The Political Boyle
Scotland’s First Minister, Alex Salmond, sent a message of support following the public vote. He said: “I congratulate Susan on another outstanding performance. She has, once again, impressed the judges and the public with her incredible voice and display of genuine talent.
“Scotland will be behind her and I’m sure she’s got what it takes to be a winner in next week’s final.” - Mirror
Why do they stare?
Her hair was darker (though still pleasantly wild), her eyebrows still brooding and her dress a little more expensive. Her voice, though, faltered under the lights of a billion eyeballs.
The first notes of “Memory” from the musical “Cats” weren’t ones that Andrew Lloyd Webber had put there.
But a stoicism built from the bricks of a thousand days of damp, dark Scottish existence and a life experience of being bullied, teased and tormented for her supposed disabilities, was her lifeboat.
She clutched her stomach twice, almost as if her diaphragm was a malfunctioning bagpipe bag.
She gave it a couple of squeezes and any twitchy bats that might have happened to have taken temporary residence in the bag fluttered away, leaving her voice to regain its strength - CNET
Susan Jackson
She returned to popular Broadway standards for her return as well, singing “Memory” from “Cats.” Seeing her amid the gaggle of other performers, a middling dance troupe called Diversity, a one note gag called Darth Jackson (who, yes, sings Michael Jackson songs in a Darth Vader costume), or assorted cute kid singers, she looks like The Beatles by comparison. But maybe that’s just because the whole world knows her by now - Hartford Courant

Thank you, Percy, for that I’ll raise a glass of wine to you! Quite late over there, I note, so a final one, but you may or may not know of the Singer singing it - Nana Mouskouri. My very best second favourite.

Everyone except me, I’ve just been reliably informed

I’d like to see her singing ‘Voodo Chile’. That would be a good test of her range. Anyone can sing a balad
May 25th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Percy, from me to you: Enjoy her singing again!

Cheryl….BO is The Big O himself…Barak Obama…I am surprised you did not know.
I also love Cats and I will never forget seeing Elaine Page sing “Memory”…although it seems such a long time ago.
I thought SuBo sang well last night but still don’t get what all the fuss is about…she seems like a nice enough and straight up lady who can sing a song but that’s about it….. The BGT show , as a whole though, is crappy….imo
What would i like to hear SuBo sing?… well its a hard choice between the Sex Pistols “Anarchy in the U.K.” ….or… Led Zeps “Over the Hills & Far Away”……

My dear Percy - who is Bo? You must understand, Percy, ‘Memory’ is my most favourite of all songs (went to “Cats” 5 times) and I often listen to the song at night (have it on one of many CDs I have of B. Streisand) and do play it on weekends without fail. I think Susan Boyle did beautifully singing that song…granted I had a brief second of heart failure when she first started … trust me, Percy, if I thought otherwise of her singing that song, I would have been polite but not said much.
Do I think she is an ‘angel’, come on, Percy, no one is an angel! But in my opinon she has a great talent and it is a pity she hasn’t been discovered long before now. But then maybe long before now if she had been she would have been ‘corrupted’ by the entertainment business.
P.S. I have Elaine Paige on my favouite list on the computer singing “Memory,” I also listen to.
I have wondered how Susan would do singing “Power of Love” but I don’t think that is quite her type of song to sing. What do you think?

May 25th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
I love your sweet, sensitive satire, Cheryl……I see you sense that SuBo is almost an angel…..let me guess….heaven to you would be SuBo & Bo singing a duo…..what song would you suggest this dynamic duo do in your dream , dear Cheryl?
May 25th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
She looked absolutely lovely last night and that beautiful voice that has conquered the world! Needless to say, once again the UK’s treasure singing is our headline news this morning.
