LOL she is in New York today apparently for some makeover show. Then I saw her performance on at least two American stations. Plus the viewers online is some astronomical number. Methinks she needs to be very selective of who gets that first kiss as the weirdo's/slimeballs will be circling.

'Britain's Got Talent' Lady Needs Support

Internet sensation Susan Boyle will probably get a record contract after wowing the world -- and Simon Cowell -- with her singing on "Britain's Got Talent" this week, but what she could really use is a brassiere.

Susan's natural talent is sure to bolster the music industry's sagging sales.

Didn't some homely gent do the same thing last year? And it turned out he had way more experience than he let on?

These people are ringers, and I think we are being had.

Not normally a fan of these kind of acts, but this guy is good. He can sing better while ventriloquising than most professionals can.


The guy also signed a 5 year 200 million dollar deal to perform in vegas.

Fator is crazy talented, as a ventriloquist he sings better than actual top 40 singers.

I'd pay money to see him, before seeing him on TV I would never have paid money to see a ventriloquist act.

This is a recording from 99' when Susan Boyle did a CD for a local charity

The song is cry me a river.

Honestly, it is the best rendition I've ever heard.

What a great little story they've got going there. I'm really happy for her break and I hope she rides it as long as she can. Great voice for an amateur.

I think she had some when she was younger, but mainly she practiced at church and karaoke.

the reason i like these shows so much more than the idol variants is because even though the singers usually win, you get to see so much more original acts like these guys



with american idol, you know what you're going to see from person to person. what makes the first few episodes of these talent shows so interesting is that you never know who or what will take the stage next

and these guys from the Britain show are awesome

Well the song was originally written for Ella Fitzgerald, but for me, the true emotion of that song comes through when Babs sings it. She really makes you feel the agony of being left behind in a break up.

Yeah, Babs is a pro, but when you compare the two, although Susan's voice is pleasant and easy to listen to, Babs by far has the better voice. Total control of the phrasing and her pipes. Susan's version is "too nice" for that song, not enough pain.
