Susan Boyle
Mark Oates

Sensation!

I just want a.cc's reaction. Go! Go! Go!

Ron Novy

She's no Sarah Brightman... But not bad... I've heard better though...

Onewing

I remember watching it yesterday. The Wiki news feed said "susan boyle takes the internet by storm" or something like that. I was like, seriously? I care more about the killing of Somalian Pirates. Rrrrr.

As for Susan, I honestly didn't think she was that spectacular. :-/

Dennis

She can sing.

decepto

Didn't really do anything for me.

Paul Potts, however...

I have a soft spot for Nessun dorma

Matthew Leverton

She's so yesterday's news.

Who would have thought that there are some ugly people out there with above average singing voices? :o

Ron Novy

Nice... I like how they beefed up the reverb on his vocals... Didn't work for Matthew's though. :P

And no Matthew... Just because ugly people can sing and you can't, doesn't make you handsome... ;D

Matthew Leverton

Coming from you ... I take that as a compliment. :o

Ron Novy

Damn it Spock... Stop using my logic against me...

Johan Halmén

I fell in love. Seriously, she is very talented, but I've heard better singers. She should educate herself and work on some issues there. A bit weak in the lower register, and nothing implied that there was body in the higher register either. That's a typical musical song that doesn't require a very large ambitus. But she shines on the stage and the audience falls for her. The video might be edited and exaggerating the reaction, but the contact was definitely there.

Mark Oates

That's a typical musical song that doesn't require a very large ambitus.

I think the whole thing is going to turn sour when she sings anything other than "I dreamed a dream". Either that or people are going to give her the :o regardless of what she sounds like from here on out. Apparently she was on some other show like "Scotland's Got Talent" and the judge shot her down.

Yea, I think they definitely tweaked that part a little. The whole clip was edited to emphasize the contrast, which is what this is really all about. The story is "ugly people can sing too! it's such an inspiration!" It's all stoked by a superficial premise.

Johan Halmén

Besides, someone must have styled her.

So what is a "Yes" supposed to denote? "Yes, we will let you live"?

Thomas Fjellstrom

So what is a "Yes" supposed to denote? "Yes, we will let you live"?

Same as with the US and Canadian talent shows, means you get to stay on the show to compete some more.

Mark Oates

So what is a "Yes" supposed to denote? "Yes, we will let you live"?

Eg: "It's the most unexpected yes I've given in 3 years" => "I was ready to kill you here and now"

Paul whoknows

Nice voice, really a nice voice!

bamccaig

I guess the people at my dad's work were talking about this because this morning I heard him on the phone with my brother telling him to check it out for a laugh and then a few hours ago told me to. :) I didn't think her singing was spectacular, but it was still quite good and certainly unexpected. I would like to see her improve (not that I'll be watching the show... ::)). I don't think she was overly confident.

james_lohr

An impressive voice, especially if you close your eyes. I thought Flawless were a lot more entertaining though. The crazy headstand alone was worth 3 yeses!

ReyBrujo

A coworker showed it to me last week. She is too old to appeal young people into buying CDs, though, so she won't win.

Mark Oates

Her versatility is NILL, and we'll see that soon enough. Enjoy it while it lasts. :-/

Onewing

I thought Flawless were a lot more entertaining though.

I prefer the Beat Freaks. They got even better the next week.

Freakishly long head spin at the end of that second video, she puts on sun glasses while spinning too. ;D

axilmar

She is a good singer, but no where up to Celine Dion.

As for her looks, if she could enter that show where ugly women come out beautiful, a lot of people would be surprised...

Johan Halmén

Probably because she was styled to be kind of ugly.

Steve++

I don't care how good she is at singing - I'd still chew my arm off.

Arthur Kalliokoski

Would you sleep with her for a cool million? (or at least ask her to share it)

23yrold3yrold

You've gotta be freaking kidding me ... urge to kill rising ...

Arthur Kalliokoski

It's not so bad... They're gonna send her through Extreme Makeover and she'll look like this

I'd hit that ("I'm feeling lucky" button) repeatedly.

I'd rather try pressing the 'G' and the 'e'

I'd rather do an advanced search.

haur haur haur!

Neil Walker

I'd rather do an advanced search.

And make sure you turn off the moderate search option.

Onewing

The real content of google is always below.

Neil Walker

btw, back on subject, she now has her own website ;)

and I hear she's going to appear on Oprah with an album deal worth more than a million....

Johan Halmén

I'd scroll that page.
