  Hi!
 
  I have seen Sarah a few times now, and she never sang the same cover in 
another show. I am pretty sure that if you heard her cover a song, she would 
not sing it again in concert...I saw two shows, a couple of months apart, 
and she didn't cover the same tunes in the two show...first time was the 
famous "Georgia", and the second time was a tune by Talk Talk.
