There's a little bit of a sequal here.

The Daily Record have, for once, indulged in some good journalism (I expect the four horsemen to come riding down the drive at any moment  ;)) and managed to find a copy of the only CD that Ms Boyle has ever cut.  It was for charity back in 1999 and she sung the blues staple "Cry Me A River", a very, very different song to the Les Mis one she sung on the telly-box.

If anything this version is even better.

You can find it below.

To be able to flip between styles like that is, I think, the mark of real talent.  I just can't wait to see what she comes up with next :).

It's kind of interesting wondering what is going to happen next for this lady. I read in todays paper that the Americans have got to hear of Miss Boyle and she is getting a lot of TV coverage over there. Let's hope only good things come of all this for her, thanks Alex.

I love her"cry me a river" version, I can see her getting her own chat show as she has a unique charactor that would go down well interviewing people. Wounder what this weeks Britains got talent has in store, I also loved the Greek dancers,they were so funny, hated the stripper, I found her a bit distasteful, nothing to do with her size just the whole thing and I am definitely NOT a prude.

It looks like Susan Boyle is going for world domination now, quite amazing. I read the next song we will see her perform is "Whistle down the wind" by Andrew Lloyd Webber. With the amount of support she has enjoed in 2 weeks there really can't be any way possible that she can't win the competition. My friend in Canada says even over there she is on every radio/tv show and front page of most newspapers - every day.

I heard an interview on a morning programme last week, and she sounds absolutely lovely!  Very unspoiled, very natural.  She came across to me on the TV programme as  a wee bit simple, but she most definitely isn't.  She is just a really nice, well brought up lady with a beautiful voice.  I did say in my previous post that they would probably do a make over on her so it will be interesting to watch her progress.  May she do well.

Annie I think they say that her parents were very strict with her and she was never allowed friends or allowed out socialincing. I think she may just be very, very innocent and led a very sheltered life. I just hope no one takes advantage of her and rips her off.

Here's the latest 10 yr old recording they have found of her, now ofcourse on You Tube.

Her voice is so much better now, but even that was outstanding.  I am really looking forward to hearing her again

Time to resurrect this one having just watched the Semi Final of Britains got Talent. After a shaky start Susan pulled off yet another spectacular act. I think the pressure she must have been under was unbelievable. One of the Judges hit the nail on the head when they said "the eyes of the world" were on her tonight. Indeed they were.

I think she is brilliant. I do cringe when she starts her nonsense though but I'm sure this is just nerves. I do not think there is any chance of her NOT winning this competition and I am delighted that she is Scottish (until she is a mega star and then she will of course be British ha ha).


Tonight's performance is already on You Tube.

Rock on Susan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

James, looking at her face when Diversity were announced as the winners I think she was much relieved.  She had been extremely serious prior to that almost to the point of being sullen, then her face broke into a lovely smile.  I think she has been very hard done by, the Press have been awful to her. I would have liked to see her win too, but I wonder if the pressure would have been too great fro her.  One psychologist said that he would have withdrawn her from the competition last week if he had been her doctor because of possible mental scarring.  I will look forward greatly to buying her first album - I wonder what label she will be on?

Annie looked to me as though she was heavily sedated. My heart goes out to her. If the papers are to be believed last week they said next month she was going off to record an album - music of the musicals, all arranged by Simon Cowall. I do not think this is the last we have heard of her and I too look forward to buying many of her CD's. The show has to have been a fix ha ha.
