  • Look, if Neil wasn't madly impressed by her cover of his song, that is a bit sad but he has a right to his opinion but, having said that, just maybe he would agree that she didn't completely butcher it and gave it a different dimension,

  • hey no hey no don't dreamm it's over!!!

  • A lovely child-like quality.

  • WOW - WOW - WOW - I think this is going to be the standout track on this new CD for you Susan. And I am sure that Neil Finn will have no problem with you singing this song for as long as you live!!! You just put soooooo much feeling into it. All I can say is congratulations!!!!!!

  • @TheHotshotmama I saw Neil Finn play last night in Sydney and he did indeed comment on Susan Boyle singing this song. His very words were " Without Sounding facetious, you can't choose who your children sleep with..."

  • @Kennsysmith Quite frankly I don't understand what's the meaning of that comment "Without Sounding facetious, you can't choose who your children sleep with..." Can you translate that for me?!

  • @sethqat What he was saying was that once an artist writes and releases their music (their children) the artist can't pick and choose who can do a cover version of it.

  • @Kennsysmith Thanks buddy! At first I thought it was a negative comment about Susan Boyle... :(

  • @Kennsysmith Hang on a minute: last time I heard, people DID chose who their children sleep with. What about all those artists who refuse to let Glee cover their songs?

  • @sethqat 

  • @Kennsysmith Bet he took the 'Royalty Cheque's though. A bit of a hypocrit maybe .h'mm!!!!!

  • @dossery100 Where's the hypocrasy? He wrote the song. He should receive any and all royalties. He obviously feels luke warm about her covering the song. Ask Susan or her handlers if she feels like sending all the proceeds from this one cover back to Neil. That would be a nice gesture.

  • @dossery100 If he felt that strongly (badly) about her recording it he could easily have given the proceeds to charity. Otherwise, he should have said nothing. like a true professional.KR's

  • Absolutely beautiful.

  • Just soooo perfect and spine-tingling!!! Lady Susan's voice is just full of emotion ... so clear and moving. I've never heard her in better VOICE ... and the kids' choir perfectly complimented SUSAN'S singing. I'm eagerly awaiting The Gift CD more than ever, but I can't imagine the CD TRACK bettering this powerful performance on OPRAH .....

  • Neil Finn of Crowded House who wrote this song has just been awarded the Q award for Classic Song Writing - he has written hundreds of songs like this one for Crowded House - well done Neil and thank you Susan for recording this you have good taste in music.
