Its a sin that What have I done to deserve this?? isnt being played Live lately. I am sure I would like to see that the song would be sung by Sylvia Mason-James replacing the part of Dusty, that would be amazing. I never heard or read of this being done before. The last time this song was done live was was Montage to my knowlege, when they did a tribute to dusty. I am sure they can stoop down and have Robbie William singing that song with them

I kinda like that they're giving the song a break. Besides, it opened up a spot so they could play Heart, which wasn't in a live show since the 89 tour.

I think Sylvia's a good singer. I really like her singing "I'll survive" together with Neil singing "It's a sin". But for What have I done to deserve this?, it's a different case. Simply think her voice doesn't suit the song (and no one can replace Dusty also).

Sylvia can sing it just as well as any other singer. So why not, I do not mind to hear her sing this song with Neil.

I love the song so it'd be great if they did do it live with Sylvia. Or, they could do what they did on the Nightlife tour and perform with Dusty's original vocals.

They have also sung the song with Melissa Etheridge and Cerys from Catatonia. But both versions were shit.

I voted for 'nobody can replace Dusty'. The 1999 tour tribute was really great. With all respect for female vocalists such as Cerys and Melissa, their takes on the song can't even stand in the shadow of the way Dusty performed it.

I have to say that other than the original, the best version of this was on the Performance tour, where the coda of 'we don't have follow paths/we don't have to fight/we don't need to go to hell/every night' was really brought out and gave the song a whole new dimension - one of their finest moments

I thought it was "We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight..." Otherwise I agree. That was a great moment during the Performance tour.

Would you like to see Sylvia Mason-James sing What have I done to deserve this?? live with Neil on a regular basis?
