I'm sorry to be pedantic but why change probably the most important word/phrase in the song?
Patricia O'Callaghan didn't need to. Ann Vreind didn't need to. I don't think Ofrin has 'got' the song.

I like a lot. She is an interesting girl. 8)

The rare thing is to listen to a woman singing I'm Your Man :shock: . This is the choice of the Avalanche Quartet, (Leonard Cohen Songs). Really this disc is wonderful for me.

Afraid I didn't like this version at all. Too 'pop-trying-to-be-lounge-trying-to-be-jazz' -y for my liking(and not succeeding at any).
Changing the word man for woman didn't really make sense within the overall lyric. It didn't even rhyme most of the time.
It all sounds very karaoke to me.

Yes!That's exactly what I thought, when I heard this cover version in the radio a couple of weeks ago.
