Yes to all that, and I think she’d draw well on a few concert tours in Europe and the US, and some other nations.

I agree. My vote is also for Susan. I hope she chooses a great song for the next round. I think singing comes natural for her.

I also saw a video of Susan when she was 25 or 30. (The article and link are somewhere on FR -- I posted there.) She sounds better now than she did then. And the song she sang for a charity CD (made 10 years ago) also sounds really good.

I'm just amazed that Simon can get away with backpedalling on his original impression, only because he wants the young Shaheen to win. That seems unethical.

And if I were Susan, I would be offended at that.

I would hate to see this lovely woman hurt.

I would hate to see this lovely woman hurt.

I'm sure she would be sad not winning the contest, but win or lose, she's now known, and there will be folks who will be wanting to sign her for projects in the future. I hope her friends and family will protect her from the sharks.

I agree. Susan has a lovely voice. I hope she gets her shot.

That kid isn’t original though, Susan is.
