Susan Boyle's first single ever released!!!
Cry me a river

Susan Boyle's first single ever released!!!

But the Record can reveal she made her first recording back in 1999, when she sang blues ballad Cry Me A River for a charity CD.

Only 1000 copies of the disc were ever produced, but weve got hold of the long-forgotten recording and its now on our site. A showbiz insider said: This is a real coup for the Record. The whole world would have wanted to find this.

People will be scrambling to get their hands on this CD. They will be like gold dust soon.

Susan, 48, of Blackburn, West Lothian, has gone from obscurity to worldwide fame in less than a week after her amazing Britains Got Talent debut.

Its all a far cry from 1999, when Susan recorded her track for the charity compilation CD at Whitburn Academy, where X Factor winner Leon Jackson went to school.

The Millennium Celebration disc, which was partly funded by Whitburn Community Council, was the brainchild of local newspaper editor Eddie Anderson.

He launched a search for unsigned acts to take part. And as soon as he heard Susan at the auditions he knew he had found something special.

I was amazed when she sang, Eddie said. It was probably the same reaction as everyone had last Saturday.

Susan was exactly the same then as she is now. She has a fabulous and unique talent.

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and

Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river...over you...

  • This is utterly humbling. Yet so very encouraging. Thanks Susan. There must be a reason why you've been hidden all these years.

  • I think she had not been given a chance, even 10 years ago, she recorded, and went into oblivion!!

  • wow!!!!!!!!!!! one of me favorite songs, just listen.

  • I like it too!!

  • If she was beautiful would people doubt the voice matched the person? Why would this not be Susan Boyle?

  • It's her, according to The Daily Record, which found one of the only 1,000 copies made!!

  • What an absolutely beautiful voice. Susan doesn't have to look like Marilyn Monroe to be a star. She has that quality just as she is. If you watch the video where she sings Whistle Down the Wind, she really looks cute. It's her personality shining through. I'm looking forward to your first album, Susan. You're a doll with an angel's voice!

  • There is a God. He looks down and he is pleased with what he has created. Let us all make him proud.

  • What a voice... what an angelic voice...... she gives me goosebumps

  • Dziekuje !!!

  • Bardzo lubie to wykonanie!!!!

  • Esta es la canción mejor interpretada, una voz única, como Barbra Streisand, ambas son extraordinarias, sin llegar a ser imitación, porque es auténtica.

    Susan Boyle es simplemente fantástica...su voz me transporta.

  • wow elle chante drolememt bien cette femme merveilleuse merci

  • I could listen to this all night, just beutiful

  • Average singer. Really, don't know what all the hypes about!!!. Maybe i'm wrong but she is going to be a right pain in the arse for Simon. If she had to go to the Priory because she couldn't handle things, that shows that she will not be around long.

  • am i the only one who dont think shes as good as shes made out to be?

    the only reason people rant about her is coz she looks like a used brillo pad and ya expect her to sound bad.
