The U.S. has ta similar " feel good" story, Donald Braswell came in 4th on AGT last year. On his first audition he came out in a crumpled business suit and the crowd was mocking him like they did Susan and America was worse, they started booing him,but instead of running off the stage, he kept singing and his voice is a God given gift that turned the crowd 180 degrees to where they were giving him an approving, energetic standing ovation like they did Susan. Check out "Your Raise Me Up"
llllLuanne thank you for posting God Bless You I live near Philadephia Pa. USA Susan will be a Star. Piers Morgan is such a Gentleman does he have wife and children. My computor old but Simon knows he has a goldmine in Susan Boyle if only for awhile still her first record will go Gold world tour and Cinderella Movie. Thank you Luanne
I wish that what you are saying about dreams being within one's reach were true, but unfortunately there are times when it simply isn't. I think that when it becomes obvioius that a dream cannot possibly come true, one should recognize the fact, take the time to grieve the loss of that dream, then move on to develop new dreams. It is, however, important to realize that impossible and close to impossible are two different things, and hold on to the close to impossible, for even if it (continued)
Even before she sang, Susan reflected true beauty - both inside and out! GOD bless you, Susan! GOD speed !!! You are PERFECT just the way you are !!! Keep smiling that incredible beautiful smile of yours at the World !!! Susan... 'you' ROCK !!!
cutamisraeli, I see wht you mean though I think I would say rather than 'rigged' the programme is 'prepared'.
I would think it is inevitable that the judges would get to know a little of what a contestant is cabable of if they are something special found in there pre auditions. The judges look as if they know someething special is about to happen. And it's amazing how the camera focuses on the cynical girls straight away.
I think Susan Boyle is a great singer, ''Cry Me A River' is suberb.
I would like some feedback. If you notice the demeanor on the judge's faces right before Susan begins to sing, it is one of anticipation that she we sing magnificantly. At that point there was no cynicism. I think that during the pre-tryouts, the producers knew she was a gem and tipped off the judges. Simon's "I knew the minute you walked.." was give away. I think the BGT is truly rigged. Nevertheless, the show gave us Susan, and for that we are all grateful. Any thoughts?
cutamisraeli.. i couldnt agree more..its deffinately rigged or staged.. not so obvious on the susan boyle audition but the week after with the 12 year old lad , well that was so obvious..Simon Cowell must think we are all bloody daft watching at home.. But like you say , the show gave us susan boyle so i guess that makes up for the whole way the show is staged .
Luanne, I love your video.. and i totally agree with you. I can't wait to watch and listen Susan's songs again. She has changed people's perception about judging from first look. I like your website too..
Warm wishes from Indonesian living in cold Calgary - Canada
yeah, lots of us here from Philippines got really inspired for this achievement of Susan Boyle. I'm amazed for her courage to stand up and continue to hold on to her dreams in life, that is to become A PROFESSIONAL SINGER. God bless you Susan. you are an inspiration to the whole world. You really captured our hearts for what you believed and did. Thanks also to all people who support her.
I see eye to eye with you,Luanne. Susan deserves to be appreciated by the world.She is fantastic and wonderful.I admire her sooooooooooo much.From:Manila,Philippines
dreams are only in your reach if the media desires a new mascot ,people are fools to believe that this stuff is real ,until programs like britains got talent are destroyed we will never get real talent in the media industry ,it is these type of programs that purported the myth that talent equates to looks in the first place ,the media controls drones like the susan boyle fans .too much flouridein the water methinks ,peace
In these times of global distress and uncertainty, the Scottish songbird Susan Boyle has succeeded at the insurmountable task at making the world a much better place!
Aye shes had a hard life! She was constantly bullied by the asshole teenagers weve got here because she is slighty brain damaged. Shes unemployed and she cried last year when she got turned down a job from my work which a just a little supermarket.
I was speaking to her on sunday walking up from chapel and i asked her to sign my chest! She cried with laughter! Haha!
Shes conquerin the world as i write this and now for the rest of my life im going to look at her in shock and awe.<3
Authenticity, in itself, is beauty. Susan Boyle was not a dreamer short of talent, but an authentic talent in need of the opportunity for public exposure. We all can assist others in their pursuit of their dreams. We all CAN make a difference in the world, maybe in a small way. We can give people the opportunity to express their beauty without judgment.
"Wildflowers survive were soils are harsh; avoiding alligator shoes and careless hearts"
Susan Boyle is an eye opener not oly to the judges, but for everybody to see the inside beauty of a person.People are not like computers nowadays wherein lots of upgrading is needed to be appreciated and valued or even classified to a certain level. No amount of technology could ever change people, but our attitudes and the way we treated them could make the difference. Just open our eyes, and our hearts and accept people as people and not as a commodity..
There are so many things to equate to this phenomenon with Susan Boyle. It's her cheeky grin, her twinkling eyes, her whitty sense of humour, the love and compassion she has for everyone that surrounds her. Her strength. Her courage... AND her amazing voice!
I would love to sit down with her and Pebbles her cat!at her kitchen table and just chat over a cup of tea.
I have a feeling Blackburn, Scotland is going to have an invasion of tourists pretty darn soon!
you can tbelive how much i want to break the chain but susan is to amazing to dis.i admit i was against her but now... only word to describe it is Unbelievable
Luanne, thanks for this very awesome video of yours about Susan Boyle. This video really inspires me and like a smack in my head coz I've always been misjudge by the way I look and because of that I feel that I am pathetic. Thanks again and have a great day, hope you inspire more people like me. Thanks so much.
Why do these people keep droning on about the way she looks, is that really important, how do they think that is making susan feel, just listen to her voice and shut your eyes if you don't like what you see, if you were blind you would'nt care what she looked like you would just appreciate her singing.
Susan IS beautiful on the inside and out. In telling her story, I was stating how the audience perceived her. It's in no way a reflection of my personal views on the lovely Scottish songbird.
Luanne... Susan wasn't plain nor was she frumpy... She was beautiful & her beauty radiated so very brightly from her heart deep within to her smile and sparkling eyes... This was even before she started signing.... Susan - you are surely an incredible blessing from GOD to us all... GOD bless you, always...
Susan is truly an amazing talent. Not only does she sing like an angel ~~ she has inspired so many people. Now the entire world will be able to enjoy her phenomenal voice.
the WORLD changed the moment she opened her mouth ...it transformed because we all admitted our prejudgement and moved into understanding and well wishing for her to live her dream. She showed us that ordinary IS BRILLIANTLY BEAUTIFUL!
the world has/IS really changed and Susan was/IS our catalyst.
My most profound and humble thank you to Susan for her courage to believe in herself and just be real!
hey thanks its good to hear everyone get behind susan she stays a couple of doors up from my parents and she is a lovely woman so thanks everyone lets get behind suzie
When Karen Carpenter died i always said, The world lost the voice of an angel. Well we got another angel voice in Susan. I cried when I heard her. Good for you Susan, take the world by storm and I got the money set aside for your first cd. Thank you Susan you gave us all hope.
Why not just put your website link in one of the annotations or in the description? Or both? It'd be easier IMO.
The world is in a sad state when we judge people at face value. The beauty inside a person is what we should look for, but I don't see that ever happening 100%.
Like Jesus risen from his cave, she is a miracle slap in the face. Not because she can sing but because of the reaction around the world. You all just seen a modern day miracle. In seconds millions of people changed instantly. Even if we relapse, who amongst us can say I caused a positive change in the world and left its mouth dropped wide open.
Because many was inspired. The aura that she gave during the time she 1st got on the stage & after she sang is very different.
I understand your point, i also have seen that...and that makes it "the thing".
Looks can be deceiving & as many people judge only on what they see;it's like a reminder for all of us that it is not being judgemental that would make us a better person.Susan has a dream, she knows what she wants,& she doesn't care what other people would say, & she's not hurting anybody.
I think God used this to pick up and inspire many many people across the globe. I know it came to me and my sister when we most needed it, picked us up, and told us, "Anything is possible." My sister has been down because she just turned 48, and is having to start her life over and was feeling that she was too old to start over...as I said, this couldn't have come at a more perfect time for us. THANK YOU SUSAN...THANK YOU GOD!!!
Luanne, i live in Miami and i came form Cuba 2 years ago. I"m a singer but i never did in my country because my family was persecuted for believe in God.
All my dreams are to be a singer, but i found a big wall,i"m 41 years old.
Most of the competences are for young people under 28 years old.
I lost my faith sometimes, i heard in the news about Susan Boyle, i saw her video in YuoTube, and she is amazing.
She is my inspiration now.
She is good Angel and for me the message is "don't stop"
I like you thought I was too old to become a singer and record company were telling me I was too old. But I have now did 500 concerts singing for children, promoting French in English schools in Canada. I encourage you to visit my website, maybe you can promote spanish, and make a living by singing about your culture too!
I truly believe that we should not judge a book by its cover. The disheartening part of this case, however, is that had she not blown them away and had she been a horrible singer, everyone would have made fun of her for years to come just like William Hung.
It's a lesson that I hope people learn and remember that it's good to realize that someone like Susan is worthy of more even if she had opened her mouth and bats flew out, and remember that we would have torn her apart had she done poorly.
Thank you for your lovely comments and views on Susan Boyle, i for one, thought 'Simon Cowell won't like her' when I saw her walk on stage, then burst into tears when she started singing. It is one of those moments that has inspired and touched millions of people all over the world. Regards.
What an inspiration and talented lady. I thought she was beautiful and her attitude was superb. We could all learn something from her. Where has she been all the time, she should have been recognized years ago. Is it. She most probably has been hurt by stupid remarks, I think she is a beautiful person inside and outside.
congratulations Susan, may all your dreams come true. You have given us all hope and dreams. God Bless you, you are an angel!!
I watched Susan Boyle video on youtube then I found your video. As I lisened to you describe her as a plain looking person, tears just started pouring down my face. Because I had judged her before I heard her sing and I felt guilty for doing that. Susan is truly a beautiful person. we all need to stop and think about how we see the world
1 Samuel 16:7 - "...for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart."
All things are possible with GOD! May the LORD bring more people like Susan forth to humble the hearts of those who wrongfully judge others and put their faith in superficial matters. Let us put our faith into what is founded upon love and truth for it is this which is everlasting!
Very true Luanne, many of us don't realize that if we dream about something and put lots of emotion in that dream then we have a good chance of achieving it. You have inspired me to try to make my dream come true. The reaction of the world to Susan Boyle is so strong possibly to her humble background and looks, hiding her singing talent. Her show brought me to tears not only for her singing talent but also for the words in the song she choose. Thanks again.
Congratulations from Valencia to this post and to such an amazing lady as Susan is. She's defenitelly showing to the world she's a star and which is even more thrilling as you all said proving wrong everybody who was laughing at her in the very beginning. My most sincere congratulations to this fully-fledged singer and all to of the audience who get touched by such an incredible message. Keep on going Susan !
Life is how we perceive it to be. If we focus on the positive, life will be great no matter what. Luanne is encouraging us all to embrace what Susan has achieved and live life to the fullest with passion and believe.
I think this is a nice idea for some of us. Of course when reading the comments, we have to negate the ones that don't necessarily reflect our ideas. Its that simple. With so many individual people in the world, there are that many different opinions, needs and desires, etc. Take what you need and leave what you don't. Luanne is reaching out to certain people: those with impossible dreams. She is trying to show and prove that there is hope and there always will be hope. Nothing is impossible!
Luanne isn't 'jumping in front of Susan Boyle's limelight' you idiot. She's a talented professional musician giving Susan Boyle credit and accolades for pursuing her dreams.
Yeah, she sings too - idiot.
-and ZaeBo4, don't you feel stupid now?
Grammy award nominee!
Here we are people, - watching a nice vid about inspiration and hope - and these two smucks just have to pop in with their hate.
Greetings from New Zealand Luanne!! I think its a great msg you have done!!! Susan is an amazing lady and i wish her well for her new future as her career is gonna take off!!!! I think we should all cheer her on!!!! I think alot of people are jealous of Susan because she was a overnite sensation with recording agencys chasing her!!! Anyway, great to see you are offering positive advise!!! All the best from me and the people of New Zealand
Thank you all for your kind comments. I appreciate them greatly.
To those of you who have posted vicious messages calling me names and so forth, it saddens me my positive words about achieving your dreams would provoke so much hate in you.'
Ur definitely right Luanne, u couldnt have put it better. The people who are trying to discriminate you are the exact ones you were talking about, the dumb and superficial. I think you sent out a great message and I couldnt have put it better myself. Thanks x
I actually have a very full life! I'm a motivational speaker, an author, an entertainment journalist and recording artist, who has been nominated for 3 Grammy Awards!
Why are you name calling ? shes backing susan boyle you mug, read the video name.. if you didnt know shes saying were you inspired by susan... leave the poor women alone lol
Hmm its called sharing her view on susan and what the fuck have you got to do with her telling someone else that they shouldnt make a video on her.. Twat much..
I've watched this video over and over and each time it makes me cry. Not because of how she looked or what she wore but, how she sounded. Her voice is awsome, I would love to hear more of her, and see how far she can go. So many comments and everyone feels the same. Beautiful voice, you just can't help but cry.
Susan's performance crushed me to tears. The combination of her talent and her story along with her position in life--all crush me and I WEPT!! I have NEVER been moved by a performance like this. And I only got to experience it on a 5x6 inch screen--go figure. What must it have been like to experience it LIVE??!!! The time was right, the song was so perfectly fitting. Susan step forward into your dream! Practice your royal protocol, b/c you're going to sing for the Queen.
I am inspired by Susan's determination, confidence and indomitable spirit.I immediately noticed her beautiful posture and stage presence when she sang. Her talent speaks for itself. Her looks and clothes have nothing to do with her success. I admire her tenacity and I wish her well!! We all should learn to pursue our fondest dreams if possible. "Chance favours the prepared mind."
can't understant why people want to make remarks about a stranger making a nice video response to another human being. Very nice Luanne. And way to go Susan!
to the lady in this video well said susan is great and your comments were lovely and its great to see there are nice people out there like your good self.
Luanne is absolutely spot on here, very inspiring vid. BTW, Susan Boyle dresses frumpily (it is not rude to say so, I think Susan would probably agree.. and I am english, not american!) but if you see her interview prior to her audition you will see she is not a frumpy personality. She is witty and very charming....
Thank you, Luanne, you are very sweet...I showed my Mom your video because she's going through a lot right now and I hoped your words would give her encouragement...I do have to say...nothing frumpy about Susan! But, I understand where you were coming from...
I think Susan is a brilliant woman, Paul, and I meant no disrespect.
But let's get real! The whole reason everyone was against her was because of her appearance. Whether you call it frumpy, plain, etc., it did affect people's perception of her.
But the lesson was well taken by everyone. And like Amanda said, it was a wakeup call to not be so quick to judge others based on what we see on the outside.
The biggest disappointment here is Susan's mother wasn't here on earth to experience this. Susan deserves all that this life has to offer. I hope she maintains her humble personality because regardless of the outcome of her talent as a singer, she's already a winner as a human being. Too bad most people judge the face before the heart.
I completely agree with you. The judges reaction was virtually identical to the faces and smirks they made when Paul Potts walked on the stage during the first Britain's Got Talent. I agree with Amanda that this was truly a wake-up call. I hope Piers, Amanda, and Simon have learned by making assumptions based on how a person looks....
You're right, Luanne. Everything is possible if you believe in GOD! I was touched & inspired by Susan Boyle's voice. The voice sent from heaven & like an angel. When I was watching her, I see her as an angel, beautiful inside & outside. Always dream a bigger dream & in HIS TIME it will come true; have patience.
Luanne, I respectively disagree with you that Susan looked frumpy in her dress. She chose a beautiful dress and shoes for her performance. She certainly looked better than most I've seen on the show. Just becasue she did not have a stylist she had so much moxy to get up there and sing her sweet heart out. I hope someone will take her and use her in musicals, she would make a GREAT character actress. She not only has the voice and power but she has charisma.
The U.S. has ta similar " feel good" story, Donald Braswell came in 4th on AGT last year. On his first audition he came out in a crumpled business suit and the crowd was mocking him like they did Susan and America was worse, they started booing him,but instead of running off the stage, he kept singing and his voice is a God given gift that turned the crowd 180 degrees to where they were giving him an approving, energetic standing ovation like they did Susan.

the WORLD changed the moment she opened her mouth ...it transformed because we all admitted our prejudgement and moved into understanding and well wishing for her to live her dream. She showed us that ordinary IS BRILLIANTLY BEAUTIFUL!
the world has/IS really changed and Susan was/IS our catalyst.
My most profound and humble thank you to Susan for her courage to believe in herself and just be real!

When Karen Carpenter died i always said, The world lost the voice of an angel. Well we got another angel voice in Susan. I cried when I heard her. Good for you Susan, take the world by storm and I got the money set aside for your first cd. Thank you Susan you gave us all hope.

Why not just put your website link in one of the annotations or in the description? Or both? It'd be easier IMO.
The world is in a sad state when we judge people at face value. The beauty inside a person is what we should look for, but I don't see that ever happening 100%.

Judge not.
Like Jesus risen from his cave, she is a miracle slap in the face. Not because she can sing but because of the reaction around the world. You all just seen a modern day miracle. In seconds millions of people changed instantly. Even if we relapse, who amongst us can say I caused a positive change in the world and left its mouth dropped wide open.

I'm sorry, but unless you live in Britain, you can't. Susan is in Britain's Got Talent, and people vote by phoning in.
PaulAnt2008 2 years ago
When you think about it, she's become so well known because she's an ugly fat woman with a beautiful voice.
If she was attractive she wouldn't be getting any attention. What does this say about human nature?
eveningniteshade 2 years ago
Because many was inspired. The aura that she gave during the time she 1st got on the stage & after she sang is very different.
I understand your point, i also have seen that...and that makes it "the thing".
Looks can be deceiving & as many people judge only on what they see;it's like a reminder for all of us that it is not being judgemental that would make us a better person.Susan has a dream, she knows what she wants,& she doesn't care what other people would say, & she's not hurting anybody.

I think God used this to pick up and inspire many many people across the globe. I know it came to me and my sister when we most needed it, picked us up, and told us, "Anything is possible." My sister has been down because she just turned 48, and is having to start her life over and was feeling that she was too old to start over...as I said, this couldn't have come at a more perfect time for us. THANK YOU SUSAN...THANK YOU GOD!!!

Luanne, i live in Miami and i came form Cuba 2 years ago. I"m a singer but i never did in my country because my family was persecuted for believe in God.
All my dreams are to be a singer, but i found a big wall,i"m 41 years old.
Most of the competences are for young people under 28 years old.
I lost my faith sometimes, i heard in the news about Susan Boyle, i saw her video in YuoTube, and she is amazing.
She is my inspiration now.
She is good Angel and for me the message is "don't stop"

Hi Sarangells,
I like you thought I was too old to become a singer and record company were telling me I was too old. But I have now did 500 concerts singing for children, promoting French in English schools in Canada. I encourage you to visit my website, maybe you can promote spanish, and make a living by singing about your culture too!

I truly believe that we should not judge a book by its cover. The disheartening part of this case, however, is that had she not blown them away and had she been a horrible singer, everyone would have made fun of her for years to come just like William Hung.
It's a lesson that I hope people learn and remember that it's good to realize that someone like Susan is worthy of more even if she had opened her mouth and bats flew out, and remember that we would have torn her apart had she done poorly.

What an inspiration and talented lady. I thought she was beautiful and her attitude was superb. We could all learn something from her. Where has she been all the time, she should have been recognized years ago. Is it. She most probably has been hurt by stupid remarks, I think she is a beautiful person inside and outside.
congratulations Susan, may all your dreams come true. You have given us all hope and dreams. God Bless you, you are an angel!!

I watched Susan Boyle video on youtube then I found your video. As I lisened to you describe her as a plain looking person, tears just started pouring down my face. Because I had judged her before I heard her sing and I felt guilty for doing that. Susan is truly a beautiful person. we all need to stop and think about how we see the world

All things are possible with GOD! May the LORD bring more people like Susan forth to humble the hearts of those who wrongfully judge others and put their faith in superficial matters. Let us put our faith into what is founded upon love and truth for it is this which is everlasting!

Very true Luanne, many of us don't realize that if we dream about something and put lots of emotion in that dream then we have a good chance of achieving it. You have inspired me to try to make my dream come true. The reaction of the world to Susan Boyle is so strong possibly to her humble background and looks, hiding her singing talent. Her show brought me to tears not only for her singing talent but also for the words in the song she choose. Thanks again.

Congratulations from Valencia to this post and to such an amazing lady as Susan is. She's defenitelly showing to the world she's a star and which is even more thrilling as you all said proving wrong everybody who was laughing at her in the very beginning.

I think this is a nice idea for some of us. Of course when reading the comments, we have to negate the ones that don't necessarily reflect our ideas. Its that simple. With so many individual people in the world, there are that many different opinions, needs and desires, etc. Take what you need and leave what you don't. Luanne is reaching out to certain people: those with impossible dreams. She is trying to show and prove that there is hope and there always will be hope. Nothing is impossible!

GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Susan's performance crushed me to tears. The combination of her talent and her story along with her position in life--all crush me and I WEPT!! I have NEVER been moved by a performance like this. And I only got to experience it on a 5x6 inch screen--go figure. What must it have been like to experience it LIVE??!!! The time was right, the song was so perfectly fitting. Susan step forward into your dream! Practice your royal protocol, b/c you're going to sing for the Queen.
TellitToMe100 2 years ago
I am inspired by Susan's determination, confidence and indomitable spirit.I immediately noticed her beautiful posture and stage presence when she sang. Her talent speaks for itself. Her looks and clothes have nothing to do with her success. I admire her tenacity and I wish her well!! We all should learn to pursue our fondest dreams if possible.

Luanne is absolutely spot on here, very inspiring vid. BTW, Susan Boyle dresses frumpily (it is not rude to say so, I think Susan would probably agree.. and I am english, not american!) but if you see her interview prior to her audition you will see she is not a frumpy personality. She is witty and very charming....
Can't wait to see her next audition!
.. and Luanne, keep doing what you do!

cazz, who made you the fashion police, it is rude to say.
Listen to Dolly Parton who tells exactly what price she has paid to make herself beautiful.
btw, what has luanne done to make herself more attractive. I can see she, at the very least, bleaches her hair.
Susan Boyle just needs a makeup & hair consultant. All stars have them. You don't think they look like that naturally.
Wake up.

I think Susan is a brilliant woman, Paul, and I meant no disrespect.
But let's get real! The whole reason everyone was against her was because of her appearance. Whether you call it frumpy, plain, etc., it did affect people's perception of her.
But the lesson was well taken by everyone. And like Amanda said, it was a wakeup call to not be so quick to judge others based on what we see on the outside.
Best to you!

The biggest disappointment here is Susan's mother wasn't here on earth to experience this. Susan deserves all that this life has to offer. I hope she maintains her humble personality because regardless of the outcome of her talent as a singer, she's already a winner as a human being. Too bad most people judge the face before the heart.

I completely agree with you. The judges reaction was virtually identical to the faces and smirks they made when Paul Potts walked on the stage during the first Britain's Got Talent. I agree with Amanda that this was truly a wake-up call. I hope Piers, Amanda, and Simon have learned by making assumptions based on how a person looks....

Luanne, I respectively disagree with you that Susan looked frumpy in her dress. She chose a beautiful dress and shoes for her performance. She certainly looked better than most I've seen on the show. Just becasue she did not have a stylist she had so much moxy to get up there and sing her sweet heart out. I hope someone will take her and use her in musicals, she would make a GREAT character actress. She not only has the voice and power but she has charisma.
