The day has finally arrived: an X Factor (ex)contestant released a cover of a goth song!



It's surprisingly OK. What next Rhydian? NIN? Alien Sex Fiend? For those 99% of you that don't know, this is a cover of the 90s goth classic "Tower of Strength" by The Mission UK:



I was in high school at the time and I remember recording this video from MTV onto one of my many VHS compilation tapes. It probably sat alongside something by the Cocteau Twins and The Smiths. I never bought any of their CDs, mind. Nor have I ever been to Whitby.

No songs are sacred or off limits.
