Are we sure it isn't an Xtina cover? I hope it's not! 'Hurt' by Johnny Cash is one of my fave songs of all time. I literally cannot wait to hear it :D

I wonder how much input she has into what songs she covers.. I have always hoped they are her ideas because if so - she has amazing music taste IMO.

Ooh her doing Hurt could be epic :o Had it been the Xtina version it would've been extremely copycat, she could do something realy good with it!

 

I wonder which one she's performing on the XF final? Iris maybe with it's mini-revival?

 

She'd be mental not to sing Iris. Especially now that it's in the general public's psyche again.

 

This would be her third cover she's sang on X Factor then?

Technically, it'd be her 22nd, but yes, her third as a guest performer :P

AHHH SO EXCITED. Thanks for posting Rain, and that is such a beautiful cover, hope they change glass heart one now to something more classly like this one. :wub: So excited! :dance: :heart:

 

 

Wow colour blind is going to be unbelievably beautiful can see it now.

 

MikeyJosh i think she chooses the songs herself, she does have a great music taste she loves her soft rock.

 

So Hurt isnt a cover of Christina's? I guess along with the other two it'd be a bit odd, they all soft rock songs, so looking forward to this. I think she'll probably perform Hurt, with it being the first track and title of the EP.

3 covers?! FFS.

I did laugh when I initially thought it would be Darius' Colourblind.

:lol:

 

I'd rather have a Christmas EP tbh.

will this be allowed to chart?

I think they'll chart individually on the singles chart. :) So obviously one she performs on X Factor say Iris for example that would chart in the top 40 i would hope say.. :D I think anyway.

I think the whole EP will chart on the Singles Chart until the title of 'Hurt'.

I can't see the single doing anything tbh, there's no hype around it. No airplay etc. I guess it might chart around #30 though!

Lee as far as i'm aware none of the covers are being sent to radio or have a video.

Maybe it'll work as Theo said but really not sure.

It aint been sent to radio because it isn't official single? The EP is just for fans because the album was delayed, So if they do chart thats a bonus. :)

Will the EP be released on CD or just download?

She sang Hurt tonight at the recording of the Royal Variety Performance.

As if she's covering Nine Inch Nails...Chris will not be happy.

Never heard that Counting Crows song I have to admit...

 

damn right.

I know it's not an orginal song by him. I've heard the original and think his version in a hundred times better.

Well put WithUrCher :) :P

 

I think Hurt will be the song most advertised as its the title, also i read that its released THIS FRIDAY (9TH DECEMBER) is it on iTunes pre-order yet? or HMV? Its already on amazon for pre-order.

 

 

The original 'Colourblind' is used in my favourite film ever (Cruel Intentions). I'm interested to hear them all, fairly good choices.

she looked amazing at the Royal Variety. She sang 'Hurt' and 'Somebody To Love' by Queen with Cee-Lo :D

I'll be honest I was tired and purposefully being an arse then, I like tripping people up when they think it's originally by Johnny Cash. Which your post doesn't really suggest. Johnny's version is beautiful though, literally brings tears to my eyes. Hurt is my favourite song ever written. shame Leona Lewis is going to ruin it.
