Look at some of today’s “pop icons.” Appearance and thin talent are the rule, and the biz wonders why their sales suck. But every once in awhile, someone comes along that proves real talent wins every time….
Good for you, Susan Boyle.

My oldest, now on iTunes
Excellent! I confess, I’m now wondering if either Mama Cass or Aretha Franklin could have made it in today’s really lame music market.
For real music today, I recommend the blues, jazz, or bluegrass.
More later . . .
From my point of view, she’s a youngster still.
One who turned in a very strong performance.
Foxyroxxy, with all due respect it isn’t about youth. This whole ideology that we must achieve between the ages of 19 to 29 is very narrow minded and most people feel this way.
This woman is amazing now and should be given the same opportunities our younger generation is given. If it is about music then she is an ace, and should be given a musical contract. I would buy it. If its about youth and looks (fake boobs, flaunting the booty, and grabbing the crotch) that is “entertainment”, it’s “performing” and nothing really to do with musical legends.
Humans have “talent” throughout their lives, and I wish we would stop limiting them to a very small window of life…20 something or 30 something.
in…CREDIBLE. Home run from the 1st NOTE!
I believe it reminds me of this one fat guy who could’ve been on the “America’s got talent” version and just BELTED out this MINDBLOWING opera number. Amazing stuff, even if you don’t enjoy opera
Wow! She is amazing! I can’t stop sniffling! Let’s hear it for middle-age! Sad that it took this long for someone to recognize she had talent. What is it about middle-age that makes wake up and be willing to risk more to get our dreams – too bad we didn’t learn to do it when we were younger. You Go Susan Boyle!
How beautiful and she did rock the audience as she did me. Thanks for sharing it Bob.
sorry for the typos, next time I will proofread.
Too bad they could never get someone like that on American Idol. I might watch it. Might.
I don’t want televison (I don’t even own one) because of shows like this and the biased media.
The performer (Susan Boyle) and women and men “like her”, whatever that is should never be ridiculed like she was. Clearly she has a beautiful voice to match her beautiful personality.
We live in such a shallow world that if you don’t have fake boobs, fake hair and “fix” everything that appears “ugly” then we are the joke! Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Isn’t the joke on those who believe beauty comes in silicone (or saline) that we PLANT IN OUT BOUDIES? That beauty comes in a hair color bottle? That beauty comes from botox? Botulism??? Yeah, real beautiful!!!!
I find myself always gravitating to the Susan Boyles of the world and I run like hell when I come across those folks on the panel sitting in judgment!
You see the young lady roll her eyes in the audience before she started singing?
Awesome performance, and good for you Susan Boyle!
What an extraordinary performance!
No offense to all the youngun’s out there with great pipes, but sometimes it takes the legitamacy of age to pull off lyrics like those in “I Dreamed a Dream”.
I’ve sent this to everyone I know…with tissue alert. It’s a triumph of spirit.
Take that you popstar pantywaists! Takes a real woman to belt out such beauty from her entire soul! Good on you Susan Boyle
And a personal note.
It was believed (in my household) that Marley & Me would bring a tear to my eye. While being sad, it didn’t come close.
Susan Boyle’s performance, overcoming the mean prejudgments, has left me misty.
