Britains Got Talent. Sue Boyle

If you haven't seen it, watch her performance on Youtube.
Eight million views and counting, since Saturday night.
A tubby little woman with hairy eyebrows who sings like a Goddess.

Every time I hear her my arms are covered in goosebumps.

same here. I have her on a loop on my computer at work playing over and over. I heard Simon Cowell is trying to get a record deal with her whether she wins or not. I'd buy her CD

It's like a bird singing after rain.
Resilience.

Over 11 million views on Youtube now.
A good few of those must be people like Orleander looping it.

I'm rationing myself listening to it.
I get so many shivers down my spine it's like standing in a refrigerator.

 

Unbelievable. I'm not afraid to say that at her first high note, I actully got tears in my eyes and goosebumbps.

I hope this a new beginning for that woman. That voice deserves to be shared!!!

I just put the song's lyrics with her life and I wanna cry.

 

Incredible voice.

In that song she sang:

I had a dream my life would be
So different from the hell I’m living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

I hope from now on her dream will come true!

 

I love that song, its from Les Miserables

The difference that a voice makes!

The Scottish Newspaper, The "Daily Record"
has found this recording she made for a charity CD in 1999.

She sings OK but I think this girl can just blow her away and she looks better as well. JK!

Not that great a singer actually.

Actually, yes it was that great. Given that she hasn't received the high-end teaching and training that professional opera singers receive, it's a wonder that such a gem exists in the rough. Futhermore, one has to wonder just how amazing she will be after some truly amazing talent helps her refine her gift.

There's no doubt that she could use some work (even Cowell has said that after the fact). I know opera, a close friend of mine is an opera singer and she has pointed out that her rendition of "I dreamed a dream" was one of the best she's ever heard, which is telling considering that she's a picky bitch about everybody. I've seen an original troupe's version of the Claude-Michel Schönberg work while I was in Europe and quite a few times here, and found all of them memorable, but none as much as this. Some of it has to do with the story, but there is absolutely no doubt to the un-jaded that this woman has a rare talent that most people can only envy.

Open your ears and judge a "thing" by its circumstances. One doesn't complaint about the light a candle gives, just because it can't compare to the sun.

An original CD.
That would be a costly item now.
I wonder what it would fetch on eBay.

 

She sounds good for an old ugly chick, that's all. Some of the notes were off.

 

I think that the looks thing is overdone.
Her looks are fairly standard for a middle aged woman.
Three quarters of women in Scotland look like that.


Edith Piaf was scarier looking.
In this picture I can imagine her tucking into someone's entrails.

but I've kissed far worse women on New Years Eve)

A cat. Not Pebbles, but the same age
(As for kissing, no problem)

 

I saw this for the first time yesterday. Stunning is RIGHT. She has an amazing voice. It was so incredible that when I first saw it on YouTube, I thought she was pantomiming to a different recording. Her voice has a natural enhancement effect. I very charming and courageous lady too. Bravo!

 

Not that great a poster, actually. The quality versus quantity concept has always been a difficult one to grasp.

 

I'm a jadded SOB, but I did love how she completely conquered the hostile audience.

It is a sad comment on society, that it took so long for her to be "discovered". I really wonder if she's even had singing lessons yet. That was at least a 3 octave range, didn't even look like she was strained.
