BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT /11th APRIL / SUSAN BOYLE

[Clint]

What did you think about Britain's Got Talent on the 11th of April? I think the nation was surprised with Susan Boyle's performance, I know I was, and the panel was too, Simon Cowell did not know what to say, and Piers Morgan was gobsmacked (THAT SAYS SOMETHING) he wanted to take her out for a meal and give her the first kiss in her life, but Pierse someone has beaten you to it.

She's more popular on YOUTUBE than Barack Obama not to mention Gordon Brown!!!

This subject was covered quite extensively in the Lounge area---i think we all agreed that we were astounded by Susan's voice. Let's hope it brings her some happiness.

....oops,Clint,posting in the 'wrong'place!

[mariana44]

Sorry if you thought that I was criticising where your postings were---that was not my intention-I just wanted to point out that there had been a discussion on that subject elsewhere.

[Clint]

No Mariana, its Clint here, I should check before I post anything. I am to Impulsive,

[mariana44]

That's Ok Clint--let's just say you are enthusiastic !

Here is a clip of Susan Boyle from 1995-Michael Barrymore Show.

As usual he is clowning around, while she is singing. I bet he is regretting that now!!!!

Thanks Robert-that was lovely. I also enjoyed Susan singing "Cry me a river"--a crying shame that this talented lady has been hidden from us for so long !!

I think I read that she will sing "Whistle down the wind" in the semifinal of BGT, and "I dreamed a dream", in the final, surely the most appropriate title for Susan--I bet she thinks she is still in Dreamland even now.

I cannot see how she will fail to win.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

I was very impressed with Susan's voice as everyone else was on hearing her on BGT, but before I made up my mind I just wanted to hear her sing something else other than "I Dreamed a Dream " and after hearing her sing "Cry Me A River" and "Killing Me Softly" I'm more convinced than ever that she will win.
The Two young Children are talented, but kids voices can change.

[mariana44]

I totally agree, Lena and Harry.

[ROBERT M.]

Yes I think Susan has shown she can sing most styles of singing.................quite brilliantly
