Susan Boyle Watch: Susan Meets Demi Moore And Kisses Drew Barrymore
SUSAN Bolye Watch - Anorak’s look at Britain’s Got Talent agonist Susan Boyle in the news. Today Susan is bigger than Obama and Tweet on celebs…
Heal The World
Tom Morris uses his Huffington Post column to say: “Susan Boyle Energizes the World.”
There is communal thinking on Twitter on a level and in a form I’ve never seen before. Almost every day, a topic comes up that causes me, as a philosopher, to ponder a bit, and then share the results of that pondering in the 140 character increments that Twitter allows. Today, someone mentioned Susan Boyle, the lady who has made such a stir worldwide with her recent appearance on the television show Britain’s Got Talent…
Keep in mind the 140 character format, if you’re not familiar with Twitter, and the need for a topic announcement with each offering, as every one of them has to stand on its own or be lost in the fast moving stream of Heraclitean tweets.
Susan Boyle: My definition of actualizing potential by allowing the energy of the universe to flow through you.
Susan Boyle: One small person amazing, inspiring, and energizing the world.
Susan Boyle: The Imponderable, Improbable, even Impossible Dream empowering us all to reach and achieve.
Susan Boyle: Her wondrous spirit washed over that hall in a flash, enveloping everyone, lifting them up, and filling their hearts.
Susan Boyle: One moment. One person. One act of open surrender to what’s truly possible.
Susan Boyle: The power to change a face. The power to melt a heart. The power to cover the earth with belief. From one small village.
Susan Boyle: The immense, incalculable power of inner vision, humility, persistence, and play.
Susan Boyle: Our living lesson that when life provides a stage, sing your heart out, and prepare to be blessed!
Ending with:
Who knew that Socratic Simon Cowell would be the midwife of all this?
The anti-Obama
At a time when the President of the United States feels compelled to use a teleprompter for even the most minor appearances, when Grecian columns are necessary props for campaign speeches, when public figures are as carefully packaged as your morning cereal boxes, after watching plain Susan Boyle sing with a voice for the ages, you feel like you have witnessed a real person do something that’s real. And right. And good. No, extraordinarily good.
She is, in effect, the anti-Obama. No artifice. No teleprompter. As likely to stumble over words, or do a spontaneous bump and grind as she is to belt out a song that could leave you with chill-bumps - William Tate, The American Thinker
Less is Demi Moore
Britain’s Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle has said she was overwhelmed to discover Hollywood star Demi Moore was among her growing army of fans - Sky News
Or as Boyle put it:
She had no idea who Ashton was and although she’d heard of Demi, she didn’t really know who she was. But now she is very grateful for their support”
Drew Breath
Drew Barrymore is cheering on real life “Never Been Kissed” Scottish singing sensation, Susan Boyle.
Drew herself, starred in “Never Been Kissed” a decade ago, playing bookish 30-something Josie Geller, who goes back to high school on a journalism assignment and eventually ends up falling in love and getting her first kiss.
After learning about Susan’s real life “Never Been Kissed” story from Access Hollywood while on the “Grey Gardens” red carpet in Los Angeles Thursday evening, Drew said she had high hopes for Susan’s first smooch.
When asked who Susan should kiss first, Drew said it was a decision that despite her movie pedigree, she wasn’t qualified to weigh in on.
“Well who am I – after [47] years of a life decision to tell her who she should kiss,” Drew said sweetly. “But I hope it’s a good one!” - Access Hollywood
To Old To Start Anew?
As baby boomers reach retirement age, instead of dusting off the old golf clubs and deciding which Hawaiian shirts to take to Florida, some are dusting off their resumes and deciding which suit to wear to their job interview.
In an article entitled “How old is too old to work?” Healthday suggests: “Pick up a new language, learn a new instrument…Give yourself a push to try something new.”
Susan Boyle, an unemployed 47-year-old contestant on “Britain’s Got Talent” did just that—and see how it worked out for her - Yahoo
Blonde Ambition
Amid the frenzy yesterday, Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden made a plea for the 47-year-old churchgoer from Blackburn, West Lothian, to stay just the same.
Amanda, 38, vowed: “I won’t let Simon Cowell take her to his dentist and I certainly won’t let her near his hairdresser. She needs to stay exactly as she is because that’s the reason we love her.”
Keep the fright wig and Frump Suit on, Susan. Bide your time to reveal the real you beneath the act…
She just looks like anybody who could live on your street.
Just like the real Amanda Holden…
The minute we turn her into a glamourpuss is when it’s spoilt. That can perhaps come later when she’s signed the album deal and conquered America. For now we’ll keep her exactly as she is because that’s why we’ve all fallen in love with her. I think it’s the underdog thing. It’s somebody who’s looked after her mother all her life. She’s had real dreams, real aspirations and obviously she thought she’d had to say goodbye to those things.” - Daily Mirror
Susan Boyle - is she your bag?

I’m a bit confused……….Am I ’speaking’ to Anorak? if so, may I say that whoever Anorak is would have to be the saddest person in the World. Nasty, scathing comments re Susan Boyle are not your most endearing trait. I ask you….what have you done in your life that has gained world-wide attention/interest? Nothing, I would guess.
Susan Boyle’s success on BGT, is the encouragement all women need… to realise there is a World out there for them to make a mark………….with Talent!
Age shouldn’t be a barrier to realising your dreams, even if it’s for one day, one week, one year or the rest of your life.
I have the greatest admiration and respect for Susan and wish her the very best. God Bless Susan!

I absolutely adore Susan Boyle.I never tire of her singing and I still get chill bumps and thrills listening from the voice from God.Please Susan, be careful and watch out for the vipers out there that want to do you harm, *edit*It just boils down to….. that You will have people jealous of your Voice,Stardom,and Talent, and just be mindful of that.
There are not many superstars, but you my dear are one of the biggest of all times.Take care of yourself.

Susan is a rarity in this day and age. I am old enough to be her mother (my daughter is 45). I listen to, and try to deal with, the worlds problems, but I NEVER begin or end a day without listening to/watching Susan’s audition tape.
As said, she is a breath of fresh air and gives us hope from this troubled world. I call her up in Google very day to see if there are new pags about her, and I have decided that she is one person I would like to have as a best friend.
From Canada it will never happen, but this is a better dream that thinking I could end up with Johnny Cash.

I’m still trying to get my head around a Socratic midwife called Simon Cowell….
April 24th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Check out The Touch of the Master’s Hand on Google …. interesting parallel.
April 19th, 2009 at 10:59 pm

God bless this woman. Everyone on the Britians Got Talnet show who made fun of her before she had the chance to perform, should be ashamed of themselves. It served her presumptious citics right that she was this good. You should hear her sing “Cry Me A River” on a CD she and other locals made for charity ten years ago. Beautiful. You can download it on utube.

D. Lee Owen
I think you’ve summed it up nicely.
April 17th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
I can’t belive how many times I watch her sing. She’s amazing…more than I can express. The most touching part was that when Simon put his face in his hands and smiled….a gesture of joy that we hardly seen on him. God has given her the best gift.
April 17th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Susan represents “real people”. I think with the plastic, over-produced media folks surrounding us daily, it’s fatiguing (not to mention boring) to constantly see the over madeup, produced mannequins that populate TV & movies. We find Susan refreshing–not manufactured, but a genuine, talented, person who doesn’t have to wiggle her tush or boobs to make it (except in aspoof), More than a nice change of pace. Congrats Susan.
April 17th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
Susan is Susan - a ‘real’ person. It would be criminal to try to change her.
April 17th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Susan is amazing. Her voice is like an angel. If she made an album, I would be first in line for a CD. I wish her all the joy this world has to offer. Truely extaordinary.
April 17th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Susan is a breath of fresh air! Her voice gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it.
