Susan can sing just about any genre of song she chooses. She sings with such feeling and still seems to select songs which carry a meaninful message from her own life experiences to send as encouragement to others. I have never yet heard Susan Boyle sing one song that I didn't love hearing/seeing her singing; and I have never heard her give a poor interview. She is gifted by the Lord Jesus Christ and is faithful to Him in her everyday life. To me she is the best singing entertainer today!
I love this woman. I love her in a good way. She inspires me in every aspect of my life. I hope that someday, I may travel to a concert to see her perform. By the way, I read her book, "The Woman I Was Born To Be". I'm not ashamed to tell you that I cried tears while I was reading the book.
Susan is God’s gift to the world. She sings with such clarity and passion. Susan is the GREATEST SINGER in the world. Stay safe during this unprecedented epidemic of 2020. You are soooooo loved❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️God Bless
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't listen to Susan sing. I am now listening to her while I plant my flower pots in my garden shed. The flowers just love her voice to!!!
I have never heard a singer that could sing so many different songs. She sings them better than the originals! The best voice ever! I am so glad she got on those buses to make it to the BGT, otherwise, we never would have heard her. One of the worlds best kept secrets, just had to get out! So glad. Susan you are wonderful!
Her voice in this song made me tear up, yeah im man enough to admit it. No matter what they say, your voice is amazing and you are very beautiful to me Susan!
I loved the Crowded House version of this song,but Susan Boyle's voice is so beautiful.I liked it she makes it her own song.So magical and haunting.One of my favorite from Susan Boyle.
This was done so good her voice was so spot on just beautiful! she is a beautiful woman and i hope she finds a nice man to treat her nice and share her life with.
Really ethereal version of the tune, custom tailored to Susan Boyle's streghts as a singer. As covers go, this one's a doozy. The guys in Crowded House had to love this. .
There will come a time in yourlife when you realize that looking a certain way means nothing. Beauty truely comes from within. When some of you grow up, it will make perfectly good sense. Susan is extremely beautiful.
Crowded House who wrote and recorded this song, can be very pleased with Susans' version. I am looking forward to her new album *The Gift* Good on you Susan,my best to you.
Just to clarify, Susan did have a role in selecting songs for both albums, as has Paul Potts with his product. If a singer is given a song with a story he or she has never lived the performance will never be fully realized. Producers know that. They also know if the artist is not emotionally invested in the music it will not work. I've been associated with the business for 50 years and know whereof I speak.
Fair enough. I don't want to come across as bashing Susan Boyle. She is tremendously talented and has the gift of a truly beautiful voice. I'm undoubtedly too much of a Crowded House/Neil Finn fan.
This song was written by Neil Finn and the Crowded House version is best IMO, but I'm pleased that Susan has recorded it, she's done a good job. But if you like this song check out Crowded House's other music, Intriguer their current album is sublime. I know that Crowded House are only known in the US for 2 songs, this one and Something so Strong but they have a huge back catalogue of excellent original songs that should not be ignored.
@75kwolfe I always thought it was a decent song, though not one that really elicited much feeling in me... That is, until I heard this version... When she sings the line: "But you'll never see the end of the road while you're traveling with me..." my heart simply melts...
@nickmilnes Nick, you're absolutely right. This is truly an exceptional and timeless song, but Neil Finn sings it best. I admire Susan's attempt and it's good. The lyrics are so great.
I'm correcting my prior assessment. I compared Crowded House to Susan Boyle as 4 to 1. Actually, CH was 3 when they released this in 1986. There is a platoon backing Susan Boyle. (The original 3 did better.) Still, we Crowdies fans should give Susan credit. Her version opens the song up to an entire new audience. That can't be bad, and it brings a new generation of royalties for the talented artists who brought us this song. Both sides can be happy, but the CH original still wins!.
I'm with you. Crowded House did this perfect the first time. There is no room for improvement from the original. It is the gold standard. Susan Boyle has a great voice but noone can sing a Neil Finn song with the passion that he does. He sings his songs from the heart in a way noone else can. And Crowded House was just too good a band. What they did as four can't be matched - much less topped - by a solo artist.
I disagree. It's not to improve, match, or top the original, but to pay tribute. By her covering it, I think it makes the original even more important. Because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself!
@Blacksandsmusic goodness you are late, I wrote my comments 1 year ago! You are, of course, entitled to your opinion about Ms Boyle's version of DDIO but as Neil Finn said "you can't choose who your children sleep with" and if this encourages people to check out the original or other Finn stuff while lining Neil's wallet I don't see any problem. Neil wins all round, and that makes me happy.
@starry2006 Wowwww are u serious the original lacks the feeling????Well I don't think u have ever gave it a listen I'm talking'bout Crowded House coz the younger generations think it's a Sixpence None the Richer's song!
I love her rendition of "Don't Dream its Over." It's absolutely lovely.

I'm a massive Crowded House fan and have to appreciate this song being sang by a good voice. Respect to Susan Boyle.

good old new zealand song! it has always been awesome
Really ethereal version of the tune, custom tailored to Susan Boyle's streghts as a singer. As covers go, this one's a doozy. The guys in Crowded House had to love this. .
@Caravaninthehills you're right..they are amazing musicians..and so is Susan...fantastic...
There will come a time in yourlife when you realize that looking a certain way means nothing. Beauty truely comes from within. When some of you grow up, it will make perfectly good sense. Susan is extremely beautiful.
En fantastisk dame med en utolig sterk stemme.

Izzy love's British 🎸 💘 Enjoy 2016.
Her voice is crystal nobody's laughing now are they !!!!
I'm speechless....this is just WONDERFUL!!! :D
She's an angel👼🏼👼🏼👼🏼👼🏼
this version opens up the great writing which is usually secluded by the kick arse melody
What A Powerful Lady, Amazing! This Is The Glory!
Susan I love you very much...you´re wonderfull!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice version. This is a very tough song to sing well.
I have goose bumps - best I have ever heard her - the song brings out the best in her voice - what do you think Neil Finn?
very beautiful she did a great job :)
I love this song...
I love this song. It suit susan after all.
VOce e perfeita Susan que Deus te abençoe sempre e que você continue sendo essa pessoa maravilhosa que você e ....
She is such a Gift !
+petalpinky1 exactly! Dreams do come true
Hi
To Me she is Madam of Super Singer.
Thank You!
This is really, really different to the original rockness of Crowded House but still awesome! I like the choir during the chorus
wonderfuuuuuuuuullll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this made me cry
she does justice to a great original
What a performance! Believe it or not I didn't like Susan Boyle until this song.
Crowded House who wrote and recorded this song, can be very pleased with Susans' version.
I am looking forward to her new album *The Gift* Good on you Susan,my best to you.
Powerful Susan Boyle
Just to clarify, Susan did have a role in selecting songs for both albums, as has Paul Potts with his product.

Un angel a la tierra bajo a cantar 🎶
Better than the original! OMG! Awesome, Susan!
A voz mais linda do século XXI
WOW - this was never a really "stand out" song to me, but what a difference she made with it!
Wow!!!!! She´s amazing
wow i thought she was 17 singing ! omg im surprised ! lovely voice
Fair enough. I don't want to come across as bashing Susan Boyle. She is tremendously talented and has the gift of a truly beautiful voice. I'm undoubtedly too much of a Crowded House/Neil Finn fan.
good on ya susan for saluting crowded house
This song was written by Neil Finn and the Crowded House version is best IMO, but I'm pleased that Susan has recorded it, she's done a good job.

Muito legal como a musica e uma linguaguem universal pois so ela troca energia entre povos diferentes...!!!!!!!!
susan,you're a god.
wow she did good...
@75kwolfe
I always thought it was a decent song, though not one that really elicited much feeling in me... That is, until I heard this version... When she sings the line: "But you'll never see the end of the road while you're traveling with me..." my heart simply melts...
16 people are trying to build a wall between us, we all know they wont win
@nickmilnes Nick, you're absolutely right. This is truly an exceptional and timeless song, but Neil Finn sings it best. I admire Susan's attempt and it's good. The lyrics are so great.

Both sides can be happy, but the CH original still wins!.
@thekkl That is my point of view. I love Susan. Nobody has the right of being against.
She is great. But this song is about something else.
Yeah, I prefer the original no doubt. My friend (RIP) named his dog Hey Now. Always resonates with me.
I'm with you. Crowded House did this perfect the first time. There is no room for improvement from the original. It is the gold standard. Susan Boyle has a great voice but noone can sing a Neil Finn song with the passion that he does. He sings his songs from the heart in a way noone else can. And Crowded House was just too good a band. What they did as four can't be matched - much less topped - by a solo artist.
The song sux but the rendition is MUCH better than crowded house.
Agreed again... Susan rocks the song and it did suck
So will I.
@rawhead I don't agree. I prefer covers that are more inventive and this helps transform what was an ok song into a good one.
I disagree. It's not to improve, match, or top the original, but to pay tribute. By her covering it, I think it makes the original even more important. Because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself!

for some strange reason she reminds me of lorraine kelly here
@roYster213 I don't agree, the original lacks the feeling this has. Sometimes the original can be bettered.
@Kennsysmith In that case, unless he's a hypocrite ,he will send back the 'royalty cheques. Do you want to place a bet on that happening?
@rawhead
just VOICE RYTHM.... nothing elses is needed.
@starry2006 Wowwww are u serious the original lacks the feeling????Well I don't think u have ever gave it a listen I'm talking'bout Crowded House coz the younger generations think it's a Sixpence None the Richer's song!
beautiful, but she's kind of rushing the beat...
