Susan Boyle

[PetaBread]

It's new from Britains Got Talent 2009. (Take a look at the youtube video date of April 2009)

Oh, I was wondering how Simon is on 2 shows at once,

BGT and American Idol. :thinking:

I don't watch these shows as you can already tell.

Here was the CBS Morning Show interview today filmed at her simple home, and she again sings beautifully without any music. Another moment of joy to watch.

This video is truly inspiring. I've watched it at least 5 times, and still get chills when she sings the opening. I'm pulling for her to win!

i may have my man card revoked because it bought me to tears

Phenomenal pipes!

Thanks, Lux.

Not that her authenticity needed verification, but that should quiet the nay-sayers (hopefully). Thanks, Lux, for another great video. :thumbsup:

Just strange that nobody has heard of her before and my intuition it that there's more to it.

Do you realize how many great singers there are in the world that no one has ever heard of?

Thousands--maybe millions

I remember a couple of old ladies in my small church that I attended as a kid (they kind of looked like Miss Boyle) who had the most incredible singing voices but they didn't sing professionally. They sang solos in church all of the time though.

WOW, what a voice! That was truly inspiring to watch. Thanks for posting this, Lux.

Now excuse me, I think I've got something in my eye...

 

[LuxLuthor]

Well she is being booked everywhere now. 34 million Youtube fans which she never heard of, nor does she have internet service.

• Paul Potts sees her winning contest.

• Oprah wants her.

• Jay Leno thinks he is related to her.

• Judge Piers Morgan is taking her out to candlelit dinner with roses and fine wine.

• She also did "Cry Me A River" 10 years ago that was on a charity CD which only had 1,000 copies made that is shared on Youtube here.

What a magnificent voice, I look forward to hearing more of this wonderful lady.

I just saw it for the first time, the day before yesterday. She was great! My wife actually brought her up, while reading about her in People Magazine, and was shocked that I hadn't heard of her.

For the one that was saying he thinks she a fake (really, she's not, it's BIG news), but says it might be due to the poor quality video, here's another link, to the same performance, only higher quality, and with the HQ (High Quality) button you can click for really high quality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxPZh4AnWyk&feature=related Don't forget to hit the "HQ" button; it makes a big difference in the quality of the sound and video.

And not meaning to go OT, but be sure and click on the link inside the video, of 10yr old Hollie Steel. :thumbsup:

Yeah, definitely! I was thinking about posting that, too, but I figured, if they clicked my link to the HQ version, they get curious enough to click on the Hollie link. That little girl can sing!

Susan releases first recorded single: Her version of Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses."

Warning, don't think "The Stones" when listening to it. You tube audio only link.

Suffice it to say that I pre-ordered her Nov 24 debut CD from Amazon.

 

[kaichu dento]

Thanks for the links! Very beautifully sung indeed.

 

[Sigman]

WOW - thanks for posting the link Lux. I certainly appreciate all types of music...that just gave me the shivers. What a voice!!

 

[Trashman]

My brother-in-law saw Susan Boyle at Disneyland (CA), today, and took a picture with her! He immediately sent it to my wife, to show her.

 

[LuxLuthor]

I have to say I'm also very impressed with all performances by this season's America's Got Talent -- Barbara Padilla. She is a mother from Texas who had cancer (Hodgkins Lymphoma) 10 yrs ago....and very nice to look at.

 

[flashfan]

"Wild Horses" by Boyle is wonderful. Thanks for sharing the link.

 

[LuxLuthor]

She is going to sing it live on Wed final episode of America's Got Talent.
