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. ------------ |

She's so yesterday's news. Who would have thought that there are some ugly people out there with above average singing voices? |

Nice... I like how they beefed up the reverb on his vocals... Didn't work for Matthew's though. And no Matthew... Just because ugly people can sing and you can't, doesn't make you handsome... ---- |

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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

Either that or people are going to give her the Quote: The video might be edited and exaggerating the reaction, but the contact was definitely there. 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. -- |

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

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. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

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!

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. -- |

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

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... |

Probably because she was styled to be kind of ugly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

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

Would you sleep with her for a cool million? (or at least ask her to share it) They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

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.
