Susan Boyle sings the Rolling Stones’ Wild Horses

I happened to catch Susan Boyle singing Wild Horses on the finale of America’s Got Talent last night purely by accident.

Although I admit to be a reality show whore,  America’s Got Talent just isn’t my cup o’ tea. But nothing happened to be on TV last night and as I scanned the stations I came across the show.

‘Oh, it’s that Susan Boyle chick,’ I thought to myself as I paused on ABC, willing to give her a listen. The only time I have ever heard Susan sing was on YouTube singing Les Miserables’, “I Dreamed a Dream.” Which, is great, but being as I have never seen the Broadway show or heard the song (I know, I know..) it didn’t have much significance to me.

On the flip side..

Hearing Boyle sing the Stones was a jaw dropper for me. I mean, c’mon, the ROLLING STONES?  Who can sing a tune of theirs and leave you in awe besides Mick Jagger? Susan Boyle can. And Wild Horses is such a beautiful song. I heard it at a funeral earlier this year and now when I hear it, it has new meaning.

If you haven’t heard it, take a quick listen. It’s beautiful!

Robin Williams’ rep is denying reports that his client will play Susan Boyle in a movie made about the singing sensation’s life.

The Telegraph, a UK publication, claimed that Robin confirmed the role personally, even adding false quotes to their story.

If you were hoping to catch Williams in a reprise role of a homely female, you are out of luck. But never fear, I have the perfect idea for casting. I think I might know who would be a fab-u-lous Susan Boyle!

Helena Bonham Carter anyone? Thank you, I’ll accept that casting director job anytime now!
