She was on America's Got Talent tonight and sang "Wild Horses". My first thought was "Whaaa??" but she was awesome. Mick and Keith should be proud.

I had been waiting days for AGT, I knew she was going to be on there since last Friday. (She arrived in the USA Saturday) I was really disappointed that they brought her all the way to the USA and then didn't let her sing the full version of Wild Horses but what she sang was awesome!

The "guests" parts in the show were pre-recorded so while they appeared to be live, they were not (learn something new every day!). Some of her fans from a Susan Boyle web sight went and one posted about it as soon as they got home. It took 3 takes so they got to hear her sing it 3 times LIVE! They said she sang it perfect every time but the cameras messed up or the lighting was wrong so they had to redo it.

At the taping, she sang right after Cirque du Soleil and right after Cirque sang, they started setting up for Susan and Piers and David left, she thinks Piers went to cheer Susan on. They said she was very aware she had a fan club there and after the taping, she came to meet them and was just so sweet to all of them.

Here she is singing Wild horses with a orchestra as seen on AGT last night.

From day 1, I have wanted to hear her with a orchestra instead of with pre-recorded music. I was not dissapointed in how it sounded, just that she didn't sing the full version. She sure can belt out those notes!

I'm bumping up this old thread because our pastor used Susan Boyle's performance of "I Dreamed a Dream" on Britain's Got Talent as an illustration in his Easter sermon. (and of course I thought of PT) She had no idea how much her life would change after that. Simon Cowell did not expect her to sing the way she did -- surprise! The disciples of Jesus had no idea how much their lives would change as they followed Him. The people around Jesus during Holy Week had different expectations of Him, just as Simon Cowell did with Susan Boyle. At the very end of the sermon, the clip was played of her appearance on the show. I love the reactions of Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and the lady judge whose name I don't know -- no matter how often I see it, I always smile. And I know she went on to great success from there.

So here you go. The clip shown in church was edited way down for time, but you get the idea.

That was a great way to present her story and to use it to teach. What a beautiful idea!!

She has several CDs out already. Check Amazon.com for them. I bet when she sings, angels stop to listen.

I have her "I Dreamed a Dream" CD and I play it frequently. I think she and Josh Groban should collaborate and put one out together - talk about awesome.

I have several Groban CD's also which I play a lot. I'm sure the rest of the family is sick of hearing them tho.
