to make you smile

Crosspost from Dreamwidth:

So it's been a faily week. I don't know about anyone else, but I need a pick-me-up.

Full performance is here.

This should do it. From Britian's Got Talent, Ms Susan Boyle.

Watch. It. All.

Absolutely stunning. I figured she'd be a little voice and instead belted out a song beautifully. She made me cry.

It has completely cheered me up today.

That woman is now my hero. She was so confident in herself, that little smile she gave everyone before she began to sing, she knew what she was capable of and she wasn't daunted by their smug eye-rolls and comments. It was great to see the astonishment on the judges' faces. Honestly, I must have watched that like 20 times, and each time she just gets better and better. I hope she goes far.

So am I.

I'm sitting here, sniffing (and watching again). Thank you for linking.

Peeking out from lurkerdom to say thanks so much for posting this link... It's been a really faily couple of weeks and this was a real pick me up.

I spent half of it annoyed at the audience for cheering over her. SHUSH SHE'S SINGING! LET HER SING! But yes, it was lovely that the (fickle!) crowd immediately reversed themselves as soon as they heard her perform.

Thanks for the link; Susan was incredible and I hope she goes very far. I just loved how the audience stood within 30 seconds of her beginning the song. And, of course, everyone's shocked faces.

I read about this earlier on BBC, but didn't bother to go check it out on Youtube. It was just amazing, and when I gave my husband, who wouldn't normally be interested in something like this for a whole looooong list of reasons, the headphones to listen so he could hear a bit of it, I couldn't get them back; he listened to the whole thing and then just kept talking about it.

I was watching this at the time and I just sat there because Simon, Amanda and Piers were so disrespectful at first (and the audience) and I was just like 'is she going to be ridiculous as well? or just awesome?' and then she came out with this and I was stunned because she is so amazing and her voice - wow!

She was the only good thing to come out of glasgow this time, but good thing? Doesn't even begin to describe this woman.

Man, I love watching Simon Cowell's face when someone's really incredible. It's completely at odds with his reputation for being mean.

[aubergineautumn.livejournal.com]

She made me cry. I would buy her tapes.

I was expecting a make-over show *g*

[shaun84.livejournal.com]

I watched at work and got all choked up and had my coworkers asking me if I was alright as I dabbed my eyes with kleenex :-) Good times.

Thanks for linking to this.

I loved her performance but I got mad with the judges. When did we decide only "beautiful" people could have performing talent? Why did they assume she wouldn't be able to sing? If I had been her, I would have been very offended by some of their comments.

Thank you for showing this. I don't know how many times I've watched it but it makes smile and cry at the same time.
