Re: Susan Boyle...The Debate... Hehe
I've said it before and I will say it again, NEVER EVER judge book by it's cover, hope we see lots more of her, what a lovely lady, looks are not everything and it sounds as though she was so unselfish she gave all her time to care for her dear Mum, well maybe now this is HER time to shine, God bless her.

Along wi Cry me a river,she now has over 70 million hits on various forums like YT and Daily Motion,and yet just over a week ago she was unheard of,amazing.
Shaheen Jafargholi on Saturday nite's show wiz good tae. |

I see she now has a minder < a member of BGT production crew>. I would think she probably needs it. Apparently she suffered all kinds of abuse and taunts because of her "mild learning difficulties". The same people who took part in the abuse are now praising her and making her their own.
Of course the government in making efficiency savings will also be off the mark to stop her benefits. I think her success is well deserved and hope she goes on to win the live show. Its great when ordinary every day people succeed in this way. |

| Xcotty |
Thats what I like about her Ricky, just an ordinary lady.
But with an extraordinary voice.
I just hope the media, and music world'ite's, don't ruin her. |
||||||
| Bluemoon |
Love her. Government canny deny she is actively seeking work 
|
||||||
| no the full shillin |
I just loved the looks on peoples faces when she said "I'm trying to be a professional singer".
They sneered and laughed at her. Oh how they were put in their place when she started singing.
|
||||||
| Sidsnotwasere |
Thing is,there are probably lots of folk just like her,only too shy to let the world know how good they are.
In fact ye shud hear me singing in the bath,awesome so i am. In fact,naw,yer no hearin' me sing in the bath ya bunch of pervs,shift,scram,beat it.... |

| Xcotty |
Aye Hoots, she seems to be coping with the insults, and the attention really well.
I hope she wins too, she deserves a chance, to record that brilliant voice. I thought she made a good job of that song, but could handle a few others better.

Latest ah've seen, she's losin' the heid a wee biy.
She definitely needs a wee bit o' help thro' this kerfuffle. Bless 'er. ........................................................................... So this is the kingdom of heaven, and here on the threshold I stand |

It canny be easy tho cos you think,a couple of weeks ago,totally unknown,noo she's worldwide noos,we wud be the same if we were in her shoes,tho a widny be wearing her shoes cos people wud look at me and say,"Haw Sid,ya big wummin ye." 
|
||||||
| Xcotty |
I'm sure the sudden attention will affect her for a while.
But hopefully, it won't change her, and she'll just get on with singing. Does anyone else think she looks a bit like this fella?
|
||||||
| rickyross3359 |
Xcotty like Les Dawson?  I widnae be surprised if she tells Cowell to go to hell on a hand cart. Even if she disnae win she will have a hit album at the very least.
|
||||||
| Mad Welshie |
Whats wrong with her speech? 
|
||||||
| rickyross3359 |
Whilst going to Utube and watching Ms Boyles performance of "I dreamed a dream" from Les Mis. Funny enough Utube offered alternatives -the divine Petula Clark in concert in the USA a couple of years ago. It's not perfection she speaks a couple of notes but the final note last forever.......
Unfortunately she is 75 now and she just loves her ART of performing in front of a live audience. Younger pop idols take note - and very carefully. |
||||||
| eloise |
Absolute class and professionalism
|
||||||
| Bluemoon |
Who ??? |
||||||
| eloise |
Pet Clark who else 
|
||||||
| Perisphere |
Not a thing, as we here all know. I for one have no trouble understanding her at all. It's the dumb other thick Americans who can't/don't/won't get it, that they've got to spoon-feed her speaking to. |
||||||
| Bluemoon |
Never understood what folk saw in her. She does nothing for me. Her and Julie Andrews  
|
||||||
| Lady of Kincavel |
I must admit, I was never a great fan of Petula Clark. I thought she was greatly over-rated as a singer and I didn't think she oozed much personality either. | ||||||
| Sidsnotwasere |
Wasnt a patch on Dusty Springfield.
|
||||||
| Bluemoon |
Loved Dusty | ||||||
| eloise |
I did like Pet a lot, loved Dusty though. | ||||||
| Lady of Kincavel |
Dusty had a very unique style of singing and I was a great fan of hers. I always felt she had an air of tragedy about her though. | ||||||
| eloise |
Yeah I thought that, like there was some big disaster around her,shame as she really was a star.But saying that I did have a real love for Pet, she did have a unique voice too,I have read a few things about her and she seeems a really nice lady who likes to keep her life quite private, good for her. |
||||||
| rickyross3359 |
Well unfortunately a lot of people specially in the UK just think of the really commercial stuff or even worse her really early material. When she went to France it transformed her and then came her immense success in the States. I think she is better than Dusty although I love her too and have some material of hers. Far from being over-rated <especially in the UK> she is underated.
Even now she performs and believe me I saw her at the Royal Concert hall in Glasgow just last year. She is amazing. One of her recent songs "Children of color" shows she has just got it. Petula is nothing like Julie Andrews by the way. You tube some of her stuff. She should be made a Dame man! Her duet with Dusty "Corner of the sky" I like very much too. |
||||||
| rickyross3359 |
By the way just adding to my post above. When I went to the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow last year. The audience <it was a packed house> was not just old folk. Many were my age late 40's 50's. Then there were the older group but the first few rows were filled with screaming queens young gays. Glad I was in the seventh row with my youngest daughter LOL. .
I met her backstage as per usual and she is amazing for a woman now in her mid 70's no she has got my vote.

I hope aifter last night Su Bo can keep the heid !!
It would ba horrible if she alienated too mony folk at this stage. She can hae a good F & blind & cursin' session AIFTER she's won
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Once there was a way to get back homeward |
||||||
| eloise |
Don't believe everything you read, I would like to see proof that it actually did happen !! |
||||||
| Xcotty |
I must have missed something about her, what happened please?
By the way, when she sung in the semi final, I thought she'd blown it. Her first word, was in the wrong key, and really wobbly. She was nervous, till the second verse. The final chorus was amazing though. She really does have a brilliant voice, doubt she'll win though. She's a bit mad.

Maybe its Welshie?

I was enthralled by the sax player, Julian Smith. I think he'll give Susuan a run for her money.
I think also that if we analyse the Susan Boyle phenomena, it was not only her voice which amazed people at the start, it was the unexpectedness of such a voice coming from a plain middle aged woman. The media went to town and overnight built her into a winner. Had she been a twenty something babe, she might not have received quite so many accolades. It's a bit sad I think, and now that the final is here Susan may find that there are other talented folk in the final and that it won't be the walkover she has been led by the media, to believe. What worries me is how she will take it if she doesn't win, since she has become so famous overnight. I wish her the best of luck though. |
||||||
| Perisphere |
At least she can take some comfort in having done the best of any of the solo singers, only being bettered by one dance troupe. | ||||||
| Lady of Kincavel |
And she was very gracious in defeat. Whether she won or not though, I think she will have a great career now, as will the Sax Player Julian. | ||||||
| Mad Welshie |
What a shame she lost. She deserved to win. Congrats to her though for coming second

Shame for Susan Boyle , but deep down I would have liked Stavros Flatley to win, but thought Diversity were fantastic and deserved it. 
|
||||||
| Lady of Kincavel |
The entire finale was great entertainment and should be put on as the Royal Variety Show, instead of all the dull and boring acts by dull and boring people that HM has to sit through annually.
There was something for everyone in the finale and I thoroughly enjoyed it all. |

Read here that She is in a clinic for exhaustion.

I think it's probably for the best, she didn't win.
Poor woman, has had so many insults, canny be easy for her. Humans are notoriously cruel, when someone gets on a bit. In public she seems to take it in her stride, but behind closed doors, I bet it's a different story. She done really well, in the final, and should be proud of that. Diversty were absolutely amazing though, and really deserved to win. Susan Boyle, can relax, and take the best offer made to her now though. I hope it's not too long before we hear again, I really love her voice. Good luck to you Miss Boyle, you deserve this.

Eh agree the paparazzo should be taken out and shot. (dinna really mean that literally). 
But they cause more trouble and are only to happy for it, as its more news for them. 
Eh dinna blame anyone for punching them, they deserve it, the trouble they cause.

think when Susan is ready to shine, she will.. noone or anything will alter that... she will in her own time...
|
||||||
| Lady of Kincavel |
I certainly hope it's not the last we'll hear of that fabulous voice, though I think she will need better handling by the experts. | ||||||
| Sidsnotwasere |
Papers are saying there wizza fone scam.no surprise there then. | ||||||
| eloise |
Really what makes me mad is when do we actually see the votes, I think it was fixed although I didn't mind Diversity winning. |
||||||
| Loopy Lou |
I liked Diversity and was pleased to see them win but my heart just goes out to Susan. She didn't deserve any of the media circus that went on for just getting up on stage and singing brilliantly.
Hope you get better soon Susan! |
||||||
| eloise |
Yeah, I don't think she actually realised just how popular she was, but I'm sure she will get the help and care she now needs, think it was all too much for her, God bless her so glad I got to hear her talent that voice ........
|
||||||
| trickybizz |
I think that there had been so much positivity in the press for Susan.. when she first appeared in BGT... quite rightly so.
And then the media as it is, decides to be negative and think that really affected Susan. Who wouldn't feel that, so don't blame her, having some quiet time to herself. She has to believe in herself. Like that first time she sang that song on the show. She was confident and proved them all wrong. She needs to get that back. |
||||||
| eloise |
Couldn't have put it better myself

| rickyross3359 |
Apparently she just got out the Priory Clinic this week. I bet she was well looked after there though! Now she is living in a flat and London meeting her management. She hopes to cut her first single soon. Hopefully it all works out for her.
Come to think of it I could do with a couple of weeks at the Priory masel this week. Her brother was on GMTV speaking about her. He seemed to think that she would be able to return to Scotland permanently now. That might be hard for her. She even has an invite to sing at the White House. |
||||||
| Loopy Lou |
I don't think her life will ever be the same again either in London or in Scotland. But I sincerely hope that it changes for the better, I just loved the moment we saw everyone's faces when she started to sing. It really stuck two fingers up to the audience and the judges.
Good luck to you Susan - hope it all works out well.
|
||||||
| Xcotty |
Aye, when she first walked onto that stage, and everyone took the p.
Then when she sung, and the faces all changed, was brilliant. Don't judge a book by the cover, it's so true. No one can take that voice away from her, I hope they don't take her sense of humour either. |
||||||
| Sidsnotwasere |
Anno ye'll mibbee disagree wi me,but i hope she gets rid of that silly wee leg show she sumtimes puts on,she's way too good for that kinda stuff. | ||||||

She's a bit quirky right enough Sid, but I like her.
