  • @ luigicamp69 ... Since, Susan has recorded 3 albums which have sold over 18 million copies and earned her over $20 million! Her 1st album was the WORLD's biggest selling album for 2009! She's also sung for Prince Charles twice and the Pope and was voted 2010 Scot of the Year. Right now, she's rehearsing for a musical based on her life that will tour 11 UK cities in a couple of months ... and selecting songs for her 4th album to be released later this year. All this in less than 3 years .....

  • For the series "Where are they now?"... nowhere :)

  • Susan have a powerful voical and compare from Barbara don't have! Susan Boyle is still number one around the global!

  • A classic Susan lesson for everyone!!! One might trip and fall on occasion ... but one should spring right back up, dust yourself off and bravely soldier on ... for, you never know, ... something unexpected, perhaps beautiful and wonderful, could just be around the next corner! Here's my heartfelt BRAVO to Susan for her indomitable spirit and courage ... to the very, very end!!!

  • wow... her big problem is that ( at least in this performance) she has no control over her voice.... her vibrato sounds weak

  • a little fast, susan

  • I love it!!! Susan sings with passion,powerful, but most important : I enjoy every single word she's singing,maybe she sings not perfectly.well,but thats her charm...(its never boring like perfect singing can be)

  • @ovulatiep0wner I so agree with you. Susan is rarely perfect in live performance, but that for me is magical. You just never know what is going to happen, but you will her on to win through, anyway!

  • i think this song win but she singing in the semifinal , why not in the final susan , anyway you are good singer amazing

  • божественно. Такие песни, да в ее исполнении... Они способны поменять разум человека. Жаль только, что она открыла в себе такой огромный талант не в юношеском возрасте.

  • OMG this is terrible compared to the incomparable Barbra Streisand ! Susan Boyle has her song auto tuned and is still off pitch!

  • @roccorules1 This is surely trying to compare apples and pears, A totally futile exercise. Ms Streisand is a seasoned professional with 40 years plus of stage,screen and recording experience, whereas when this video was made Ms Boyle had made one TV recorded performance and this was her 1st live TV performance. Prior to this her singing was confined to local choirs and bars. A fair comparison? I don't think so!.

  • You are Incredible Susan!! :)

  • she's so wonderful :D

    

  • I am so amazed by this performance. It just proves that you can't judge a book by it's cover. :)

  • @ravensong101 You are right. But we are too bombarded with plastic Hollywood faces and bodies. ... And very little reality.

  • @ravensong101 you mean americans and rich people?

  • Flying by the seat of your pants stuff or what? Terrible start, held it together against the odds, and then belted the audience into submission at the end. This is one 'outstanding' performer, don't you agree?

  • 2:22 = Angel Status :o

  • So great.Susan you are the best!!

  • The girl's got pipes. She just doesn't have the breath support to hang on to any of the impressive notes. This was just a good karaoke rendition of the song.

  • the end is the best. Put like if U agree with me.

  • SHE IS FANTASTIC!!

  • I'm sorry. I saw "Susan Boyle" and had heard all of the raving about how amazing she was, and so I expected to be impressed when I hit play. What is everyone else listening to because it's obviously NOT the same thing I just heard...

  • Not good at all! I'm sorry. There are two people I know singing it better.

  • الله يهديها

  • 10 million people can't be wrong ....

  • Honestly, are people really listening at all? She's not very good at all!

  • my nipples get hard whenever she opens her mouth to sing. 

  • คนไทย like หน่อย

  • amazing susan

  • Her voice is absolutely amazing! Yes, she was out of tune at the beginning, but she quickly recovered and gave an astounding performance. And I just want to point out to those who say she could have won if she performed the song, she might not have won, but she's the one that people remember. I mean, I can't remember who actually won, but I sure remember her.

  • @JesusLoverOfMySoul10 Out of this jury no1 heared it as they do not have any clue about music

  • Does anyone even remember who beat her in the final??

  • i get chills every time i listen to her.incredible

  • Considering the pressure she was under, I think she did quite well.

  • i love her!^^

  • I like her more with the white hair. Make up won't do good for her. It's nice to see that she is like a big grandpa. I wish my grandpa could sing like this.

  • love it

  • It is ugly and can't listen with poorness. Let's hear Elaine Page.

  • Didn't give me goosebumps. Back to Elaine Paige.

  • Her dream was to sing in front of on stage in front of the world someday and she hit it off brilliant. She's an inspiration.

  • กุเห้น คำ ว่า Bodyslam กุ คิดว่า ป้า แก จะ ร้อง เพลง พี่ ตูนนน -*-

  • amazing voice

    

  • If you're beautiful inside. You're beautiful outside too :*

  • Hala Madrid!tui yêu Real

  • I'll get flack for this, but she can't belt. I'm sorry, she just can't. Apparently she can't stay on key either.

    Remind me again why people are impressed by this?

  • @ValtronW Thank you. After listening to Elaine Paige's version and seeing this one in the suggestions, I decided to check it out...she's a good singer but during the whole song she was off-key and I don't get why everyone's raving about this. Oh well..

  • @ZMiaaa I'm sorry but Barbra Streisand's version is by far the best.... no one can sing like her.. no one.

  • It gives me chills every time I hear her sing. She is such an inspiration. No matter where you are in life, no matter what obstacles you face, if you take the risk to follow your dreams, you can achieve them.

  • all i have to say is she had a great song to work with.personally i prefer the original you cant beat Barbra

  • love susan boyle!!....

  • i don't think she gave it enough emotion

  • Comment removed

  • 2:20 melhor partee

  • the super lady

  • Tears in my eyes!What a lovely voice.

  • The beginning was a little out of tune, but she quickly recovered which is what matters

  • Awful. 

  • @smoochumstar la envidia es el único ácido que corroe a la vasija que lo contiene, súfrela porque va a estar ahí por largo tiempo, viva susan.

  • It's GREAT!! what can I say more???

  • stupid teen's, who cares of how you look like? she is just being herself

    unlike you ' teen's ' try hard to be somebody else just to be liked/loved by others.

    Susan is totally amazing, never judge anybody of how they look like.

  • Oh god...

  • She started off very shakey and crracked, but she took it like a professional and got back on track completely and sounded beautiful!

    I know if that were me, I would start shaking after that crack and probably break down.

  • @mary16463517 yes, she started completely off key

  • Amazing. She can really belt it!

  • Actually... Susan Boyle inspires me. :) She taught me no matter how old we are, we could still sing, take part in competition and most importantly, to perform in front of thousands of audience! Not to mention the people who are watching her performance on tv, but also US, watching her videos on Youtube. :) I'm 16 and she actually gives me some courage to learn ballet/musical!

  • she looks drunk lmao but she still sound good white girl wasted!!!!

  • esto es talento y mas que nada RESPETO a la senora ya que los dejo con la boca abierta y se retractaron por haberse burlado de ella al principio!!!!!!

  • wonderful!!

  • her voice is great, but she doesn't have stage presence or a performing stance... She could have won if she performed the song, rather than just using her voice. Movement is important too!

  • @MegaAwesomenessFTW if you go back to the semi finale she had so much votes than the runner up had don't you think simon had the votes rigged to take the pressure of her and today we can all see what she has to offer

  • @MegaAwesomenessFTW

    I agree completely.

  • Adele is better!!!

  • I hate it. I love cats but that's offensive! The song is awesome but I'm no fan of susan Boyle!

  • @Missscookalot darling, if your not Susan's fan, why don't you just shut up? I'm sure all of your friends and family are soooo eager to hear your opinion, ok? :)

  • lol baby You not gonna be bored with me

  • Very Torching Song Makes Me Cry Everytime 

  • What's the matter with you people - are you deaf? This is awful, she's off key at numerous points in the song - particularly during the first minute.

    If you brown nosers actually want to hear the song performed well you should listen to Elaine Paige. But you don't want that, you want to feel warm and fuzzy for liking the underdog to the extent that even when she performs badly (above) you still claim that it's perfect.

    You sicken me.

  • @TheSmithDorian thank you so much. i'm glad there's another person who isn't tone deaf here. i understand she must be a lovely person but her voice is mediocre at best.

  • @TheSmithDorian There is a little thing called nervousness that sometimes lurks around the corner even for the best off performers. You ask if we are deaf and I ask you: are you jelous?

  • @SuperQueenElis Doesn't. Fucking. Matter. Did you know that Barbra Streisand suffered severe stage fright for a large part of her career? Everyone suffers from stage fright and nervousness, even singers and actors/actresses. This is pathetic. Even after the first minute she continually went off key. That is unprofessional.

  • @ValtronW Well why don't you join and show them how its done expert. If you don't think this is good then I don't know what the fuck you listen to. You do know this show is for regular people right. They are not professionals and I guarantee that pro's go off key too. You're way to fucking critical. Do you even enjoy music?

  • @Bisquack

    "Well why don't you join and show them how its done expert"

    What a childish comment. Are you suggesting that only experts should pass comment here....or does this only apply if the comment conflicts with your opinion?

    "If you don't think this is good .."

    This isn't about how good the music is. If you want good music you'd listen to Paige's or Streisand's version of the song - both of which are vastly superior to SB's.

    It's about SB's performance - and it wasn't very good.

  • @TheSmithDorian Well Susan Boyle made Helen Paige famous .If Susan didn't mention her name on her firs audition the rest of the world including myself wouldn't have known who she was.

  • @shannon360ify LOL, Elaine Paige is one of the biggest voices in Britain. She was big way before Boyle ever stepped it.

    You're American, right?

  • @ValtronW No I m Haitian .I have been living in The US for the 8 years .I m telling I didn't know who Elaine Paige was until she had appeared on CNN, Larry King Live TO SPEAK ABOUT SUSAN ,I knew Barbara though she was more famous.Susan is not a profesional stop judging her ..When she sang that song she under a lot of pressure.LIKE I SAID SHE MADE ELAINE PAIGE CAME OUT UNDER THE ROCK SHE HAS BEEN HIDING.

  • @TheSmithDorian No I'm not suggesting that experts only comment here dumbass. Let me explain the comment to you. The person I responded too is an elitist and thinks he is an expert. Like you. I was suggesting that this person should join Britain has talent and show the judges on the show how it's done. Anyways please stop being a quoting whore. When you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

  • @Bisquack

    OK flash tell me - was SB off key at a number of points in this performance or not?

    She was. But you seem to think that it was still a good performance and that criticism of it is unjistified because she is an amateur. That's bollocks. This is the semi-finals of a national talent competition and acts should be judged on that basis.

    You know it was a poor performance. You support her because she's old & ugly and you feel sorry for her. It makes you feel good about yourself to do so.

  • @TheSmithDorian Good thing you aren't a judge on this show or nobody will make it to the next round. I don't care if she was off key. I wasn't going through her performance with a fine toothed comb. She doesn't have to be perfect. She is singing in front of a large crowd and also being televised throughout the world. Thats a little bit of pressure I would imagine. It was not a poor performance. Just to you and a few other snobs.

  • @Bisquack

    "Good thing you aren't a judge [..] nobody will make it to the next round" Not exactly - nobody that sings badly would make it to the next round. It's the semi-finals of a national competition; the best is supposed to win. It's not nursery school where everyone gets a gold star if they try hard.

    " I don't care if she was off key"

    Indeed - because you're not judging her performance as a singer. Why even have her sing at all: it's not relevant, Just put her straight into the final.

  • @Bisquack I listen to the pros. Betty Buckley, Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey.......as someone who's been musically trained, I cannot possibly endorse this.

    Because it's absolute garbage to the highest degree. Go listen to Betty Buckley's performance of this and educate yourself.

  • @ValtronW Well I'm a musician. And also an audio technician. So what. Does that mean your opinion trumps others. I don't think so. It makes you look worse. You sound like a snobby person. Probably wear a scarf too. I don't think she needs your endorsement. I will listen to the non pros than whoever you consider pros any day. I will stay uneducated thank you.

  • @ValtronW I'd say that in terms of being versatile, Barbra Streisand stands alone. She has a combination of unbelievable clarity, high range and power. Shirley is one of my favourites but she has mostly power... I don't know about Betty. have you ever watched this video of Barbra? very few have... so amazing!

    Barbra Streisand as Madame Schmausen Schmidt Sings "Liebestraum" & "Mother Macree"

  • @Bisquack And you know what? If this show really is for amateurs (which it is), then why are people treating this woman like some musical prodigy? She's not.

  • @ValtronW Because its an underdog story. Thats why.

  • @TheSmithDorian THANK YOU! FINALLY SOME WITH REASON! She can't belt the song to save her butt. The song was written to be belted!

  • @TheSmithDorian Agreed, she didn't do well in this song

  • She's a classic, unlike we've seen in decades...

  • i hate this woman! here songs makes me cry.... its amazing how good this woman is!

  • The modern Kate Smith.

  • The modern Kate Smoth.

  • I cannot get this out of my head... I hear it over and over, it's just soooo captivatingly beautiful... She sings from the heavens... a gift to the world! Sound is more than we know... it is vibration and it is everything.

  • Perfect

  • DAMN she is good 2:22

  • She's awesome... :)

  • this woman should've won because she got TALENT not some trained monkeys jumping around the stage, cause they are talentless anybody can do it with training for few years but can you get voice like hers?

  • i don't really know what to say! Her voice is great! just want to tell the world that Do not judge people from their outward appearance. Susan, I love you!

  • Just her rags to riches story is enough to draw happy tears. Beautiful voice.

  • She looks so innocent and pure

  • susan boyle from futurama

  • กูคิดว่า BodySlam

  • IT HAS A VOICE LIKE LEA SALONGA ! :D

  • @ChanChan1206 First Shes not a IT?! And no one has a vice like L.S.

  • @ChanChan1206 SHE is nothing like miss Saig.. Salonga!

  • tAKI GLOS MAJA TYLKO ANIOLY: SUPER!!!!!!!

  • That's amazing, she can control the stage. Better than Elaine page.

  • meravigliosa

  • the only reason she doesnt look rite and shes always a bit owt of timimg is coz she is a mentall (idk how to spell) but I still love her voice

  • I always get goose bumps whenever she does a surprising belt

  • Susan is really really talented. Got off to a rough start but picked it right back up quickly. On the downside however, it sounds like she just memorized the lyrics and chanted them along to the tune, without truly listening to just WHAT she was singing. Singing is not just having a great voice, but also telling a story as you go along. My song teacher always drilled me on this. Susan still does a tremendously good job with this song, but I missed that little detail greatly.

  • @Ullragg WTF are u talking about? She is F-ing doing this great for one person, Its not Cats..

  • @Hammersch .... and what made you believe that I think otherwise?

    it's called constructive criticism. I was not comparing her to cats, nor did I say she did a poor job. I was simply pointing out a few missing details that I, as someone with voice training, believe could've done it better, but that most people don't even notice.

  • damn she has one effed up face

  • what kind of voice does she have? (alto,soprano)

  • I am reading comments comparing her to Elaine Paige and Brabara Streisand. Susan did great. She got over he nerves and fear during this song. You could see it in her eyes when it happened. Also Elaine Paige and Barbara Streisand have 30 - 40 + years of stage and preformanace experience on Susan. How great do you think she would be if she had started 30 years ago.

  • Egy csodálatos őstehetség, az egész világ nem véletlen hogy felkapta a fejét e szám hallatán.

  • hehe somethin u never forget lemme show you how far i can go

  • This is just amezing!

  • Sorry but Barbara Streisand puts this to shame

  • This woman is brilliant, she is truly talented! There are very few people that can top her!

  • She deserved to win in 2009. Not that group of jungle monkeys who share the same talent as every other NY street performer. Susan has real talent and obviously the public didn't see it at the time. At least she's still famous. Diversity probably took their prize. bought 100 pairs of Nikes and 10 PS2's and that was the end.

  • @dansalvatori1974 Disagree "the jungle monkeys" were better dancers than this retard is a singer.....this song she sings is actually pretty awful if you listen to the start. She has no special talent-the amazing thing is someone this odd can sing, that's all

  • @cockywatchman1976 wow that's really harsh? No singer is perfect that one little mistake isent a big deal at all. She has a lot of courage to do what she did on that stage, talent can come from anywhere even the places you least expect it. You might think she has no talent but her voice captured the hearts of millions of people from all over the world

  • Everyone is a lounge chair critic! You bastards try getting up not just in front of that crowd, but the hopes and dreams of the British public and see how you go. I'd be as nervous as hell and don't say you wouldn't be the same you bloody lounge chair hypocrites!!! @maddywebster9 AND sims3loser

  • View and hear "Return" by Susan Boyle here on YT!!!! Dedicated to military personnel all over the world! It is wonderful! Type in Susan Boyle - Return

    Tweet and share with everyone you can.

  • O how beautiful voice Susan Boyle I'm Abdullah from Saudi Arabia, like many of Susan

  • She is very talented, don't get me wrong, and perhaps it was just nerves...But I find her incredibly overrated.

  • hihi i love try new things and thats why im here

  • She is perfect ! Cross fingers for her happy life!!!!

  • Elaine Paige sings it better.

  • I am the visitor #10.000.021 :)

  • Did she lose weight? D: I hope she didn't force herself into diet, there's this lack of something looking at her :<

  • This woman is amazing she is beautiful inside and out and has the voice of an angel

  • The executive suite is full of tall, dark handsome men that are NOT capable of adding two plus two. Looks go a long way in furthering your career.

    Likewise with Susan..her ordinary looks cost her, but there is no denying her talent.

  • I was so mad when she didnt win. She deserves to win with her voice.

  • every time those lights come out everytime this rush of good feeling hits me and i get a tear but all i have to say was wow she nailed it.

  • If this competition was about talent, she would have won. But because of the drama of Hollywood it is also about looks. By right this woman should have won!

  • @weinmj Yes, unfortunately, contest of talents is also a contest of beauty. It's unfair, I think these two things have to be separated.

    I agree with you - actually SHE IS THE WINNER, whatever the jury decides!!!

  • @weinmj I don't get the big deal about her.  It's like what a shock, she's ugly and fat, but can sing, wow!!! Personally I think she is a decent singer, but nothing special-theres thousands who can sing like this. It's just because she is a bit simple, and Cowell spotted a marketing chance. I don't see any special talent

  • @cockywatchman1976 Anyone can in studio, but live performances are bit different.

  • @weinmj Agreed, the US is obsessed with looks, pretty sickening.

  • She lost because that shit is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

  • She is so cute and talented )

  • @Sambucca ummmm, okay. Chill pill over here!

  • at the begining her voice cracked and was weak, but it definatley got better as she went along

  • @jbrockmam You get up there and try to do 1% of what she did?

  • Bravo. Все остальное излишне.
