Susan Boyle from Britain's Got Talent

[Maximus]

I just watched this and was blown away. I just felt like this needed to be shared here as well if you haven't seen or heard about it.

Great performance. I really hope she can go somewhere with music :^)

[Xobeloot]

Stellar performance. If I were to close my eyes while listening to her, I would swear that I were sitting in the theater on Broadway. What a voice!

[Thorsky]

Stunning performance. She was definitely born to sing!

She's the second Britains Got Talent contestant to make front page CNN, MSN, etc... Paul Potts was the last one, I still get chills watching his performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k08yxu57NA

Here's another song she did for a charity cd back in 99.

I broke down sobbing watching her. I watched it over and over and I cried each time, I was so blown away and happy for her. I have that clip on my MySpace page under my heroes section.

It just goes to show you that in music, a book is always judged by it's cover.
It must be nice to make someone feel like an asshole by singing them a beautiful song.

That's part of the reason I have never really listened to 'mainstream' music. They always want to give you the hot-ass girl that can halfway sing instead of maybe a not so hot-ass girl that can blow you away with her singing. You have to be 'sexy'. There have been so many shows I have gone to, and the musicianship has been top notch, but they just arent 'sexy' enough to break into the mainstream.

Yah man I agree, they pointed and laughed at her and she laughed too, but everyone shut the **** up when she starrted singing.

I think it would be rereshing to see this girl sell a million records, because music nowadays is too much about image and not about talent anymore.

I mean hell if Gene Simons and his ugly mug can make it this chick should be given a chance.
