Brave song to cover and I think she does it brilliantly.

Carrying on this theme though - back in the early 80's there was a very cheesy ballad sung by Charlene called "Never Been To Me"; however, for those of you old enough to remember it, did you know that it was originally written from a man's perspective?

I've put links to both below - see which you prefer.

The Temptations

Charlene
I really like the Temptations funker stuff.
I didn't conect the two songs when Charlene was in the chart's but they do sound way different

I think she's taken a well known song and put her edge to it, as with everything, there'll be lovers and haters (biffy clyro/matt cardle for example). I'm personally not a fan of Elton John, however I think that Ellie has done the song justice and also helped make it accessable to a younger audience, which is never a bad thing!

I always thought it was about a parent singing to their newborn child.

"how wonderful life is, now you're in the world".

No?
Just me then.
