EAT your heart out, SIMON COWELL
The title of this should be "Britains Got Talent 2009 - Susan Boyle" ... but I just love the way SIMON COWELL's facial expression changed BEFORE & AFTER the song...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luRmM1J1sfg
The audience were on their feet and cheering by the time 47 year-old Susan Boyle had finished singing.
The unassuming, currently unemployed lady from West Lothian near Edinburgh had looked shy and a little out of place as she stepped on stage.
There were even smirks on the judges' faces when she told them, "I am trying to be a professional singer. I've never been given a chance before but hopefully that will change".
Then Susan, who has ambitions to sing on stage like Elaine Paige, launched into the West End anthem I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables.
And the look of shock and awe on Simon Cowell's face as he did a double-take at her talent was worth a million pounds in itself. As Simon recovered, Piers and Amanda were giving Susan a standing ovation.
Piers told her, "Without a doubt that was the biggest surprise I have had in three years. When you stood there with that cheeky grin and said 'I want to be like Elaine Paige' everyone was laughing at you. No-one is laughing now, that was stunning. I am reeling from shock".
Amanda agreed. "I am so thrilled because I know everyone was against you. We are all so cynical but that was a complete wake up call. It was a complete privilege".
You really can't judge a book by it's cover...hehehehe
indeed....a priviledge to listen her voice...
Stavros flatly performance is very entertaining too! and Simon gave a YES!

trully amazing!!! magnifico!!!
rake the money! Hope Susan enjoys her fortune! Remember, guys, talent is talent. Those who will do the packaging will get the "fair" share!
"dgoodrebel will always be the rebellious good one"
and AFTER she sang was the gem of it all.
Now, someone uploaded in YOUTUBE a 10 y/o recording of "CRY ME A RIVER" Susan did.
Now, Larry King and OPRAH wants to interview her...WOW!!!

Simon got a "little tiger" indeed :-)
a conversation class about describing personality
they had to describe her before and after she sang and think of some questions they would ask her....
ok edfis?
What class, are you a teacher?
I loved it....so much so I showed it to my class....
they loved it to!
Her voice is amazing....how many people get an audience on their feet within a few bars of the song beginning?
wonder if she knows she is popular in Qatar too? :)
but that frumpy late 40 lady might have her shot in singing for THE QUEEN...
She's from Glasgow, Scotland, which is under your country's governance,right?
Why should she go for an extreme makeover? Her looks doesn't affect her voice, and she is a singer and not a beauty paegent contestant. She is marketable already. And everything depends on her future performances.
a few frumpy, late 40's singers, then the Kingdom is really going down the craphouse..........

I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.
Personally, I love that song "I Dreamed a dream" of the Les Miserables soundtrack and Susan Boyle's rendition did justice to the song.
Wallah...I'm even following her now...to watch how she would fair throughout that contest. She might end up singing for THE QUEEN (the real QUEEN,not the rock band), who knows...
This is another reminder to never judge a book by its cover or language. It might look rusty and is written in a different language that we don’t practice or master.
Thanks much.
Salam
that Sinmon Cowell has offered her a recording contract already.
For those that cannot acces youtube, this link will give you the video.

where is she hiding her talent all those years???
i wish her all the luck not just in "Britain's got talent" but in her future career as well...
"Take my advice, im not using it"
In fact, there are rumours that Simon and Susan have since chatted about the possibility of a much dreamed-of record deal.
I agree...she sure does need a MAKE-OVER. :-)
Alexa, there are many "ugly" artists, fat ones, short ones, gay ones ... But they are so good that they cannot be denied.
and she still has to go through rounds of competitions and if she's lucky enough to be at the FINALS
The point of this is: (if you watched the video)
Simon, Amanda and Piers already pre-judged SUSAN as one of those wannabees who thinks they have talent but don't. And typically of a SCottish, they tend to be kinda cheeky....hehehehe
Simon is known for NOT MINCING WORDS when it comes to judging talents...but did you see how his EYES WIDENED with surprise? hehehehe...memorable scene, indeed.
i would buy one, ... as long as she sings that one she did at the show, "I dreamed a dream"...
Of course she is marketable. There are millions who would buy her records as an unicate.
Her voice is amazing ! What a character ! She deserves fame and fortune.
looks like it! :P
Simon is in love, 4:25-4:30!
i just love the way the judges' facial expression (especially Simon) changed as soon as she sang.. and the audience just went wild from the start... i just love this lady!
Will watch it once I reach home

her performance was truly moving.... oh, i wanna watch it again!
Goosebumps? Man, I couldn't help it, but I cried.
that is so true.. everyone on that show never expected that.... they've learned their lesson... taught the Susan Boyle way.... i wouldn't mind listening to her sing over and over again..
Never judge a book by its cover :)
in your face Simon!! now that's what i call performance!!!! seriously, i got goosebumps while watching that, same way i felt when i watched Charice's performance of Star Spangled Banner..
from the intro to the backstage interview.
Susan Boyle looked and sounded cheeky...but she got ALL the right to be...whehehehe
I really wanna see it azilana, but youtube is blocked in my office, I saw it in the msn news today. I'll go home n check.
"Ali Baba and 40 thieves" are now "Ali Baba and 30 thieves" ; 10 were laid off.
I was like..."Simon, that'll show you!!!"...lol
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
