I love these out of the blue performances. Never judge a book by it's cover.

Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent

When I first heard her sing I got goosebumps. Daughtry did that to me too. But this morning when they were talking on the Today show about her they showed a few clips of her singing on the talent show. I was brought to tears. Her voice is undescribable. How someone so "simple" could possess such profound beauty, it just amazes me. I almost hope that she wins and then goes home. No album for promoters to make money off of. But then there would be no way to hear that lovely sound that should so be heard. But how does one share such a gift without the press and glam affecting their lives?? Is there a way for her to do this and still be Susan?? It is a shame the world is such that there is no room for someone to be themselves. Just thinking of her singing, it just stirs my soul.

I know three people that don't care for dogs (or pets for that matter) and everyone of them is such a nice person. I just want to yell, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSING !!!! Ahh, but I don't. That Gin is one smart dog. Very impressive.

I just watched the finals and have not yet seen the results, but I gather from the discussion that Grace won. Good for her, but I would rather have seen the Clairvoyants win. Grace's songs were poignant and relevant to today's youth, much like the songs from the late 1950s, except those were written by adults. She is like Taylor Swift in that regard. Her voice is different, but she can carry the tunes, so she'll be fine. Laura Breton screwed herself in singing one of the most tragic songs ever written with a huge joyous smile and lolapalooza last note. When sung properly, even this song in Italian should leave non Italian speakers (and sometimes the performer) in tears. If you're not familiar with O Mio Babbino Caro, the singer is telling her father that she's going away to find her lover and if she cannot marry him, she's going to jump in the river and kill herself. The last lines are "father have pity on me" sung twice and NEVER with enthusiasm. This is not to disparage her vocal talent. She'll get plenty of work, but this performance definitely changed the way I saw her. If she knew what she was singing about, she would have done it differently. If you want to see it sung like it's supposed to, check out Sissel on YouTube. Victor Kee is a less skilled version of Michael Moschen from the 1990s. Check out what Moschen can do with his crystal balls and bouncing balls in the triangle on YouTube. Sal Valentinetti absolutely killed it in the finale. He won't have to deliver pizza for long. I can't listen to that genre of music for long but he killed it. Linkin' Bridge did the same. They're the first good thing to come out of Chicago since forever. Sofie Dossi is cute and flexible but all she does is handstands and neck hangs. Her cleverest trick was shooting an arrow with her feet. That's slick, but I think I see why there's no National League of Professional Handstanders. The Clairvoyants do a mentalist act. It's a version of magic with secrets all their own. They do it VERY well and are so charismatic.

I went to the fourth page of these threads just to post this message today! I have really been down in the dumps since my kitty died early Monday morning. This lady lifts my spirits and gives me hope. I have watched it several times since you first posted this, cjd63. Thanks so much for posting this for us. I wish I could email that lady and thank her!

They are saying the various youtube videos of this woman will have over 11 million viewers by Friday. It will be the highest viewed video on youtube if you add up the viewings for all the individual postings.

I also read that she is now staying with a friend because of all the publicity.

I have to admit when we were watching the show Sat night we thought "here we go, some strange person who thinks they can sing" but what a wonderful surprise. I'm anxious to see if they try to change her look, I'd love to see her spruced up a bit to match her amazing voice. Maybe her and Paul Potts can go on tour together.
