Additional News: Meryl Streep may play her in a film about her life.... She has been approached and says she's considering it.

she silenced skeptics as soon as she started to sing.

Like Jim Nabors.

That was a shock.

I remember watching the video of her on the “Britain’s Got Talent” show in 2009. I haven’t kept up with her, but she really was great.

What a great story! I didn’t find The Love Of My Life until I was 50, so it IS possible. :)

I would LOVE to see Meryl Streep tell this tale!

Recently rented a DVD from Netflix titled “The Christmas Candle.” Susan Boyle has a small role in it, and of course she sings. For anyone looking for a beautiful story of Christmas, love, faith, and hope, I highly recommend it. It is one of the finest movies I have seen in a very long time.

Good for her, delightful voice in a quirky but likeable person.

I was thrilled when I heard her voice, loved her duet with Elaine Paige, the singer she so admired. Then Paul Potts, and his fantastic voice. Now Jackie Evancho thrills crowds all over the world, has turned into a stunningly beautiful teenager.

But I have rediscovered the Carpenters, Karen's fantastic voice. I watch and listen to those old songs over and over that I missed because I was so frantically busy in those years. She could sing the D below middle C and span 3 octaves. She has some new fans from the younger generation and over and over I'm seeing they believe she had the best female voice ever.

I think that’s a might thing for her to have a boyfriend. She represents herself and the UK well. Best of God’s blessing to her.

Nice.... sometimes you don’t find someone until late in life. A doctor from Connecticut and they met in Clearwater, Florida.

Why is this even news and why is it anyone’s business?
