"Biggest surprise in three years..."

[KiaKat]

Susan Boyle auditioned for Britain's Got Talent.

The story detailing her experience onstage is here.

Be sure you watch the video. Remarkable.

I second the motion to go and watch this. She is AMAZING ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I saw this, sent to my bf....we were both impressed by her.

Just saw a blip in the news about her when I was at the gym....not sure what they said, but it was cool to know she made US news,

[Reyneth]

I was just coming to see if someone's posted it here yet.

Perfect selection of song. And perfect lesson to take away from this.
To echo the song - her life WILL change now.

I just like the look on Simon's face at the start, basically saying "If I say anything bad about her, I'm gonna get lynched!" And then watch it change to total fascination.

She is incredible. Proof that real beauty isn't a case of the body.

Simon was in love with her voice - you could see it in his face.

Wow, I was expecting another William Hung but she s a phenomenal singer.

I was also coming to see if anyone had posted this. I'm going to be watching for her CDs. Because if she doesn't get a recording contract, every recording company in the world must have burned to the ground.

What an inspiration.

[PepperElf]

holy crap

[Severen13]

That is how you do AWESOME, boys and girls.

[Ree]

She is an inspiration, and proof positive about judging based solely on looks.

I have watched her performance about 10 times, and every time, I am almost in tears over her beautiful voice. I don't think she could have chosen a more appropriate song, really.

What galls me, though, are the number of references to her "virginity" in descriptions of her on websites that I have visited. Who really gives a crap about that? She has an amazing voice. That's really all that matters.

[Kiwi]

you know what simon was thinking

"you are my next gold mine my dear, why couldn't I have found you 20 years ago"

[IT Grunt]

She has a heart of gold and a voice to match, and she totally pwned both the judges and the audience. The clip I watched showed some of the audience reactions when she said she wanted to be a professional singer, including a few smirks and rolling of eyes, and even the judges had a look on their faces of 'Yeah, right'. Then when she opened up with that voice, and showed them that you simply can not judge a book by its cover, that was pure pwnage.

I know someone who knows this lady. Apparently she has a real temper on her.

[CaroPhoenix]

Every time I see/hear her sing, I literally get chills up and down my spine. She has the most beautiful singing voice I've ever heard. I'm hoping she'll win the contest!

[draggar]

That video is chopped up - anyone have an unchopped version?

Edit:

Mostly unchopped including intro:

She's got a great attitude and the confidence to go with it.

Not to sound to internet geeky -

Susan has done the biggest PWNAGE ever.
