• Brian O Shea • Crighton Goodwill }} }} "Love Is All Around" was covered by South African singer Jody Williams, who released it as the first single from her debut album Just Gonna Be Me. It was released on December 10, 2007. The song was scheduled as the "winner's song" in the fourth season of Idols (South Africa) and was performed by both Jody and competition runner-up, Andriëtte Norman. On December 9, 2007, Jody won the show and sung out the finale with the song. A day later on December 10, 2007 it was released on CD in South Africa with "Dance with My Father" as the CD's B-side - a song Jody performed on Idols which was originally done by singer Luther Vandross. Background and success "Love Is All Around" features as a bonus track on Jody's debut album Just Gonna Me. The song was ironically released a month before as a single by Australian Idol Ricki Lee. Jody's cover of the song features distinctly different effects to it, turning a pop song into what was described as "an urbanised version" of the Agnes original. Jody's version also differs in length, being the longest of all covers of the song so far. "Love Is All Around" was released as a CD single a day after Jody won South African Idols. It was sold out on the first day and accumulated Gold status in South Africa after selling 30,000 copies. The song also reached #1 on AF Stereo's "South African Airplay Chart" Charts ==References==
