I don't watch Britiain's Got Talent but had seen write ups about this one person online so had to watch part of the first episode tonight.

We shouldn't do it but most of us do judge a book by it's cover, first impressions and all of that.

Watch this...........

YouTube - Susan Boyle - Singer - Britains Got Talent 2009

bl@@dy hell, she was good

my sentiments exactly - bl@@dy hell, she was good

I watched for the first time for the very same reason. Beautiful voice ......but, but, but (and I am hesitating here) could it be that the mismatch between voice and appearance makes the voice sound even better?

No, on second thoughts, credit where it's due - she has a divine singing voice. I wonder if she has had any voice training?

She brought tears to my eyes, especially after seeing the way everyone laughed at her at the beginning.

I haven't heard that song before or seen the show but I can't stop humming the flippin' thing now.

Now, I'm not a fan of TV but i loved that.

If you liked that song then you MUST see the show, or get the dvd. Every song in it is as strong as that one, and some even stronger.

I've seen the stage show four times, and listened to the soundtrack many more. In fact, I reckon I could stand in for any part at short notice - if only I could sing!

Treat yourself to this- you won't regret it!

My OH watched this and came through to the kitchen raving about this woman and her voice - just watched it a couple of times on You Tube - unbelievable, absolutely amazing singing voice - though as a weegie, I have to say I don't like the east coast accent she talks with !

Made the hairs on my arms stick up. (now you all think I look like a gorilla! I'm not that hairy honest.)

She was brilliant! Just wondered why nobody has noticed her voice before, I mean as a young child surely somebody must have thought she was gifted.

We were in the audience at the Glasgow audition when she preformed. Everyone was on their feet and in tears - she was stunning.

How did you manage that ? were you there to watch someone you knew or just in the audience ? She was brilliant, hope she goes further, as for some of them why do they bother. I would rather see people who have actually got a talent.

DOn't watch much telly and never watch reality shows like that. BEEP! Am stunned! Title of the Thread says it all!

Got tickets through an Audience Agency and took my OH's kids along - didn't know anyone that was auditioning.

A real mixed bag of talented and not so talented, lol. Was a very good night though and that lady had an incredible voice. There was also an excellent Drumming Group and a couple of very good dance acts done very much in the style of an old fashioned Variety Show with lots of audience participation.

Simply breathtaking

I saw this last night as my young nephew wanted to watch. I was stunned.

Thankfully, she proved us ALL wrong!

Well done Susan Boyle!!

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

just my kind of music,what a lovely voice,cannot wait to see what happens when the back stage people have done with her,just goes to show what beauty lies unerderneith the wrappings ,whatch that space,she has lots of confidence as well,which is half the battle,good luck to her.

I don't watch tv much either but would love to see this lady again, it brought tears to my eyes - she will be unrecognisable once she's had a makeover... starting with the eyebrows!

Just goes to show that as a society we're too quick to laugh at others, too quick to judge, and I'm glad that she kinda stuck her fingers up at everyone

Blooming good

I have to agree with you Wayne - that act took a lot of guts

That was absolutely brilliant! I loved when one of the judges looked like he was about to tear up!

Now that's what I call inspiration. And the Riverdance guys - both acts willing to get laughed at !

Such talent, am sure she has a brilliant career ahead of her. Only wonder how she was'nt discovered before now.

I posted this link shortly after it had been screened and there were less than 50 views on YouTube.

Take a look at how many have watched it now, after just 2 days and the number of comments that have been made about it.

wow, thanks for that, pretty inspirational stuff. well done her.

It's now been on there for 4 days and has had 5.5 MILLION views and 32 thousand comments have been left.

Thanks Wayne. Just watched that too, you're right - brilliant Both were good but for very different reasons.

That was amazing......how sad it's taken so long before she was 'discovered'.
Looks like she's quite a character- I wish her great success in whatever way this has changed her life.

Let's hope she meets a mice bloke too- and finally have a romantic kiss and cuddle!

Thanks for sharing that with us 21again..it brought tears to my eyes..BUT I have to say I was very irritated by the sarcastic looks people were giving her before she started singing.Shame on them.
