Definitely big improvement from Paul Potts.
Goddamn I still can't get over the fact that he was considered 'good'.


Whoa there.

Wow that API is pretty slick. With like 20 seconds of regex text editting I was able to grab the last 100 pages accessed. I could even grep for /search/ or whatever.

It's easy to be cynical, but at the end of the day this is a lady who got up in front of a nation and sung her heart out. Living her dream.
Kudos to her. The audience reaction is just a side effect.


I see your point, but I daresay the audience reaction is a rather large portion of that dream of hers she lived out.

Had she gotten up there and heard nothing but crickets when she was done I'd think her dream would have been more killed than lived.

As endearing as this was, it was kinda weird how they were all outta their seats and cheering madly the second she started. I think they were getting impatient for another Paul Potts type.


You're fucking joking ain't you?

The moment she started singing my hairs stood on end. Coupled with the fact that EVERYONE was thinking "who the fuck is this weirdo?" 10 quid says no one will think that again, specially when she's all dolled up by professional fashion/makeup dudez.

Apparently she's 47, lives on her own with her cat, never been kissed, and the children mock her in the street. I could think of no one more deserving.

And what's more is, by the way she was walking off the stage, it's clear that was the best thing she's ever done, ever. The most amazing moment of her life and i'm so happy for her.

Edit: The sound quality is shit, it's selling her voice short.

Perhaps it's because the audience has the emotional and mental breadth and depth of a thimble.

Your video, Susan Boyle - Singer - Britains Got Talent 2009, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Thanks mate, I had a similar reaction. The embed is fixed now, though it's missing her introduction, which is a shame.
