    Anyone seen this lady?

    Susan Boyle
    Fantine's "I Dreamed a Dream" ~ Les Miserables
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

    That has got to be one of the best performances that I have seen on one of these "talent" shows in a long time.

    I saw her last night on the news. If you can ignore the fact that she looks like Mrs. Doubtfire (after being punched in the face), the old girl's got skills.

    Indeed.

    I wonder if she wears glasses? It seems like they wouldn't be too out of place on her face.

    Simon's reactions during her performance were pretty funny, looked like the guy was falling in love... Or he just found someone that is going to make him a lot of money, guess those 2 expressions can go hand in hand.

    Her expression at the end seemed so genuine, made me like her so much more.

    Her selection of song made me wonder though. Kind of like a stick it to all the haters type of selection.

    I'm rooting for the Indian strongman.

    That's the most retard(ly awesome) thing I've ever seen, but will probably come up stale against the other competitors.

    The fact everyone was against her really did make it better. When I watched it on Saturday, I admit I wasn't expecting much after the "and that is just one side of me." comment.

    The fat stripper can die...

    The Greek dad and son were awesome, I dont know what the fuck they were doing but it was funny.

    Yeah, old Suse really did give everyone a shock, more so than Paul Potts in fact.

    Ever see that dude that does the Riverdance stuff? I believe it was suppose to be a parody of Michael Flatley's performance... Whatever it was, I rolled pretty hard

    I can see her winning this, everyone loves a story, or a fairytale.

    Quiet unassuming (ugly) lady with a hidden talent, enters a talent show and wins over the cynical image obsessed public to win and become a star! A true inspiration to every aesthetically challenged girl singing into her hair brush! Hollywood will be buying the rights!

    >_>

    Naturally I am not cynical about this at all, the video made me smile, good on her.

    He doesn't have a sob story so probably won't win.

    I didn't think he could sing all that spectacularly actually, he was alright but not jaw droppingly good.

    This group however, were just brilliant,

    WOOOOOOOOOOOO! GO ESSEX!
