  • When I was seven I heard a beautiful singing voice coming from the bus station. I went to look. A beggar woman in rags sat beneath the clock. Her voice soared over the roar of the bus engines. At eleven o'clock the clock chimed. The beggar woman stood up and sang louder. She saw me and walked over to me, and was run over by the no. 72 bus arriving from Plymouth. No loss really, as her songs were sentimental crap sung in the style of Elaine Page.

  • Never understood the popularity of this women

  • holy mother..... cover that face up woman...

  • This is lovely and a pleasure to listen to. Susan has such a strong, vibrant, pitch-perfect voice, even while singing a cappella! Too bad we haven't heard this entire song. She is also a beautiful person, inside and out. Wishing her continued happiness and success!

  • haha she looks like a mangled troll 

  • This is over-hyped hipster bullshit

  • Is she sunburnt?

  • i love susan she is a real inspiration and a perfect singer, i just wish that women didn't interrupted her at the end of the song whistle down the wind, susan was on a role, then the reporter buts in.

  • Sigh...pretty is as pretty does. She may be plain, but at least she isn't auto-tuned and still manages to stay on pitch! As for as the criticism that she took the song too fast--of course--she was just singing it for the news show--and they still cut her off. Actually this is the first time I've noticed what a lovely, strong voice she really has.

  • How does a voice like that go unnoticed for all these years? The world has been deprived. The pity is that there are a great number of people like Ms. Boyle who just aren't in the right place at the right time. Heartbreaking.

  • @FromTheCarp There was an experiment where a man had to play the violin at a tube station and he got coins now and again, but no one really noticed it, he was just another busker.

    However, he was Josh Bell, a famous violinist and people pay hundreds of pounds to see him play live on stage and many people were listening to him play live with a chance of meeting him for free and they didn't realize.

    That is the reality. The best talent is not discovered.

  • foundation colour = wrong!!

  • OMG she's a shapeshifter

  • Amazing pitch.

  • she looks so nervous. but wow <3 I love this song.

  • Too fast :( sounds rushed

  • @Flickarounie - I agree.

  • WaaayTo quick, slow down but i like your voice

  • Do you realize that this was just a quick thing from a TV Interview. They asked her to perform a quick little song on the spot and she did this. Thus the pausing etc...

  • You've got to be kidding. A good voice but tempo, phrasing. Listen to this song with Andrew Llyod Webber at the Albert Hall. Susan doesn't come close.

  • Susan Boyle has an impressive voice, but to be quite honest, her rendition of Whistle Down the Wind does not impress me. It seems rushed and I don't feel any interperatation of the song in her performance.

  • It's like the anchor was trying to send her over the edge

    'no pressure or anything; just the whole world watching!"

  • She's not that great of a singer!! Sorry but I personally think she is over rated.

  • @EDDandAMELIA224 Just remember this is live, no proper mic other than the simple voice one any presenter uses on TV etc.

    Have you ever heard your favorite bands acoustic and live? Most CD recordings are so heavily digitally enhanced that when you hear them raw, they said horrible.

  • To be honest...she hasn't got a very good voice everyone just thinks she's amazing because she isn't attractive and was expected to be absolutely rubbish

  • @musicmad123 WHY DONT YOU THINK SHE HAS A GOOD VOICE?

  • @Destinyteen fair enough she hasn't had any vocal training, but it really shows, her voice is quite wobbly and she isn't always in time or at the right pitch, she's not bad but there are definately a lot of better singers out there.

  • The happy happy  monster show

  • You just ruined this song! Well done

  • Sung accompanied - wow! She keeps in key all the way. Good on you Susan!

  • Looks like a man in drag

  • SIMON AND AARFUNKEL

  • A bit to fast i think but still good!

  • shes not singing it properly... well, not as good as it is supposed to be sung, shes being too hasty and quick!

  • TOO FAST!

  • She is amazing, people. Phenomenal. :)

  • ok....nothing special , why so much fuss over this woman

  • ugly

  • Where is Susan from ?

  • no,i love the way susan sing

  • i love this song

  • Ask Tina Arena or any other singer to sing off spec like that and they'll say they need half an hr to prepare their voice. U idiots are judging people on their looks, why don't u post a video of u singing and lets see ur efforts. Ur obvious of low itteligence to come out with comments like that.

  • Well at least I can spell the word 'intelligence', unlike you..... I do not buy into the puerile dross peddled by Simon Cowell and co, I appreciate REAL singers, not the winner of some banal end of the pier 'talent' contest.

  • @GBDeadnation If picking up on a typing error was your only answer then you really are a sad person. Just because the only way she could be heard was on 'some banal end of the pier 'talent' contest' does not mean she is not a real singer and she didn't win it. I've seen the singers that you like and i can tell you for sure that they cannot sing without preparation or instruments like she can.

  • @artemis2000d Thanks for your comment. Thankfully the media hype surrounding this moose has all but fizzled out, so we no longer have to endure her (record companies) pitiful efforts.

  • Leave it to Tina Arena you crazy old boot.

  • Shit. I can sing better than that.

  • the only reason shes popular is because she looks like a buffalo

  • Y'know I think she was actually born in the Chinese year of the buffalo. It's a harsh comparison though!

  • I think you've hit the nail on the head. Fair play, she's made the most of what she has. What a clever chap that Cowell is, (also a C**T.)

  • I was AMAZED at how good she sounded here and in every interview she GRACIOUSLY sang for the reporters, just from where she was sitting, no practice, no back up music, I just love her.

  • Its alright, a bit rushed.

  • She is a ledgend when it comes to talent and she represents the UK as an amazing star. Well done susan!!!

  • She is incredible and I love her.

  • olive susan !!! bless her pointed little head.

  • As much as I like her, , , I don't think this was one of her best efforts.

  • quite nice - but not nearly as perfect as sarah brightman.

  • that's because this was done on short notice... without the rehearsal and technical equipment sarah brightman had... i would like to hear how Susan would have done with the advantages sarah brightman had (the producing, sound equipment, etc.)

  • but on stage susan boyle always HAD the best technical equipment.

    susan´s not bad, but you definitely can´t compare her to sarah brightman or other professional opera singers.

  • Why does it matter who's better than who? All that matters is what you enjoy listening to and the feeling that person gives you. Every time I listen to Susan Boyle I feel refreshed and happy. No offense but even though Sarah Brightman has a good voice, I've listened to her and think she's sooooooooooooooooooo boring!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could stand listening to a few of Sarah Brightman's songs but I couldn't sit thru a whole concert of her. Susan Boyle is more fun!!!!!!!!

  • that´s okay - and i think that´s the reason why your nickname is "susanboylefan91". = )

    i just like sarah brightman´s voice and performances better. I can´t do anything with Susan Boyle´s performances.

  • I did not like this at all. I hate her vibrato

  • She is lovely inside and out. She has

    so much talent that i'm gobsmacked!

  • @sghtes your just jealous that you can't be like her. Just remember, beauty is only skin deep, it's whats inside the heart that matters.

  • perfect voice....

  • Sing it Susan......way to go!!

  • whistle down the wind

    an inspiration song sung by an inspirational angel.

    best wishes with this production.

    a fan in Arizona, always!

  • Onya Sooz ... !!!

  • Wonderful Susan!

    Bravo. I salute you.

    Sings like an angel.

  • Watch out Susan Boyle fans for Susan's soon-to-be-released cover of Stairway to Heaven.

  • wow(!)

  • Ew I do not like this too nasally

    and too much vibratto

  • Señora es muy bella su interpretación, que gran regalo me hace con cada canción que le he escuchado, pero gran bendición la forma como usted imprime el mundo con su dignidad, gracias desde esta parte del mundo.

    Citlalli México.

  • Did you ever read/see

    "To Kill A Mockingbird"?

    There's just something SO sad and pathetic about someone who has to intentionally say mean things about someone else for no reason at all.

    What has Susan Boyle ever done to hurt anyone? All she's ever done is sing her heart out and make music for us to enjoy!

  • Go play in some other sandbox, Jnorth. Quicksand, preferably.

  • agreed.

  • Susan, you're a phenomenon. Don't listen to the nay-sayers. Everyone's got a right to their opinion, and mine is, you're gorgeous and I adore your singing!

  • i really don't know how people who have nothing good to say can be happy... haha

    Susan is sensational and I'm nuts over her Wild Horses

  • People claim all her misperfections, but you cannot deny that she truly has more to offer than a beautiful silicone blonde with perfect voice. She's not vain and not empty. That's why people love her. We missed true values. We miss people who sing from their hearts not for money. Whose music is mature and lived through.

  • to sceptics and all others: her singing techniques are nto perfect and her voice maybe not the voice of a century, but her voice is truly bright and inspiring. It;s not perfect teqhniques that make people fuss around.. Opera houses are full of great acadeic singers. It's the spirit you can feel in all her songs. she feels what she sings. It makes goosebumps not just due to the voice perfection or the look or whatever. There's a person behind the face, a story, a feeling.

  • did she sing in her 20's?? Do remember that Susan has mental problems(and it's very socially intelligent) so obviously she doesn't express a huge amount of emotion with her face...

  • hey another tone-deaf dummy!!

    you must work for one of those record lables that went under!

    no wait your insecure! thats is.

  • Why did I get a thumbs down on my previous comment? It's true...

  • oh i know, you think she sucks because

    YOU ARE TONE-DEAF!!!!

  • If you really feel that way about her, what are you doing on this site? Besides, she is human even though she has the voice of an angel and she could have had a good reason to snap if she kept being harrassed by people! Put yourself in her shoes you SOB!!!!!!!!!!

  • Correction, nicck. It was actually Shaheen Jafargholi, not a little girl Piers was saying could win the show when that incident occurred. Plus, that didn't really happen because Susan was in her room at the hotel after Shaheen's performance, not the common room. So, hah!

  • And you would know, how? I'm sorry that you, living in america, are completely gullible, but even her neighbours have had problems with her.

  • Susan has the voice of an angel!!!!! It gives me chills down my spine when she sings this song, especially on the high notes :)

  • Comment removed

  • I Agree! I Mean These Songs She Sings Are Brilliant And have Been Around For Ages!!!

  • Susan you comfort me every time I play this Whisper in the Wind, takes away all the lonliness & gives hope, love, and friendship. It is your soul that touches our hearts & your voice that carries your soul to us. You are beautiful!! Maybe someday we will meet who knows, that would be a dream.

  • Susan's singing voice is PITCH PERFECT. She sounds fantastic a capella!! And then she just takes my breath away when there's background music, I really enjoyed it when she sang "Memory" on the semi-final BGT round.

  • Its quite good considering it is through two cameras on a whim and no music. Very nicely on pitch.  There are not very many singers that can perform that well in that situation.

  • Qé chingón canta esta mujer :D !

  • Susan is incredible - there is no one better than Susan Boyle.

  • i agree with u sophiebabezxxx his voice is soo much better lol

  • haha not as good as john barrowman XD

  • She has got one of the lovliest voices I've ever heard. I cannot wait for her to come out with an album.

  • Nice voice, it has a slight vestige of Judy Garland's.

  • really lovely humble person what you see it what you get.The singing was lovely she is great there. Was that before or after the mauling by the British Tabloid Press?

  • yea...she does have amazing voice...but boring....

  • she isn't boring at all, many artists can be jalous of her voice

  • learn to spell before commenting, dimwit

  • When will she release her 1st original single?

  • OMG, and that was in her living room, no music, no prep, nothing.

    Amazing!

  • Why did that lady cut Susan off at the end?

  • Sounds good xp

  • Leave her alone. NO background computer /studio assistance. She was on Tv so totally imprompu............those who put so much pressure on her should feel remorse........

  • Quite fast....nervous?

  • she is amazin and i love this song ...go scotland!! she deserved to win but diversity was good as well but..GO SUSAN BOYLE!!!

  • She sounds AMAZING acapella!! She does great justice to every song that she sings, she deserves all of those 100M views! Go Susan!

  • You teach us what "beautiful" means. Thank you, you are.

  • she rules!!!!!

  • Susan, the media couldn't "tear you down after building you up," because they didn't create your popularity to begin with. It was word of mouth, just like JK Rowling.

    BTW, love this song.

  • lovely... from pakistan... i adore your simplicity and i request you to visit pakistan

  • Susan you are a joyful singer.Just do what u do and ignore critical people. Hope to hear more from you . :)

  • Susan God gave you to us to calm our nerves and cheer us with your voice. You have won when you share with us the voice God has blessed you with. I often search the youtube trying to catch a full song I hope to purchase a CD you put together soon. Plesas do not let sour and sad people rub us of the joy your voice give us me in particular. Mimi CA

  • Susan, you have a beautiful voice. Please don't let the contest or nasty media hurt you. Your voice was a gift from God to my ears. I need to hear you singing. Make CDs and iTunes singles. Get an excellent manager and a efficient body guard and You Go Girl!

    You might enjoy vocals for animation. I am a singer too anf 57 years old. I am here to tell you nothing fell off yet! You are going to come out of this exhaustion okay, trust me, you will. In the meantime I'll be praying for you. Marjohn

  • Wow!!!!

    Beautiful!!! =) :)

  • she is so beautiful inside and out

  • LOL definitely not out

  • you probably go for men anyway,

  • You people just like being mean and nasty don't you? It must be hard being perfect, what a terrible burden for you.

  • I bet Sarah Brightman wouldn't do much better without expensive recording equipment to help her along. And you say her singing was harsh and hurried? Well gee, what a surprise - she was being interviewed from across the other side of the world for a national US television program, under great pressure to sing beautifully because of all the attention she has received, and all you can do is criticise.

  • ur just a prat who do not appreciate good talent , have u ever heard ur own voice i bet ur voice is even worse than sledge hammer may be like a broken drum!! least she can sing despite the fact she dont have any good looks she got beautiful voice

  • My heart is trembling whenever I hear her singing...

    What a happiness to hear this.

    Brilliant

  • Susan's voice is pretty, but I prefer Sarah's version more, her voice is much more high-pitched. You know, soprano. Susan's voice would also sound very nice with instrumental accompaniment to this.
