OK, I never really got it, either. I mean, ...Hi! <br /><br />OK, I never really got it, either. I mean, she can carry a tune, and has a nice tone to her voice, good enough that she'd win any karaoke competition, anywhere. Huzzah!<br /><br />But she certainly wasn't Broadway-ready. She couldn't sing half as well as any of the people I know who can sing. <br /><br />Not only that, but she had no clue about the CONTEXT of the song. I mean, she's singing "I Dreamed a Dream", about a woman who is on death's door, prostituting herself just to keep her child alive, who has lost every shred of dignity and hope, and Susan Boyle is GRINNING. <br /><br />Sorry, not impressed. It was no Paul Potts moment, she did nothing that anyone with a half-decent untrained singing voice couldn't do. And if the big surprise is that she's 47 and doesn't style her hair or wear nice dresses, well, it's not her voice but our stupidity that should be getting the press, no?<br /><br />Anyhow, in total agreement with you -- I thought it was a snoozefest.carlyjayhttp://www.whatthebeans.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419426396801469265.post-5821990784027053832009-04-19T23:43:00.000-07:002009-04-19T23:43:00.000-07:00She has a face made for radio.

When they called her the "biggest surprise" it was because she's older, because she isn't "move-star attractive", because she doesn't LOOK like... what, a good singer? I understand that the audience is going to make snap judgements (but outright laughing at her? Please) but I think the judges were incredibly unprofessional. I really hope something wonderful happens for her out of this.Love In Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10784495944107722470noreply@blogger.com
