She is remarkable, but did she tell a little white lie?!?!? :wink:

Loved seeing the faces soften up when she opened her mouth!!

Loved it!

Oh that guy was great! If I remember correctly, he won that year didn't he? I wonder how his career is going now.

I love it when sheer talent overcomes all the bullshit expectations about looks and age. Good on her for going out and wiping the sneer off Simon's face.

Yep, I loved seeing that, too.

Her story and that part of that video is going to be on ABC News in the next half hour.

Posted: **Wed Apr 15, 2009 8:49 am**

Very inspirational...a story that teachs so much. As the saying goes...don't judge a book by it's cover.
I think she's awesome.. not only her voice is but the beauty she has inside shines thru to the outside..an all around lovely lady.

Posted: **Wed Apr 15, 2009 9:41 am**

Had chills the entire time she was singing....simly amazing and jaw dropping!

Posted: **Wed Apr 15, 2009 10:15 am**

It made my mum cry. :cry:

The idea that she was all alone depressed and run down by bereavement over the loss of her parents, a frumpy virgin at the age of 48 with only a cat named pebbles for company and only inspired to sing again after the news that the competition was in her area is a very poignant story.

That is a very sad, and touching story. They ought to fly her here, and have her on that extreme make-over show. That would be awesome for her, and would make for a great show! I wish her the best. :wink:

Beautiful! Thanks for posting that!

Just shows there a lot of lonely people out there.
Nobody spares them a thought.

I hope she gets a lot out of doing the show, I really do.

Just wanted to give her a hug.
And you could see as the song went on just how much enjoyment she got out of the applause and the cheering.

I heard that he has had a number one album in 24 countries.

Posted: **Thu Apr 16, 2009 12:44 am**

That was incredible! Good on her for giving it a try, that kind of a voice would be a shame to keep silenced.

Posted: **Thu Apr 16, 2009 1:37 am**

Great talent and Worth watching. She really surprised and inspired everyone.

That was incredible. Her voice seemed effortless.

Makes you wonder what she's been doing for 30 years that kept her from getting a shot at a singing career. It wasn't marriage or kids from what she said so... :shock:

?

Posted: **Thu Apr 16, 2009 2:59 am**

I'm dying to see this video now since I keep reading about it.
Saw a news story and then this thread...
...but either my coworkers need to depart or I need to wait until I go home. :lol:

That's a good question. She has obviously spent considerable time working at her craft. Sometimes it's all about the packaging, and maybe she just didn't "fit the image". You saw the reaction of the audience and the judges before she started singing.

Posted: **Thu Apr 16, 2009 4:50 am**

She's from West Lothian (Lodainn an Iar). Sounds like some place in Middle Earth. No wonder no one has heard of her until now.

Posted: **Thu Apr 16, 2009 5:13 am**

Much thanks for posting this Sulcero!

Who else has played this clip repeatedly now? I sure have several times and her voice has put goose bumps on my arms and she puts a smile on my face everytime!

Posted: **Thu Apr 16, 2009 5:21 am**

I've played it several times myself. I loved her choice of songs...that last verse says alot to me!

Posted: **Thu Apr 16, 2009 5:29 am**

On ABC World News last night they said the video had had three million hits, with one million in one day yesterday. It's now up to over six and half million views today.

I think her voice would be great on a movie soundtrack.

Posted: **Thu Apr 16, 2009 5:31 am**

Hoooo-leeeee craaaap. :shock:

She is...

wow.

I absolutely LOVE the look on Simon the minute she started singing!! That was AWESOME.
It was clearly a look of "Omg, what the shit!?"
