Britain's Got Talent - Susan Boyle

[woodsy]

From the UK's equivalent to America Idol. I saw this a couple of days ago for the first time and I've got to say it's one of the most heartwarming, "feel good" stories I've seen in a long time.

I stand corrected. Still, that story really made my day.

 

[Reinhardt]

yes, i am not a fan of reality tv at all, but that was quite a moving piece. except for Simon's "i knew that all along BS"

I agree. It is a really nice story

Whatever it is, she does have a pleasant voice.

 

[Batty]

She has a very nice voice, but that whole segment was way over produced! All the close-up shots of the audience and the judges, the cuts to the guys hosting the show, the music playing after she had finished singing... Is the whole show like that or did they just do it for her?

 

[Jen]

I thought it was sweet...and very touching that she had promised her mom before she died that she would try out for the show. She definitely wowed everyone. Good for her!

I'd like to see her sing without all the crap too. The audience screaming and the idiots in the wings really made it intolerable. I thought American Idol was bad for that kind of stuff, but this was far worse.

I guess they see a lot of gong show type talent on that show and they expected her to be really bad.

Dave, haven't you seen the American version? That's pretty much exactly what you get.

yeah she was on scottish news saying she been invited on oprah

 

[pixletwin]

Do you think the more attention she gets the more her eye brows are going to shrink?

subtract attention replace with money

but it's her appearance that got her the attention, would be silly to change before she makes her money in the 15 minutes

You're attracted to her, aren't you?

 

[pixletwin]

She looks like my 4th plural wife. What can I say?

My grade 3 teacher once said "Never judge a book by its cover" and I had never forgot that until this day. What a wonderful voice.

Absolutely, and it's so nice to see someone whose been down for so long to finally get a break. Her voice is priceless, even moreso than the look on the faces of those three judge's....they never saw that coming.

she is like the female version of paul potts.
