And this gal is raw?... Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Barbara Streisand eat your hearts out....
Talent show judges blown away by 47 year old

Any of those singers sound rather ordinary next to Ms Boyle. She has a crystal purity in her voice that very few have. I wonder what the hell has held her back? I suppose some ad type didn't think she would look good on a record cover. I predict that this woman is going to be a millionaire in a month or two. The sad thing is that she should have been a millionaire years ago.
To add cliche to this whole story of rags to riches, she was caring for her ailing Mother for all these years.
I listened to this and thought it had to be Barbara Streisand singing it. I listened to Streisand singing it on YouTube. She isn't nearly as good as Susan Boyle is!!
Juan I hope by now she has been signed up to do both audio and video of her collection of songs she knows - and is probably being bombarded by writers to record their own works.
She is truly a masterpiece of a musical artist - and her physical appearance has so little to do with it - but as someone wrote here - we are all conditioned to see plastic replicas of humans who look more like robots than real people....
I look forward to hearing more of her work - it's not often we get treated to a huge natural talent. If only the 'managers' can be kept at a distance.
I think she is truly a beautiful person right now as she is - I've seen too many gifted artists 'taken in' by the sales merchants and delivered into such anxiety over their appearances, their natural talent has been affected. I hope there is someone in ther life who loves her - for herself - to protect her from the sharks.

Bear - not certain if you put up the audio to Cry Me A River - but whoever it was (including you Bear) thank you so much!
That's a bitch of a song and most singers slide into the note changes instead of going from a deep low one then sliding up there to the next higher note...instead of hitting the center of the next note right on target as she does...her voice is luscious, versatile, and her pitch is truly god given.
She is fantastic......... happy that there is someone out there who can sing as she does..... and hoping like hell she isn't ruined by the promoters.....
I am also quite jealous - but to be jealous of that talent is a great choice!

She needs a really good agent. If she has an agent she should fire him/her and get another. I don't know how this woman was still for the most part unknown until a couple days ago. I would have thought Susan Boyle would be easy to sell to a record company.
What I find amazing is that someone like Susan Boyle who has a brogue/accent that is almost a speech impediment and she sings with a voice that is clear as a bell and with no accent whatsoever.
I'll ditto Curio. Too much emphasis put on people's covers. Lots of people aren't the Barbie and Ken sort; look at Barb Streisand, Oscar Peterson, Luciano Pavaroti, Barry Manilow, etc.
Susan Boyle has a wonderful voice and we think she's talented and that is what counts.

The reich wing has to politicize even the most innocent of entertainment.
Now I've seen everything.

I like the character she's shown, in finishing what she started.
She's almost to good to be true. How long before the cynics find pic's of her freebasing a kitten or something?
Anything to bring someone down...:-|...:lol:
That's for sure, and from what I've gathered, she's pretty much a stellar member of her town as well.
