I finally watched it and now I have tears in my eyes. Damn. Same age as me. Nearly the same eyebrows.

I cried so hard.

I've been wanting to see this, but this is the first link that worked. Thanks so much.

Susan Boyle forever!!!!!

Oh, I love her! That was on the news this evening (first time I'd seen or even heard of her) and I nearly whooped. What an utterly corking lady!

Oh yes, my husband just showed me that this morning. Wonderful!
What a character that Susan is. So nice to see something good like this. Reminds me of when Paul Potts (I think that was his name) blew them away with the opera. Thanks for sharing.

Hope you don't mind if I spread the joy? I'm putting it on my LJ too.

Thanks for posting this. I saw the story on CNN last night and had tears in my eyes, but hearing the judges talking about her was incredible. This is a woman who deserves to go far.

I said to Mr Lusi today that I bet in her wildest imaginings Susan Boyle never thought she'd recc'd from LJ to LJ across the internet.

I really hate this kind of shows, we have them in Holland too, an exact copycat of this, whit the host who thinks himself the most funny man in the universe. Lets be all rude to those poor smugs who think they have talent... a formula that is funny for 10 minutes but not for 3 seasons
And as I turn to an other channel after 5 minutes I never see these little jewels among the heaps of trash.

An incredible voice, no doubt about it.
a voice that sounds surpricenly young for a woman of 47.

Being 47 myself, I give Susan two thumbs up! She's made of awesome, and I bet she knew all the time that she was going to surprise these guys. Although I think that a lot of the surprise is that she isn't gorgeous and glamourous more than her age. Ageism is a real thing, but 47 isn't 87, y'know? And in show biz, if you're not pretty, you're toast.

This show is an AI clone, right? I've never seen a whole ep of AI (I've watched enough humiliating clips, though), so I wasn't sure. Same guy, Simon? Bleh. I hate those shows. Those people were all ready to mock her, and she kicked their arses. Go her. :D

so I go to watch to see what's this all about having seen this link posted a couple places today...
wow
It's so amazing because it's actually "real". You think it's going to be one of those people who thinks they can sing but really can't. Then when you hear it, you're thinking it's a total plant, as in we're going to hear that she's actually some famous West End performer... she sounded that good. That song is so Hard to sing and she sounded like she performed it on stage 6 times a week. The fact that she really is this local singer who has that calibler voice... wow. No wonder they looked so stunned. Very cool. Thanks for the link. What a feel good moment. I hope she cashes in!

Wow, I teared up from this. My heart broke when she said no one had ever given her a chance before.

[sobelle.livejournal.com]

Yes! \o/ I watched this yesterday and was BLOWN AWAY! I don't watch those shows... I hate seeing the sneers and derision from both audience and judges... so that's why I enjoyed her so much, she totally pwned them! Don't judge THAT book by it's cover!!

But as a singer myself? What completely stunned me was her vocal ability on the bridge... those incremental ascending notes with the final sustained note brought to crescendo... FANTASTIC!!

Made me cry like a baby. Now I'm trying to work out how to play a saved .flv file on my pc, because I've saved it.

So beautiful. Long may Susan Boyle sing and give such joy to the world.

Thank you!
