As well as Amazing Grace --oh my god, that might be the best version ever.

n addition to the Stones cover "Wild Horses," which Boyle recently performed on "America's Got Talent," the album will reprise her heart-stirring cover of the "Lés Misérables" song "I Dreamed a Dream," as well as such inspirational standards as "How Great Thou Art," "Amazing Grace" and "Silent Night."

Boyle will also tackle the jazz standard "Cry Me a River," Madonna's 1995 song "You'll See," the Monkees' "Daydream Believer," the contemporary folk tune "Up to the Mountain," the 1960s pop song "The End of the World" and a song called "Proud."

Also included is one original track written for Boyle, called "Who I Was Born to Be." One of Boyle's other beloved covers, "Memory" from the musical "Cats," however, is not included in the collection.

I cant wait until november 24!

Oh and she has not changed, she now has her own webpage and just updated it today, part of her comments:

Everyone treated me so well that I was humbled. I met some wonderful people who were very kind and gave me words of great encouragement. Thank you especially to all of those who made the journey to the television studios to watch my performance on America’s Got Talent. Your warm applause and encouragement helped me through my nerves. Sharon Osborne was very kind and came to my dressing room to wish me luck and I was very honoured to meet David Hasslehoff and it was great to see Piersy Baby again!

I went to Disneyland and went on Splash Mountain which was fantastic! I also achieved one of my personal ambitions which was to see the stars on the pavement in Hollywood.

She has such a breadth and range, she can sing anything. Her version of Wild Horses by Mick Jagger..he said she did better than any of his versions.

It is haunting but in a strange way..it made me understand the song in a form i never did before

she doesnt just have the...technical range and ability to hit the notes, but as my music teacher said "her voice has a voice".

her voice is unique..and she can simply stand at a microphone, no theatrics and transfix the world. rare.
