BGT 2009 - Susan Boyle

YouTube - susan boyle singer Britains got talent 2009 show 1

This woman reminds me so much of Paul Potts when he auditioned for Britain's Got Talent. So unassuming...someone no one would have ever expected to show such great talent.

Susan Boyle is my projected winner.

And the biggest competition will be this group:

YouTube - Flawless - Dance Act - Britains Got Talent 2009

I hate when I get suckered into shows that I know are going for heartstrings, but I loved this! Is it just me or does the British audience seem to be so much more a part of the show than any of the American competitions? I've seen them dish out some pretty harsh initial judgments, but when someone rocks it, the audience seems to pour out a ton of love. It's like you know if someone is going to make it based on their reaction alone.

Simon's face while she was singing was the best. The one where his chin is in his hands and he breaks out into a smile. You cracked him Girl!

it makes me wish we got those shows here, the british versions. cause while the audience can be harsh, they can also be awesome.

and i loved when simon smiled like that.

Saw the video a couple of days ago. A sweet surprise.

Okay, so how are you calling American Idol? Can I just say that while I believe Adam Lambert is a vocal genius, I feel a little nauseated after he sings. Too dark!!

Tonight's Rocky Horror Picture reference cracked me up, cause I said the exact same thing to my husband right before Simon's comment.

I could listen to the threesome Goki, Chris and the blues guy all night long.

This is soooo you!

It reminds me of when you would come over and we would watch Miss America together, eat junk food, and make fun of all of their big noses and skinny butts.

Good days.

Actually, BGT reminds me of Utah audiences--just a little too quick to give a standing ovation, as if it will hurt the performers' feelings if they don't.

But if I had been there, I would have been standing and cheering for her as well.
