Ellie Goulding Shines 'Lights' on 'Saturday Night Live'

Hosted by former cast member Tina Fey, the show was fittingly centered on Mother's Day, with the six-months-pregnant funny girl bringing out Maya Rudolph, also expecting, to sing a duet dedicated to their unborn babies.
Before Goulding performed, skits included a parody of Bravo's TV show, 'Pregnant In Heels,' Rudolph starring in a birth-class sketch that poked fun at old home-birthing films and Fey acting as 'SNL' character Bedelia's mother and the expected Sarah Palin appearance, of course played by Fey again.
When the British songstress had her time to shine, she showcased her slim figure in a black leather dress. Ellie, fittingly draped in a cascade of lights, moved into her Richard Stannard and Ash Howes-produced slice of indie pop goodness, 'Lights.' Her tender vocals commenced the song with, "I had a way then losing it all on my own/ I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown/ And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat/ And I'm not keeping now, the strength I need to push me."
On the new music front, the 24-year-old talent has her sights set on working with folk-rockers Mumford and Sons on a new tour. "I'm friends with them and I know that they are fun on tour," Goulding told Spinner. "We've bumped into each other a couple of times in the UK ... It would be nice to see a band that I'm a really big fan of every night."

SHE'S EITHER GREAT or people are so fed up with anything
Gaga-Perry-Ke$ha-Minaj related that this is a breath of fresh air.........suggest she study Lauper if she wants
a long and diverse career as a vocalist/songwriter.

Her version of Elton John's Your Song was a disgrace. I would rather listen to nails on chalkboard than that. Ruined that song forever for me.

Always amazed what SNL calls talent especially in its music guests. Most of the groups would sound better if you had them hold onto their instruments and then threw them down a flight of stairs! This untalented chippy is no different. I have heard better voices at my daughter’s music open mike for 12-13 year olds! I have to give her credit though for not using a pitch machine; at least when you hear her album, you’ll know she is enhanced like most of the untalented people pretending to be vocalists. And when you call her a folk artist you truly demean all the real women with great voices that came before…Joan Baez, Linda Ronstadt, Judy Collins, Ani DiFrance, etc… My guess she’ll be a “one hit wonder†at best!
