Hey.... didnt she already sing this song over the weeks on this show? Or does she only have one sound? I was thinking she should close out the finals with a little Kayne West.or .Eminem.

No, Susan Boyle is no "one trick pony". She's been singing locally for most of her life, so she's bound to have quite a few more songs up her sleeve. However, it is common for contestants to perform in the finals the piece which got them on the show in the first place. Paul Potts, for example, sang "Nessun Dorma" a second time.
So first, Susan sang "I Dreamed a Dream" for her initial performance, which was the first video to go viral. For the semi-finals she sang "Memory" from *Cats*.
With Elaine Paige, the original Grizabella in London, showing interest in singing a duet with Susan, I doubt this will be the only song we hear from this gutsy gal.
As the judge said, Susan Boyle should be a real wake-up call to your cynicism.

Take note people: Underneath our souls all along we hunger for a extraordinary beautiful voice to knock us off our feet. Finally the heaven above gave us this innocent, naive, no voice training how to sing woman, to open her mouth and sing so pure that we got chills up and down our spine. Her voice stop us from doing what we were doing and listen. I finally said to myself, "Now that a voice to be hear." Here is woman who claim to flame is going to be alittle short, because she rocking 50"s and as we all know voice changes as we get older, so I'm very elated for her to finally get a chance in life to be in the spotlight, before she get old. Many of us don't even get that moment, we live and pass away without leaving a positive mark for the future generation to see. I know in my heart she will leave something wonderful in the world that we will never forget. Don't get me wrong I'm elated for Diversity for winning. Let's look at this way they young and they have a long career ahead of them. My best to them, very creative and innovating.

I sort of like Susan Boyle like all people who are in favor of British eccentricities and do NOT take them as real life. It all matches: her seclusiveness and bold counteraggressive shyness and the stunning voice that contradicts the whole appearance - life is better - once more! - than any artificial invention could manage to be....

Susan Boyle has a wonderful voice and an appealing biography. Even though she came in behind a "street dance" act, there are millions of us who look forward to her first CD, on which she will hopefully not only sing "I Dreamed a Dream", but also Louise Tucker's "Midnight Blue", with full orchestral accompaniment. I can't wait.

Susan sang very beautifully and deserves to win. Even though she came in second she is still the best singer and will be the superstar. A dance is a dance and its not the same as singing, thus she is still a superstar. She will now go on and make her millions because the world still loves her no matter what the negative media says - its a tall poppy syndrome. Good Luck Susan Boyle and we from different parts of the world will wait for the rellease of your cds. Lots of love and best of luck Susan Boyle. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In my book, Susan Boyle truly did win. She may not have won the competition, but she won the hearts of many people all around the world. Simon said it best. She truly could hold her head high. She should be very proud because she was awesome! She gave her very best performance. She not only dreamed her dream--she lived it. I would buy a cd of hers. What a powerful voice!

Susan Boyle has given us all a new sense of hope! She has awakened within us an enlivening of the dreams we have all dreamed within ourselves that can only be made reality with tenacity, faith and discipline. Each of us have had our own trials in life that have overwhelmed us. Tonight, through Susan, we rejoice in knowing we can make it trough our trials and keep looking ahead to brighter days through the encouragement and compassion we can give to one another. For all the kindness and love she gave to her ailing mother, I am sure her mother is looking down from heaven with the same tremendous gladness in her soul that Susan has given to each of our own spirits. May we all, through Susan, be inspired to help one another make our dreams our realities.

they, the show, took Ms. Bolye's raw talent to an attempt to make her what they thought was better, but in the end made Ms. Bolye something that she apparentely was not comfortable with. Shame on them. She has a gift that was probably "polished" too much. She was in her element with her first performance, loving a song and feeling it, then too much spit and shine made her uncomfortable with her efforts. I think ,if left to choose her own material, and feel it she still will go far.

Susan,
How anyone won over you just shows that marketing is more imporatant than shear talent.
I live in Calgary Alberta Canada and in one point in my life won the Royal Conservatory of Music for Canada for voice so I do know extreme singing talent when I hear it.
You have one of the most powerful voices I have ever heard in my life aong with perfect pitch.
You should have won this evening but unfortunately most people wouldn't recognize true talenet if it slapped them in the face.
I am confident even though you didn't win this two bit contest people know that you are the most truly talented person and will do even better than if you had actually come in first.
I am confident you will fullfil your dream and become a truly respected professioal singer.
Take care and I hope some time we will meet in the fruture.,

Not only do I believe that Simon was right in his comments, but I do believe that your mother was smiling down on you today as you "Dreamed a Dream" may that dream come true for you, I hope that the Queen will invite you to sing, if not look up our President here in the US, I am sure we would be honored to have you perform in the White House. Best of luck to you and keep on "Dreaming that dream.

I am overcome with Deep Emotion. Susan Soared With A Free Spirit. She got to see how people can destroy you and she, of course, didn't like what she saw. Her Spirit had to be quickened --- her gorgeous rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" made me cry and I tear-up each time I listen to her sing both songs. Sheer Beauty. Her performance tonight did come from a 'Quickened Spirit' and 'A Loving Heart.' Thank you Susan Boyle for THE GIFT YOU GAVE TO A WORLD THAT WAS INDEED WATCHING AND LISTENING. WE NEEDED TO HEAR YOU and WHAT WE HEARD 'QUICKENED OUR SPIRIT AS WELL --- and how we dealt with that was to 'CRY TEARS OF COMPASSION.' NAMASTE SUSAN BOYLE FROM WESTVILLE, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA.

How can anyone with a heart make such hurtful comments about someone they have never met. She has God given talent and has remained totally humble. Dancing is wonderful, no doubt, but where and how often can they perform? They can't record. She, hopefully will. And I pray that all of those judgmental small minded morons who are slamming her are NEVER graced with the beauty of her talent. They don't deserve it. Of course, they wouldn't want it either because those are the kind of minds that fuel hatred and anger. God is love, her voice is love.......try puttiing THAT in your miniature brain cells.

For me, Susan Boyle is a great singer with an amazing voice. If we look from her physical appearance, many people underestimate her because she is not beautiful or something else. But as we can see from this “Britains Got Talent” show, she can prove that not only people who have good appearance can be success to reach their dreams. Susan makes me realize that a quote “ DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER “ is true, because in our daily life we often judge people by their outer physical appearance.

Our dearest Susan Boyle, you are one in a million and you certainly captured all of our hearts and souls with your angelic voice. You bring tears to my eyes everytime I listen to your singing. You move me and I know you move everyone else in this world. God gave you an unbelievable voice, that, in these times of turmoil, erased all of our problems for a while. We love you dearly and may you have a beautiful fulfilled life, whether you win or lose this competition. Thank you, dear for making us feel wonderful even for such a short while. God bless you, our sweet Susan Boyle.

He gave you the magnificent voice, and He will see that it is used in a way to give Glory to Him first, to your great country Scotland/Great Britain and it will give you peace as you use it to cheer and comfort those who are fortunate enough to hear you sing. You certainly have been a blessing to my life and I congratulate you and wish you well. Continue to follow your dream!

Susan Boyle is a great talent, and the fact she came in 2nd, for goodness sake, doesn't diminish that talent.
She had nothing to lose the 1st time. She knew she had the voice to blow us away--and she did. The 2nd time, she had everything to lose. She didn't blow it completely with Memories, but it was a weak, nervous, sad performance. There were moments when her voice soared as in the first performance, but they were fleeting. And still she made the finals.
I couldn't even watch the 3rd performance because I was so disappointed that she sang the same song as the first time. She was unworthy of that cop out. There are dozens of songs she could have done justice. But Susan Boyle is from a little place in a collection of villages, and she'd spent much of her adult life isolated there, caring for her ailing mother. What could possibly have prepared her for the outpouring after that 1st performance? Or for the inevitable mean spirited backlash that followed.
Keep going, Susan.

Never, ever judge a book by its cover. If America could have voted, the others would never have had a chance! The Brits let her down for it truly was a dream of a life she will never have. Better, no doubt, than it was before. The lesson here is that when there are a number of people in one act, the more family and friends, call in. She had no family support and a small village that just didn't have the numbers to push her over the top where she truly belongs! Let's have a re-vote and let the Americans vote!! How about it?

She's got great pipes. But she needs to stop rushing. The judges overlooked that for various reasons I'm guessing, or maybe they don't care or even know. Having a stellar voice, and range, and tonality is important. Equally important though, in my opinion, is having a sense of time. Rushing those lines in "I dreamed a dream" really spoils it. She's so close to being stunning. But just spitting out verses with disregard for time is awful. She's gotta go back to basics and practice with a metronome.
In listening to that recording of "Cry me a River" I didn't notice her rushing. Maybe it was because she had a producer guiding her through it. I love studio recordings, even more than live ones, because they pay so much attention to detail - time, intonation, dynamics, improv, etc. It's the ultimate. Live is so hard to deal with. I'd guess that she was very nervous, though, in the live performance. And maybe the judges realized that. She's so musical, also, that she's not quite ready to deal with the crazy media world. That's OK though. She just needs a super agent that understands that, and works with her. Often times, the most talented singers are a bit "off" when it comes to dealing with other things. That's the price you pay for talent. It's not free. If it was that easy, everyone would do it. Great agents realize this and make accommodations. Rarely does someone come along with the whole package. Al Jarreau and Michael Jackson are examples of the "whole package" though even those guys needed to be guided.
But what's beautiful about music is the struggle. Everyone's struggling for greatness, and nobody ever quite achieves it. That's what magical - the never-ending search for perfection.

So first, Susan sang "I Dreamed a Dream" for her initial performance, which was the first video to go viral. For the semi-finals she sang "Memory" from *Cats*.

Meanwhile, prior recordings Boyle has made are turning up online, such as "Cry Me a River":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZoraCG3b6s
With Elaine Paige, the original Grizabella in London, showing interest in singing a duet with Susan, I doubt this will be the only song we hear from this gutsy gal.
As the judge said, Susan Boyle should be a real wake-up call to your cynicism.
Thats why dance groups are better...

Susan nunca dejes de cantar... el mundo te quiere
She has awakened within us an enlivening of the dreams we have all dreamed within ourselves that can only be made reality with tenacity, faith and discipline.
Each of us have had our own trials in life that have overwhelmed us.
Tonight, through Susan, we rejoice in knowing we can make it trough our trials and keep looking ahead to brighter days through the encouragement and compassion we can give to one another.
For all the kindness and love she gave to her ailing mother, I am sure her mother is looking down from heaven with the same tremendous gladness in her soul that Susan has given to each of our own spirits.
May we all, through Susan, be inspired to help one another make our dreams our realities.

How anyone won over you just shows that marketing is more imporatant than shear talent.
I live in Calgary Alberta Canada and in one point in my life won the Royal Conservatory of Music for Canada for voice so I do know extreme singing talent when I hear it.
You have one of the most powerful voices I have ever heard in my life aong with perfect pitch.
You should have won this evening but unfortunately most people wouldn't recognize true talenet if it slapped them in the face.
I am confident even though you didn't win this two bit contest people know that you are the most truly talented person and will do even better than if you had actually come in first.
I am confident you will fullfil your dream and become a truly respected professioal singer.
Take care and I hope some time we will meet in the fruture.,

Although you did not win the talent show tonight, I think that you have won far more than anyone realizes today. Not only do I believe that Simon was right in his comments, but I do believe that your mother was smiling down on you today as you "Dreamed a Dream" may that dream come true for you, I hope that the Queen will invite you to sing, if not look up our President here in the US, I am sure we would be honored to have you perform in the White House. Best of luck to you and keep on "Dreaming that dream.
I think you have a fabulous singing voice; the kind I have always wished I had. I am so thrilled that you did so well on Britain's Got Talent, but I am even more thrilled that you were able to share your beautiful God-given talent with all of the world. Cherish that talent and continue to share it will all of us. We are proud of you in the United States too!!!

Wait and see Susan Boyle in the future singing to the rest of the world, who loves and appreciates her!!!!
I am a firm believer in "God's Will" in the lives of His children. I feel he is leading, guiding, directing and watching you as you perform. He gave you the magnificent voice, and He will see that it is used in a way to give Glory to Him first, to your great country Scotland/Great Britain and it will give you peace as you use it to cheer and comfort those who are fortunate enough to hear you sing. You certainly have been a blessing to my life and I congratulate you and wish you well. Continue to follow your dream!
She had nothing to lose the 1st time. She knew she had the voice to blow us away--and she did. The 2nd time, she had everything to lose. She didn't blow it completely with Memories, but it was a weak, nervous, sad performance. There were moments when her voice soared as in the first performance, but they were fleeting. And still she made the finals.
I couldn't even watch the 3rd performance because I was so disappointed that she sang the same song as the first time. She was unworthy of that cop out. There are dozens of songs she could have done justice. But Susan Boyle is from a little place in a collection of villages, and she'd spent much of her adult life isolated there, caring for her ailing mother. What could possibly have prepared her for the outpouring after that 1st performance? Or for the inevitable mean spirited backlash that followed.
Keep going, Susan.
happiness for you; ANGLES are truly real and I seen it through your soul. When I meet Our
maker some day I truly hope to hear your voice as I go through pearlly gates in Heaven, God Bless you, with all my love David Farley Long Beach Ca
I Miss You Susan !
Anyway, I'll continue to do my part-

Go, Susan!
IF I PUT THE SOUND UP TO AS HIGH AS IT CAN BE ON MY COMPUTER, I SING ALONG WITH SUSAN AND MY VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL THEN......I CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY. SHE TOUCHED SOMETHING IN MY HEART THAT I DID NOT KNOW WAS THERE.
In listening to that recording of "Cry me a River" I didn't notice her rushing. Maybe it was because she had a producer guiding her through it. I love studio recordings, even more than live ones, because they pay so much attention to detail - time, intonation, dynamics, improv, etc. It's the ultimate. Live is so hard to deal with. I'd guess that she was very nervous, though, in the live performance. And maybe the judges realized that. She's so musical, also, that she's not quite ready to deal with the crazy media world. That's OK though. She just needs a super agent that understands that, and works with her. Often times, the most talented singers are a bit "off" when it comes to dealing with other things. That's the price you pay for talent. It's not free. If it was that easy, everyone would do it. Great agents realize this and make accommodations. Rarely does someone come along with the whole package. Al Jarreau and Michael Jackson are examples of the "whole package" though even those guys needed to be guided.
But what's beautiful about music is the struggle. Everyone's struggling for greatness, and nobody ever quite achieves it. That's what magical - the never-ending search for perfection.
