Love the cover. I prefer her version over the original which is still amazing.
Bright Lights is so fantastic. All of the tracks are spectacular and I didn't think I'd love Your Song but I fell in love with it after the second listen. I hope they decide to release Bright Lights in the U.S. and just skip releasing Lights.

There is a live recorded video off it too.
I also prefer her version over original, it's incredible how she always makes her covers better than original.
And i also loved her performance of Your Song there too.

Is there any word on when Cherrytree is launching her stateside? I heard that "Lights" is coming out here sometime in 2011, but that was months ago.

Nope i think that's all that has been mentioned, wasn't it said Q1 2011? I wonder if she'll be having a tour in the states as well once it's released and do bunch of promos there maybe? I would love to see her get some success in the US as well and then maybe take over the world after that hehe :).

Came in here and I thought you all were saying that her version of 'Your Song' is better than the original. WAS ABOUT TO SAY!
But yes, she almost makes OG(ITW) bearable to listen to, so I'd absolutely consider that a success.

The original is one of the greatest songs of all-time. Trust Steven. :'( Her version is definitely a nice one.

U.S has loved her so far based off her tours hopefully those who still haven't heard of her will fall in love as well :). According to this website www.popinstereo.com/archives/16185 she's going to perform May 7th.
