"if you don't happen to like what she does it's not spitting or snarling at those who do"

Aye, a bit over the top!
I don't personally dig the SuBo myself, but I have no thoughts or feelings whatsoever about those who do. Why on earth would I?

I thought her Wild Horses was quite nice - it showed a lighter more elegant side to her range, which I personally preferred to the show tunes. She has a voice that would be better in light opera or choral to my thoughts however, and I don't think this song was a good choice for her at all, as it's a song about passion and pain. It felt like "singing by numbers" - lacking in emotional tone due to a seeming human disengage.
