Talent show judges blown away by 47 year old

[countryboy]

I have 2 daughters who are singers (one in opera) and they were the ones that brought Ms. Boyle to my attention originally, and I'm glad they did.

I have a friend over in Japan who is sending me the new CD (it's in English, of course) that was just released over there. She's taking Japan by storm too! What an incredible natural talent.

no one gave her a chance because of her looks now she is famous and she looks good.

A lesson to all those talent agents who passed her by which is the product sells the person can be improved

And she's certainly had her own personal problems over the years. Which makes it even more exciting to see her conquer all that she's had to endure and become a huge success. She exudes what some people call "positive energy" in spades...she's bringing a lot of listening pleasure to people all over the world.

And just imagine the inspiration she must be bringing to all those young singers out there who might otherwise avoid the pursuit of a singing career because of their looks or some other drawback...go for it!!!

As near as I can tell, her album has broken all records and is still going strong. Somebody suggested that sales of this CD will likely hit 4 million over Christmas.

We were all hoping Susan Boyle would make it big time because we thought she deserved it. To all those who were hoping for her success.....Susan Boyle has already made over five million pounds from her first album.

At one time it would have been sacriligious to put Striesand second in anything but her version of "Cry Me a River"is just not up to Susan Boyle's .

I read in the news today that Susan Boyle's first album was a huge success. Enough of a success for her to get a check on her birthday for five million dollars. That is good to hear. The promises have turned into cash.

Just a short update.

Boyle's latest album "the Gift" will probably make her a few more millions. I'm glad to see she is having some success after her late start.

I don't even know her and she has been like 'my best friend' since the audition in 2009. I like to watch that audition every so often and have her second CD now. I would never buy that many Xmas songs by anybody else!!! Nosireeee!
Susan is a joy to behold...fainting at hearing she was going to sing for the POPE then gets carted off in a golf cart for a medical check-up singing chattanatta-choo-choo-....God bless her ! What a treasure!
