She does that song enormous justice. I first heard it on a bargain bin compilation album in the 90s (I was a ferocious collector of these compilation CDs and discarded soundtrack scores because of the guest tracks); http://www.discogs.com/Various-Common-Ground-Voices-Of-Modern-Irish-Music/release/3730233

She is almost as popular as them ice buckets, there’s no stopping her.
I’m running up that hill.
I’m walking now.
I’m just going to have a sit down.
Whenever I see her I just think of Alan Partridge!

I think you can still find her Late Late performance of ‘Wuthering Heights’ on You Tube – the audience seems delightfully nonplussed, looking, in the words of Bill Hicks, like a dog that’s just been shown a card trick.
At least they laughed at Boyzone.
