se4cg]

The Pretenders should be proud .... it was excellent

[@mjax8614]

He had never had any part in my life...till I saw this!

[@Aaron-in7lt]

Two of the greatest guitar pop bands to emerge in the 80s, The Pretenders and The Smiths! Morrissey certainly knows his audience😊

[@rabbieburns472]

I "will" add Lloyd Cole and the Commotions to that wee list, mate...

[@jamiepabear1]

His vocal acrobatics are PERFECT for this cover. Just wow!

[@sunshaped]

That’s a good way to put it.

[@Funckle73]

😍

[@gchance]

Acrobatics? Monotone.

[@BilisNegra]

@@gchance Monotone my ass. This is as good a cover of the song as it could get. Yes, acrobatics is an overstatement, but Chryssie didn't do any either in the original., the singing was quite honest and straightforward. They're not extremely gifted opera singers, but both have sung this song in a warm, powerful, enjoyable and unique way, though.

[@jimnewcombe7584]

Then perhaps silence is preferable.

[@Cyallaire]

When Morrisey sings this, the words are far clearer than in the original by Chrissy Hines. It’s got a mellower aspect with his delivery - but the theme is not mellow.
