Video: Susan Boyle - Singer - Britains Got Talent 2009

This lady is astounding! What is more fun is to watch the faces of the cynical types change when she begins to sing: priceless!

From CNN who finally had a better version that was not disabled for embedding:



From dailymotion.com is the longer 7 minute version that was disabled for embedding on YouTube for who knows what reason. What I like about this longer version is that it shows the audience's and judges' reactions before AND after she begins her song. It also continues on to the after performance interview with Susan. Watching the heckling judges and audience eat crow was probably why this video went viral on the internet. No one likes to be judged harshly or wrongly.
