Susan Boyle’s ‘Wild Horses’ Performance: A Heavenly Gift That Stunned the World!
Tucked away in Boyle’s debut studio album, 2009’s I Dreamed a Dream, is a cover of “Wild Horses” that is as sonically impressive as it gets. While the Got Talent icon rose to stardom thanks to unforgettable covers of classic Christian hymns and larger-than-life Broadway hits (and one viral audition), she proved she could take a song that the Rolling Stones made popular and create something truly unique.
Boyle’s falsetto is unreal. In fact, the only thing more impressive than her falsetto is how she effortlessly moves into her chest voice with precision. (It’s not easy.)
There’s a certain gritty, raw feel to the Rolling Stones’ version of this timeless song, and Boyle had a challenge ahead of her when recording her version. As it turns out, all she had to do was showcase her unbelievable vocal talent and let her passion shine through. Her version of “Wild Horses” is undeniably powerful.
The high notes, especially at the 2:25 mark, are jaw-dropping, aren’t they? Listen for yourself, above.
song performed in this manner before, you’re not wrong. Boyle famously sang “Wild Horses” during the Season 4 finale and tore the house down.
