Have been listening to Susan Boyle this afternoon whilst I cooked a roast dinner and more, feeling so serene and happy. xxx

Hi Jackie

Think you summed it up in one, so eloquently ... such a surprise, fabulous. Totally agree, so admire her courage ... not sure, as much as I adore acting and more, that I could stand in front of Simon Cowell, the other judges and such a huge audience so truly relaxed. xxx

Oh Marion

She wanted to make her mum proud and you what, she did, didn't she. o)) xxx

Thank you Claire, another young man with talent, a wonderful voice. For me, I so adore the voice of Katherine Jenkins, Placido Domingo I cannot stop listening to her, think I am becoming addicted to the voice of Susan Boyle, tis making me shiver and tingle yet again as I sit here listening to.

Am going to have her on as I move around, doing things too.

>> Hi everyone, am just back from my walk, tis like a hot Summers day, lovely to hear the sounds of happy children playing and laughing.

Oh Claire, thank you my friend, I shall go listen. xxx

Hasn't she just got the most glorious voice Jean, think everyone who listens to her has tears in their eyes. Yes, to quote you, 'May she go on to bigger and better things in life.' she so so deserves to. xxx

Isn't it a brilliant show Mau. I have a music thread, so many songs on there from it, from others too, + different types of music.

Tis where I have made so many new friends, all with a passion for musicals, opera, music of different genres.

I shall put Susan Boyle on there when I return, she truly deserves to be there. o)))

Back later or I shall never go ... the sun is shining here, tis shining for this lovely lady too. Hope it is for all of you too. xxx

My pleasure Ann, truly it is ... how wonderful that she is providing so much pleasure for so many, I felt truly humbled and priviledged when she shared her voice on the show. xxx

Thanks for that, what a wonderful voice. I was annoyed with myself because I'd had the TV on and was reading the paper and half listening to BGT, but what i had seen was mostly rubbish so i turned the TV off. She would have been the next act and I missed her!! So thank you for giving me the opportunity to watch it, I hope she goes right through now, What a lovely voice.

I think I read in the paper that she used to sing in a choir and she lived with her mother. After her Mother died she lost the heart to sing and this was the first time she had sung again.

Just watched the Ytube clip Shimms , and she is great. I love "Les Mis." fantastic show!

it was worth the watch just to see the smug looks of the judges and the audience change to joy (i hate to see folk made a mockery of) and this is one of the reasons I don't tune in to this type of show.

Hi Mau

I believe everyone is good at something, has a gift, sometimes just a smile yet what a smile ... that Inner beauty will shine through, we just have to look for it. :))

Thank you and Marion too for telling me about Paul Potts, just off to get ready for a walk ... can't get rid of her voice in my head, tis beautiful ... xxx

I shall look when I return Marion, thank you. Speak later, we must cut our grass at the back too. :) xxx

How sad, never kissed nor on a date, her voice never really heard until now.

Well ... I am standing up Susan and I am so applauding you, for:

1. Being brave, how many could stand in front of those judges and such a huge audience.

2. For being the lovely lady you are, hoping and praying that you will find someone who will treasure you for the beautiful person that you are.

2. For sharing your voice with us.

Thank you Marion for sharing this with us, God bless her.

I hadn't seen the programme but was told about her beautiful voice. Paul Potts gave everyone the same reaction when he started to sing "Nessun Dorma"

As said 'never judge a book by it's cover'
