If you haven't seen her video yet, it's worth watching:

I love Simon Cowell's reaction.

This version of the video has the lyrics to the right.
Over 5 million views!

Ed started a similar thread this morning......

viewtopic.php?f=31&t=76602

She brought me to tears....and I loved what the judges had to say to her. I'd watch AI if it was more like that show.

Thank you so much for sharing that! It made me cry in the best way possible.

Sorry! I did a search for Susan Boyle before I posted it. I found a post in a different Spider Johnson thread but no thread of its own.

No worries....and I doubt Ed would care either, I'm betting his only agenda was to make sure the rest of us got to hear her.
What a wonderful gift the woman has that has finally been opened to the world. I'm not a big Simon Cowell fan, but he'll gain major points with me if he helps make Susan's dream come true. She's far too talented to not share that gift.

No problems with me.......just a testament to the human spirit in it's purest sense. Thank you Susan and best of luck!

Lesson on not judging a book by it's cover huh?

I saw this on the Morning News this morning, was a blubbering idiot on my way to work.

I'm so happy for her. And that is such a beautiful song..

Saw this earlier today ... that is such a hard song to sing .... she does an amazing job.

Good luck to her.

With all the bad news and injustices we hear about each day, we need more stories like Susan Boyle.....

She makes us remember that despite all that is so terribly wrong in this world, God-given talent brings so much joy when shared with others.

I can't stop watching that video!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy to see everyone else crying. My hubby didn't know WHAT was wrong with me when ABC News just promo'd it coming up last night and I started crying because I'd seen it on YouTube earlier.

Just the raw expressions of surprise on the judges and the audience makes it so much more effective. They were so sure they were going to see someone make a fool of herself. And the content of the lyrics.... That's what got me too!

Just a tiny clip on NBC News tonight. They missed the boat last night, by just referring to it and suggesting people visit their website to watch it. ABC News showed the highlights of the whole video last night.

You go girl

Here's a link to her interview this morning on CBS Early Show: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/04/ ... 9521.shtml

Even Patti La Pone gave her kudos on singing such a difficult song!

Lightning Bolt · Post by **Lightning Bolt** » April 16, 2009 12:57 pm

saw this last night.

Her voice brought tears to my eyes

chippewa · Post by **chippewa** » April 16, 2009 1:07 pm

I hope that girl in the audience that rolled her eyes before she ever got the chance to sing learned a little something that night.
Bless her heart.

She is everything some posters on here denigrate -- older, authentic, brilliantly talented, humble and gracious. Thanks to Ed and whomever else who sees this and shares it.

So I'm looking at the Yahoo front page just now...
They're talking about how Ms. Boyle is handling her new popularity

...and how soon was she would getting that makeover?

You can say that again, wow, just wow!!!!!!!!!!

I can't be the only one who didn't like her. I thought she was shrill.
I don't get it.

But hey, some folks don't like my singing either!
