The best she can hope for is to play a singing washer woman in Les Miserables or something. I despise the way people fawn over this shite. She aint getting a record deal. Have you never seen "Little Voice" ? Yeah, garbage. There's Joy In Expatriation. | |

[Edited 4/16/09 14:23pm] While I'll admit I was blown away with her vocal ability she has as of yet showed any chops of being able to carry off a acting gig. Plus after a couple of viewings the editing and music score which played through out the the 2nd half just to manipulate the viewer seems heavy handed. A brilliant cocktail of talent and manipulation. I'll watch but I don't see her going anywhere beyond being a youtube darling. most theatre divas are singers who can kind of act. betty buckely is one of the least talented actresses i have ever seen, but sings like a wren. granted, i haven't seen the woman act, but... and yes, the underscore is very manipulative.

There could be other demographics out there for her... ...otherwise we wouldn't have stories of amazing singers who get deals and reach international success at nearly 50 years old... ...Cesaria Evora, anyone..? i didnt know there was a video for this!!!!! i f-ing love this song! | |

Heard about this on the news, just seen the full version.
I wish I had seen it live to experience the prejudice guilt and shock. I think Amanda's comments are so pertinant. I like the way it was edited too, like the producers know how the audiences respond to potential fruitloops. It was laughing at itself a bit, nice touch.

cborgman said: JustErin said: Wait, why is it amazing?
that voice is stunning... and very not common, particularly with no training Exactly! This woman has a stunning voice and I'm so glad it's being recognized. Those that have assisted in the success of someone like Britney Spears (and many others) should be bitchslapped. This woman deserves every success. Good luck to her. | |

ok so, yeah she can sing. i'll give her that. but i wonder if we are reacting as well to the response of the audience as well as, maybe more importantly, the judges.
i mean, when i saw Simon Cowell, who i do think is a nasty piece of work, respond like that, it made me feel...well...good. | |

Since her TV appearance, the original version of the song Boyle chose to perform on Britain's Got Talent has rocketed up the iTunes music charts. A record deal with Sony BMG is in the works, and ticket sales for the Vancouver Arts Club production of Les Miserables have reportedly skyrocketed.

It's all very weird to me. [Edited 4/16/09 17:18pm] This is exactly why the world finds her amazing and endearing IMO. She sings well. She's not "attractive". NEXT! I don't care how well you sing. Those eyebrows.  Yea, that'll be the first thing they do when they get her in the chair.    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

I don't think it's just the shock of seeing somebody whom looks like "a crazy cat lady" sing well; it's the fact that she can sing very well. | |

Everyone's just happy she actually did well so they can say "oh my god, don't judge a book by it's cover", but if she'd been bad, there'd be plenty of threads and discussion about how horrible she was and her looks would be attacked too. If anything, as the female judge said, she was a wake up call to society's cynicism. | |

True, I think we're jaded and she just turned it on its head. People are genuinely suprised, shaken out of their stupor and they like that imo. | |

If the Scots get behind her in the voting, and they probably will, she'll very likely win the whole damn thing!
