Nadine Coyle wows fans with 'powerful' performance of 'Zombie'

Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle has wowed fans with her 'powerful' performance of 'Zombie'.

The Co Derry woman performed The Cranberries' hit on last night's RTE The Ultimate Playlist when the song was crowned the greatest Irish hit of all time by RTÉ 2fm listeners.

The performance was part of the station's call to compile 'The Ultimate Irish Playlist'.

Nadine's fans were left impressed by her performance.

One Twitter user said: “Powerful version of Zombie, well done Nadine Coyle.”

Another added: “To be entirely fair to Nadine Coyle, that was magnificent."

Before the performance while discussing The Cranberries, Nadine said: "They're just iconic. What a huge Irish band.

"I'm always so proud when I go out and do things and people say 'you're from where The Cranberries are from'. It is one of my absolute favourite songs.

"We all wish Dolores was here and could do it herself. But I just feel it's going to be ok."

Host Tracy Clifford said: "This was named best song at the 1995 MTV Europe Music Awards.

"As well as a hit in Ireland and the UK, it topped the charts in Australia, France, Germany, Denmark, Belgium and Iceland. But it all started in Limerick City.

"Their success is down to their unique sound with Dolores' powerful voice being the most distinctive element."

DJ Dave Fanning said Zombie is a song of its time and added: "Nobody is ever going to agree with these 20. The really weird thing about this is there are two hit singles by this band that I prefer."
