Everyone sniggered at Susan when she walked onto the stage to perform in "Britains Got Talent". I felt for her right away. What right had people to judge on appearance? I have always made it a point not to.
This lady has a bright and warm personality, she is cheeky and funny. She also has a God given talent that she has never been truly able to use.
Now she has become famous the world over, a bit hit in the U.S.A. Well deserved. She has proved that you do not have to look like a supermodel, you do not have to be an Adonis, you do not have to be young. She is an inspiration to everyone, especially those that have a low opinion of themselves. She proves that we all have something to offer.
I admit her voice reduced me to tears. Just in case anyone out there missed her performance, I ask you to follow this link and be enthralled.

Susan, I do hope that you win, but if you do not, you have already achieved stardom and I am sure you will go on to bigger things. Your late Mother would have been so proud. Go Girl!
She is an inspiration for sure. I do hope now that she will use that beautiful voice and keep on singing for the public. We have heard and seen alot about her here. I think that if you have a gift, you should use it. Not all of us are blessed with beautiful voices but we all have something to share with others. 'On Ya'-ma
ReplyDeleteI get chills when I hear her sing. What a beautiful voice. The audience was shameful. People are rude these days but she showed class and style. And she is truly beautiful when she sings, her eyes glow.
ReplyDeleteSHE IS A HUGE HIT OVER HERE TOO!
ReplyDeleteLOVE YOUR JAPANESE GARDEN HEADER BY THE WAY!
Good luck to Susan, it must have taken a lot of courage to go out and perform with the audience sniggering from the start. I hope those in the audience that the camera picked out were ashamed of themselves when they saw it back on TV. Love B x
ReplyDeleteI get goosebumps every time I play her video, Jeannette. I hope she has many years of success. What a beautiful woman. Good luck to her! Hugs, Val xox
ReplyDeleteI cry everytime I watch....amazing voice....love her...not only did she walk out with her head held high...she is continuing to do so...they should stop name calling tho,she deserves more kindness. I'm glad she's able to handle the press....
ReplyDeleteI think Susan's appearance on TV reminded us not to judge a book by its cover.
ReplyDeleteSusan touched everyone who heard her sing here in the USA for sure. Such an inspiration for all women. Let's hope she wins, she's got such a wonderful singing voice. If I could vote for her I would.
ReplyDeleteshe is fabulous and no doubt is enjoying every minute. Even here on Idol the winners (most of them) disappear .. it's those that did not win that prosper most. Sending her good vibes of course ::grin::
ReplyDeleteShe is truly a beautiful woman~perhaps not beautiful in the way the world judges beauty but in God's way. She's sweet, humble and is, like you said, going to use her God given talent to the best of her ability. We've heard all about her over here. She was even interviewed on our 'Good Morning America' daily show via satellite. It's been said that Oprah offered to pay for Susan to have a complete makeover & Susan turned her down ~BRAVO Susan !! Oprah falls right into the same category as a lot of people-SHALLOW!! Another lovely day here in western Washington, it's supposed to be up in the mid 70's. Linda
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanette, I so agree with all you have said. I think she was great although I didn;t see her on the show originally I have heard her many times since...
ReplyDeleteShe is wonderful. I just hope that she never changes.
Love Sybil xx
So talented ,I dont think we have seen the last of this 'Wee Lassie' ..love Jan xx
ReplyDeleteI have watched her a couple of times. She has a beautiful voice. I loved her. Hugs, Helen
ReplyDeleteJeanette, I had given her an honorable mention in my blog. I liked what the judge said when it was mentioned everyone was laughing at you, but they are not laughing now...I hope everyone felt a bit ashamed for so easily dismissing someone. She was busy these years taking care of her mother, and now its her turn. I hope she wins too, but she already has won our hearts! Bless her!
ReplyDeleteHi Jeannette, Hope you are all fine over there. Susan made the news in Italy as well! They wrote she had a voice that can melt stones...She's divine. Only hope nobody will take advantage of her talent. Hugs. Ciao. Antonella
ReplyDeleteI think she's wonderful and I'm so glad someone who looks "normal" is making such a big impacty normal I mean like the rest of us. Not a supermodel. It's about time.
ReplyDeleteWhen Mikey went down for the first auditions for BGT this time we noticed a lot of individuals were dressed very casually...Unless we had been through it before we wouldn't have known that if you got through to be in front of the judges that a)you MUST wear EXACT same outfit and have hair EXACT same etc as first audition and b) you must do same performance...Mentioned this to a few people when they were chatting and they were horrified as they would have got dressed up a bit and done hair and make up etc.
ReplyDeleteMost of it is a sort of fix anyways as it is with X factor as they deliberately pick bad acts to be in front of the judges.
I loved her when i saw the video a few days ago. she moved me to tears. so happy she did this. a great lesson to all of us not to judge a book by its cover. God Bless her many more times over. thanks for posting this! hugz to you~kbear
ReplyDeleteSusan's voice is amazing! Pat sat there and listened to her with his mouth open. So heartfelt.
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch the programme when it was scheduled but have watched on UTube since. I hope she makes it to the top, with that wonderful voice she cannot fail. Eileen x
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way when I first heard her. She has an amazing talent!
ReplyDeleteShe's wonderful! I love her!
ReplyDeleteI too fell in love with her and think she is fantastic!! I was so annoyed with the people in the audience looking and snickering at her, well she showed them didn't she!!
ReplyDeleteIs this your pond in your header??? Awesome!
Jeanette, you have so many comments here that if mine gets lost in the mob, it's okay. I was just as stunned as everyone else when she sang. When she first came out I thought it was going to be a comedy act. What a surprise. I hope and I'm sure that, as you say, she will be an inspiration to so many other people. DB
ReplyDeleteSo do you think Susan and Paul Potts would make a good singing duo? I also looked up that Elaine she mentioned and her voice is unreal.
ReplyDeleteI have found myself enjoying your show as it seems like anyone can have a chance at winning.
Love and blessings,
ALBERTA Lori
Hi Jeanette... I have so much catching up to do in everyone's journals so please forgive me for being late getting here. What a lovely entry this was. I get a devotional email each day and lastnight the devotional was about following our God given dreams and all about Susan Boyle. It directed us to see her you tube video and I had a chance to see it lastnight before I got here to your entry so I am delighted to say I saw it and I was absolutely tickled with this video! Wow can she sing! I did feel bad for the snickering... I loved her!! She sure is famous all ready and I feel like God was with her on that stage! What a beautiful lady she is.
