I really wish she wouldn’t go on Oprah. I detest that woman (Oprah).

[CheneyChick]

Beautiful voice. Thank you!

[blam]

You've got to watch this too.

[djf]

Has a very early-Ronstadt sound to it.

[Tired of Taxes]

I was teary-eyed watching her Britain’s Got Talent performance. Thanks for sharing this earlier recording. What a beautiful voice!

Linda Ronstadt

Well - cannot stand a minute of Ophra. So there will be one less viewer and I will not buy anything that is promoted by Ophra.

My daughter’s were just telling us they watched the video in school and had a talk about it. “Don’t judge a book by its cover, etc.”.

My wife wants me to watch the video with her later, so I’ll wait until then. But my one daughter said “Dad, you have to see Susan Boyle - it’s unbelievable, she sings SOOOOO pretty. The other daughter pipes up “She’s not very pretty, but boy can she sing!! She hits these high notes like Laaaaa!!!” ;)

I’ve watched that about 25 times. She is truly a special gift in these very dark times we are having. God bless her.

I love the Nelson Riddle collaborations she did.
True standards. And alot of those songs are not easy to sing by a long stretch.

[GnuHere]

Thanks! I just heard the Les Miz song tonight - she is incredible.

[Mike Darancette]

The voice singing that torch song congers up the vision of a completely different person. That said this was even better than what she sang in the contest.

[aruanan]

Bump for later listening.

[ssaftler]

The voice singing that torch song congers up the vision of a completely different person.

Sorta like listening to Linda Ronstadt sing, then being subjected to her moon-bat rantings between songs.

[Tired of Taxes]

Be sure to watch the whole video, beginning with the show setting her up to be laughed at. In this superficial world, this was a great real-life success story. I don’t watch TV often, and I never watch shows like American Idol. But, the video of Susan Boyle was worth watching.

[Mike Darancette]

Hippy Nookie!

[Mike Darancette]

I was thinking more of the slinky ladies of the 30’s and 40’s leaning on the piano smoking a cigarette.

[fightinJAG]

This is fantastic! Thank you.

Susan Boyle sings ‘Cry me a river’ almost as good as Julie London. London was big in the 50’s. Died in Oct.2000.
