SUSAN BOYLE interview on GOOD MORNING AMERICA, 16 Apr 2009

[rudfil]

Diane Sawyer, you should be ashamed for asking such insensitive questions.

[kingofmonra]

The best part of susans audition is when she starts walking off XD not that she was bad, it's just funny.

[kingofmonra]

What a bitch that blond woman is

[littletickle17]

lol......are you stalking me?.

to be honest i went to the video of her singing by mistake but i came here after to see her speak.

you are right ...i was a bit harsh considering her lack of experience although i dont think that it helped that her back room team obviously told her not to comment on certain things.

[littletickle17]

well ...miss boyle may be able sing but my god she is boring, i`m sure her PR team realise this and will be acting accordingly.

[dossery100]

@littletickle17 Well how mean spirited was that. A ordinary women with no experience of the media takes on Diane Sawyer in a seemingly condescending, patronising mood and who wins? Ms Boyle of course, for being her ordinary ,good humoured self. Littletickle, just look at the comments - it is DS who takes a pounding here- not Susan Boyle. You seem to be on the wrong track again . I would question your objectivity .

[blackratpoo]

that was the most awkward interview everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrr.

[blackratpoo]

that was the most awkward interview everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrr.

[impamiizgraa]

oh my god is that woman on medication or something? she sounds so slow

[MrDetwaa]

Sawyer is an annoying bitch. 

[mrmalade]

this is a conversation between two very different women

[OhMyGosh5634]

What a bitch interviewing her!

[OhMyGosh5634]

@amn0034 obviously not... but that women has really bugged me.

[kh712]

no dejes de regalarnos tu voz, a quien corresponda por favor darle la posibilidad para que el mundo entero pueda disfrutar de ella.

[PureSoapCleans]

Diane Sawyer is rude to the extreme, nothing new. I have seen her on tv totally drunk more than once. Perhaps too many years of drinking has damaged her brain forever. Still, no excuse to be so rude to someone so nice and with real talent as Suzane Boyle.

[flyingalbert]

Her mouth is singing for her.

[mnhzmazingrace]

flyingalbert ... I almost agree ... but dare to say the song is coming from deeper within than her mouth. I believe it's coming from her soul!

[bamitsme1000]

some one is singing for her

xx

[mnhzmazingrace]

bamitsme1000 ... WHY??? try to sing from your own soul rather than dumping on others and really stealing their uniquity!

[PrivatePrinny117]

Diane is a fucking bitch. What a fucked up whore.

[conor55455]

Love you Susan!! you are brilliant!!

from Thailand

[mindyourbizok]

She has a sensational and very youthful voice. Many of the singers who are younger than her, like Whitney and Mariah are loosing their voices. I didn't know that an 48 year old woman can have such a silky youthful voice. Why has her voice lasted so long and Mariah's is slowly deteriorating?

[tesroz]

Because mariah has been pushing her voice too much with the whistles and stuff... and whitney obviously destroyed with drugs...

[SparkyProduction]

let the haters hate susan boyle.

[sussexking]

I hope West Lothian are proud. They deserve to be.

[jennyjumps]

"One of my favourite British Words" - Pretty sure that lady is sitting in "Scotland" - per the caption.

[syclejames]

Swear ta god, never heard this yoke singin before but just got goosebumps when she started to sing, amazin!

[jackdorward]

omg solid susen

[todegriks]

She's is seriously mentally retarded. Her disabilities kinda screw all of her starness, but that's what make her so notable. A great voice, undoubtely.

[sisalrug]

I don't see how you can say she's mentally retarded. In interviews she is quick and perceptive and shows depth in her responses that seem to indicate a brain that is better than average, not worse.

[jlebesis]

Well said sisalrug! In fact, the contrary is true, a person who can't see that she is an intelligent a bright woman must have mental problems themselves to not be able to recognise that! :p

[gsdboi]

You are so stupid... seriously... she took care of her mother dumb ass.. you are so retarted todegriks.... people like you make me sick...

[SuzLa1]

@todegriks

'facts are in Wikipedia'? That just shows you for what you are todegriks, as Wiki can be written by anybody and it isn't always the truth. Go talk to a trained medical person and then, come back to us.

[gsdboi]

@todegriks

Wikipedia is not a reliable source since it can be written by anyone.. wow.. and you are saying that she has mental retardation problems? wow...... that shows that you are dumb!

[sisalrug]

Diane acts like she is on pills. Next time take a 'nice' pill you mean thing. All your chuckling and patronizing tones don't make you sound good and kind---youre just not in the same league with Susan Boyle, and it shows.

[vintagerosenz]

omg I get bullied for being the odd quiet one too :|

finally, someone who had the same problem as me

[AmSClarinette]

im quiet but i dont really get bullied exept my friend bugs me alot sometimes

[vintagerosenz]

I always lol so hard when she walks away. So funny! :P

she has the most amazing voice!

[gigiontube]

Diane Sawyer is a clear picture of how our society is these days. She was bullying Susan while asking her about being bullied in school. Couldnt she realize that?

Well...we all do what weve been conditioned or forced to do; some to bully and overpower with every occasion, and some to continuously defend and stay away from the bullies.

I hope Diane, while re-watching her interview, realized how ridiculous she behaved.

Susan was the winner and the star, by FAR!!!!

[moosey62]

LOL! Who's the blonde?

[lordsaevus]

wow agreed wtf is with that "presenter" Susan has more talent then that blonde Attila the Cunt

[marcN19]

Where did they get this presenter from??????????????

[HvnsRose]

God gave her a beautiful voice and what makes it more beautiful is that her heart and soul shine through it. Indeed she reached everyone heart with her audition. She is a wonderful lady and I truly wish her the very best.

[ashleighObabes]

that presenter or whatever she MIGHT want to call her self should really give Susan just a wee break. Seriously, it's a bloody shame and she doesn'y need people like that blonde one to talk to her as if she is an infant. All I can say is that I look up to Susan and she's done amazingly good for us back home. Love you susan doll and keep your chin up xxx

[rebroad2]

Hmmm. the TV host seemed a little slow towards the end of the interview with Susan Boyle!

[aldenbuzz]

Thank God for Susan Boyle's determination and her mother's appreciation. Susan Boyle has the most beautiful voice imaginable.

[FOAMANTE2]

It's nice to knowSusan's fans are still posting beautiful comments about how they love her. Susan Boyle came out second in bgt but like Simon Cowell said afterwards she's the most famous world wide star even second.. What a great human being Susan is. hmm Diane not a good interview

[driscollnh]

Diane Sawyer, despite your attractive appearance and voice, you should be ashamed of your condescending, patronizing, bordering-on-the-sarcastic interview of the demure, kind, sympathetic, and graciously humble Susan Boyle! Please attempt to learn NEVER to look down upon the person with whom you are speaking. It does NOT become you one bit!

[UnknownCitizen]

Diane Sawyer has got to be one of the most insincere people on television (that's your plastic face presenter there). Susan Boyle is a lovely and talented lady, and I hate Sawyer's condescending attitude toward her! Adore you, Susan! Don't let them turn you into a blonde, red leather-wearing faker like her!

[Laurieb2851]

I completely agree with you. Condescending is the perfect word to describe Diane Sawyer. I used to like her.

[MrCdsingle]

that american presenter is so plastic face. bitch to susan, media should leave her alone, and she just wants to make records, she doesnt need all the crap that goes with ie music videos and plastic surgery. do you think pavarotti had all that crap? I think not xx

[elasetti]

What a Very Stupid interview ,shame American television .

[ifusuckilltellu]

That poor thing needs to be left alone lets just enjoy her gift and stop putting her down it's wrong she is a very sweet lady!

[Khalgourlay]

i,m a scottish gay guy and nothin is wrong with susans accent its very strong scottish accent xxxx

[christinafan11]

wots up wif scottish accents. im scottish!

but i do understandd that we sometimes tok a bit fast

[ceryt56]

I watch GMA

[pavcy]

You, Americans, are so plastic !

[rosiejolly]

LOL; she's so cool.

"No comment.."

*Akward laugh from American woman*

[hippyshirl]

Well , it's saturday night in the UK, Britains Got Talent Final and i've registered my vote for Susan - GO GIRL! She deserves to win, God bless you!

[paulceehabbo]

Im scottish stop slagging her accent :(

[UnknownCitizen]

I think her accent's fine and completely understandable. And I'm an American.

[CircuitTweak]

Lol, 'Gobsmacked, one of my favourite british words!'

Hahaha. Love it.

Love Susan.

[Za3rour]

out of all the people who have interviewed susan boyle - the best interview so far has been from Diane Sawyer.

every interview i have watched so far has been disappointing.

i can't even repeat what the reporters have said.

Thanks Diane for the kind interview :)

and Susan i wish you the best of luck :D

[truthlovver]

diane sawyer is an idiot, one of those plastic people that populates u.s. tv. go back to the beginning of the interview, swayer refers to herself when calling american tv plastic and superficial.

[bifferoo92]

Who's the host? Are you all american? I can understand her im english

[applemartiiini]

that's because she isn't english. she's scottish.

[nathancole2]

ha. that seem like a hard interview

[gonzobeads]

Hahaha. That's fair enough....

[rizny87]

[guilvinec]

Do you think Susan speaks English cause I didn't understand any words of what she said! US accent and English is easier to understand as well as British English but not the Scotish accent! I felt sorry for the American anchorwoman cause I'm not sure she did understand anything from Susan!

[teel6060]

lol, ya shes hard to understand.

[xRosieBurkex]

Personally, I think the stupid American woman's accent was difficult to understand. I'm English and I understood her perfectly, whereas the American woman's voice just gave me a headache. Most other people can understand Susan fine, maybe you need your ears tested.

[guilvinec]

I'm very happy to answer you! First of all, you English have not been able to be the first powerful in this world! I'm French (Breton) and I can tell you I'm English too!

So shut up! Your English is too close to French fucking human being! I ain't got nothing against Susan Boyle cause I'm Germanic and Celtic, but I just said she is hard understand and she doesn't speak English with an English accent!

Now I by far love so much the US accent and English we have perfected it!

[oanadee]

I am Thai. I think it's very difficult to understand the English accent. American accent is easy to listen to.

I still love Susan,though.

[EspanolTrini01]

good job susan for answering the questions smartly.Diane is so dumb. it sounds like Diane is looking down on susan.

[msmaria61]

Typical of the AMerican mindset.. Diane, dumb interview!!!!!!!!

[sprinklefriend]

does anyone else find it hard to understand her? NOT AGAINST HER as a person, just the differences in how we pronounce words... i watch mi-5 (called spooks in the uk) on dvd all the time so i usually when i watch british stuff it sounds totally normal to me... but i think it's the scottish & irish accents i struggle with. english doesn't even sound different to me anymore. but then again, i think russian & romanian sound normal, too.

[WhoIsSean]

I think american accents sound the same as english these days I hear it so much on TV. Although Scottish, Welsh and Irish all sound normal to me too. I guess its what you hear the most or what you live around.

[garry071]

Well Susan surely gives new leash on life to people holding onto to their dreams... to want to come out and explore the possibility of what IF it can come true..... Me included. Bless her and thank her for this..... Shame on Diane Sawyer thou... on things she said. What the hell...Makes a sorry representation for America.... But Susan is untouchable & has the whole world Gobsmacked...love ya.

[hurtme32]

Amazing Voice WOW

GOGO Susan

[ntguru5]

jeezus, I expected a little more from Diane Sawyer. She just yapped about kissing and money. Way to represent, dumbass.

[Kiramaru207]

Diane Sawyer kind of like look down on Susan Boyle. Her laugh is so fake and why on earth does she makes those comments?

[gphantom25]

Bloody Stupid Diane Sawyer... what a dumb Inconsiderate WENCH.

Kill yourself thats whats gonna happen to your career..

[angeliko2009]

fantastica desde peru saludos

[jassy345]

"Susan Boyle makes me want to go find the dreams that I discarded years ago, and DO something about them. She is just what we needed to hear in this time of unemployment, pirates, shady politicians, terrible economy, and general depression. Thank you, Susan"

[Thelmacyn]

She is great! She is a untouched

treasure. I hope she has a great

life from now on. Susan Boyle needs

to win the award.

[Jobeterob]

Ohhhh......Diane Sawyer is so stupid. Susan Boyle, by being so real, so normal, made Diane Sawyer looks and sound so stupid. Bravo Susan; Diane - back to school!

[caub81]

I agree 100%, some of Diane Sawyer comments were very inappropriate.

[H3770mynameis]

diane sawyer, what a condescending bitch

[ralphcifaretto1]

I am from Glasgow, Scotland. Is this woman really big in USA ????

[MysticZen]

yes she is and in Canada as well.

[DianaDeLuna]

She's been a smash. Her performance spread through the internet and by word of mouth. Within 3 days, everyone I knew had heard of her.

[caylak2877]

Diane Sawyer is well known but I wouldn't say she's really big... not like she's a Barbara Walters or anything. She just mainly hosts Good Morning America and occasionally does nightly exclusives on ABC.

[Broxbourne0rocks]

god that blonde woman is annoying

"godsmacked... one of by favourite british words"

argh!

[nosfero]

Damn what a gap between americans and british.. Soo many differences..

[cjason123]

more or less the same? that was scotland by the way. there are bullies here too ya know..

[nosfero]

What bullies got to do with this mate ? I know its scotland.

[afleececooper]

"Damn what a gap between americans and british.. Soo many differences.. "

More in common with each other than any other countries! :)

[AlistairIsCool]

that was a terrible interview

[Marrimac]

What a gap, between a crappy interviewer and a talented lady!

There will be a time when this video/interview will be used as an evidence for many different subjects.

Both, Diane and Susan belong to the history now. Best wishes to both.

[SKTPSY]

Such a natural performer, love the smile during pause. Gives impression of as if she knows what she is delivering. Pavoroti eat your heart out!

I am in love with Simon, now he looks so cute! :)

[glebeboi]

After quickly reading a few of these comments, Im glad it wasnt just me thinking that this newsreporter - Diane Sawyer, is a patronising stitched up bitch!Honey - the fact isnt that she's 47 & has never been kissed, It isnt she's a plastic throw away bimbo like the majority of today's wannabe singers who have to rely on voice manipulation & heavily doctored orchestration to even sound half decent, nor is it that this slightly simple woman is of plain variety looks -

[glebeboi]

the fact & reality is that this humble woman has an AMAZING voice!, has touched MILLIONS & an innocent beauty from within. So you can take your deliberate slow patronising drawl & crawl up behind Susan Boyle & ask if you could have the honour to kiss her arse! And then I hope she turns around & smacks you in the gob seeing as you love the word so much - you vacuous arrogant pretentious cow! Go Susan!

[PepperBabe]

Amen to you glebeboi! Diane Sawyer is a terrible interviewer: rude, patrinising and superficial. You watch british interviews and they might as 1 or 2 questions about her never have been kissed or her looks, but it's mostly about her talent; Diane Sawyer did just the oposite! Get off your high horse and go kiss the ground that Susan steps, if you even deserve it.

[JohnFPoirier]

Diane Sayer is 64, she was born in 1945...

[souxchefjane]

well done to Susan for the way she handled this interview. Her answers show what a well balanced woman she is. (as well as being incredibly talented)

[GuynamedDavid]

What's the big deal about her asking about the kiss? Susan Boyle told the audience she hadn't been kissed did she not?

[GuynamedDavid]

Diane Sawyer is hot...for her age.

[BlueJayMoody]

Over 25 MILLION hits on the 7 minute video. STUNNING,wonderful surprise. Watching the crowd jump to their feet when she begins her second passage. The judges expressions are priceless! She keeps her kewl, it's brought tears to my eyes every time I've played this. Really moving. Those 2 in the backstage area are hilarious but their comebacks say it all for us! Wowser! We, the world have come together, just LOOK at all of us? Every country, every part of the World.Beautiful song, thank you Susan.

[BlueJayMoody]

Diane Sawyer is not an imbecile, she's a newscaster, commenting.

What IS annoying is that damn tag to watch the Nigerian junk. I want to see the interview minus that. Susan Boyle is awesome!

[sunfighter86]

It is official, Diane Sawyer is an imbecile.

[Lostfaith1980]

I'm looking forward to seeing how susans future works out. Wether her career will sky rocket or fizzle out after a few months in the scene once audiences get bored.

Becuase lets face it. Audiences the world over have Attention Deficit and get bored very quickly.

So if susan can maintain a singing career in the spotlight of the television cameras for a year or two I'll be impressed. And secretly happy for her ^_^

[stella989]

Wow. Diane Sawyer. She's worse than Connie Chung.

[muminahmuminah]

Shes american, What do you expect?

[Vidcar1]

I disagree, as a Brit, I find the American news far more captivating and interesting to watch if I want to know about international affairs! Our news is dull and our presenters look depressed as hell haha.

[sunfighter86]

It just seems that the BBC has a "wider" view if world affairs. Unless American interests are involved, it does not get covered here. I understand that sensationalism is everywhere (thinking Jade Goody) but it seems to be at the forefront here, while anything truly news worthy takes a back seat, if it is covered at all.

[sunfighter86]

I should not have been so harsh with my words as far as Diane Sawyer is concerned, but unless memory fails me, she used to be a journalist. I don't know what she is now. This was a horrible interview.

[xz1979]

oh, my god, please don't let me see Diane Sawyer again! I will never ever watch good morning amercia, if she is still hosting

[stella989]

Goddamn, seriously, what kind of questions were those?? She SUCKS!

[EvolBob1]

I got the feeling that Diane Sawyer would be happier interviewing someone famous (in the traditional sense).

I thought the whole interview to be stiff and awkward. Much to my surprise (again) Susan Boyle handled these inane questions as best as anyone could!

Someone real soon is going to cotton on to the fact that *famous* wont suficiently describe this singer!

The only thing that matters is...

...she sings!!

Frequently!

A lot!

Everywhere!

[xz1979]

what a person Diane Sawyer is?!?!?!?! pretty ugly with some unknown motives

[knockedoutorphan]

Before the start, I worried for Ms. Boyle. But, it is the female moderator that keeps me sitting uneasily, feeling embarrassed for her.

The moderator is plastic and cannot manage to bring out her human side, as much as she apparently tried. She's been too deep in that plastic world for too long.

Ms. Boyle exhibits the simple sincerity towards life; an ability that seems easy to have, but judging by the moderator's struggle, it is an ability that, once lost, one has to work hard to regain.

[nguma3]

I love Susan so much. She brings back my faith in God and in people. I love her.

[Doksyy]

what a sad bitch, I live in west lothian. I cant believe that blonde slut has the audasity to ask her if she's been kissed.

FUCKING WHORE.

Susan is awesome, and no doubt she'll do a concert at our local center - haha i'll be going. Suck on that fans.

[guitarchick0506]

Diane Sawyer is a Jackass! Take a hint you dumb b--ch! "So I here you suffered from low self esteem, let me exploit that"

Susan Boyle is an exquisit singer. Good Luck!

[hydro560400]

i agree nice comment .....then the dumb bitch asked youve never been kissed???  sawyer is stupid

[kluke255]

Typical American interview. Ridiculous questions >_>

[spymaze]

Diane OMG you're so shallow.

[skyrere]

Diane Sawyer is such a CONDECENDING, snotty, STUPID, woman.

That News chanel needs an enema.

SUSAN BOYLE!!!

Voice of an Angel!

Beautiful lady, inside and out!

I look forward to your first album.

:D

[FOAMANTE2]

I can't stop watching Susan Boyle she has such confidence and a voice from heaven and I will be there to buy her first record album and I will go to her Concert here in America Thank You you tube this makes me soo happy and Diane Sawyer From Philadelphia Pa. USA The whole world loves Susan

[narm67]

Just sums it all up really...

Susan Boyle handled the questioning really well. Diane Sawyer asked questions in a patronising manner, and focused on her looks....shallow.

[albvad6688]

Pathetic, stupid questions, american blonde ignorance strikes back...

[redpenguin01]

What an awkward interview..

[Blucola]

I couldn't agree more. I found the questions to be rather offensive. And so did Susan, from her expression.

I think she's lovely, sweet smile, sunny attitude and classy.

[iluvdesmond]

Diane Sawyer-TERRIBLE INTERVIEW! Yikes! She asks her about depression,anxiety,bullies, kissing (ugh!), money, makeovers, dance. Not one question about her talent, perseverance, courage, her dream! Absolutely the worst interviewer. Love how she leaves Diane speechless re: her card from her sister. LOL

She told the Daily Record that she thought she looked like a garage :-). I think she's wonderful. I don't really care what she looks like-just let us hear her sing!
