I love all aspects of it but her harmonizing. The original's harmony was fine, why'd she change it?

I was listening to FM radio this morning (shut up, its the only option in my work van) and I heard Weezer's cover of Africa that was apparently inspired by a twitter campaign started by a 14-year-old girl name Mary.

What's wrong with listening to the radio? Anyway, funny that people are messing with science's favorite song.

Something about this seems totally charmless.

I like the Weezer one though. They always seem Very Serious about Having Fun when they do stuff like this.
nope.

I spoke incorrectly here. The original's harmonizing isn't fine. It isn't close to fine. It's absolutely flawless. It's perfect and haunting. I can't imagine how much they practiced to sound that good:

Just kidding.

Well, not just kidding. Although I'll be the first to confess I have a soft-spot for naively consonant harmonizing. Nevertheless, even Judith got sick of singing the same pop ditties over and over to swooning crowds and packed it up to mix things up a bit with a much less successful but probably more enjoyable jazz career.
