What was it called and who did the original?

Songbird by Fleetwood Mac

Thanks

Try listening to Eva Cassidy's version, it's truly beautiful.

I don't often watch Xfactr, I dont like all the novelty acts, for crying out loud Rydian or that Leon may well win it but we have a swing artist, an awful quasi opera bloke and a creepy brother and sister left, all acts that surely dont stand a chance of a long term career. I don't like women singers on the whole, but for the first time ever watching this series I saw that girl singing Songbird and I was genuinely impressed. Why do they always have to sing like Christina Aguliera to impress the public and the judges?

[SurreyGuy]

B00 - you're right! Better than the Fleetwood Mac version IMO.

Goodsoulette - I agree about "Same Difference". They appear to be tooooooooooo close (if you get my drift!).

[Goodsoulette]

Its weird isn't it. Have always though that about the white Stripes, although it doesnt stop me buying tickets to see them or buying their album,

[Legolassie]

I've always thought from the beginning that there is something very weird about Same Difference. I have 6 brothers and at party's we sing together but I would never look at my brother the same way she does, and I love all my brothers. Seems very very strange!!!

[SurreyGuy]

Maybe they were inspired by a past storyline in Brookside (I'm saying no more) :o)

Having said that, the sister is quite cute. I actually think she looks more attractive when she DOESN'T smile - usually in the VT bit just before they sing.
