Susan Boyle does have a compelling backstory…but while I think she is good, I don’t find her as amazing as so many others do.

From what I’ve seen on BGT, my favourites are Shaun Smith and Julian Smith.
I much prefer Shaun over Susan as he has the kind of voice I can imagine myself listening to regularly if he were to put out an album.
And the Sax man is just awesome.

It will be interesting to see what Gregg sings in his semi final as Nessun Dorma is such a huge and popular aria so it has a big impact.

I know a lot of people find Gregg weird to listen to .. and I must admit that I don’t think I could listen to a lot of him or a whole record but he is interesting and entertaining .. and I liked him on the show in a kind of weird way … plus he seems a really nice guy, very humble and very charismatic.

I noticed after last night’s show on the follow up programme and also on tonight’s aftershow a lot of people were saying that they don’t think Susan Boyle will win .. I think all the hype has harmed her and she’s found it very hard to live up to her initial audition … to me there are more talented acts on the show and I don’t think that it’s a foregone conclusion that she’ll win anymore.

Has any one seen Gregg Pritchard – Nessun Dorma – Britains Got Talent 2009. He does not look like Adam Lambert. But the way he dressed, he did reminded me of Adam Lambert. I liked Susan Boyle’s but I don’t think she’s good enough to be the winner. I saw the Youtube last night. I do believe that she was nervous even though she didn’t admitted. Take a look at Gregg Pritchard. It’s kind of funny too. Anyone who can make Simon said funny remarks. It’s worth a look.

Unless there are cat-lady-a-phobes that will cost her the win. Or maybe we could blame Danny Gokey?

ROFL!! :lol_tb:

Or we can blame former President Bush.

I watcher the original audition on YuTube yesterday. She sings as well as my daughter’s music teacher. I would hesitate to call her a sensation. Had she been average-lloking presentable, she would not have made it.

“Also, if she goes on a show, she knows she will be judged. Good for her for having the guts to go for it. IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m not going to give her an A for effort. I donÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t roll that way. Sorry.”

Right on, pj. I’m getting sick of Susan Boyle. Yay for having the courage to go on the show, blah blah blah, but she just doesn’t blow me away in the least. I think she might be good in musicals however, with some training. I had trouble watching the whole video, but there were some interesting bits at the end showing what a true amateur she is when it comes to public image. If she’s having fun, yay for her, but the lights and the fog and the crying from the female judge? It just wasn’t that good.

She is getting pretty darn full of herself. Her whole “What pressure? I was really good!” Yeah, it’s nice to be self confident, but on TV that translates into cockiness sometimes. At least she has an adorable cat who doesn’t care about her expanding head.

And BootStar, I don’t know what the hell that was that she did at the end either, but it sure was awkward wasn’t it?! The judges were like “Oh dear, make it stop….!”

Errr… :unsure_tb: I don’t know. It seems like everyone loves her. I mean, I get the hype, but watching alot of the other auditions on Youtube, I think there are alot of other people who deserve to win. IMO, Susan has gotten the media attention and publicity she needs. There’s no doubt she’ll get tons of offers pouring in regardless of her winning.

But, seriously. What about that twelve year old boy who sang that Jackson 5 song? Or that dance group, Diversity?

I’m not trying to be mean but why don’t the British invest in tooth brushes? I swear so many of them have the worst teeth ever.

I like her, like her backstory, and enjoy hearing her sing. This wasn’t her best performance but it was pretty good. Actually the high part and last part were excellent, though the beginning was rough. I think there’s a propensity to scorn anyone who has a moving story but I don’t think she deserves scorn. Her story is moving and so is she. I’m all for her. Go Susan!

Not as good as the first performance for me, but you can’t deny the power of her story in these times when folks are looking for a story of the little guy getting a break.

Hair and eyebrow makeover–Super!

Check out this dance troupeÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Semi Final performance, theyÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re called Diversity and theyÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re fantastic.

Sorry. Have you ever watched Randy Jackson presents AmericaÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Best Dance Crew on MTV? JabbaWackeeZ, Kaba Modern, and Quest Crew (among others) dance rings around this group.

There’s not comparison. And the teams on ABDC are amateurs too. (I love that show and am constantly amazed by the talent and creativity. That’s what I’ll be watching next year. Sorry AI, but bye-bye!!)

I feel bad for Susan. It would be hard to find someone who was less prepared to deal with all the hype and strees after the audition and subsequent buildup. I wasn’t blown away by the first performance, there are so many more talented mezzo-sopranos around. But it was a great story and I was rooting for her.

Terrible song choice. Mediocre performance. Maybe she’ll have a better performance next time.

Haven’t read the other comments yet, but, just for the record, I was really impressed with her original “debut” performance, because I thought, for an amateur, she WAS really good.

But this? This was like a very good community theater performance by the local church lady. Poor thing, she’s already believing her own press.

And WTF did she do there at the end? Was she doing some kind of impersonation of Asians? Yikes!
