What were you expecting, a Susan Boyle moment? Just wait for Kanye or Miley or some other douche to co-opt it, then 2 years from now you will be saying how much you despise what it has become and how much you appreciated it before it started trending.

Fixed and thanks.

So for the record, he apparently attended a performing arts high school, but "could not continue with any professional training because of his financial situation" (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choi_Sung-Bong). So he is by no means a street urchin who had never sung before.

There was also a bit of a controversy because he apparently stated that he had been trained to sing in high school but it was edited out for television audiences. This would not be the first such occurrence, as recently on So You Think You Can Dance the choreography performed by two of the performers was directly lifted from another group (called Les Twins), and nonetheless praised for its originality - apparently the duo did credit their source, but it was edited out to make them appear more impressive.

I also learned from this research that apparently Susan Boyle had recorded a CD for charity before her appearance, and Paul Potts had been an amateur operatic singer who had taken a masterclass with Pavarotti.

For the inevitable cries of "hater" out there - I do not think that this diminishes their talent or achievement, or how tough this kid's life has clearly been. But people do not just turn into semi-professional opera singers by practicing in their rooms...

Why would Susan Boyle do that to a cat?

The woman @ the end was saying "You don't need to be beautiful with a voice like that, you can be homely" but geez, it's not like she was Susan Boyle or something.

The next Susan Boyle?

So... was that a baroque Nothing Else Matters at the end, or did Metallica steal some Ukrainian melody?

no, she stole Apotaliptica's version of Metallica's nothing else matters.
i wonder how many people in the audience knew the context of this song..more than just a pretty melody.


Wtf?

Sorry, this guy does an adequate job at a beautiful song (I also hate the vocal wobble, though I've heard worse). It's a great story about overcoming stage fright to share your talent, but it doesn't quite compare to Susan Boyle, and it's nothing compared to the original breakout singer on Britain's Got Talent, Paul Potts: http://www.videosift.com/video/A-Cell-Phone-Salesman-Sings-Opera-Nessun-Dorma

Your video, Susan Boyle Mania - Charlie Brooker, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

That pixelation effect was a bit lame. You can TOTALLY recognize Susan Boyle.

Can I call bullshit on this? Can we all stop being so fucking patronizing? It's great that the guy has not given up on life, but I think it's fucking lame to ask everyone in the world to buy into the "polite lie" that he actually belongs in a ring with able-bodied fighters.

I would run up and kick him in his fucking face.

This is as offensive to me as everyone making a big deal out of Susan Boyle. Yes, she can sing well. If she was young good looking nobody would make a big fucking deal out of it. This is what I call political correctness run amok.
