"Stay" by Shakespear's Sister: The Best-Sung song ever!!!

Well isn't it?

Shakespear's Sister is no longer with us and broke up shortly after "Stay" made them famous, but they didn't disappear before delivering a pitch-perfect performance of their classic hit "Stay". The singing is a perfect blend of ticks, desperation and a heightened anxiety that doesn't ring one false note.

I dare anyone to tell me what song is better sung then "Stay".

There was a time where I played the live version over and over and over again, just amazed at the beauty, the intensity and melancholy, in her voice.
