Not my “style”, but she really has a beautiful voice. It’s not bad, really.

thanks. Guess I’d like to know what Mick thinks about it. He was rather high on Devo’s version of “Satisfaction,” if I recall.

I guess there are singers that have as good a voice as hers but I find her sound most appealing.

To think she went undiscovered foe decades!

I looked for this earlier. Couldn’t find it. It was announced on BNO. It’s too slow for me. :~) I do like her though.

I agree with you on not ‘being my style’...I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the original Stones version....however, I think Boyle’s interpretation of this song is noteworthy.

What an incredible voice, and what an incredible choice. She created an entirely different song. I give it a 10.

Not my cup of tea, necessarily, but not bad. She sounds like someone else on this song, though, I just can't place the voice.

I was prepared not to like it but it is just beautifully done.

Reminds me of what Teal’c on SG-1 would say now and then, “Undomesticated equines could not remove me.” :-)

Yikes!!! How can you say such a thing? This is an amazing piece of music by a truly talented gal. Sharpen your music ears a bit and listen yourself. It's a thing of beauty.

And I would add that the really amazing thing is that music like this can still be popular. Maybe there is still hope for the human race - although we will have to wait until the current crop of teenagers matures (several decades) to find out.

Is her backup band named “Wyld Stallions”?

She reminds me a tiny bit of Sarah Brightman when Sarah is holding back, singing softly.

“Wild Horses” is a beautiful song.

Susan Boyle has a beautiful voice.

But I don’t think they go together that well. Ms.Boyle has more of a showtune/opera voice, and Wild Horses calls for a voice that is a bit more twangy and bluesy.

This isn’t bad, but it suffers in comparison to the original.

OK, let me get my asbestos suit on.

Boyle’s interpretation of this song is noteworthy.

At first I was going to remark on the dry, academic sound of this remark but then I realized that you made a dry, academic sounding pun.

can’t be any worse than Pavarotti “interpreting” “It’s a Man’s World.”
