This was just plain painful to hear.  Sinead has nothing like Kate's
range or control and she was trying to sing parts of it in the key
that Kate used with miserable results.  We had to immediately play
the original version just to purge our ears of that travesty.

I think someone here has quoted Sinead from another benefit as saying 
she couldn't do the part justice.  I think Peter Gabriel should take 
her word for it and stop asking her to.
