She is an old looking 47 but a brilliant singer. She gave me goosebumps and I read today Elaine Paige has agreed to duet with her.
-
Yes. 623 certainly kept his performance quiet, didn't he/she?
-
It's Paul Potts in a dress isn't it.
-
I thought she was wonderful. I don't even agree with people who say she is frumpy and unattratvie. I think she is perfect and I hope she achieves her dream and that they leave her just the way she is.
-
And what are the chances of Mr Cowell leaving her as is?
-
Well i think she will remain a virgin but i think Simon will have her glammed up.
-
i thought she was great. and think - this video's had around 8 million hits in just one week on youtube.
-
8 million? The figure quoted in The Daily Telegraph is 25 million hits.
-
I thought she was brilliant but I do think her appearance needs sorting out. I'm older than her and sincerely I hope I don't look anything like as old as she does.

Crikey, its gonna take more than a makeover, think that harley street are going to be a bit busy over then next few months...

That's a horrible thing to say. She looks a bit dowdy perhaps, but all she really needs is soemone to experiment with the right colours (clothes-wise) to suit her skin tones and shape. A softer hair cut and a little subtle slap and she'll look fabulous.
Remember, it's people like those in Harley Street who have turned Michael Jackson into a freak because he was (and they allowed him to be) obsessed with his appearance.
For God's sake, someone just bring out the best in what she already has and leave her to be her natural self.

here is another link to Susan Boyle singing Cry me a River. Apparently, it is from a tape made about ten years ago. It's utterly fantastic.

Well I would turn anyone in to a freak if they wanted to pay me lots of money to do so.
I haven't seen the clip, all I see my end is this. (attached)
So I went to look up what you were on about. Then my tourettes kicked in to action. Good job I edited the post is all I can say.

yes, and i heard 100 million on the news earlier! hehe. i was only counting by the hit-counter on the actual site. but i guess it's been posted repeated times so i spose there is no accurate figure.
-
Who's Susan Boyle?
-
A contestant on Britains Got Talent. :)
-
SUSAN Boyle was on the verge of a breakdown last night as war broke out between her family and telly bosses over her future.
Her brother John revealed the singing sensation was “cracking up” as her relatives clashed with Britain’s Got Talent producers over her future
career plans.
Her family are furious that she is being denied the opportunity to cash in on her overnight superstardom in the States.
They believe she could be earning millions of dollars already with a tour of America.
And they have been trying to persuade the ITV show’s chiefs to allow her to go now in case the phenomenal interest in her evaporates.
But the show’s bosses fear such a move would undermine their prime-time Saturday night show. They are insisting she sticks to her contract and keeps her talent under wraps until her next scheduled appearance in five weeks’
-
There's nothing like money to bring out the best in people.
-
It's her talent and she can do what she likes with it. Stuff Simon and Co.
-
I think good luck to her if she can make some cash now. After all there is no guarantee she will win BGT.
-
i bet she does win though.
-
Its all about the money...
-
Susan Boyle isn't everyones cup of tea and we've seen it all before with Paul Potts. I want Stavros Flateley to win.
-
I liked Diversity.
-
Ooh! Are we playing wank word bingo?
Hmm, I can't find that one on my card........

-
BINGO!!!
-
Susan Boyle is being lined up for I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here later this year.
-
And I bet BB after that...
-
And then there'll be the sex video...
-
and the cookery show.
-
FHM, Zoo & Nutz perhaps?
-
And I suppose you are every woman's dream netbuddy?

No, that's me!

@oldspice
Been around this loop before and I am not about to get pulled in to a flame war because someone has commented on my post just because they don't like my post. My comment was nothing more than a stab at said magazines on the "stereo typical" bimbos that they plaster all over those stated publications. (Try saying all that in one breath)
-
I don't want to get into a war of words either. I just get so sick of everything having to be about someone's looks and whether they conform to society's 'norms' whichare actually dictated by the media. Guess you feel the same.
-
I like large breasts.
-
On women or men pham? :D

I think we probably all feel the same on this board. To netbuddy's credit, he was just joining in the fun and was satirising celebrity like the rest of us. I hope Susan Boyle tells them to stick it, as her voice is good enough.
-
SuBo as she is know now needs to start cashing in while she can . All this media attention will do her more harm than good when it comes to BGT and I don't think she will win now.

According to the New York Daily News, the 47-year-old will be interviewed by Oprah via satellite from her home in West Lothian.
The chat will be part of a talent show special titled The World's Got Talent and will air in the US on Monday.
The programme will include a tour of Susan Boyle's home and suspicions are mounting that she may also sing.
-
It was/is subtitled for the non-Shrek speaking audience.
FFS!
-
Do you live near West Lothian pham?
-
Nowhere near.
-
Shame
-
I think she's got a great voice, but be honest - if she looked like Katherine Jenkins, would there be this much fuss about her? It's pretty sad that people (and I have to admit, me included) assumed physically unattractive would mean talentless.
I like the boy-girl who sang Nessum Dorma.
-
That was so weird like a cat singing. Good to see you back smurfy.

I don't think she's that bad looking. She might not look that up-to-date but she's far from ugly. It must hurt her terribly what people are saying about her looks.
-
This generally happens when you hit the limelight.
-
Some say she looks like she has been hit by a bus not limelight.

The Britain's Got Talent finalist lost her temper in the lobby of the Wembley Plaza Hotel in North London after being "wound up" by journalists.
Police stationed at the hotel intervened in the situation and Boyle, 48, was photographed talking to two officers in the car park following the incident.
A spokesman for Boyle said: "The police were escorting a journalist from the premises who had been winding Susan up.
"Susan and her sister were talking to the police telling them what had happened."
Reports said the church worker from Blackburn, West Lothian, dubbed the Hairy Angel for her unkempt appearance on her show debut, launched a foul-mouthed outburst at the strangers and had to be calmed down by officers.
One onlooker said:"It took her a long time to calm down from whatever upset her. She was breathing heavily and in a terrible rage."
Reports also said the star flew into another rage on Tuesday as show judge Piers Morgan lavished praise on rival singer Shaheen Jafargholi while she watched on TV in the hotel bar.
BGT judge Piers Morgan
She reportedly swore and flicked V signs at the TVbefore storming off, but again her spokesman denied it happened.
"She was in the bar but again these journalists kept coming up to her hassling her for interviews," she said.
"Susan is fine now, and if the press backed off the poor woman she would be even better.
-
ooh - backlash.
-
i'm glad Diversity won - they were really impressive tonight. i would have preferred Stavros, but hey.
-
I'm disappointed Stavros didn't win but very pleased SuBo didn't.
-
She looked quite happy she didn't win as well. She's still going to make a lot of money, though.
-
People who come second in these shows always seem to be more successful than the winners.
-
She looked quite happy she didn't win as well.
I agree, she looked much happier and relaxed once the pressure was off and Diversity won. I heard now she has had some kind of breakdown though. I voted for Stavros, thought the Queen would find them entertaining.
-
The little girl should have won
-
that little girl only got through because of her breakdown the night before.
-
And now she in re-hab, and there been about 100 complaints about ITV failing to dell with her learning disabitay correctly.
She went off in one, and believe the company had stolen her cat!! thus there had to phone her house so she could speak with her cat!
this may better for her not to win,
-
Where did the cat info come from? Surely that's been distorted? I talk to my cat.
-
I read that after introducing tv crew to her invisible friend she borrowed a mobile phone to ring home and leave a message on the answer machine for her cat called Pebbles.
-
well, there's a shocker. i never would have guessed she had mental issues.
-
well, there's a shocker. i never would have guessed she had mental issues.
My sentiments exactly...
-
She should have never been put through to the finals. I remember on X Factor Simon voicing concerns over Rowettas mental state and saying she would not cope with the pressure of fame so why didn't he do the same for SuBo. I think all SC sees is pound signs and that is why Stavros could not win because there would be no Cd's for SC to cash in on.
-
Susan Boyle wasn't actually a very good singer. She was a bit better than OK. It's just that her appearance is so far removed from the media's ideal, that when she was actually not bad - everyone thought, 'Wow! Give her big breasts and a pretty face and her voice becomes that of a decent pub singer. For what it's worth and you Earthlings can take it or leave it - I thought Diversity were by far the best act on the night.
-
There's always one who will say they predicted the winner. Diversity weren't better than the sax player or Stavros.
-
I would have voted for Cliff Richard being nailed to a cross, but it never happened!

I think she's a wonderful singer. She just hasn't had the benefit of voice training so she goes a bit wobbly when she is nervous. Her voice has an amazing range and power but I think she limits herself to the big show tunes a bit too much.
I wish people would stop going on about her looks. She's far from ugly, it's just that, again, she's not been schooled in grooming and how to wear clothes that are more flattering.
-
I don't think she's ugly. She just looks like an average human. Believe me, when you've seen the Thargblatter on Betrovium B you will know what ugly is.
-

I predicted the top three in the right order. Diversity are something really special. Yes the sax player is excellent but I know many sax players who are just as good (look in the orchestra pit of any West End show) and don't forget a large proportion of what you heard was on the backing track.
-
I wouldn't climb over that sax player to get to Diversity. Or perhaps i might. ;)
-
Julian Smith (the sax player) annoyed me a bit, frankly. His 'ever so 'umble guvnor' routine got very dull very quickly. And why did Piers Morgan insist on constantly saying how 'cool' he was? Why, because he wore a beanie hat?

I thought he looked terribly scruffy. I like buskers - because I love outdoor music played outdoors. However, I don't want to switch on the Tv and see one. It's all wrong somehow.
-

I thought the same thing. Did he ever appear without his hat? I wondered what he was hiding under there!
-
And apparently he's already made CDs for Simon Cowell (before the show started).l
-
in this household, we were convinced he had a very funny shaped head under there. seriously - there was something wrong with it.
-
Maybe he has really bad hair or he is balding.
-
Now SuBo is charging £8,000 per minute to perform live.
-
she evn got a mention on 'South Park' the other night. you know you've made it big when american tv shows are referencing you.
-
Amanda Holden said SuBo has made her famous in america cos of all the chat shows she has been invited on to.
-
why is amanda holden on tv? what the f*ck is she even for?
-
Once married to Les Dennis and now has as much botox as Simon Cowell.
-
why do people think botox is a good look? mmm... i want to look shiny and bloated... and i want my eyebrows in my hairline - yeah!
-

She is an actress. She played a school teacher in that programme with Noddy Holder. I can't remember what it was called but it was funny.
I think she's very sweet and still very pretty.
No one has more botox in their faces than Cliff Richard.
-
Danni Minogue has quite a bit botox going on.
-
Danni Minogue has quite a bit botox going on.
But she's still quite young! Why does she want to go injecting that stuff into herself so soon? She'll look like a wax dummy by the time she's fifty.

Unlike Cher, who cannot physically decompose! :D

She already does. Half the fun of The X-Factor is watching to see if her face will melt under the studio lights.
-
I heard this year the X-Factor auditions are to be held in front of an audience, like the BGT ones are.
-
BUT Glasgow have already been done two weeks ago, so how will this work?>
-
I don't know, are you going to look into it? Please feed back when you know.
