SuBo's getting stoned
Susan Boyle to sing Rolling Stones on America's Got Talent

By Dan Wootton, 13/09/2009
SINGING spinster Susan Boyle is back in the saddle - with a cover of the Rolling Stones' track WILD HORSES, we can reveal.

The Scottish sensation, 48, will perform Mick Jagger's 1971 ballad on America's Got Talent on Wednesday.

And her rendition - which sources say is "an absolute show-stopper" - will also be the first single from her first album.

SuBo was due to arrive in Los Angeles last night from London's Heathrow airport, where she was spotted in a comfy grey tracksuit. A source said: "Her opening performance to promote her album will be in front of 20 million TV viewers - so the stakes could hardly be higher.

"But her cover of Wild Horses is sensational and people will be blown away.

"Simon Cowell is a very happy man right now."

SuBo's album, I Dreamed A Dream, will be released on November 23 under Cowell's SyCo label - and is set to be a Christmas hit on both sides of the Atlantic.

It includes the Les Miserables song Susan first wooed the world with on ITV's Britain's Got Talent last spring.

Actually not bad at all. Suitably different from The Stones' version to enable it not to have to be compared with it.

That said, I reserve the right to absolutely hate it when its rammed down my throat for weeks on end after it's released.

Hope it does well for her - and I'm sure Mick & Keith will be rubbing their hands at the potential royalties

Move to the UK, my dear, and I guarantee that you'll quickly find that anything that has Simon Cowell's stamp on it will be rammed down your throat - TV, radio or newspapers, there's no friggin' escape.

The man has absolutely taken over the music industry, and isn't too shy about letting everyone know it, with a smug facial expression that suggests he's either learned how to fellate himself or has just discovered £1 million in his arse.

I must say, the chick can flat out sing. I agree with Gazza. It is just different enough from the Stone's original that it will be a crossover hit. And yes, it will be crammed down our throats because of the Cowell factor. That said, bravo Susan!

Yeah, but you can only escape so much over here for the most part. I try to remain oblivious, but when you even have the bizarre spectacle of our cretinous Prime Minister issuing statements on his concern for Susan Boyle's health (oddly enough, he was nowhere to be found when the media - quite reasonably - were looking for a quote from him on the release of the Lockerbie bomber), it's a losing battle.

The Arsewipe Culture has won, unfortunately.

We live with it 24/7 in the UK...it's about time the bubble burst. It's a toss-up of 2 tossers as to who really runs this country...Peter Mandelson or Simon Cowell.

She's a fantastic singer for sure! And I like her cover a lot. I also really like the version on Tim Ries' album with Norah Jones on vocals. But neither of 'em move me like the original, not even close. The original sometimes makes me stop whatever I'm doing and just stare into empty space. It can be quite dangerous when it comes on when I'm driving.

I don't know about listening to a theme from Cats, FG, but I hear plenty of pain and longing in Susan Boyle's cover of Wild Horses.
