I have played in the pit for a high school version of that musical/opera. It is some of the most challenging work I have ever done. That was performed very well.

Wow, amazing. I too, hope we hear more from her.
What struck me as odd was that I read all the comments here before I listened to it, so I knew it was going to be good. I was watching the audience's reaction to her intro and it pissed me off. The judges too...how could they all be so judgemental? Then it occurred to me that I'd probably have thought the same thing had I not already knew she was going to be good. Realizing that makes me feel a bit ashamed for a reaction that I didn't have but one that I probably would have in a different situation. I certainly hope that the people there live learned something. I know I did.

Wow! What a wonderful voice she has! I really hope she is able to go far in the competition. I loved her attitude! She seems to know who she is and what she's capable of with her voice. Her reaction to the crowd's cheers was so sweet and genuine.
I was in the audience of a concert a few years ago where a similar situation occurred. Matt Andersen, a Canadian blues singer-songwriter, was the opening act for the band I went to see. He's 6'2" and about 400 lbs, with longish curly hair. There was audible snickering in the audience as he walked onstage with his guitar. As soon as he began singing, it was apparent to all that we were hearing something very special. By the end of the first song, he had blown the collective socks off the audience. It was amazing.
I hope Susan Boyle has the opportunity to continue wowing audiences with her beautiful voice.Health is the thing that makes you feel like now is the best time of the year--Franklin Pierce Adams

Thank you so much for posting this link
I live in the UK and go of of my way to avoid these programs. The people are so cruel to the participants. So to see that, to see her wipe the smirks off their faces was - priceless.
Thank you again.
I still won't be watching, but will no doubt read in the news who wins.. I hope it's Susan Boyle
