A Scottish Kate Smith

I re watched the you tube thing probably over 30 times. Growing up in the early 1950's she reminds me of Kate Smith. There are so many types of material she could record on CD. Pop, Broadway & even patriotic tunes. Would I buy a SB CD? YES, if she mixes it up & delivers it with the same vocal intensity she displayed on the show.

IMO Simon knew her talent level before she even sang a note, but the other two judges & audience appeared to be in the dark. Solid Citizen :rolleyes:

Speaking truth to power! Yes, it is a farce. Not Susan's singing, but this whole mythology built around her in order to raise a show's ratings. I remember watching the judges' on-camera reactions to Susan Boyle's I Dreamed a Dream and thinking, "They look so fake, so planned, so self-aware." The only true reactions came from the audience -- unless it was being told to applaud even louder, which is possible.

Those really obvious on-camera reactions are fake - they all admitted in a documentary that in all of these reality/talent/audition shows they film a load of extra reactions and silly faces afterwards and then edit them in!

Wild Horses could not drag me away from hearing this fine instrument of Susan Boyle. I shall get her CD and waiting with expectation. Unreal voice.

I don't care about any of the "stuff"

IMHO, 2 singing stars have fell from the constellation and been given as gifts to us at the moment.
. Celine and now Susan Boyle. Do you hear the crowd in the link. I think they feel the same.

She sings and I and many others weep in the deepest part of our beings.

Just wait and see how big she becomes..
