    Wow! What a wonderful surprise. She sure has an excellent voice and I hope that she'll be able to live her dream now.

    A perfect reason to not judge a book by it's cover. I love stories like this. She proved that we don't have to look gorgeous and be young to be able to sing.
    I do feel bad that they made it so obvious that everyone was against her. That had to hurt her feelings. I hope the compliments stop making her wonder why she was so undesirable at the start.

    Thanks for sharing that. It really made my night.

    GO SUSAN!!!


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    I thought the same thing. I was amazed by her voice, and was glad she was getting the recognition. However, I can't really see why everyone was so against her, if in fact they were, and why anyone would find her so undesirable. I agree they certainly made it seem that way. I just didn't feel that way.

    Unfortunately, too many people judge a book by it's cover. In the entertainment world, more emphasis seems to be placed on looks, rather than talent.

    Holy!

    Astounding.

    A million times over I would rather see something nice like this happen to a real, genuine person like Susan Boyle.

    I hope her fifteen minutes of fame lasts a LOT longer.

    Both of those songs brought tears to my eyes. What a great story.
    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    I saw Pebbles! I saw Pebbles! Just a brief glimpse, but he looked gorgeous!
    Susan took the most votes from her semi-final tonight and is through to next Saturday's final.

    Oprah did a segment about Susan a couple of weeks ago, and there was a brief shot of Pebbles. What a gorgeous cat - with wonderful green eyes.

    Yes, it was only the briefest shot. It may well have come from the Oprah program.
