Mostly, yes......... but please don't tell me you liked her pre-emptive nuclear strike on Rocket Man???

I used to know her, by the way.......... before she was famous......... :o

No, I didn't particularly like her version, but in general, she is brilliant.

A musical genius. She wrote wuthering heights when she was just a kid, 15 or so. Easily the most inventive and clever female artist Britain has produced.

Wish to god she hadn't. She may be a brilliant writer but her voice reminds me of scraping nails down a blackboard :eek:

Not actually a song cover in itself, but the Rosanne Barr version of the US national anthem "The Star Spangled Banner" at the start of MLB World Series back in the late 80's. Nearly 100,000 people near rioted....:eek:

Ah Bananarama - the girl band with a total aversion to harmonies (or do I mean inability?):D

As for Kate Bush; yes she is brilliant, but Rocket Man was not one of her best.
Wasn't too keen on the B side either which was a cover of Candle in the Wind.

Remember it well..... although more recently Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen) came a close second........

Yeah, but the Borat one would have been "in character", not someone proporting that they could sing.

Good point - but I don't think the (very unamused) audience bothered to stop and make that distinction...........

They (Americans) are very particular.
