For those you have not heard yet...

In a world of pirates, crashing economies and political extremism, it a
great pleasure to see something unexpectantly good. This woman, with
learning disabilities, auditions at a talent competition and becomes an
immediate internet sensation.

Go to youtube and enter "susan boyle". And if your heart is not made of
stone, you will probably tear up.

Or go to this link
This is a "must see". She was on Nightly News.

Amazing. Looking at the package, you don't expect what is inside.

disabilities - even more amazing!

----------------------------------

Yes, apparently there was some oxygen deprivation at birth. She has had a
hard life. She cared for her elderly mother for a long time till her death
two years ago. She entered the contest to fulfil her mother's wishes for
her.

She is not a pretty woman. She has the bushiest eyebrows I have ever seen
on a woman. But she is funny and has the voice of an angel.

I really don't know much about the music biz. But if they find the right
producer for her, they are going to produce an amazing album. One of the
most common remarks on the web is that people want to buy her CD. She could
make somebody (simon?) a lot of money.

Now this group is asking for verification in order to be able to
post..weird.

Susan Boyle. That was a surprise performance. Totally out of nowhere.
That wasn't some pity-driven applause, she earned that.
We, as Canadians should adopt her and make her a star. We did it for
Celine Dion, Rita McNeil, Neil Young, Paul Shaffer, Geddy Lee (Rush)
most of them had some oxygen issues at birth.

Susan Boyle, a diamond in the rough. The 'Industry' will probably eat
her alive and try to exploit her. I cannot imagine that this success
will be good for her.

Godspeed, Susan.

Perhaps you don't have a "gmail" addy? If this is the case, good.

Well done. It won't take much to improve her appearance but I feel she
will make it anyway as there are a lot of folk out there who
appreciate genuine talent.


It may help to remember the the US has a two-class society: First Class
and No Class.

Even no class bums like myself can recognize that the lady has a first
class voice and displayed a first class attitude.

I loved that little smirk she gave just before she started to sing.
It almost said: "hang onto your hats, you're about to be blown away."

One of the comments that many people made was about her sense of humor. It
was a refreshing change to that snickering crowd and judges before her
performance. I have never see such a large group of non believers change
their tune so fast and decisively than at this audition. Way to go Susan
Boyle!

A talent like that is a gift of the gods and simply cannot be denied.

I have never heard a voice that I loved as much as Susan Boyle's in my
62 years. I hope she gets a handler that knows how to promote her
talent in the right way. I would definitely buy any CD with her
singing on it.

I'd have to say Andre Bocelli could give her a run for the money. Although
she was great. Like to hear more though.
