Beautiful song by Susan Boyle

This is reportedly going to be Susan's next single. It's been on radio 2 all week and all the lads at work love it. It's cover of the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses".

I think it's fantastic.

yup, it's confirmed as her first single. I think it's a beautiful take on the song albeit not an original take. I don't really 'like' susan boyle as I don't think she is anything special but I love her version of this song

I saw her sing that on US Idol/Factor. She doesn't have a good voice, even by TV singing contest standards. Her talent is being able to just about hold a tune (some of the time) despite being an old uggo.

yeah, I watched her on the finale of America's Got Talent also and she just practically screamed part of the song. It's her first real performance though and there was a lot of pressure so I'll let her away with it

'Beautiful song by Susan Boyle' does not compute!

I think its very good. She has a superb voice IMO.

The Sunday's version is far superior.

Yawn?

No, she is bloody awful singer, ugly as sin and a borderline head case.

No1 Attraction in the Simon Cowell traveling freakshow, nothing more.

Ugly - Yes
Borderline Head Case - Yes

Bloody Awful Singer - Not a chance, fair enough she is no Mariah but she is far from bloody awful.

The woman can sing for sure.

You can't argue she has a great singing voice, certainly not my taste in music/style but still a great voice.

Tonally cringeworthy in places.

Couldn't agree more... Sign on the cruddy live talent show times we live in I guess...

Oh she is, thats a professionally recorded track in the link and she still sounds like a one dimensional tone deaf warbler.

Your just being silly, yes she doesn't have the greatest voice in the world and she is definatey one dimensional but she is NOT a bloody awful singer. Thats me in the shower or the morons that audition for x factor that sound more like someone stamping on a bog full of kittens. She has a reasonable voice end of.
