I saw this on my t.v yesterday.
Everyone was saying how good she was. First look at her, you think shes just there as a joke but she was AMAZING (:

[&endeavor.]

I was doubtful too, but the reaction from the audiences were just beyond belief They were so mean -- a girl even rolled her eyes and everything! But I'm glad Susan Boyle proved them wrong!!

I copied and pasted this from the American Idol thread:


47 year old Susan Boyle (below) stuns Simon Cowell and Pierres Morgan, not with her looks, but with her singing voice on Britain's Got Talent

Unless you live under a rock, you know about the Scottish woman who has taken the industrialized World by storm: Susan Boyle.

Ms. Boyle, who appeared on a reality TV show called "Britains' Got Talent" last Saturday, April 11th and wowed a cynical audience and the judges, including the irascible Simon Cowell (also of American Idol) with her powerful performance of "I Dream A Dream" from Les Miserable has took the World by Internet storm.

What surprised millions - and does not make a great statement about our World industrial culture but is a great example of the power of online video distribution as the video has been seen over 15.9 million times on YouTube (I counted over 10 videos with over 200,000 views) as of this writing - is that someone who looks like her could sing like that.

But who Susan Boyle is as a person is a story of a good simple woman winning over a bad, complicated society. Ms. Boyle is 48 years old, unemployed, and she says never married or "kissed" which means she's a virgin. I do not laugh here because I think of her more as pure rather than question anyone's desire for her or perceived lack of same.

Ms. Boyle cared for her mother until the elder Boyle's passing in 2007 at the age of 91; her father passed away 10 years before. Living alone, Susan attends church each weekend and it was there that her singing talent developed, and where her late mother encouraged her to sing, but Boyle had reportedly stopped singing and did not know how she would do on that Saturday night she shocked the World.

Susan's life has not been one without pain. Sadly, she was abused and starved of oxygen and has a learning disability because of the act. Ms. Boyle says she was teased by classmates, and reportedly the scars of their comments remain to this day.

What I identify with about Ms. Boyle is, I myself having lost two fathers (my stepfather and my biological dad) to prostate cancer in 2005, and the same year my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer (she's still with me), one becomes painfully aware of their own mortality, that of others, and the desire to "make one's mark" becomes ever intense. Susan Boyle's stirring song was as much a testimate to the power of the human sprit and a form of grieving as it was a display of talent. Susan wanted to make her mom smile, but in doing so made mothers all over the World smile -- my Mom called and said Boyle was the next Julie Andrews.

So, in a World of nasty pirates, mean internet commenters, and crazy right-wing extremists, we have to stop and embrace Susan Boyle for making us smile.

My mum just told me about her.
I was amazed when I watched the clip.

You prove that you can not judge a book by it's cover!

[PB&Banana]

All the thousands of people in the auditorium believed would suck and scoffed at her, I didn't know if she could sing either but she proved everyone wrong

[HERMIT]

She's hot. I'd give her her first kiss.
But that's if she'd have me though.
Amazing performance. Very Impressive.

[dudeman]

So freakin amazing. Almost brought tears.

[shangomar]

She didnt look like she could sing, but goodness me..
She's got the voice anyone could be touched when hearing.

[dolcedor.]

She's obviously a great singer but I hate the editing. :/

I bet people started standing up at the END of the performance, but the producers made it look like they started standing up right at the beginning.

Welp, she'll never sell any records now. Unfortunate.

[Nana544]

Susan Boyle voice wins!!! She sing so beautiful with that song "I dreamed of a dream"...and she surprised me!!! She's truly a true singer...I hope she wins:). And honestly, she's not bad looking either. And she's also very funny.

[kanyewong]

[kissez*]

[roch_mar]

I was touched by her voice. Her rendition of "I dream a dream" brought tears to my eyes... she is one amazing woman.. I salute you Ms. Boyle!

[fantasian]

[NFS3]

I think everyone was doubtful til she sang, her voice is amazing.
