Comments on Susan Boyle from all over internet (Sweet and Funny)
(each paragraph is by different people from different websites. I picked ones I liked.)

Finally, after all the stories of corporate and banking crooks getting bailed out to save their supposed "success" someone finally succeeds in life who deserves to. There is a lesson for Wall Street here: winning is not about charades and manipulating perception, it's is about talent and results.

I gotta say my favorite thing was the raunchy pelvic thrust she did in response to the jeering. I high fived my monitor for that one...pretty hard. Anyone have a spare monitor?

Thomas Gray must have had Susan Boyle in mind when he wrote "Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathom'd caves of oceans bear: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. Susan is no longer being wasted unseen.

Susan Boyle is not telling the truth about never being kissed. We went to elementary school together and I kissed her on a dare when we were both ten. I guess maybe she forgot. I'd kiss her again if given the chance.

Susan Boyle has redefined talent and aspiration. Move over Beatles.

WOW! I was completely floored by her angelic voice. What a bright light to have in these uncertain times......maybe President Obama will invite her to the White House to sing?
Susan is fantastic and I'm going to go listen to her performance again--
Brava! Brava! Brava!

She sounded like 10 angels and she made it look effortless. I think she's absolutely beautiful. Seriously I don't know why people can be so shallow. She looks like 70% of humankind, just without the make up and hair dye like the rest of us. Most of it would have to spend 3 hours in front of the mirror to have the confidence Susan displayed. She can do it without all that.

OMGOSH, GOD CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND BLESSED US WITH THIS TRULY REMARKABLE WOMAN.....HER VOICE IS JUST INCREDIBLE... SHE WILL GO VERY FAR WITH HER CAREER,,,, IM READY TO BUY HER CD

I'll kiss her !!!

This woman has made MILLIONS of us take a step back and look at ourselves....the power of one to change millions.

I am sure that Queen Elizabeth will feel honored to be able to hear your sweet voice. We need more happy and hopeful stories like yours in this terribly sad world.

I once had a young man in 6th grade tell me..."Beauty isn't everything you know!" This woman is far more beautiful than some of the high paid models we have here in the U. S. Beauty does fade..her love of life and her kind spirit will live on for many more years...

In a time of sadness with stories of kidnappings, murders, and war, something as simple as a suprisingly beautiful and sweet voice brightened everyone's day. Susan Boyle's story was a bright spot in the week. Thank you Susan!

What a wakeup call for the music industry!
Without dancers behind her, without the light show, without the skintight costumes, without grabbing her crotch, without the sexy "look", this frumpy lady has wowed the world with just her beautiful voice.

You are truly an inspiration to all....you let people sit there and judge you and in the end you had the last laugh.

Im a rough, tough ,beer drinking 38 year old Navy Vet and I like my music loud. But when I heard this,, I got goose bumps and had to wipe tears from my eyes!!!!

I love her, I love her voice. I am so thrilled she got this chance and yes Simon Cowell, we want an album now! Its also wonderful to see a real talent, not a shimmy my thing and I got a face from my surgeon--a REAL WOMAN with REAL talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She transforms into a true beauty with a spirited soul talking to us thru the physical experience. I just hope no one tries to change her look as it is so authentic, a rarity in the Barbie Doll" age.

I think it (her hair) looks more like a Beethoven hairstyle. Maybe they're related.

I'm hooked on her "cry me a river" track. I read someone comparing her voice to velvet chocolate, and I totally agree. Her phrasing is good, her voice a breathy mix of Marilyn Monroe purr and the knife edge of a wronged woman watching a heartless lover suffer, with a taste of longing and sadness to round out this bluesy, jazzy and altogether wonderful rendition.

The girl has pipes. I can hardly wait to get her CD.

Keep away from her hair. Her hair is just fine. Susan says she's happy with how she looks. I like her hair. She washes it and that's all that's necessary for hygiene for heavens sake.

FIERCE!!!

Can someone please introduce her to a pair of tweezers!

Nahh... Let her be herself. Nobody can say she is not authentic.

The British press is brutal. I hope they do not drive this woman crazy. Perhaps the Queen would let her move in for a while-I understand she has plenty of room.

Scotland gives the world Susan Boyle! The US gives the world GOP (Red Shirts err Red States) tea baggers!

Today we are all Susan Boyle!

Just when you think this world has gone to the dogs something happens that gives you hope and joy.

I have been unemployed since last december. It is a tough job market out there and over 70 job applications have produced zero results. Susan Boyles singing brought a smile that still has not faded. Carry on Susan

She is the epitome of grace and humility and as was once said, "a fool shall make the wise themselves become foolish." Watching jaws drop and eyes well-up followed by standing ovations is pure proof that God works in mysterious ways to humble proud and foolish people who only judge by this world's standards of "normal" and " beautiful." If ever anyone could truly experience the heart and soul of another human being, the world just did and has had a wake up call. Brava, Diva!

How about that girl in the audience? She'll be immortalized by her classic, snotty, teenager eye roll.

Oh my gosh I near fell off of my chair when she sang the first note. Unbelievable just unbelievable.

When I saw the clip on YouTube, there were sirens screaming in the streets below my office, it was pouring rain, and everyone around me seemed to be complaining about something. Susan's voice cleared away all of it. People stopped what they were doing and asked me to replay the video.

I'm an old, hardened cynic. But I've watched Susan Boyle sing on YouTube six times now and cried tears of joy each time. May she become an inspiration to people everywhere.

Susan, you have a world class voice, and it is ironic that you sang for us all on Easter weekend. Whether or not you're religious (and btw, I'm not), Isn't the lesson of Easter humility, and that we must see beyond mere appearances, to the soul? Everyone laughed and jeered when you stood up to sing, because they hadn't yet learned the lesson -- but then you sang out like an angel. I hope that no one forgets this "Easter lesson" for a long, long time.

Your star is shining brightly and hopefully you will enrich many lives to come with your superior voice.

Wake up, world, this is something to revere. A message for Simon...it's not my words...it's simply
the golden rule...do under other as you would have them do unto you. Simon showed me, after Susan's performance, that there's beauty in the most surprizing places...I've never been a fan of Simon, but if Susan can bring a smile to the face of a disgustingly snide person, it's kind of like a miracle, isn't it?

Celebrities are the most over rated people in the world. Let Susan be Susan. Just let her sing and we, the world, will stop, listen, and smile.

From your fellow Scot - Way tae go lass, so proud of ye hen. Ah wis sae excited tae play yer wee video clip tae so many of ma american and canadian friends o'er here yesterday. They all loved it.

This lady shows exactly what's wrong with show business. They never gave her a chance because she's not skinny and young like Posh. She has more talent than all the pop stars put together. What the record biz doesn't realize is that the people who WOULD buy CDs and don't, we're all over 50 and we will run to buy hers. Give us the chance to make the old girl the biggest star ever.

She'll get a lot more than kisses. She open the door for other talented people who are ignored because of their age and looks. She's beautiful to me.

ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE ! Susan Boyle's voice is ear candy.

She really does look like a Hobbit. And I (seriously!) am saying this with no sarcasm or malicious intent whatsoever. Peter Jackson, where are you?

It's such a relief to look at after all the blonded, figure enhanced, botox enhanced, collagen enhanced clones we see in the millions.

And don't you love her rosy cheeks!
