This lady is a much better singer than Mrs. Susan Boyle


I saw the video , and yes , she has a good voice ... the problem is , so do thousands of people around the world .

There is a reason she was not snatched up earlier.

what I mean , is that I would never take a CD of her's to a desert island.

2. "Mrs. Susan Boyle"?
I don't believe she's married.

Anyhow comparing the 2 is somewhat strange--it's like comparing Ella to Maria Callas, imho. Or did Nilsson sing songs like "Cry Me a River"? Not that I'm aware of.

3. You seem to be missing the point of Susan's popularity and fame -
she was a 48 year old underdog and she won. Isn't this what we DUers are supposed to be famous for - Chanpions of the Underdog - and Yes she has tremendous talent, too.

6. A handful of people always seem to want to throw shit....
on anything positive that comes around. They can't simply disagree, but have to go out of their way to throw monkey feces. I don't know why that would be, but whatever motivates them can not be very pleasant.

7. What's Wrong With Susan Boyle Selling a Few Records?
She stepped forward and took the risk of falling flat on her face, and she succeeded.

Why shouldn't people who like her voice buy a record?

15. Do be careful when it rains dear OP,
The rain may lead to you drowning as it falls in your nose.
