Remember when we all laughed at Susan Boyle because she had a funny face? Then she started singing and everyone said in unison; ‘Wow, you can have a funny face AND sing! Who knew?!’ Remember?
Then, when the initial shock of Boyle’s voice ebbed away, everyone went back to pointing and laughing at her. Remember that?
Well, she’s going to turn that hooting mockery into hatred from Depeche Mode fans. That’s because a) Depeche Mode fans are some of the weirdest, most dedicated, joyless nutters you’ll ever meet and b) Susan Boyle has recorded a cover version of a Depeche Mode song.
Susan Boyle is returning to the CD racks with her third LP, ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’.
On the album she tackles ‘Unchained Melody’ which has never been covered before, but more interestingly, she’ll be crooning ‘Mad World’ and, here you go Depeche Mode fans, ‘Enjoy The Silence’.
This will drive Depeche Mode fans insane with unwarranted grief as they see one of their favourite songs wrestled away by someone from a talent show.
The only other times they will have felt this awful is when Dave Gahan nearly died of a smack overdose, which was nearly as bad as when The Saturday’s covered ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ (or indeed, Crazy Frog’s cover).
Depeche Mode couldn’t give two hoots about their back catalogue could they?

Just love all the negativity from people who haven’t even heard it yet. That goes to show that their prejudicial opinion means sh!t.
Ken says
I can’t wait to hear her version. I love Susan.

DM fan here (since 94-95) I haven’t really heard anything by Susan and I don’t mind if she makes a cover. There are tons of bad covers of the song already, and my guess is this wont’ be the worst.
Paul says
We are not joyless nutters, your confusing us with Smiths fans!!
Her cover is ok i guess but i’d rather it was done by someone with some real credentials.

http://www.depmode.com – That’s how this song would be performed by Depeche Mode Alan Walder has not changed the creative process by Martin Gore. Martin originally wanted it to be a ballad. – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_OGmQCh5x0
