Maxwell's cover of Kate Bush's "Rhis Woman's Work" and a great new UK artist from here in Manchester called Daley covering Usher's "Climax" (that doesn't sound right does it?).

Crazy - Katie Meluah (why do I always want to say 'Meluah' in a Geordie voice??)

Mike Batt, who wrote it, originally recorded it in the 70's, but it was shite.

No, no, no.

Dolly delivers an open, heart-rending delivery. The Bodygaurd thing is just over-produced gloss.

Nick Cave manages to squeeze more depth and feeling into his version of let it be than macca could muster in an entire career...which reminds me of caves and share macgowans version of what a wonderful world. which id s hoot. if you're pissed

Totally agree. You can almost hear Dolly cry when she sings it
