check out u tube susan boyle

Hi Everyone,
This was on the news . Check out  u tube, and google in susan boyle.  Let me know what you think.  It is absolutely incredible. She was on the British version of a show that is similar to american idol and ironically, simon cowell is one of the judges.   check it out everyone and let me know what you think.  You will watch it more than once

Re: check out u tube susan boyle

jo,  What a coincidence,my brother-in-law e-mailed that u-tube clip to me two days ago.Well,i'll tell you one thing,I seen it three times,and each and every time,it brought tears to my eyes! I also googled the lyrics,and they are also very touching.Imagine having to be the next contestant that follows her on that show? How do you beat that performance? YOU CAN'T !

I thought Ms Boyle's  performance was amazing. She seemed to transform during her song and soar.

Re: check out u tube susan boyle

I personally found her performance to be very moving and nothing short of amazing. It just goes to show you that one cannot judge a book by its cover. She is a "gifted" singer with a golden voice and pure talent. May she go on to  bigger and better things.LA LA LA LA,DrSteve

Re: check out u tube susan boyle

Wow,she's now on the news,t.v.show(tonight on Larry King),getting celeberity status,and had over 15 million u-tube viewers.
                I truly believe that some people in this world are "gifted",and no amount of training could get someone to that level.
                          Jim Thorpe,Sugar Ray Robinson,Nat King Cole,Babe Ruth,Kate Smith,just to name a few. There are many more.They say that if Sugar Ray Robinson would have trained for each fight,he would have never lost one,because he was gifted.

Re: check out u tube susan boyle

Charlie,

There is that longing in all of us for the "real deal" and thank God we do recognize it when we hear it or see it, notwithstanding that the person delivering it might not fit the template society has for glamor.  Susan Boyle radiated matchless talent that shined right through the faux beauty we imagined was perfection.

I saw her on UTube but sadly missed her on TV. I hope we hear much much more of her. Very gifted woman.
