Isn’t she lovely? Isn’t she wicked? I think we needed her.
I don’t care if this is one of those “good television” moments that people like me are supposed to sneer at.
I am of the opinion (not a very humble opinion) that few things are better than a joyous woman with a sad song in her. Somebody needs to get on their game and write a novel about this already.

I blogged about this a few days ago. Their dismissive attitude before she’d even done her bit made me furious. The link you gave didn’t work unfortunately so I found it again here because…..
The girl in the audience (1:24) ? Someone need to give that little madam a slap.
Urrrrgh, embedding disabled – going to use yours now.
You shouldn’t pay attention to the haters – she got the last laugh! 😉
Yeah, you’re right. It just ticks me off no end that the ones mocking are invariable not good enough to mock their target’s shoes….but isn’t that how all bullies operate?
LOL I meant ‘lick their target’s shoes’.
Always ensure brain is in gear before engaging the keyboard! 😛
I’m a sucker for Cinderella/Ugly Duckling fairy tale stories, and when I read about this in our German newspaper (which compared her to Paul Potts), I immediately checked out YouTube to see what it was all about.
It’s interesting to see that a similar situation involving two very different people invokes a different reaction in me – Paul Potts moved me to tears, Susan Boyle has me laughing triumphantly with her. What a gal!
That was amazing! I had heard about it and I wanted to see it. As soon as she started singing, I literally burst into tears.
I. Don’t. Fraking. Cry. EVER.
But damn, I just felt the swell of emotion because she proved all of them wrong. It was so satisfying! There was a lot of power in that tender song. Just, wow. She was awesome and she totally had me at the hip shake.
I think she’s awesome. I just wish someone would give the coup de grace by getting rid of the asshole judges/attitude for once and for all.
Thanks for visiting my blog and it shows up in your widget of “Possibly Realted Blogs too! We all need a “feel good” television moment, but they found a 12 year old kid for this week so I guess we will now have to sneer again.

Ugh! Maureen Callahan from NY post is claiming Simon Cowell made this whole thing up. NY post is a publication known for it’s journalistic integrity *sarcasm*
Oh the charming, charming NY Post.
