WOW!!!! she has an amazing voice... definitely have tears in my eyes... WOW!

She sounded pretty incredible with that song. Simon was hilarious w/ his intuition too. ;p Her 47 looks, mm, kinda 57'ish...which I suppose is perfectly acceptable in her part of the woods.

amazing from the first note. it's even more powerful with her appearance and the audience's initial reception. fantine may not have been as dowdy, but when she sings this song, she too is shunned and ragged looking. i'm glad the similarities end there and that susan has kept on dreaming.

WOW! She has an amazing voice.

WOW!!! I have watched that 3x.

Followed the link ~ worked perfectly ~~~ STUNNINGLY GRAND voice she has!!! Loved the look on nasty ol' Simon's face early in her performance ~~ PRICELESS!!! :D

Indubitably!!! :D

I watched it on Sat too she's brilliant. Everyone was shocked! Yeah think she does look older than her actual age.

I watched it twice =)

very nice

I got chills. Absolutely AMAZING and WOW! I also loved her positive attitude and the stunned looks on the judges' faces when she first started singing. Good for Susan!

i loved this.. it was absolutely beautiful.

I watched this several times and it's brought tears to my eyes each time. Stunning voice, very moving.

Susan was featured on the CBS evening news earlier this evening :)

I was surprised too Jaine, and I knew a surprise was coming. You can just picture this woman in a pair of wellies out on the bogs doing whatever they do out there. She's a good sort, self-deprecating, and then knocks it out of the park. People really do seem to go there to mock the performers. I never saw that show or the American version or American Idol. Seems brutal from the clips I've seen. But it gave this woman a new career, I'm sure. I think Simon was saying - ka-ching. He produces a few of the performers I read.

Oh, and I cried too.

I know, Jaine. I was really touched by this kind. soul. Reminds me of a Bible verse that anyone could appreciate: "Man looks on the outside, but the Lord looks on the heart." Have a great weekend! I will be in grad school...don't feel like going :( Oh well, have to.

I couldn't believe this either....

Tears flowed in our office for some as we watched. She's awesome!

I saw this clip on a couple of entertainment shows on TV: "Extra" and "Access Hollywood." She is truly amazing...my aunt saw this, too, and hypothesized, "Can you imagine just what she could have done if she had been in the business sooner?" Mind blowing!

i saw its news in train TV yesterday!! awesome!!!
