[Listen] The Horrors - "Best Thing I Never Had" (Beyonce Cover) Live in Radio One's Live Lounge
As we know, when artists step into the BBC Radio One Live Lounge anything can happen, remember when Chase and Status covered Foo Fighters? Or maybe Friendly Fires covering Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory"? The results of that enchanted room can be equally awesome as they are cringe worthy. Today's guest in the Live Lounge was The Horrors who we've already seen a few times this week in the form of a performance of Jools Holland and their official video for "I Can See Through You". The thign that took me by surprise this morning was when Fearne Cotton gave us the choice of songs The Horrors may cover. Britney Spears, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Beyonce were the 4 unsual picks and the results may surprise you.
After performing yet another solid rendition of "I Can See Through You" the time was upon them to announce their cover. The band went for Beyonce's "Best Thing I Never Had" turning it into a dark and haunting guitar filled jam. Check it out below and let us know what you make of it. I think they did well to make it their own.
