Angels4 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) I've watched her you tube video about a thousand times and each time i'm left blubbering and with chills. *edit by Cinnamon - sorry but You Tube link removed due to bad language in the comments* Edited April 17, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feemcg Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Something else to get me in tears.....I'm crying at everything these days This is amazing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Isn't she.......and very likeable with it. I Sky plussd it and keep having to re watch it. That high note is amazing and the looks of rapt attention on the judges faces after their initial surprise are a joy to watch. I hope the powers that be don't give her a makeover.

miffy Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 just watched this on the link.......amazing has she been singing prior to this, she sounds like shes been taught some techniques....not that I'm an expert though just wondered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonix Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I hope they DO give her a makeover!! She scared me a little on the first time and i think that she particular shade of beige she was wearing was not flattering at all! Anyone would feel a but more confident knowing they'd had their makeover done by professionals!!! As long as they dont try and dress her inappropriately and keep some sense of herself, im all for the makeover!!! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Is that really her singing ? That's giving me the shivers . I was hoping to hear her sing something else (I keep playing the BGT song ). I like that she's obviously quite a fiesty wee lassie . (I've just read that she made that when she was 37 - why wasn't she discovered back then ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I didn't see Britain's got talent, but mum told me to watch her on you tube. I watched her last night & I got a lump in my throat at her singing ' I dreamed a dream in time gone by'. Absolutely beautiful! She deserves to win as she is a normal lady. I'd like her tidied up a bit - a better dress, like an evening dress & maybe some nice court shoes. Her hair - I would s"Ooops, word censored!"e back the sides & make it look like an 'up do'. I wouldn't give her a total makeover, just tidy her up. She is so lovely! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 She worked in her local pub and has been singing karaoke......what a waste! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 She is fae bonnie Scotland and we are so proud of her up here = she is just wonderful and the goose bumps when you listen to her are there every time. I hope they dont spoil her but the eyebrows the hair and the dress need tp be addressed as she would be stunning in colours instead of beige. Tidy up the brows and a slight hair change but nothing drastic - love to see her again then. Will love her anyway whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbb Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 She's brilliant isn't she. Makes me proud of being Scottish . As I've always said, you should never judge a book by its cover. It was a lovely article about her in the Daily Mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 What irritates me is how so many people seem surprised that she can sing...like only the gorgeous have a corner on talent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) That is true . My OH commented that if a beautiful 20 yr old girl sang like that, it wouldn't even make the local news, let alone worldwide .

missuscluck Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Very true. I have to say it did make me cry when I watched it. Stunning voice. I hope she does very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 What irritates me is how so many people seem surprised that she can sing...like only the gorgeous have a corner on talent! Maybe that is what is disturbing me about the whole thing. For some reason I feel very uneasy about this story. I think it mentioned in the Daily Mail that the lady had learning difficulties and I just hope that people don't take advantage of her. Part of me is also disturbed that people were expecting her to be up there for entertainment value for the wrong reasons and it says something about us that we were all so surprised that she came out with such a good voice. I am honest enough to say that I would probably have been one of those people had I watched the original broadcast. I don't actually like these sort of programmes and find them quite cringeable. Those of you around last year will remember that I know "Betty" who sang a bit of an off colour song on the X-Factor and I found that pretty cringeable too!

susanbb Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I know exactly where you are coming from jlo. I only hope she's got true friends around her to support her and look after her. She'll certainly need it in this world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alih Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I hope they don't change her at all - she is the proof if ever there were doubters that talent has absolutely nothing to do with the way you look and I love the fact that this programme, which is watched by lots of youngsters who are brought up on a diet of body image ruling supreme, is teaching them something different. I hope she wins and isn't exploited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Lovely voice that gave me goose pimples... that'll teach the sceptics to snigger! It was worth it just to see the look on Cowell's face, and even old Botox-chops managed to smile around her frozen bits A true 'Naif' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so cynical of those programmes that I can't help thinking that they knew damn well that she was going to have a great voice and were putting the surprise on. Perhaps I am just too much of a Grumpy Old Woman!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
