Ok, I don't get this. Close your eyes then listen. She aint THAT good. get past the hype, the looks, the editing and its nothing special?
She'll be another Paul Potts. Cowells golden egg, worked for a year, knock out a ropey album and short tour then thrown to the lions never to be heard of again.

Her story is about the triumph of the human spirit! She was a nobody, living for her mother who encouraged her to be SOMEBODY before she died! She sang in church every week, the locals knew and loved her, but she didn't stand a chance at being anything close to famous. Her mother died and she swore she'd try to achieve something for her mother. This woman deserves all of the good things that come her way; it's like winning the Irish Sweepstakes! You can be as cynical as you want, some people GET IT, and recognize a bit of themselves in Susan Boyle. I say GO GIRL!

Blimey, lets not get to dewy eyed eh. There's plenty of people out there with comparable stories. Her mother encouraged her? How old is she? 50? Make your own choices in life.
If she was 25, reasonably good looking NO ONE would bat an eye lid!
And Paul Potts did well but have you heard zip from him in the last couple of years?>
Thought not....

Behave Gaz! You know what I'm saying.
The TV show is like a modern freak show whereby viewers laugh at the stupid and get sympathetic over someone who doesn't fit the norm and has a 'story.
You know Paul Potts and most of the winners of these shows are hardly ever heard of again. Why's Paul Potts album out soon? To uses the present show publicity machine. Nothing else. Cash cows for Cowell.
All I'm saying is if you get past the hype, the story, the looks she's actually not THAT great a singer.....
