That song is way out of her league.
And what the fuck is going on with all the vibrato? She sounds like she's riding a washing machine on the spin cycle.

I think if she was in a studio she'd do a better job.
She does have a good voice.
But I agree I'm not a fan of that vibrato. And I can't really see anyone singing it better than the original.

It has been said
that Kate Bush deliberately wrote songs that pretty much only she could sing.
They have been described as doing a vocal assault course.

Pretty apt description.
I used to be in a large choir with some exceptionally good singers. Hearing some of the ladies attempt her songs was pretty entertaining!
We used to get pretty drunk on the tour coach, and sing drinking songs, and hearing some of the ladies try it while completely wasted was just fantastic!

I'd liked to hear Nina Hagen sing it (then).
Or Laure Le Prunenec (Igorr, Corpo mente)

She's a bit of a genuine national treasure in my book.
That's just her messing around doing karaoke in her front room, doing a really difficult song, and she's doing it pretty bloody well.
She seems nice, has got a good voice, so why the hate?

I worked a gig at Cartmel Races last year where she was the support act for Cliff Richard.
She didn't take herself too seriously and the crowd seemed to find her entertaining. Her tight gold catsuit made watching from backstage entertaining too...
(Cliff was...odd...)

There's something a bit off
- being a professional singer with a karaoke rig in your front room "for parties". Ok, we get it mate, you sing good, can we just get on with having a few drinks and a laugh?
Then refusing to sing what the kids want, but doing your own favourite instead.
I mean, I don't hate it, but she's just putting me in mind of my semi-acquaintance Gary the Goth who used to always sing his fucking stupid Cure cover versions whenever he was left alone for 5 minutes with a guitar, while everyone tried not to look embarrassed.
It's not a bad rendition (even speaking as a fan of Kate), but it feels a bit wrong.

I thought “Not singing what the audience wants” is an integral part of Karaoke?
She’s okay, but she’s done better covers.

My theory is that men in their 50s and over, who have been wanking over Kate Bush for decades, are overprotective of her.
That said, S.E-B is attention hungry and has delusions of grandeur. If her mum wasn't famous she'd have probably not even made it as a one hit wonder.

I'm not saying she and Mark Curry drink virgin blood, but they are looking well.
In partial seriousness, I'm sure she knows where a lot of bodies are buried (having worked in children's BBC shows from the late 70s).
