View Full Version : Hopefully, you haven't been living under a rock the last few days
Susan Boyle, a frumpy 47 year old self proclaimed virign appeared on Britain's Got Talent on Saturday night.
Oh how the judges and audience laughed. And oh, how they shut up 3 words into the song.

Brought tears to my eyes then, and brings tears to my eyes now.

We are often too stereotypical now days.

Is this reality show like American Idol I'm assuming? If so, she stands no chance, as these shows are out to select someone who is 'marketable' to the demographic the shows are steered towards.
It sucks that talent is only part of what these shows look for, or else you can give this woman the prize now.

Wow!
Good for her! This is so inspirational!
During the judging commentary, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Unreal !

Thank you so much Sue for posting that link. I had heard all the coverage on this incident but had not heard the clip. Wow! To listen to her sing was just so emotional. I had tears in my eyes, it was just so touching. Then to watch the judges and the audience was just amazing. It makes you feel good to see something like that and to see how happy their comments made her. When there is so much bad in the world right now that was so wonderful to see. Thank you again Sue for posting and giving me the opportunity to see that clip.
Have a wonderful day, I know I will after that!
What a great way to start the day!!

Ruh roh, Shaggy!
Looks like Susan has some competition.
And here she is singing "Memory" from Cats on Sunday's semi-final.
First note is bum, but she quickly picks it up:

And she sailed through to next weeks final on the audience vote.

At very least she has a career as a singer for Disney films. If life is fair she goes on tour, or Vegas.
