Singer Susan Boyle

So just who is this Susan Boyle that everyone is talking about anyway? The question seems to be on alot of peoples minds lately. If you search YouTube or Google Susan Boyle's name, you will find lots of recent news on the new singing sensation.

Apparently this little lady has been a hidden diamond for almost 48 years, living quietly amongst her fellow neighbors in Scotland. Her incredible talent was discovered recently when she appeared on the popular talent show "Britain's Got Talent", where she absolutely bowled the judges and audience over with her mesmerizing voice.

Coming out in a simple dress, no makeup and hair looking like she'd just taken a windy walk, Susan Boyle's appearance didn't cause anyone to take her very seriously at first. When she opened her mouth to sing however, you could see the looks of astonishment on the judges faces. Susan Boyle's voice not only gripped the audience but sounded like the voice of someone who had sung on the stage for many years.

Always one to cheer for the underdog, I have taken a fancy to this unpretentious,ordinary looking little lady with the voice of an angel. She reminds me of someones auntie, someone I could sit down to have a nice chat with or have a cup of coffee with. How her voice escaped serious notice until now is beyond me....

Without further ado, check out Susan Boyle's videos here on YouTube and weigh in on what you think. I think Susan Boyle may be the next biggest star next to hmmmm...Britney Spears? or Luciano Pavarotti?

Whatever the future holds for Susan Boyle, it sure looks good because she seems to not only charmed the masses with her voice but with her spunky little personality to boot.
