I think she did. What made her performance so powerful that she got a standing ovation is that she was very focused and unfazed by the judges and audience. She had a goal and she was focused on that. She wasn't even waiting or thinking of what the judges were to say after her delivery, because she began to exit the stage after blowing everyone a kiss. Too many things to learn from her and her performance. Jef and all, do you think, that aside from distracting the audience, she established rapport immediately? I think she did.

For her voice, and for the whole phenomenon that's ensued. The 'dream' thing. Jef, what about Tiny Tim? I agree with Jeannie, she picked the right song.

Jef, what about Tiny Tim?

Give her a recording contract and a tour schedule to go with that hairdo and I'll take her. RD As Scottish Old Maids go, she’s relatively hot with a makeover.

One can be successful or influential if he or she has conviction about her service or product or personal principles. Faith truly is key. At age 47 I am sure Susan Boyle has an idea of how people react to her and it is clear that she has overcome that, at least on stage. She obviously made a decision to step out in faith and claim her place in the sun. Kudos to the mother who raised her. The best thing a parent can give to a child I think is good self-esteem. Music may have a played a part in this too, but that's another story. Another good one Jef!
