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.

Wow. Didn't see that one coming at all...

Simon's adoring gaze @ 4:02 is priceless.

Fixed. Thanks all, and for the link Boblobblaw.

Looks like this version misses the preamble which is a shame. All the full length versions appear to have their embeds disabled.

*Dead again. This video is gonna be a pain in the ass to keep up if we keep using Youtube clips.

Let's get some Break.com up in this bitch -

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

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.

Doesn't hurt that she chose the most perfect song for her. I admit it. I teared up.

I'm impressed but not that impressed. Maybe it is just the sound quality, but she doesn't seem to have a very large range. I agree with EndAll that they all wanted another Paul Potts.

So I don't watch these types of shows, I just don't find them that interesting, but, wow -- seeing someone achieve the human dream from an underdog position like hers is inspiring.

I rate this performance 5/5 tears.

Was I the only expecting hip hop?

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.

Was going to be all cynical and snarky here. Until 3:30. Wow.

I know some are saying blah blah homely blah blah whatever, but I figure she has a promising career waiting in cartoon voice-over work. Some of the hyenas Disney has been using lately are like fingernails on chalkboard.

Definitely big improvement from Paul Potts.

Goddamn I still can't get over the fact that he was considered 'good'.

She recorded "Cry me a River" in 1999 for a charity CD.

Whoa there.

I know a little boy that's heard about this so much that he's about to puke his balls out of his mouth..
