I absolutely loathe her version of that song. Cat Stevens was super influential on me during some formative years and to hear her hack through it... cuts the deepest. That song placed her fully into the same category as Rod Stewart - No Talent Ass-Clowns who have no originality, and a voice like sandpaper - and not in a good way. It's sad - because I used to kind of even like Sheryl. She had a few songs on earlier albums where the rasp in her voice worked in her favor - but she's dead to me now. And though I will concede that she probably had a "bigger hit" than Cat - it's garbage to the core. It's proof that even a great song can be ruined with ease.
