So why has she covered Ash's Shining Light and made it into an MORish bag of shite?

You are a shining li-uht! NO, NO, NO NOOOOO!

They were playing it on Radio Two this morning and they didn't appear to be laughing about it....

It seemed serious when she sang it on Jonathan Ross. She was also rubbish.

Well would you rather Beyonce sang it then?!. Hate people being so precious about a song. Why are Ash so sacrosanct?.

Ash are actually pretty much honoured that she's covered their song. If she goes on to encourage someone else who has not heard of Ash to give their music a hearing then great. Also Ash are copping the royalties for this and have been fully credited.

Ash aren't sacrosanct, Attila.

But that is a godawful version of the song.

If they're honoured she's covered it they need their ears testing... will they be getting royalties, if it's for Comic Relief?

Annie Lennox makes my teeth hurt...sooo pious about everything.

Heated · 13/03/2009 20:30

My dad knows her and likes her. Less pious in RL.

I like the song too but not the video.

she 's on now
a least she can sing, unlike the plastic Saturdays on earlier
