Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent

[Ellemeno]

I just checked my email, and my mother just sent me a link to the Susan Boyle YouTube.  Jesus H!  I didn't even know my mother knew about YouTube.  Quite a phenomenon.

Elaine Paige is very well known in the UK. And although Ive never seen Les Mis I've heard that song many a time. Elaine is basically the First Lady of British Musical Theatre. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaine_Paige

It emerged last night that Susan, whose Britain’s Got Talent triumph has made her an instant superstar, is being lined up for an appearance
on the Oprah Winfrey show which would give her the chance of a number one album in the US.

But the Record can reveal she made her first recording back in 1999, when she sang blues ballad Cry Me A River for a charity CD.

Only 1000 copies of the disc were ever produced, but we’ve got hold of the long-forgotten recording and it’s now on our site. A showbiz insider said: “This is a real coup for the Record. The whole world would have wanted to find this.

“People will be scrambling to get their hands on this CD. They will be like gold dust soon.”

This has gone so full circle that, if Susan Boyle had been glamorous looking, she would not have achieved the international fame that she has, nor perhaps the success toward which she appears to be headed.

What a refreshing turnaround!

[Kelda]

yes, isn't it?

she sounds soooo sexy in the cry me a river song.. you wouldnt match up that voice with that body/face.

I admit to know who Simon Cowell is, but the other two judges I don't know their names.
What really sums it up for me is what the female judge had to say, that her voice was a real wake up call for all of them on the panel and in the audience. That really resonated with me and I agree with it whole heartedly. People go about thier lives and they have a preset set of ideas and then something like Brokeback or Boyle comes along and reminds us there is so much more.

I am proud to live on the same planet with this woman.

Where does her accent go when she sings? Very pretty song.

[Kelda]

Do you know its weird.. the accent almost always goes when we sing.. I know of only maybe two bands that I can think off the top of my head who sound scottish when they sing..
