There are voices that touch you and then there is Susan Boyle. With her hauntingly lovely version of The Rolling Stones’ Wild Horses, she is truly amazing and shows that real talent crosses boundaries. Susan turns this rock classic into a very sensitive ballad full of exposure and unrefined passion with every note.
Her voice has a little but strong intensity from the first note-on-singing that draws one straight away. The sensitive piano arrangement and symphonic background helps to produce the dreamlike feel of the song, so it reads nearly like flawless poetry in motion. Susan’s performance is one of her most notable ones because of her capacity to sustain long, painful notes with seeming ease.

This song is so much more than what meets the ear. In a way only Susan can emphasize the yearning, love, and loss by stripping it down to its emotional heart. With her strong tone, it feels like she’s narrating her own life, so every line strikes even more forcefully than normal.
You also have to see another stunning performance—Susan’s unforgettable live version of You Have to Be There—if you enjoy this one. This performance highlights her operatic strength and provides evidence that her sheer strength and beauty of her voice can move mountains.
