SuBo covers Stones

Posted Tue 15 Sep 2009 12:45PM BST by Johnny Famethrowa in Touching The Void
For those of us who have given-up on the awful new "X-Factor" format, a reminder of happier days, when the contrived auditions actually worked on the "Opportunity Knocks"-style ding dong of "Britain's Got Talent". It may seem like an age ago but it's just a few months since Susan Boyle shocked the world by opening up her mouth, letting the angels pour out and dance all over Simon Cowell's stunned face. Evidence of her continuing fame was there for all to see this weekend, when she was mobbed by fans in Los Angeles.

Around 50 paparazzi where also on-hand at LAX, as SuBo jetted in for her upcoming appearance on the final of "America's Got Talent". Around 20 million people are expected to watch her sing, in the build-up to the release of debut album, "I Dreamed A Dream". Meanwhile, her cover of The Rolling Stones' classic "Wild Horses" has been leaked ahead of its official release as the first single from the album, which is out in November.

Don't know The Stones original, but have just listened to Portishead's "The Rip" but can't decide if it's a direct cover or not. It's very similar to this, but tons better.
