After weeks of buildup (and an "America's Got Talent" performance that was canceled at the last minute), we now finally have an opportunity to check out Susan Boyle's rendition of "Perfect Day." It is a slow, powerful version of the Lou Reed classic sure to make her fans quite satisfied. If you were a fan of any of her performances on "I Dreamed a Dream," this song is exactly in the same vein.
The rest of the album definitely does have Simon Cowell's touch on it, as it includes the Leonard Cohen classic "Hallelujah" (already known by many to be one of former "American Idol" judge's favorite songs of all time). Check out the full tracklist from the album (entitled "The Gift") below:
2. Hallelujah
3. Do You Hear What I Hear (Duet with Amber Stassi)
4. Don't Dream It's Over
5. The First Noel
6. O Holy Night
7. Away in A Manger
8. Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace
9. Auld Lang Syne
10. O Come All Ye Faithful
If the songs weren't already a giveaway, the album definitely has a sort of Christmas feel to it. Susan gave a brief statement discussing the goal of the ten songs:
