She was the scottish lady who amazed them all when she sang 'I dreamed a dream' from Les Miserables.

Susan Boyle was tremendous, she stated before she sang that she had never been kissed, well no surprise there, but without guidance, she will have plenty of unscrupulous hangers on by the next show, along with 2 dozen relatives that she wasnt aware of! :rolleyes:

Haha, exactly Jaysay. (your cuosin susan), I tried to blow a hot water bottle up many years ago, after watching it on telly, it is not for the faint hearted, a lot harder than it looks, not sure I would class it as a talent though!

There's a chap in Warrington who owns a gym and he was on "Opportunity Knocks", 30 years ago, blowing up a hot water bottle. It was his one and only claim to fame. :D

What makes people decide to do these things? Blowing hot water bottles up, eating x amount of whatever in so many minutes, growing their nostril hair to 12 inches etc etc......how do they think them up?

We thrive on this sort of thing, in this country, don't we? There was a woman, many years ago when I was still at school, who used to tear telephone directories with her bare hands. She was often on the telly and - that was all she did! No, I tell a lie, she may have bent the odd poker as well. :D

The woman has a good voice, but she isn't the next Callas or Ferrier, in my opinion.

I think her very adequate voice was more of a shock because everyone expected her to sound like a cat being strangled.

I hope any success that the programme brings this very nice woman, brings her some joy.

Money doesn't always equate with happiness.

Let's not forget the biggest winner of all, as with all his similar programmes, will be Simon Cowell.

Don't get me wrong, I was as wowed as the next person when she appeared on the show. It wasn't until I heard her again on the radio this week, that I thought her voice wasn't that special.

Disagree .. Madonna still looks 50, just looks 'better' for her age because of the trimmings ... not quite the same thing.

Don't think Susan Boyle is interested in the money really, just wants to sing for her supper. Think she will emerge soon and adjust to the limelight. :D

Originally Posted by garinda (Post 705478)

Whether Madonna looks her age is really irrelevant. The fact is Miss Boyle doesn't dress or act like most women in the country, who happen to be in their late mid forties.

I like eccentrics, but just hope they don't give her a make over, and style her as the new Jayne Macdonald.

I stand by my claim that after the shock of this kooky woman not wailing like a cat, her voice is good, but not brilliant.

Try listening to her sing without any visual input.

A good voice, but certainly no better than many others.

They wouldn't have the time to listen to every care in the community case that turns up.

The whole thing is so heavily edited, so that it appears to be like the modern day equivalent of watching gladiators fight in the Coliseum, with the audience giving the final thumbs up or down.

I like the guy who played the saxophone ... could be a good contender to Susan Boyle ... and would be lovely to see a musician win instead of a singer.

I reckon the sax player has it in the bag, he exuded talent, maybe too much though? I would love to see him win but it will no doubt be some small child or a dancing dog !!:rolleyes:

Not sure West Ender .. not an expert on saxophonists, but was just the whole picture to me .. his personality, dress ... x-factor stuff. That's what gets people noticed. As Susan Boyle .. decent voice .. just different from the rest of the glam. vocalists seeking fame and fortune.... ex-factor again. There are lots of people in choirs and backing groups who are just as good as the well-known singers ... luck of the draw.

Sure he is pretty good as far as saxophonists are concerned .. had been playing for years, and a music teacher to boot.

Didn't enjoy the young lad though ... always a little strange when these young people have a voice beyond their years ... the songs don't quite match their immaturity somehow. Bordering on the edge of precautiousness . a quality I don't like ... different than confidence.

Why do I get the feeling that, if she was attractive and well-dressed, she would have been treated as "average" by Cowell & Co., the audience, the viewing public and the rest of the world? The Americans are all over her like a rash because they think there's something wrong with her. She has a good voice, granted, but it's only really exceptional because it's coming out of her body.

Will just have to wait and see.
