Susan is expected to be perfoming again on the BGT Tour tomorrow after taking some much needed rest from the busy schedule.
Sunday sees the Tour move to Wembley Arena where there are two shows (1.30pm and 6.30pm GMT). We will add videos and pictures from both performances as soon as we get them; hopefully some of the video makers will have seen Teesiel's uploads and provide members with a special treat.
FORUM UPDATE: We have noticed that their is a BIG need to clear up the blog comments and the upcoming forum should solve this problem. We should be able to launch the forum in the next couple of days where there will be lots of categories to voice your LOVE for Susan. Let's keep this blog post possitive, we understand that this is the only place to comment at the moment and everyone wants to share their views.

Thanks, Paul. You do the best job herding cats!
RE: the cat rant -- Here's my analysis: If there isn't a picture of it, it didn't happen. The story goes that Susan was on an interior balcony, screaming at the top of her lungs for Pebbles. So, you mean to tell me that there wasn't a single person in the hotel with a cell phone camera or video recorder? In these times, that just isn't plausible. And, given how much a photo or video of Susan ranting would be worth, I just don't believe it wouldn't be out there in one or more of the tabloids. I repeat: If there isn't a picture, it didn't happen.

I really think this tour is both good and bad for Susan. Good in the fact that she is actually having an opportunity to "rehearse" in front of a live audience without being recorded and bad in that it has to be exhausting following the rigors of the competition. She appears to be a real trouper and hanging in there til she completely gives out and thankfully recharges her batteries.

Tommy said it all!! The most important thing is that Susan is fit and rested for these demanding tour performances, should she choose to participate.

One final "cat rant" comment. This seems suspiciously like the tabloid was searching for something negative to say and decided to rerun the episode which was "alleged" to have been done earlier. I think there's way too many people with way too much time on their hands and very negative, hurtful thoughts.
It didn't pass the smell test for me and, I suspect, for many of you.
The fact that Susan excels each previous performance speaks well for her stability and desire to make her mum proud. The Canadian interview showed she was a quick thinker and sincerely humble. I think that's the real Susan.

@tooncesmom:---I find it fascinating that so many of us have that same experience. Susan's voice,---in fact her whole persona,---touches something deep inside all of us in such a way that we all have the same reaction. It's like a cathartic release of some kind, just waiting to be set free. Susan is the key that sets us all free,

I think Susan has figured out my friends that she will do this on her time and her way...she wants to thank her countrymen for voting for her by performing in as many shows as she can..but it has to be rough on the vocal cords..so she takes a break... BGT shouldn't have scheduled so many so fast..Susan will be okay she made this commitment and she will see it thru and then she will go on to bigger and better things..it is just that we have Susan withdrawals when she doesn't appear..but as she says that is a good thing ...all good things come to those who wait..! and she also said nae crap this time..! hugs Kat Florida

Once Susan performs again--and looks like it's to be Sunday the 21st after all, hopefully both shows (and if not both, maybe just the evening one?)--there'll be plenty of 'positive' blogging going on here. No more silly stories about tabloid accounts of 'cat rants' etc.
Anybody else realize what a privilege it is, being able to watch videos people make (I think it's technically not legit to do so...) of Susan's BGT tour performances? I've never witnessed anything like it; I do feel like I'm being offered forbidden, delicious 'treats'.
As to what sassyone commented on earlier: I hope Susan isn't being forced to actually record the demos yet on her 'days off' during this tour. To think about the songs, maybe 'rehearse' them mentally or whatever--but not go into the studio yet to produce them. Well, unless she wants to, and it's actually her own idea...

Thank you, Paul. I throw you Big Susan Kisses!
Today, I planted four window boxes on the deck with lovely flowers while I listened to Susan sing. I thought of you all and dedicated all the lovely flowers to Susan so when I am on the deck, she will be thought of at all times with each blossom. Because Susan represents all the beautiful flowers in the world combined. True Beauty.

Hi all. Upon re-watching the Cloeup edinburgh shows- thanks to LISA- I was stunned again by how VERY beautiful Susan looks and of course, sings perfectly both songs...something is going on with her- of course we have NO clue as to what it is- but, I am also a woman of a certain age, and I have my musings as to what is going on with her...let's just say, I think it is more than exhaustion.. something more personal. I think i know what it is. But. I do not want to speculate here and be slammed

It's great that Susan has been able to get some much-needed rest before her London performances. She's going to give yet another brilliant performance tomorrow night, as she always does. Even when it seems she can't possibly sing any better, she always manages to top herself. I can't wait to hear Susan's CD; no matter what songs she chooses to sing, we can expect an amazing performance from her.

In addition to a full array of English-language forums, shouldn't there be at least one forum for each of the other languages spoken by a substantial number of Susan's fans? (I've noticed a few posts in French, Spanish, and Dutch.) Wouldn't it help to strengthen Susan's world-wide fan base for this site to be a place where folks who speak languages other than English can best express themselves in their mother tongues? Paul is looking for Forum Moderators. Shouldn't native speakers of languages other than English be appointed to moderate language-specific forums?

Well now I will tell you a little story.
On April 14th at around 6pm I got back from work, and as I was passing by the dog’s house (basset-hound called Pepper) I heard my daughter (Gabriela 3 years old, she was inside the dog’s house) singing "and the lions lalalalala", I thought she had learned a new song at school, so I went in and asked my wife if it was so.
She took my hand and practically pulled me to the computer, clicked on UTube and there it was Susan Boyle!!!! I stood there absolutely transfixed by that voice, watching this incredible little lady singing I dreamed a dream.
My daughter came running (with the dog) and said “Daddy, Susan….and the lions lalalala”
Since then, every night just before reading her a story, she comes with me to the computer to watch and listen to Susan…. And the lions lalalalalala.
So I joined this global village and became a susanite!!!!

In regards to sassyone, she is thinking what I thought all along. If you look at the tours that she has missed and those she performed at, you will see that the ones she performed at were more advantageous for her: her "return"; her native Scotland; now London, her "big time" city. Meanwhile, Susan must be planning her CD while she is resting her VOICE for the CD. Go Susan!

I'm just throwing it out there, not saying she has done this, it's like others have said speculation.

But with fans searching your hotel and banging on your door you are not going to get much sleep nor be able to summon the energy to perform to the best of your ability...

Thank you so much for reining in that huge blog. The idea of a forum is wonderful. We all need a place to express our thoughts and feelings about our wonderful Susan!!! I sincerely hope she is well rested and ready for tomorrow's performances. Can't wait to get news/ pics/video of them. I hope that Max Clifford's email box has been flooded with our emails concerning the poor PR efforts on behalf of Susan.

She'll get it eventually, Tommy. There's probably a mountain of fan mail sitting there in Blackburn, waiting for her return. But a special "packet," such as yours probably is, will stand out from the rest. Hard to be patient, though, I know!! And there's also the possibility that she got it but hasn't yet had the chance to view it. I get the feeling things aren't especially up-to-date, technically speaking, in Blackburn!!-------(c: Oh, well.

I traffic in words, but for the last 10 weeks, I've be unable to articulate why Susan has the impact on me -- and so many others -- that she does. If it were intellectually, analytically, or (in the philosophical sense) logically-driven, I would have been able to capture it by now.
I've been unsuccessful for a very good reason: We feel Susan's impact in the gut, not the head. It is purely an emotional, empathetic connection. Such connections are to be prized more than any other.
I want Susan to feel our love, but I don't want her to be overwhelmed by it. When we express it, there has to be a touch of whimsy, so that she knows that: (1) we're in her court, wholeheartedly, and (2) we take joy from what she gives.
I renew my request for a "Free Susan" movement. It has the touch of whimsy that, based upon what we've heard from her, she would get a kick out of.
Seriously, guys: Let's take it as our mission to defuse all of the seriousness and nastiness that has surrounded Susan over these last few weeks. Let's help her have fun again!

@Marie-Fan Forever Canada - You seem to be fluent in both English and French. What about francophones who fear that they'll make fools of themselves if they try to express themselves fully in English? There's nothing to stop anglophones from reading comments in the proposed French-language forum. (For example, I read French fairly well; but, I would be most reluctant to comment in French.)

patriciaart got the stuff i was thinking correct! Yep- first of all, The "change"- i started having panic attacks when I was 47- BIG TIME- i though i was having a heart attack, actually- it was horrible!! I still have 'em tho i am on Seritonin uptake meds- I still have them!
The other thing was that I really read between the lines when Susan did her little Jig during the Semis in total public view, and no one can deny she said "Piersy baby this is for you" this is on record on national televison and she suposedly kissed him that same night, tho I suspect it was mutual-- after all, his girlfriend wrote about it on i think it was May 26th, that they were locked into a passionate embrace.
I personally think ( speculation of course) that Susan had more than a little crush on Mr. Morgan. I also bet that he calls her DAILY also...maybe just to get her on AGT- he has said he wants her on it. Very confusing stuff for a small town girl. Just my humble opinion, and one day we will know- I just want her to be happy!!

This link will bring you to Simon’s article in Mail Online website. I posted my response (included below) and they never published it. So I decided to bring my response to Susan’s fans over here, to make sure Simon to know, we are watching how is treating our sweetheart Susan.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1194302/After-Britains-Got-Talent-backlash-Simon-Cowell-finally-admits-Sorry-I-did-make-mistakes.html
Thank you Simon, for discovering Susan Boyle for us.
Maybe show competitions should have certain regulations in order to meet some age or mental conditions, but who is going to watch them if chances to find diamond (read: talent) would be narrowed to zero?
But all in all I would say that the only participant in BGT you are still missing is Susan. I cannot believe you’ve been so short of view not to realize that she is way different from all participants of the show. Let’s say you did not appreciate her talent personally, but you could see that her fame is instantly growing, so the fame of your show, and not otherwise.
So what would you do to your child if you find him playing on highway? You would probably be real quick to get him out of trouble, wouldn’t you? Susan is your show child, and she found herself on highway of people’s maniac attention from the day one! And you actually did not do anything during first weeks of her madness exposure to the world. Susan did not realize where she is, but you should, because you know what fame is and how it might damage regular person’s life.
I wish to say thank you again, that you care for Susan now. If she would be able to activate her whole potential, she could make the people around the world a little bit happier. And from my point of view that should be worthy of your entire career in the entertainment business.

Dear ammo and others - If we are a "village," it's certain that each of us won't feel a connection with all of the others. That's fine; we're just reflecting the rest of the world around us. All that really matters is that we treat each other with the respect befitting each creation of God. Let's -- none of us -- be worn down by others. Let's -- all of us -- treat each other with the respect and love that each of us craves and all of us deserve.

They found that the lab technicians were becoming to attached to the rats and that the tabloid writers would do things that the rats wouldn't.

@terijay , Just to be clear on my comment. I'm disappointent with this story going spreading and each time they add new details. So far if you put all the stories together you have Susan getting out of the car,running to the revolving doors,getting stuck ,running to the balcony and screaming for her cat while pulling up her shirt ,scratching her stomach and then climbing up the fire escape. What we we read next. Meanwhile all we see is a lovely calm lady singing on stage.

I figured out pretty quick that the kiss was a mutual thing....what guy that DOESN'T want to be kissed needs at least five seconds (the time he stated in his blog) to get himself dis-entangled from a woman's clutches???? Yep, me thinks his interest in getting Susan on AGT may have more than a professional motivation....

I would really love to read a comment from Susan herself about this fansite: what does she think of it, does she read the comments, her future or immediate plans etc. I too like viewing the first 3 performances over and over.

I hope she gets to shop and do some of the things she needs and wants to do. Hey, a 2-day stint in a spa would be great for her…..:-)

This new comment thread is like wading in a bowl of ice cream. Come on, guys. I think by now you're familiar enough with my comments that I can't be labeled a negative contributor. Perhaps a little salty at times. But I am an adult and I like to sink my teeth into an adult dialogue, especially one that may help Susan, such as that leading to a lot of e-mails sent to Susan's handlers which may do her a lot of good.
Well, I was a 60s activist, so that explains where I am coming from. But I like sophisticated banter that I can chew on or goof on, and there are a lot of sophisticated people who post here and I want them to be free to speak their minds. We are not just cotton-headed cheerleaders or revival meeting clones.
What are we going to talk about next, recipes for blueberry muffins?

Howdy RuthF,
Well, first off, sorry it took me so long to catch up with the outfit...I was out on the South forty nursin' some critters. But, let's see, you asked would it be historically accurate to refer to ourselves as Susan's
Posse?
Sure seems to me like it would. Mighty big posse too
when ya think about it...over 23,200 of us...all ridin' for Susan.
Yep...I'd say that would be "historically accurate"...
and if I was the British Tabloids I'd be anticipatin' mor'n a little backlash! You know, those critters ain't
likely to print our responses to their garbage but somebody in their outfit has to be readin' those responses...so let's let 'em know how we feel...
The way I figure it there aint but one bad guy in this
whole thing...and that's the British Tabloid media.
So, saddle up pards...we're ridin' for Susan...doin' everything we can to help her achieve her dreams. If the
bad guys get in the way...there's mor'n enough of us to
help'em figure out they better get out of the way.
Might be a long trail up ahead...fill your saddlebags...and your canteens...and, uh, bring a rope...
you never can tell when we might need one...
Saddle up. Let's ride!

randma- here is the quote from Celia Warda (sp) May 26 after her BF kissed Miss Boyle
*As if having to leave the festival behind wasn't bad enough, I returned to reports that my boyfriend – a judge on Britain's Got Talent – had been unfaithful. It happened on Sunday night, backstage, when he passed 48-year-old Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle on the stairs: minutes later, the two were caught in a passionate embrace.
"She kissed me," squealed Piers, as we sat together grimly later that night, trying to establish whether we could move past it. "It was beyond my control." But I know the Susans of the world: with their little jigs of delight and ingenue attitudes, they're the deadliest breed of all.

If Susan makes an appearance on AGT, I think it will probably be in the finale or close to it. If the ratings for this show increase, it will be due totally to Susan Boyle so of course they want her. It would be wonderful to actually be able to see her perform here but only if she wants to and quite frankly, I am not sure she will. In truth, why should she except to please the millions of us who are fans in the US?

Just can't stand that Good Housekeeping/Reader's Digest stuff (and I'm a good cook--but not so good on dusting and vacuuming). I think our discussions of our concern for Susan's well-being and future are extremely worthwhile and may lead to helping her, as we devise ways to use the internet for this purpose. But first we have to discuss them and share our ideas and expertise. Susan, we've got your back. No kidding. And look at what we were able to accomplish last year with Hillary. Same thing. Use the internet. Like the Iranians are doing.

Several of us have joked about, variously, the bus, caravan, and so forth that we want to form when Susan comes to the United States. I suspect that many of you feel the same way I do: I'M SERIOUS!
All of us want Susan to feel our affection. All of us want to feel that we're doing something to reinforce the intrinsic value of Susan's "stand" for all of us who want to connect at a deep level with each other as a way of making this world a better place in which to love one another and pursue our dreams.
That's why I'm volunteering to coordinate our efforts when, as is inevitable, it is announced that Susan is coming Stateside. Her U.S. fans are dispersed across this great, wide country, but we must come together to support our dear Susan. (I don't mean to exclude Susan's Canadian and Mexican fans. We should really refer to this as our "North American Initiative.")
In the immortal words of the President, "We can, and we will." Many of our number have limited resources, but together, we can make it possible for all to experience Susan's triumph in the United States. Let's pay close attention in the coming weeks and months as Susan's plans are disclosed. She WILL be here in the U.S., and let's be sure we're at her side -- in large numbers.
If you would like, I would be delighted to coordinate (or help coordinate) our "welcome," ensuring that the largest number of us -- Susan's biggest fans -- are able to take part. Susan has transformed many of us, and we owe it to her to be at her side as she spreads her uplifting message to our countrymen.
We can come together physically to welcome and support Susan. It takes: (1) a trivial amount of money in aggregate and (2) a very great amount of spirit and goodwill, which this group has in abundance. We can make it work, gang, and we can take a stand for our beloved Susan!

We should really refer to this as our "North American Initiative.")
In the immortal words of the President, "We can, and we will." Many of our number have limited resources, but together, we can make it possible for all to experience Susan's triumph in the United States. Let's pay close attention in the coming weeks and months as Susan's plans are disclosed. She WILL be here in the U.S., and let's be sure we're at her side -- in large numbers.
If you would like, I would be delighted to coordinate (or help coordinate) our "welcome," ensuring that the largest number of us -- Susan's biggest fans -- are able to take part. Susan has transformed many of us, and we owe it to her to be at her side as she spreads her uplifting message to our countrymen.
We can come together physically to welcome and support Susan. It takes: (1) a trivial amount of money in aggregate and (2) a very great amount of spirit and goodwill, which this group has in abundance. We can make it work, gang, and we can take a stand for our beloved Susan!

@All, "Trashoid" articles; Read Google posts three times/day off Google about them, half are near word-for word regurgitations off "parent" posts of corporate owned publications.
Celebrity press reporting I think is being "challenged" by the phenomenon Susan Boyle, WHY ELSE would Simon Cowell issue a "confession" on The Daily Mail if he wasn't under any "heat" by fans of her's? Cowell knows full well that HE needs US (U.S. included...) to buy whatever Susan will produce in the future, but the "Trashoids" ain't accountable to anybody, never have, never will be sad to say!
Yes indeed, DO boycott the "Trashoids" and their sponsors, DO protest indigently directly to them whenever possible, DO say and write whatever's legitimate about their failure to publish facts rather than lies, particularly against those "mainstream" publications like the Washington & Los Angeles Times for example which DON'T practice good journalism when it comes to celebrity reporting. I say go FIRST after the "mainstreamers" in this regard as THEY'VE got more to loose!
- End of rant, sorry!

Well, I shouldn't still be wide awake at this time of day nearly 3am) but I thought I might just pop in to check the general mood. Wow! You are so funny! When I started reading those posts packed with veiled innuendos about menopausing troubles I was already laughing but when I came to Patriasart's account of all the ludicrous things tabloids have made up so far, I was laughing out loud! It's so good to be able to take all this with a pinch of salt (well, in that case the whole shaker)! I'm sure if Susan could read this, she would be laughing with us!

I don't know about Piers Morgan. It seems to me that he's just been stringin' our Lady along with them honey drippin' smiles and nice gestures. Heck, a gal that ain't never been priviledged to have a feller might not know how to properly react to some smarmy good lookin' dude flirtin' and carryin' on with her just because he thinks it's a joke and want to have a little laugh at our Susan's expense. We all know she's as innocent as a babe and ain't realizing that there are cassanovas in this world that would flirt with the bearded lady at the circus if they could expect some monatery gain from it. I don't trust him to have any feelings for Susan. He likes his women young, curvaceous and drop dead gorgeous. He's a man of the show business world. I really doubt he thinks of our Angel like that. He may have a bit of sympathy for her and is trying to keep her calm, but romantic feelings; I think not.

When I get nervous for Susan I take comfort only in her own interview words and trust that she has not changed. (quotes not necessarily in order:)
“I heard people say things that weren’t very friendly. I knew what they were thinking,” she says. “I saw people laughing and I knew they were laughing at me. But I thought, well, they’ll soon shut up when they hear me sing. And they did.
How did that make her feel? “Pleased,” she says. “It’s what I wanted.” Did she feel patronised by the judges when they expressed such open astonishment? “No, I was happy with the way it went. They’ve all been very nice to me.”
“It’s early days. I’m taking baby steps at the moment. I’m just an ordinary person trying to make it as a professional singer. I really don’t want to change all that much.”
“Maybe I’ll consider a makeover later on,” she laughs. “For now I’m happy the way I am — short and plump. I would not go in for Botox or anything like that. I’m content with the way I look. What’s wrong with looking like Susan Boyle? What’s the matter with that?”
Given her popularity in the US, could she be tempted by a move to New York or Los Angeles? “Oh no, I am going to stay in Blackburn, West Lothian. This is where I belong. My family is here and they are a great support to me. They are right behind me but they also keep my feet firmly on the ground.”
“ … became a target for bullies. It wasn’t a happy time but Boyle found sanctuary in her closeknit, religious family. “I was a cheeky little girl at home. You had to fight your corner in a family the size of ours.” She also learnt as a child that she could sing.`
“It has been quite a week,” she says, collapsing into a seat by the window. “It has been overwhelming, a bit terrifying but it has been fun. I’m enjoying it. Most of the time it’s a good laugh.”

@TOMMYUSA, didn't know how you sent it to Susan but if special someone would have to sign for it unless Scotland post offices are different. I remember Blackburn was getting bags of mail for Susan. No telling how much she has now. But special by the post office should be different than regular mail. I hope someone kept it separate than routine mail.
I sent Susan a fan letter to Blackburn but it was very early right after I saw her on the audition.

@terijay , To be honest, I don't believe Piers account,it sounds straight out of a harlequin romance novel! Think about it,he told Susan not to watch TV,not to read the papers and she doesn't go online,she said she knows nothing about computers so Piers can make up all kinds of stories and Susan would never know.

Thank you so much for your response. If we are the posse, then let's show it! T-shirts for all! Does anybody know how we can make this happen? (I'm afraid I'm not well-versed in the ways of popular culture.) In my ideal world, Susan's posse exhorts the rest of the world to "FREE SUSAN" from the rants, tirades, and backbiting of those who either are insecure in their place in the world or would denigrate her contribution.
I am proud to be a member of "SUSAN'S POSSE," and I want to declaim it to the world! SUSAN'S POSSE says FREE SUSAN to offer to the world all that she can offer -- and that's a lot!

The back of my dress got caught in an industrial fan when I was giving instructions to a production crew. I didn't realize I was standing there with my behind out at first. Then, like a real dolt, I turned around and got the front caught. Major "Duh" moment.
Finally, one of the guys took pity on me and unplugged the fan. That morning I'd realized I was out of clean underwear and wore a leopard print "fun" pair meant for other purposes than work, if you know what I mean. All I could think of was my mother telling me when I was a kid to be careful what underwear I wore in case I was ever in an accident.
I had quite the meltdown in front of everyone. Stuff happens. We're human. It got written up in the company newsletter, too. People who haven't seen me in a long time remind me of the incident. Sigh.

In response to IvoryMist: First, she would have to ask. I don’t think she has as yet, LOL. But if she were to do so, I’d listen to her heart first. What are her dreams? (We think we know most of them already—a career, a love life, a tribute to her beloved parents, assistance to her siblings and family.) What is her mission in life? (We think we know the answer to that one, too: she is not materialistic in the slightest, from all accounts; she wants to “be a worthwhile person”; she wants to be “a human being” and she has identified humanness—humanity—as her “identity”. And she has a very STRONG identity. She wants to light up the world and sing to the heart and soul and bring happiness to people.) Understanding her goals is the first step to achieving them. And we know how she has moved toward her goal by taking “baby steps” all the way to the BGT blast--off into SuperNova stardom. She has practiced singing all her life; she has “paid her dues” in the “practice, practice” part in getting to Carnegie Hall. Professionally speaking, she is ready, but emotionally speaking it would be most difficult for anybody to cope with the deluge of instant fame and its inevitable backlash and the constant negativity that characterizes the sordid productions of the tabloids. People actually PAY to read the tabloid blood-sport destruction of others; somehow it makes them feel good, but to me it is a sickening affair. And of course, I’d be interested in knowing how she really feels about all these “tigers” in her life—the ones who have bullied her, harassed her, and belittled her in her young life and now the “tabloid tigers” in her present life. Has she been able in the past to keep her focus and fulfill her mission? Most resoundingly so!—which signals that she is able to put matters in perspective and move on, like the caravan that keeps moving as the yapping dogs bark and bark. She has learned to tune them out in the past and she can do so again, although it must be incredibly painful and heart-wrenching for her. I believe she is mentally sound and mentally sharp; anyone, however, needs support in making such unprecedented transitions in her life. Most of all she simply needs a management team devoted to her and her career. I would advise her NOT to ever sign with Simon or anyone associated with BGT or ABT. It is quite obvious that she has been calculatedly BETRAYED by BGT every step of the way. I’m not sure why; but she would know and be able to speak the truth. Perhaps that is exactly why there have been no interviews allowed as yet. Some people, like Susan, carry more truth than others can stand. Also, at the moment, in this most incredible rise to global fame, she hasn’t a team working for her and her alone. There is no PR firm watching out for her; no stylist who can properly dress her with clothes that fit; no manager with understanding or compassion for her unique and God-given talents and aspirations. I am no media maven, but I would hope that someone like Oprah or Tina Turn or Aretha Franklin—all of whom share her spiritual “soul” qualities and who share abusive backgrounds—would get in touch with her and guide her and her little boat into a safe harbor where she can be refitted for an oceanic liner. She will weather all the storms. Oh, and not to embarrass anybody, including myself, I would advise her to watch Tommy’s videos and come visit the USA soon!

They had just come out with pantyhose, so I put some on when I got ready for work that morning. I had brushed my hair and cleaned my brush before dressing. Didn't discover until the end of the day that I had missed the wastebasket when I cleaned my brush that morning and that glob of hair from my brush had been plastered to my CALF under my pantyhose ALL DAY and no one had said a word!!!

Do like to think the "Toadmobile" is part of the 1994 Honda Accord I got from a probate settlement in 2003 from the estate of a 57 year old gal friend of mine who quite suddenly died (yet another story...) otherwise will lease one from a Cadillac dealership - if can find one that's still in business!

@Casey'smom, that is the beauty of being a woman of "a certain age" like Susan. We have all been through a ton of stuff to get to this point, some of it painful, some of it hilariously funny. But the important thing is, it makes us tough enough and we're still standing. That's what's important and when it's all said and done, Susan Boyle will have all of us behind her and we "get" her completely. That's a great deal of collective strength combined.
I hear a lot of naysayers spewing that she came too late to the game and I say PHOEY to that. All the things that have happened to each and everyone of us have made us who we are and Susan is no exception. Maybe it took her longer to get there, but she has the wisdom of being "a certain age" and I believe in her.
Even if she had gotten caught in a revolving door, so what? You know that stuff happens to us all and if these reporters haven't had the fun of standing in a pair of leopard print undies with a ton of laughing people watching or screaming over a snake in their lap, heck, they just haven't lived long enough and look what is in store for them. tee hee

I could see us being girl friends and going out for a cup of tea . She took care of her parents. And her mother was her best friend ( my mom is my best friend). And of course I love her singing.

You know I was reading comments earlier today from SUsan Boyle Fan Club USA, and I found that they actually sent notes to susan through snail mail. They are actually mailed to her because they know she doe not have a computer. I wonder if we could set this up on this site. If not then go to that site, they are really mad about the tabs too and love susan bunches like we do. They also have some videos that we don't especially some interviews that were good. It really is a supportive site.They don't blog like we do but they do get the comments and notes to susan.

I see many people are wondering, as I am, what draws them so passionately to Susan. Why is there so much attention and fanfare? BGT has said in their defense " We don't really know what do about it, nothing like this has ever happened before." Many are trying to find a rational explanation for all this excitement. Some are calling it an addiction but they find themselves, like me, checking the blogs the next day, worrying, waiting, and hoping. Susan was very surprised herself when it all began but she said, 'it may be that people can identify with me because I am an ordinary person just like them, but now I have accomplished something I always dreamed of and thats what most people want." I don't think there really is a rational explanation for it all. I think it is more a subconcious reaction we are all having to her level of artistry, which is her accomplishment. She has charisma, and many strengths and weaknesses, but these have only helped her get to this point in life. She also has talent but to reach the level of artistry she has reached, it also takes a lot of hard work. Somewhere somehow she has done that work. My perception, after seeing her perform again in Glasgow (especially), is that she is still working, not just resting but working. When she performs again I have a hunch we will see that she has grown somemore. She is after all " A Very Serious Cookie ".

@aliz: Are you sure that those notes from that other fan site reach Susan any sooner or more efficiently than any of the OTHER notes and letters people have been sending to her all along?? I mean,---do they have a special "in" with the P.O. there or something?? Seems to me all "snail mail" is accumulating in bundles and piles at her house (or that of her very patient neighbor) as it always has. Don't know of any special tricks of gettiing it through any more directly than that.

I think, in her own words, ..she is a cheeky little girl..." and that characteristic will carry her through. I hope she remembers how she had to elbow her way around that large family of her's, she will be OK.
I am looking forward to seeing/hearing her perform tomorrow. Another Bravo performance it will be. Bring the house down our dear Susan..We are all behind you 23,000 strong. Go get 'em!!!!

My addiction: I don't tend to be addicted to things for long, because I quickly find excess of anything to be unhealthy and ultimately repetitive and unrewarding.
Ms. Boyle has definitely created an addictive pathology in my psyche.
When I listen to Susan Boyle, the air is pristine, scents are evocative, I feel encased in a sense of spiritual well-being. I'm not a religious person, so I imagine instinct compels me to seek out further stimulation. I am always tolerating the status quo in search of a new Boyle fix?????

I want to share something with you, take it for what it's worth but know it is shared with good intentions and not meant to preach or anything close to it.
Over the years, although I was drawn to countless personalities, there has been only one who entered my heart and has lived there for the past 47 years. The moment I saw Barbra Streisand on Judy Garland's television show in 1963 (I was 13), she entered my heart. The love and admiration for her was instantaneous. And through all these years, the love and admiration for her has only gotten stronger and deeper. Through the years, the tabloid press has had a field day with stories about Barbra, and perhaps hundreds, thousands, millions of magazines were sold because of those stories. The stories infuriated not only Barbra, but me and no doubt all her fans. We all knew the stories were trash, but there was little we could do about those stories that were written or those that would be written in the years to come. In 1977 Barbra recorded a song on her album "Superman" to express some of her frustration over the insane stories the press were making up and printing about her. Back then, Barbra had two pet parakeets living with her, and the pets were living in a lovely, large cage. The press got wind of Barbra's pets and off they went on some cockamayne (sp) tale of the birds flying wild in Barbra's apartment. She collaborated with song writers Ron Nagle and Scott Mathews to write a song that expressed her feelings about what she called "pull-the-wool-over-the-eyes-of-the-public journalism." The song is titled Don't Believe What You Read. And below are some of the lyrics that relate to the story I just relayed about her parakeets.
Dinner and a movie
I'll just show my face in town
Rumors fly so fast that I don't try to live 'em down
Gets old answering questions why and trying to explain
Why I prefer to stay at home with friends and entertain
Don't believe it
Don't believe what you read
Don't believe it
'bout the life that we lead
Now just read in the papers that I bought some birds today
Flying all around my house
Just havin' their own sweet way
Now makes me feel so foolish cause they called my house a cage
But there's nothin' I can do
Just puts me in a rage.
Don't believe it
Don't believe what you read no, no, no
Don't believe it
'bout the life that I lead.
We all know those latest stories about Susan crying for her cat are rubbish. Don't believe them. Press hasn't calmed down about Barbra in all these years and it's not going to. Not going to calm down about Susan, either, long as she is the story, the tabloid press will exploit her. Don't believe what you read.
And as far as eccentricities . . . we all have eccentricities in one way or another. They are part and parcel of who we are, our inner workings, they are what makes us who and what we are.
Oh, Barbra has a roomate now. I never ever thought another singer/actor/entertainer would instantaneously warm my heart and touch my soul the way she did. Well, another singer/actor/entertainer did just that, and her name is Susan Boyle.
As for the trash that is written about her, well, it's just trash. As one very wise woman once advised, "Don't believe what you read!"

@ArielAZ; Include the "cripple" Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (Claudius I or "I Claudius" per Robert Grave's 1934 novel) born August 1, 10 B.C. in Lugdunum (Lyon, France) who arguably ranks as the second most important Roman Emperor next to Gaius Julius Caesar.

Shall we start a new blog for "Defending Susan" & collect possible ideas & organize ourselves in groups with tasks?

However I am severly computer challenged... yeh, they even have a little face banging on a computer... and don't know how I could incorporate them here.) Could some genius take a boo and see if administration would let us use them. They really are a hoot!!! and one little fsce suffices a dozen words! CHEERS!

I think it was overload for BGT live tour to expect its performers to do 25 shows in 25 days. Other performers have taken days off.
If, for example, Susan normally goes to bed at 11 pm, she would now be getting to sleep in the middle of the night or dawn because a performer does not come down from the high of singing soon after the performance has ended. I suspect her normal sleep pattern is off. I would be physically ill if I had to go through this more than one night.
I suspect that the performers get on the bus in the early afternoon to travel to the next venue. Once they arrive, they likely need to have an early supper because they probably need to be at the venue by about 6 pm. Perhaps some, or all, of them are unable to eat since their adrenaline would be kicking in for the performance they will soon do.
The main reason entertainers take uppers and downers is because of trying to come down after a show but then having to get revved up for the next show. I once heard Johnny Cash describe this vicious circle that he had been caught up in.
Please Susan, take your rest and pace yourself. We all love you.

@SandraER; Excellent post. Understanding from number of recent press accounts that an M.D. or medical professional of some kind is "on the trail" with her I'd think she's being looked after daily. If Simon "helped" Susan in this regard I'll forgive him for anything else he's done "at" her so far.

@JJ, thank you about my dog. That is a baby pic of BelBien's Remarkable Boy that was in a calendar. I helped deliver him and we've been joined at the hip since. He and one of my kitties love to listen to Susan. He wags when I play Cry Me A River over and over and over . . . :)
@Zoey, I remember that show with Judy and Barbra. As if it were yesterday. I thought they were so wonderful and you're right, Barbra has stood strong through all the bad press and Susan will, too.
Why do I love Susan? I actually loved her the minute I saw her on YouTube when she said she was going to rock that audience. She had me then, even before she sang. There was something so real and charismatic about her just at that instant that tears sprung to my eyes and I didn't doubt she would rock the audience. But when she opened her mouth, I couldn't believe how she let us see into her soul with that once-in-a-lifetime voice.
She had the guts to stand up there and be herself in a world that pressures we women into unmerciful cubbyholes and she soared. It never mattered to me if she won that contest or not. I knew there would be millions of us who would "get" her. She is fierce, funny, cheeky, very intelligent and has a way with words that is so interesting to listen to. She's someone I'd love to sit and knit with and listen to her talk on just about any subject while we sipped tea. There is real depth to that woman and it took all these years for it to be there, too.
I love her cheeks and eyes and smile. To me, she is very attractive, with or without makeup. I have frizzy, curly hair so I can relate. Any side of her is just fine with me because she is the real deal.
And @Aliz, hey, re: Huffington, thank you. I felt it needed to be said. Those people with their crude assumptions are completely unacceptable.

I loved the embarassing moments section...posted above....Mine was in class, all students on the floor in groups...making graphs on huge graph papers....re my instructions - for fun - robots....areas, perimeters etc....no need to go into that...But when I was bending down to discuss a project with some of the boys....a sweet girl behind me said "Mrs. Grange...you have a split in your skirt"... I HAD forgotten that that particular skirt needed repairing and early that morning I was getting ready in a hurry as usual...risin at 6 a.m.
Little Willie (yes, that's his name)..came back quickly with "Hey, what colour is her underwear?" (ten year olds) I told the girl not to tell him... Most of the class, including myself, had a good giggle....the rest of the Math period was spent with some of my girls trying to staple the slit in my skirt together , ended up with pins from the school secretary. Honest...it really happended.

Zoey, thanks for writing about Barbara Steisand and the way you felt about her. A lovely tribute. I felt the same about Joan Sutherland, the opera singer and for years I couldn't stop listening to her records. Now I have Susan to listen to, and it is remarkable how she affects me. My family think I am a bit " off" but Susan has really changed my life, given me another focus, and I hope I don't leave this earth without having heard her at least once in person. Susan Boyle, you have so many people standing beside you, supporting you. We love you, Susan

I'M DREAMING A DREAM...And Here It Is......It's What I'll Call The Susan Boyle Parties....Here's what it entails. ...on the date of Susan Boyles CD being released INTERNATIONALLY to the world ON THAT VERY DAY thousands of Susan Boyle parties take place all around the world. Here's how it would work although there could be some variations, people can do as they please but I would suggest that a host of a Susan Boyle Party they would have at least 7 persons come to their home who have given their money to them [the host] beforehand to pick up their new Susan Boyle CD and they would be distributed to all at the party. At the party the CD can be listened to, the audition tape and perhaps others. Im sure many would agree it would not be too hard to ask their friends or neighbours if they'd be interested in coming to such an event as many would be intrigued of wanting to buy her new CD anyway.
Now as the date approaches the media would be talking about this global event for that's what we can make it. When it's reported how many Susan parties will be taking place around the world one has to wonder if the sales of her CD will even more so go through the roof perhaps breaking records for any entertainer. I would say the British tabloids have had their say, some of the British people who didn't support Susan have had their say, but now ladies and gentlemen of the world isn't it time we stood up and said our piece ? They've cast their votes and now its about time that we cast ours. I would like to believe that future generations will look back and acknowledge that many in the world did the right thing by refusing to put up with the demeaning of a good person and an incredibly great talent who blessed the world and should receive the proper recognition for doing so. At the "Susan Party" you can have a cake with her name on it or something like "I Dreamed A Dream" to encourage all others to reach out for their potential. A petition can be taken up with all present signing it insisting that the UN award her the Nobel Peace Prize.
If Al Gore can receive it for his work in environmentalism why couldn't Susan receive the same for providing great inspiration to the world at a time when it most desparately needed it ? No this is not about hero worship or failing to show balance and perspective ....we do recognize that Susan is mere mortal like the rest of us......but if many in the world can have their annual every year Super Bowl party celebrating the throwing of a pig skin in the air [American football] then why can't a great many at least show a ONE TIME recognition to a talent who has caused all spirits to soar and who leads us to believe that anything is possible....I Dreamed A Dream....Will You Dream Along With Me ? My wife and I are going to have a Susan Boyle party on the day of her CD release....any of you good fine people care to do the same? Who knows...this might even be part of a Susan Boyle movie...the final chapter of what the world has to say about it . :-)

The Clerk's office was a huge one usually full of attorney's, judges, etc. It was a busy time when I stooped over in my purple mini-dress to place a file in its drawer....with my back to the whole office full of people. Yessireee! They told me about that REAL quick! LOL!

@Bobber2; The "global event" is the day Susan goes "Diamond" (10,000,000 sales) on her first CD Album per RIAA Certification (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_certifications).
Theoritically, Susan's already gone 5 x 2,000,000 Digital Double Platinum just on her original BGT performance via YouTube, not ONE PENNY of which she's profited from, anybody else for that matter - astounding!

My most embarrassing moment. I was a junior sales rep in international sales for my company. It was the mid 80s when China was first opening up. I was entertaining a group from Beijing.
I'm from the Boston area and they asked me to take them to a place where they could eat something indigenous to Boston. I took them to a high class restaurant for lobster.
Before I could teach them how to crack open the shells with the nut crackers, they started ripping the claws off the lobsters and eat them shell and all. They then proceeded to spit the shells out onto the table and floor.
Within 15 minutes we had a pile of lobster shells 10 inches high on the table and the surrounding floor. All the tables sitting next to us promptly got up and left.
After paying the bill, and on my way out, the restaurant manager pulled me aside and explained that I was not welcome in that restaurant ever again!!!

Most embarrassing moment - Teaching a large class of children at our riding academy outside Chicago, I was tired of having kids let their horses stop and get down to roll and scratch their backs. (Itchy little problem with livery horses in the summer.) I pompously mounted a notorious "roller" and told the kids I would show them how to keep their horse moving forward and not put its head down to roll. My "roller", at almost a trot with his head high as could be, dropped to the ground under me, much to the glee of my class. Face red and britches muddy and not so pompous after that.

Everybody is sharing their most embarrassing moments -- I don't know if I can share mine and NOT be totally embarrassed all over again! I wasn't feeling well this particular Sunday morning, -- had a cold along with an upset digestive system, but my husband and I went to church anyway - I think there was something special going on that morning. After church, we were standing in the foyer talking to another couple (I was anxious to get home and get out of the pantyhose that were becoming increasingly uncomfortable as my digestive unrest progressed. All of a sudden I had a horrific sneeze -- and the pent-up gas I had been squeezing my butt cheeks to hold was noisily forced out. My husband and the other couple didn't quite know what to do, so I just kept on talking as if nothing had happened. The incident haunts me to this day -- some 30 years later!

Howdy Brooklyn Blessings,
My gosh, have a wonderful time in Blackburn, West Lothian and please pass on the following from an ol' cowhand down Louisiana way to the folks in Susan's Pub...
Howdy Folks,
Gotta be kinda funny, a whole town gettin' fan letters
from halfway around the world. But, this here is one from
an ol' cowhand down Louisiana way...at the South end of the mighty Mississippi River...a place called New Orleans.
First let me say to the owner of the Pub where Susan sang that your television interview a couple months back
was absolutely fantastic. I loved your answer when asked
how the town was reactin' to all the press coveage... "Gosh, we've been brushin' our teeth for a whole week!" If I hadn't fallen in love with your town
before then, I sure did when you said that! My kinda town...
Well, ya gotta right to be downright proud. That wee
lassie that sang in your Pub has now captured the hearts of millions of folks throughout the world. And as we've
learned more and more about the nice folks in Blackburn,
we've grown rather fond of your village...and the folks who live there.
We've noticed things, like that Council man building
Susan a new gate for her fence. We've noticed the local
paper sharin' Susan's fanmail with her over the phone.
And, we've noticed her friends and neighbors sayin' "Just
let the lassie sing!"
Well, God Bless you folks. And thank you for sharin'
with the whole world someone mighty special indeed. The
lady deliverin' this message is a member of Susan's world
wide fan site, as am I, and over 23,300 others! Our fans
site has been growin' each and every day...it'll be even
bigger by the time you get this.
Blackburn has good reason to be mighty proud...and we
send you folks all the best. Adios for now. Talk to ya
on down the trail.

Susan a new gate for her fence. We've noticed the local
paper sharin' Susan's fanmail with her over the phone.
And, we've noticed her friends and neighbors sayin' "Just
let the lassie sing!"
Well, God Bless you folks. And thank you for sharin'
with the whole world someone mighty special indeed. The
lady deliverin' this message is a member of Susan's world
wide fan site, as am I, and over 23,300 others! Our fans
site has been growin' each and every day...it'll be even
bigger by the time you get this.
Blackburn has good reason to be mighty proud...and we
send you folks all the best. Adios for now. Talk to ya
on down the trail.

@mclim; Don't know if you'd seen my "proclamation" some days back as being one of the first "major" cash donors in keeping Susan-Boyle.com going; the $1,000 I'd forked over likely will be used in part to pay for forum maintenance expenses which I DO hope includes "fair moderators."

Okay, I rarely make off-topic posts, so hopefully I won't get slammed for this one. It's a joke that I was reminded of after reading GritsT's embarassing moment.
A woman is riding on a bus when she feels a huge gas bubble in her butt. She tries to hold it in, but it's getting harder and harder. There is music playing on the bus though, so she thinks, "Ah, okay, I'll time the 'expulsions' with the loud parts." She does this 4 or 5 times, synchronizing some very loud and long expulsions with the crescendos in the music. As the bus nears her stop, the woman heads to the front and notices people giving her very strange looks. It is only after she gets off the bus that she realizes.....she was listening to her iPod!

Maybe it is in BGT's contract that she sang the same 2 songs that she sang in the audition and semi final for BGT LIVE TOUR. If we are really genuine fans of Susan there shouldnt be any explosion in pandemonium if she still sing the same songs on the ongoing BGT live tour. The real fans will support her all the way no matter what. And will not pay lip service. Anyone who had in mind thinking of explosion in pandemonium in this website if she still sing the same songs are equavilent to the tabloids who had nothing to do but critising only. They are even worse than our enemy, the british tabloids and other media. The purpose of us here is to fully support Susan with all our hearts and minds no matter what. Long live Susan! Long live to your singing career! Long live susan boyle.com fansite. Thank you.

Someone was talking about whimsy.
Has anyone seen “The Enchanted Cottage”? Our national broadcaster used to play old BW movies in the early hours of the morning. That’s how I saw it. It was a lovely movie.
Plot from Wikipedia:
“When Oliver Bradford (Robert Young) is disfigured by war wounds, he hides from his family (Spring Byington) and fiancée (Hillary Brooke), renting a cottage from Mrs. Minnett (Mildred Natwick). Laura Pennington (Dorothy McGuire) is a shy, homely maid who tidies up the place. Oliver and Laura gradually fall in love and discover that their feelings for each other have mysteriously transformed them. He appears handsome to her, and she seems beautiful to him. This is only perceived by the two lovers (and the audience), not by others. Laura comes to believe that the cottage is "enchanted" because it was once often rented to honeymoon couples."
We never thought that Susan was in any way ugly in appearance or spirit, but because others write such toxic stuff and many don’t like her, I wonder if we are living in some kind of ‘enchanted village’, where we see and hear such beauty coming from Susan? Do you have to have special ears and eyes? Or is it life experience?

But I've been able to send and receive messages. I click someone's name, then click the envelope under their name to send the message. When they respond, it comes to the email address that I provided when I registered. In that email there is a link to respond back. So I've gotten responses, even though I do not have the envelope on my profile either.

@Boylemania Opps! Check back. The post suggested that if she DID sing something new the pandemonium would break out. Not if she sang the two she apparently has to.

To all who were brave and shared these moments, I say "thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU and thank you some more". Adds more meaning to the song "Thanks for the Memories". This blog tonight has undoubtedly added many more distinct memories for a number of us..

I have this e-mail problem also. I don't have the envelope in my profile. I think because I was an early member, in April. Yet I have received e-mails from others. I click on the response link to them and ask them to reply. Then I get an e-mail address from them and I put them in my addresses with their real names and then send a regular reply so that they get my name and e-mail address.
I e-mailed Paul (SusanBoyleFan at the top of the comments portal on the home page) twice in the past two days, asking him to please put the envelope on my profile because I think there are others like me who don't know how to send that first e-mail otherwise.
I still can't figure out how people e-mailed me in the first place.

If you look at your own profile the blue envelope doesn't appear which makes sense. However if you look at other people's profiles, a few of them because maybe some people don't want a blue envelope and you don't see any blue envelopes anywhere then yes there could be a problem.

Embarrassing moments. Mine happened when I was 17 years old and working as a waitress at a local Howard Johnson's Restaurant. This was in 1969 and back then your hair had to be either cut short like a boys almost, or you had to wear these god awful hair nets. I have very long hair so everyday after school and before work I would gather it all up, put it on top of my head, and place a nylon stocking over it to keep it there. I then put on a wig to wear to work. Wigs were also very popular at that time. Well it was a Friday nite and Friday nites were exhausting. We had standing line all evening, out the door and around the building. We never stopped running. We also had those big coat racks beside every table where people hung their coats and hats. I was very tired and standing at a table taking an order when I got a little to close to the coat rack. I left the table in a hurry to turn their order in to the kitchen and barely felt something pull on my head. I paid no attention to it at all as I was to busy to even care. Until, the whole entire dining room busted out laughing and every single person there was looking at me. I stopped dead in my tracks. Back on that coat rack hung my wig and there I stood with a hideous panty hose on top of my head. I looked like a moron. I wanted to die. But, I made really good tips that night. Goodness, even people I had not waited on gave me tips for providing the entertainment. Its been a long time ago. 40 years and I have never forgotten it

There are a couple of people who apparently have asked that their "blue envelope" be disabled,---so they can't receive messages. Old Dan may be one of them. But if you go to most other people's profile pages, there's a blue box and you can message them through that. If I go to my own profile page, I don't see the blue box, though. Other people can click on my page and get it,---but I guess you can't see it on your own page. At least that's been MY experience.

WAMcKinley, yes, that must be it. I think that's why I was first interested in Susan. Her singing was very good, but it wasn't the sort of music I normally listen to. It was her pluckiness and courage and humour that engaged me at first.
Being "speed challenged", as Ponylady has so charmingly put it(cracked me up that did), I don't download much in the way of youtubes at all. Teesiel's were the first since Susan's first bgt appearance that I'd listened to. The sound was so good that I began to understand why everyone finds her voice so thrilling. There's something about it that verges on the numinous - as with all great singers. It's mysterious.
@ Teesiel. Thank you so very much. Now I 'get it' ... what everyone is raving about ... thanks to your videos.

@ArielAZ: See above. If you checked off "yes" next to "allow community members to contact you" then others should be able to send you mail. I just checked and you do have the blue envelope.

Hitting the sack for the night, folks. As always, have enjoyed "listening in" on your conversations and occasionally contributing. Many smiles and outright laughs tonight.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that whatever Susan decides to do with respect to the Sunday shows, her decision is respected by all. No booing if she performs and no backbiting if she doesn't. Let's invite the media to put themselves in her place: unknown to known-by-all (and criticized by press hacks) in a few short weeks. How would they handle it? Better than Susan? (And, I have a bridge to sell you...)
Good night, and God bless - Ruth

Yes, Lord bless me, I clicked the box. But how was I to know the blue envelope would never materialize for me. One shouldn't play tricks on paranoid people. However, I have been enlightened and now I must rely on trust. If I continue to get e-mails from my witty peers than I shall know I remain activated and that the blue envelope exists in an alternate universe. That is all I ask. I sent Paul my apologies for bothering him.

I have news. I have seen the new forum for the Susan Boyle site. It is amazing, very sophisticated, and must have taken Paul days to put it all together. It's very thorough, and its going to take some getting used to. Very large site. Lots of threads.

Defending Susan: @ArielAZ, It will not be a lot of work. Example: I can collect the web sites with positive/negative news about Susan & post them daily. Then others can post comments on those web sites. First we can focus on the 10 biggest names in the news industry. Then we can grow up our list of sites. If every one of those 10 sites gets some 100 comments in Susan's interest daily, that will help. It is the same news on all sites.If you can not articulate something fast, you can copy/paste your comments on different sites. A lot of things can be done.

YAY, I can now send and recv messages from the fansite!
Okay, I'll tell yall about the "Trumpet Butt" incident and I just remembered it was in KMart before WalMart came on the scene. My kids were young, pre-teens. We were browsing one of those sales tables in KMart when one of those pfffttts! snuck up on me. There was only one other man browsing there on the other side of the table. I tried bravely to hold it back, but it wouldn't cooperate and in the clench, it wound up sounding like a long high squeal from a trumpet.
My kids RAN from the table!!!! (p'ing my big girl panties here just thinkin' about it) The man frowned and glared at me, so I just put on my innocent, not doin' nothin' face and continued to browse, then slid away quietly in a bit.

Ruth Stated :This is precisely how Barack Obama galvanized a good any voters. There were more than 200,000 "house parties" in the weeks leading up to Election Day. How much fun would this be -- and what a kick in the pants to the media skeptics! Let's be there!
My Response: Thanks for your reponse Ruth and i didn't know that Obama actually did that....interesting....but im not sure how I could galvanize Susan Boyle fans...maybe they don't think its a good idea or maybe my three long paragraphs they thought they'd skip by that I put down above....anybody who would consider examining my last post above I would sincerely appreicate it though not because I need my self esteem stroked but I do think the idea has potential and would like to hear people opinions. Thankyou kindly if you good people would. :-)

Just watched Glasgow again and wondered how much access Susan would have had to live big name concerts like this...and now she's the star in a live big name concert...How often would she have had a chance to see Elton John...or Elaine Page live....maybe just on TV...not only is she totally out of her element...she has no control over her life...when I am stressed, I like to bake and eat...Susan doesn't have the luxury of home made chocolate chip cookies...her own recipe...or tea the way she likes it a home...some of the de-stressing things that we have....if I were her, I'd draw a bubble bath and stay in there for hours at a time...with ice cream

Hey, Bobber2,
Before turning in, wanted to give you some more information. Obama's campaign built a big e-mail list and invited people on the list to host "house parties." The campaign provided some support in the way of pre-written invitations and so forth, as well as getting news coverage. To build on your concept, we could think of some subset of the members of this fansite to be analogous to Obama's e-mail list -- we'd be the supporters who would host the house parties to celebrate the release of Susan's CD. A few talented people on this site could volunteer to play a role similar to Obama's campaign staff -- doing the PR and providing support to members hosting parties.
It's fun to think about small house parties happening more or less simultaneously from coast to coast to honor Susan! -

In response to the many comments (on previous blog) expressing horror at the thought of Susan having to return to her poverty striken, nightmarish(?) life in Blackburn, it might be wise to consider her own thoughts on this before deciding for ourselves what's best for her.
quote: Given her popularity in the US, could she be tempted by a move to New York or Los Angeles? “Oh no, I am going to stay in Blackburn, West Lothian. This is where I belong. My family is here and they are a great support to me. They are right behind me but they also keep my feet firmly on the ground.”
It would also be good to acknowledge the fact that the FIRST THING she planned to do with her money (when she gets some) was to purchase her home in Blackburn.

Since this fan club started a long time ago I don't think the members should like being kept in the dark especially since many have donated their money to support this fan club. So, what is your story ??

@aroseblush - I wasn't upset. I was just trying to figure out why suddenly you're doing a lot of posting speaking for Paul, that's all. I'm not on the site 24/7, so I thought maybe there was something in the comments that I missed that explained why you were speaking for Paul. In the past, he usually speaks for himself, either in the original blog post (which I read, but it didn't say anything about you one way or another) or in the comments section.

And while I have you gracious Southern Ladies attention, tell me the best recipe for Pecan Pralines that you know, please??? There aren't too many people here right now so they may not get angry with us. LOL

@aroseblush - OK, you applied to be a moderator, and Paul gave you thoughts and a preview link for the new forum. So then Paul has authorized you to represent him and his wishes in the comments here? The relevancy of being a new member is that usually new members don't assert themselves strongly towards the members who've already been in a place for a while; and since your recent comments have come across as strongly assertive, I thought maybe you had been placed in some kind of official "leadership" or "authority" role that I'd not been made aware of. It'd probably go over more smoothly if it had been officially announced, first, instead of someone with no previously-apparent connection to Paul suddenly asserting what "should" or "shouldn't" be done and what Paul wants or doesn't want. That's all.

@TXNoelle...We'd love to have your message to Blackburn, however you can send it (snailmail is a little late now, though).
@YourAwesome...Was it you who requested a photo of the church? That's on the agenda.

@ Gardenator. It’s Sunday arvo here and I’ve just been following up on a few songs suggested by members in the CD blog that were unknown to me. One of them was yours. “His Eye is on the Sparrow”. I just found a YouTube of Mahalia Jackson singing it. OMG.
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM_JRAPSwVM
First time hearing that song and that singer. Glad it was on your list :)

My daughter Jocelyn joined choir last year (sept 07) and she got to sing this song with the choir. It made me cry.

I have just returned from Piers Blog, where I have posted another letter to let him know I have a very low tolerance for the media hype and that he'd better call his boys and tell them "enough is enough". But I have come to the conclusion regarding the role of a publicist, representing any celebtrity, whether it be Susan or someone else, their only interest is how many headlines can be generated either good or bad, the more exposure one has to the eyes of the general public, the more likely they will achieve fame. It's just one big publicity game, and Susan has to resign to cope with this if she wants to stay up in the limelight. It's all about numbers, they want to keep up the interest in Susan, so that she sells more CD's for them. You can say, BGT is using Susan, but if you want to look at it this way Susan can use BGT to make her dream come true...to be a professional singer and record CD's.
Why is Simon providing Susan with a London flat, 4 limo drivers to confuse the press...is this to protect her. You might also look at this way...the more he shields her from the press (won't let her be photographed before, during, after the shows)and keeps her hidden, the harder these mosquerls are going to work to find a story line, even if they have to invent the wheel. In the meantime, the publicist is sitting back jumping up and down for joy...more headlines, more headlines...not always good for Susan Boyle. I believe that she will tough it out and pretty soon she's going to be in better contol of her own situation and destiny, which is our CD's. Susan, please, lots of different CD's, DVD's, Christmas CD's,

@TXNoelle - You know, stuffed portabella mushroom caps sounds very tasty. ;-) I should check one of those PETA sites or something, I'll bet they'd have veggie Haggis if anyone did. Heh. "Cruelty Free Haggis," or something like that--though if it tastes like the original, that probably wouldn't be a very truthful label, would it.
BTW, I had no idea Praline Pecans were so easy to make! Not exactly health food, but you know, moderation in all things, especially tasty sweet snacks. ;-) Thanks for the link!

@ TX Noelle, the thing about Haggis - there is a lot of mythology surrounding it. For one, that haggis comes from mountain sheep that have legs shorter on 1 side than the other (Im not at all sure how that creates the extra flavour of...well probably not the best site to talk about cooking xyz from a sheep). All I honestly know is that I have to drink half a bottle of whisky to eat a haggis.

I have a feeling Andy Murray will take the Scottish headlines away from Susan for the next 2 weeks...if he makes it that long...and she'll get a nice rest from imposing press.

Susan Boyle: I'll get back on stage By Suzannah Hills 21/06/2009
EXCLUSIVE
Exhausted singing sensation Susan Boyle feels she is letting her fans down by missing Britain's Got Talent stage shows.
She has missed four this week - but has vowed to make a comeback at today's Wembley gig.
A spokeswoman said yesterday: "Susan's still very tired - but she is really excited about the show and can''t wait to get back on stage.
"If she were told she couldn't perform it would break her heart."

And after missing the tour shows the 48-year-old star from West Lothian got a boost from dance group Diversity, who beat her in the TV final.
Dancer Jordan Banjo, 16, said: "Susan is the main attraction here on the tour - everyone wants to see her.
"When she's singing I just stand at the side of the stage and watch her sing - she's amazing.

Just to get back (brifly) to Susan for a moment, if I may. I was just checking the news reports for today to see if there's any definate news that she will actually be performing today (Sunday). I had my doubts as I assume she'd rather not work on a Sunday...Catholic tradition etc..
I couldn't find anything, but did find a small article (part of which I've pasted here) in the Mirror.co.uk that was, surprisingly, tipped in Susan's favor...thank God! Perhaps the letters from Susan's fans have forced a re-think on the part of these tabloids? Let's hope so!
quote from article: Why she is even on that gruelling tour after her brief spell in The Priory is beyond belief. Yet a BGT boss says: "It's a shame for fans, but Susan's health comes first."
Does it? Surely if Susan's health came first she'd be at home in West Lothian with her cat, her family and her friends, hundreds of miles from that BGT circus. But think of all that lovely cash they'd miss out on...

I am a Brit and I very rarely buy papers these days because of the rubbish that is them. If i do buy a paper it is usually the Times or Guardian. If Susan does sing today, i just hope the crowd will be as good to her as they have been. Good luck Susan and my thoughts are with you.

I live in a very nice community in Southern California that was founded by a Scottish family. It is a middle to upper-middle class community with quite a few secluded estates. I would love it if Susan bought a house here. People here leave you alone (we have some celebrities that live here) and it is far enough away from Los Angeles, about 25 miles, to be out of the rat race and close enough to the city to be handy for recordng studios. It's a pip dream, I know, but Susan should check out Glendora, Ca when looking for a second home. I know, I know, just a daydream, but I love the woman dearly! I am forever a member of the "Sue Crew".

OK, since this has been sort of a girls night out tonight, I thought I'd share a link to a site related to Susan's future clothes. A lot of designers have been salivating over the idea of dressing Susan, and apparently one called Marc Jacobs got the job. Here's the link to some of his collections:http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2009RTW-MJACOBS He is supposed to be designing clothes that are sexy, but age-appropriate.
There's a little red number at the bottom in the middle that might look good on Susan with the hem lower. I can just see Simon holding the promise of designer clothes out as an incentive for work-outs & weight reduction, But how on earth could he get them to agree on a size that she'd end up with? Jacobs' models are so anorexic they look sick.

Tweek, for anyone interested in how Max Clifford works, there’s a documentary available on YouTube that DJG-Scotland mentioned yesterday (I think). It was made by Louis Theroux quite a while back, before Simon was the ‘name’ he is now. Clifford was supposed to be defending Cowell against certain tabloid allegations at that time.
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=PnVNEEFWhb8
It affords an interesting (and humorous) insight into the mind of Max. He and Louis play a game of cat and mouse with each other all the way through. Louis’ usual technique is to give people enough rope with which to hang themselves – for anyone unfamiliar with his docos. They only began to be shown in Australia recently that I’m aware of.
So, the Clifford forte is supposed to be defending people against wildly untruthful or malicious press coverage. Ironic in Susan’s case, in view of what’s happening. These puppet masters should be seen to be trying to protect her public image, even if the press has a huge amount of freedom to print what they like. Clifford has done it for many of his clients, including Cowell.

Im surprised that Haggis is not yet registered as a brand name...judging by the disputes that have happened in recent years in the European Union Member States over branding cheese, sausage and champagne for example...Haggis will be somewhere on the list (hehe - post in jest)

@mdillow31 - I doubt if Susan would perform at Wimbledon. If I'm not mistaken her BGT contract doesn't permit her to perform elsewhere...at least while the tour is still running. I could be wrong of course.

There are so many good Scottish recipes, particularly 'cock a leeekie', 'baked cod and egg' and 'fisherman's pie'soup and others. However 'Crispy fried Mars Bars' I would hesitate to give to any of my kids. I am not all sure why the latter is considered to be a traditional Scottish recipe.

@wenvas. Deep fried crispy mars bars as a national cuisine in Scotland. Hmmm, high road to heart disease at an early age. May be that explains the relatively poor life expectancy of Scottish citizens in the developed world.

Holy Moly! I asked for a new blog last night, go off to my kip, and wake up on this bright and sunny West Lothian morning and on the longest day and what do I find....? A new blog with already well over 500 posts!!! "Gee us the forum and quick as you like, Paul, before this fansite is taken over by the fashionistas and the cordon bluers! Only joking, girls! Only 74 'online', so I suppose that most of you are now tucked up in bed. Sweet dreams!
More seriously (just for a minute) I hope that Susan is now well rested and
and has cut a few demo tracks for her upcoming album, for that's what I think she may have been doing over the last three days. Of course, I can't be sure of that - just a feeling. Anyway, she WILL rock them this afternoon and tonight, despite a report that whilst she 'wants to appear and not let her fans down, she says that she is still a bit tired'. Can't wait for the new videos and reports from Wembley. Just hope that everything goes well for her and for the rest of the stars. Nice comment here this morning from one of the dancers of Diversity who wishes Susan well and who says that all the guys are "awestruck" when they watch her sing. Nice that. My regard for that band of guys grows even stronger and their comment might make the audience today and tonight pay her much greater respect as a result.
Off to do my chores - it's 9 am and it's even warm out there!

On the site http://www.express.co.uk/search/susan%20boyle/ are listed 6 current negative articles in a row about Susan, and of the six only one allows comments. On that page the public comments are setting the record straight--the article "Sorry Susan" or something like that. Apparently the site didn't want the fact-stating to continue so they blocked comments on the others, because all other articles that I checked out allowed comments. For those of you who seem to think, if I'm getting it right, that we are making too much of this--it is Simon Cowell who authored two of the articles, two days in a row, where he is turning against Susan in some rather blatant misrepresentations, as if he had not said very clearly and repeatedly things he has said. He is misrepresenting, and he is important. I think if we keep standing up for truth where we can, reasonably, clearly and relatively politely, truth will gradually succeed. On that site they also choose the worst photos of Susan they can find.

@sassyone - It's been 30 years since my (scottish) husband and I divorced and I'm not sure anymore how to make mushy peas. I seem to recollect that there was onion in them, but not sure now, will have to check.
I followed a strict Ayurvedic (vegetarian) diet for 20 yrs (after the divorce) but then chronic health problems, including anaemia led me back to a more traditional Aussie diet.

Without wishing to add too much fuel to this debate about my country's culinary skills and diet, we do not all eat Deep Fried Mars Bars (I have never tasted one and have no wish to) and mushy peas are far more commonly eaten in England than they are North of the border! I do try to eat healthily. I eat fish three times per week, mainly oily fish which is high in Omega 3 and extremely good for you. I don't eat rubbish but I do confess to a liking for haggis and mince and tatties and the steak pie made locally is to die for!
Meanwhile, back on the subject which draws us all here, typical of the Express - it derides Susan and then prevents us from commenting. So much for freedom of the Press and I, naively, thought that I was living in a democracy, not Iran! Sorry if that comes across as too strong, but sometimes my blood just boils at the garbage that spews out from these rags. And anyway, I thought that we had been instructed to ignore the tabbies!? Rant over - more chores to do!

From the Daily Mirror:
Exhausted singing sensation Susan Boyle feels she is letting her fans down by missing Britain's Got Talent stage shows.
She has missed four this week - but has vowed to make a comeback at today's Wembley gig.
A spokeswoman said yesterday: "Susan's still very tired - but she is really excited about the show and can''t wait to get back on stage.
"If she were told she couldn't perform it would break her heart."
And after missing the tour shows the 48-year-old star from West Lothian got a boost from dance group Diversity, who beat her in the TV final.
Dancer Jordan Banjo, 16, said: "Susan is the main attraction here on the tour - everyone wants to see her.
"When she's singing I just stand at the side of the stage and watch her sing - she's amazing.

@Joly this Sunday Express you mention http://www.express.co.uk/search/susan%20boyle/ is really a rag isn't it? One of the articles about Colwell says
SIMON Cowell yesterday confessed he fears for the well-being of Susan Boyle and revealed he has regrets over her meteoric rise to fame.
Last week Cowell even summoned Boyle’s family to London to discuss whether to pull her from the TV show’s live tour, after she showed no signs of having recovered from a breakdown following treatment at The Priory.
Then like you say the "Have Your Say" comments section is disabled, I couldn't even find the article you mention that has comments enabled.

Back on topic - ahem :P
Why do I love Susan and what drew me to her?
I have thought long and hard about this and discussed this with other fans and come to the following conclusion.
We live in a world which has been dominated for the last few decades by image and manipulation. Everyone has to have "the look", pictures are airbrushed etc... and sounds are also manipulated and distorted. Indeed there are now a growing group of people who no longer listen to the human voice singing but listen to computer generated "VOICE" recordings sating they do so because they are so "perfect and pure" in quality. (Can you think of anything more soul less?) The media has held up an increasingly distorted image of "perfection" and many have become blinded and blighted by it as it becomes more and more twisted and in my view less and less perfect. Where is the soul, the heart and the joy in these images and in these performances? Where is that something which reaches out and touches us with its simplicity, truth, honesty and a myriad of other emotions? And when did it become a crime for a performer to vary a note, to miss the odd note, to vary the performance or to deviate from this increasingly perverted idea of perfection?
Years ago, before TV and the rapid advance of the media inspired industry which we see today, performers were judged on how they performed and the effect they had on audiences, not on their "look" or any of the other superficial standards which are applied today. Actors, singers and entertainers had heart and soul and those who had joy in their hearts for what they brought to the stage were loved by their audiences. My Mum said to me that "Susan is one of the old school, she does it from the heart and it shows". When she stood on that stage, unadorned, and sang for the pure joy of doing so, it awakened in so many that basic need to hear a genuine performance. It is ironic therefore that it is modern technology in the form of the viral you tube sensation which has enabled the rest of the world to wake up too.
Elaine Paige described Susan as "A breath of fresh air" and I believe that like many performers she recognized in Susan that here was someone who was singing on her terms, free and unencumbered by the trappings of the modern day industry. It is not surprising to me that so many GREAT singers and performers have come out as fans and supporters of Susan, Streisand, Minelli, Patti Lu Pone, Dolly Parton, Lulu, Elaine Paige, to name but a few and of course Andrew Lloyd Weber himself thinks she is pretty darn good as well. They know a good thing when they see and hear it, and oh don't they wish they had that freedom to be joyous.
The bottom line is that Susan sings from the bottom of her heart and soul and she sings to us; fame and fortune mean nothing to her, she just wants to sing. In this world of manufactured and fake everything, that makes her a rare diamond. A diamond beyond price.

Now, since I cannot add any ingredients to the receipe or concockshun that TXNoelle & Bohemian Spirit are creating...I am going to retire for the nite.
I feel better that I said my peace to Dear Mr. Piers, on his Defence for Susan Blog. Also, I am on a happier note that the media mode is riding on "good" right now. It seems like it goes up and down like a "yo-yo", and as I said before I am not so sure the "yo-yo" string is not being controlled for whatever reason. Big Business and their games and ethics are beyondst me. All I can say...is let's keep it calm out there.
Another thing, that I believe Susan is picking and choosing her tour dates totally to her advantage, as brought up by Donna T. All I can say, is just don't over do it, girl! 26 shows is absurd for any act to do...and the other performers are also taking breaks.However, they get no bad vibes for doing so in the media. To have very little spacing between shows is absurd. They literally have to be out of their minds.

When his Blog page first comes up, click on News, and then look for his weekly article of Susan on the Daily Mail, he has his now famous article which he wrote a few weeks back called "Susan Boyle is a very feisty, funny, lady"...you can comment after that article as well. They don't publish everything..however I think they may also rotate some of the comments, so if you do not see yours there just keep checking.

Pickled Tink: Thank you for your beautiful expression of how you feel about Susan and why. I second it entirely.
The outward appearance is here today and gone tomorrow - tomorrow may take a little longer with botox etc but it's still gone tomorrow.
It is the soul that lasts forever... and that is what Susan is capable of reaching - our souls.

G'morning Susanites. 7 a.m. here in the Bluegrass state and hot as blazes.
Been reading the former posts to catch up a bit.
Misti, I like your idea of boycotting the advertisers in the rags. I live in the states so don't see the British rags, but we have plenty here that are just as bad. What we can do in order not to actually BUY those tabloids is simply pick one up in the grocery store and look at it just long enough to copy the sponsors, then write to them all and tell them what we're doing and why.
If enough of us do it, we can hit them in the pocketbook very nicely. People magazine too - any publication that prints negative articles about our Susan can be targeted, and the media as well. We can definitely hit Geraldo Rivera and any TV reporters who demean her, since their advertisers are right there in front of us.
If her publicity people aren't going to do their job, we can certainly make an impact with this tactic.

Good Morning from Texas~
Thanks pickled tink~ loved your post..it made me recall some of Susan's interviews where she sung..perfectly... right off the bat with no accompaniment,etc. I was surprised because I was used to stars on the talk shows not wanting to sing unless it was planned for in advance-very few if any would just sing "cold" like that...because they couldn't! Just goes to show that Susan is a natural "pro" and I find her more than refreshing...One of the many things I love about her is that she is so real~

tassiesandy - that would explain a lot! Surprised it hasn't been made public tho. I found an article about it, but it's not dated and I can't tell if it's a reliable source (if there is any such thing!). Apparently the threat was made by a poster on youtube. Went to youtube and did find reference to it there in some of the posts, but can't find the original death threat post. Apparently the poster is known for being quite vile, but this is over the top if it's true. The article suggests the original post has been removed - or at least that's what I remembered after I went away.
Wish I could find the article again, but I can't. However, what I remember (which is usually little and often inaccurate!) is the poster felt Susan should be removed because she was setting a bad example. Says ugly people shouldn't be allowed out in public and Susan was giving all the ugly people hope. Poster thinks ugly people need to be taught a lesson.
If it's true, it will have been devastating to Susan if she has been told. After all the years of bullying and now this. Oh how I do hope it's not true! But, if it didn't happen, why are there posts concerning it on youtube?
The poster was named, but I don't think I should repeat it here since I didn't personally read the original post.

And after missing the tour shows the 48-year-old star from West Lothian got a boost from dance group Diversity, who beat her in the TV final.
Dancer Jordan Banjo, 16, said: "Susan is the main attraction here on the tour - everyone wants to see her.
"When she's singing I just stand at the side of the stage and watch her sing - she's amazing.

I think Susan is wise enough to know that there will always be bullies and idiots in this world, but she also must know that a huge amount of love surrounds her. She is not a simpleton and is a lot tougher than people give her credit for, the mere fact that she is on the BGT tour at all says more to me about her strength of character than anything, when she could so easily have walked away. Fans need to beware of becoming mawkish or smothering and wanting to wrap her in cotton wool, she needs to spread her wings and fly, and it wont be easy; she may falter, and we need to be there to support her journey. We can not protect her from every single thing and every single possible hurt any more than we can for example protect our children from hurt. The best thing we can do is be there for them, defend her when it is appropriate to do so - for example in the press comments sections and e mailing Mr Clifford etc... and give them our unconditional love as a source of support to cope when things don't go quite according to plan, because life is not a bed of roses, so she can live her dream and live it the way she wants to live it.

Re recent Simon Cowell article posted by many newspapers. He is under alot of flak; Susan Boyle was the person who put his show into top ratings and he knows it. Nice to also see Amanda Holden (BGT judge) building a career in the USA largely as a result of Susan Boyle. I hope Amanda Holden pays Susan Boyle a commission fee for that.

I guess their white lies are so many they've now turned from white to grey and now to black...not too much light in their publications :-)

Heck, the airline will probably let her have Pebbles on the plane with her, just because they'd be honored, to have her on the plane. Obama can send Air Force One to pick her up.

Susan DVDs to download.
Just incase you've missed it, I have been creating DVDs of Susan's live concert performances for those who are technically unable to do so for themselves. These DVDs have been turned into ISO files, that you can easily download yourself. Using some simple (and free) software, you can turn those ISO files straight into a DVD (NOTE: you must use a blank DVD, a CD will NOT work!) that you can then take away and play on your home DVD player/TV just like any other. All the DVDs are in NTSC format for use in the US (they should also work anywhere else). There are currently 7 DVDs available. The procedure for creating them is the same for each DVD:
1. Go get the ISO file for the DVD you require - see the list below for the links to each DVD download (choose the 'free download' option - don't use 'premium' because it will cost. There is a 30 second delay before the download link will show for adverts to display).
2. Save it somewhere on your machine, and then unZIP (DVD 2 isn't ZIPped) the file (XP/Vista: right-click on the .zip file, then select 'Extract All'), which will create SUSANDVDx.ISO (where 'x' is the number of the DVD you've downloaded)
3. If you have your own ISO to DVD burner software (most versions of Nero, Roxio, Cyberlink should have this feature, or use ImgBurn again if you downloaded it before) then you can now use that to create your DVD from the ISO file
4. If you need an ISO to DVD burner (for free) then I would recommend ImgBurn: Click here to download
(Just click the blue 'Download' button, then save the .exe file, then run it to install)
5. To create your DVD with ImgBurn: Insert a blank DVD, run ImgBurn, Select 'Write Image File to Disc' option, click the folder image next to where it says 'Please select a file...' then browse to the SUSANDVDx.ISO file (where 'x' is the number of the DVD you've downloaded), then click the image at the bottom of the screen (with the green triangle in the middle of 2 pictures of a disc) to start creating the DVD. Let it do its stuff - it will tell you when it's done. (You may want to untick the 'Verify' tick box if you want your disc to be ready quickly).
6. Eject the disc, take it to your home DVD player and play it!
List of DVDs available with links (and file sizes):
DVD 1 - Birmingham: Click here to download (151Mb)
DVD 2 - Sheffield: Click here to download (this file isn't Zipped) (143Mb)
DVD 3 - Early Performances (Barrymore, Wedding, 2 in the Pub 1984): Click here to download (260Mb)
DVD 4 - Glasgow: Click here to download (160Mb)

Thx Stevieboy49 for highlighting it. It was one thing having tabloids poking fun at Susan for her appearance etc, it is completely another issue when someone makes jokes about death threats.

About death threats: I do know of one that was posted on Youtube and reported to the authorities. It was NOT a joke. I won't go into what this person said but it was an extremely serious matter. Another poster contacted the authorities in Scotland and also alerted the people at BGT about it. This was in the first couple of weeks after Susan's audition, and around that time she got her live-in "hunk" minder. I don't know if there was a causal relationship but moving him in with Susan was a good measure nonetheless.

FRAN M - I wouldn't worry. We do not know if it is true. However, I am sure the rumors are being thoroughly checked, and may possibly be the reason Susan has not performed for a few days. We must be open minded and trust she is being well cared for. I'm sure they would not let her back on stage if any real threats remain.
I, for one, am looking forward to the new videos of her next performance. Same songs, same dress - who cares. It's Susan I long to hear.

I read something about the threats yesterday and I wondered if that was part of why Susan hasn't performed at all the tour stops, whether it was her decision or BGT's. anyway we here surround her with much love, good thoughts and prayers. I believe it's an effective "forcefield."
I'd love to hear Susan sing "You raise me up", for her parents and for us, her loyal fans. and with our "forcefield" we raise HER up! we need her and she needs us.

@pgq and FranM..this is disconcerting news..and perhaps why Susan was bundled away when someone tried to get close to her after the Edinburgh concert.
Unfortunately, making threats carries no penalty. The FBI defended themselves after the shooting at the Holocaust Museum that even though the shooter posted many explicit threats in the internet there was nothing they could do about it..I agree it is wrong and he should have been branded as a potential terrorist!!!

@JennyZ1, Sadly, the attention seeking sickos who post stupid stuff usually only want the attention. Be sure the authorities will do all possible to determine if there is/was any danger. Wouldn't be at all surprised if others from the tour had equally ugly things posted. I'm afraid we are suddenly giving the sickos a lot of attention here.

GOOD MORNING SUSAWORLD----The 2 paragraphs below are the Susa-news from the article which is obviously an ad for America Got Talent---but anyways its POSITIVE for Susan!!
This past April, Susan Boyle, an unstylish, 47-year-old Scotswoman with frizzy hair, a wicked wit and a knockout voice, set the world afire with her rousing audition for “BGT.”
Boyle made it through to the finals, where she performed the song once again (with a somewhat more polished look).

This past April, Susan Boyle, an unstylish, 47-year-old Scotswoman with frizzy hair, a wicked wit and a knockout voice, set the world afire with her rousing audition for “BGT.”
Boyle made it through to the finals, where she performed the song once again (with a somewhat more polished look). She may have come in second to a dance troupe, but she remains first in the hearts of millions around the world—and reportedly brought a tear to the eye of tough-minded “BGT” and “American Idol” judge Simon Cowell.

@aliz - by 'blank DVD' I basically mean any format that can be written to, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW (whichever format your writer can handle - virtually all can write to both + and - formats). Just don't use the more obscure DVD-RAM format because that's a completely different format and won't work at all.

Wow, Kipper should lighten up somewhat. Let Tommy use his talents to show his love for Susan and share with us to enjoy. I wish I was so talented. Also, I would like to thank Tommy for his service to our country(I didn't realize he was in Vietnam). Without people like him where would we be today. Keep up the great videos Tommy and Kipper I'll remember you in my prayers.

Would people please refrain from repeating negative things here that you read in the tabloid press. PLEASE! you are only doing their horrible work for them. You are making it very difficult for the people who have to sort these things out. If they remove the source of evil they are still left with a trail of comments from nice people who are innocently helping these monsters.

The Wembley matinee will have begun by now - go sock it to them Susan!
As for the above comment from Danny Ramone - I quite agree, but it is difficult to refrain from trying to find out how Susan is when you have such a lack of bone fide information. Her PR team need to do much more to keep us informed about Susan, then we would not feel the need to "fuel the fire." It is they who are supposed to, as you put it, "sort these things out" and keep us informed and let's face it, they are not making much of a fist of it so far, now are they?

Good morning from Central NY. I just started reading some of the remarks left after (I at least)went to bed finally. terijay..the first account of "the kiss" was on Piers website and he said he spotted Susan upstairs by the dressing rooms and called to her. He said she ran down the stairs and jumped on him. It was a long kiss and that he would be dining on that the rest of his life. We may never know the truth, but I like that he said he will be dining on that the rest of his life...um.um?
Where did someone see that Piers said he has an emotional attachment to Susan? Guess we will have to wait for the real meaning of that. I can see any man falling in love with her, but, as I mentioned in another blog, Susan does not fit the mold of what most showman type are looking to present on their arm-plastic, botoxed, anorexic, and no personality. Sad, their loss. I hope we might be surprised. She is so adorable, actually beautiful on screen, and her own person. Is it also possible Simon really does have a soft spot for her?

Howdy Pards,
Well...you can bet that security is very tight at these arenas and theaters. There has always been good and
evil in the world. This is nothing new. And it is a sad but true fact that some kids grow up never knowing the difference between right and wrong...because their parents never knew. There is nothing more dangerous on earth than an ignorant human being... But, there are those who dedicate their lives to cleaning up these matters, swiftly, and efficiently...and you can bet that
they are on the job.
Meanwhile...you do everything you can to ensure safety...and you go on with the show. Yes, it takes courage. It always has taken courage to stand for what's
right. That's just the way it is.
They will find this kid...trust me...they will find him.
Meanwhile, let us focus on the joy, the happiness, the
inspiration and hope that is Susan Boyle...and not on fear
If we focus on fear...the bad guys win.

I think Simon Cowell should call a press conference and tell the world that Susan has no obligation whatsoever to fans, media or press to appear at any performance that she does not want to attend. All the big wigs at BGT have undoubtly failed her in countless ways, including not protecting her from the mob of fans that trample her everytime she leaves a building. She should have body guards protecting her at all times. The public seems to think that since they like her so much, that it is her duty to appear for their entertainment. Hocky Pock!!!!!! BGT should be busy filing lawsuits against newspapers and talk show hosts for reporting lies and suggesting that she is mentally ill, not just talking to her family, which I find insulting to her as a grown woman. She is not a child and can do whatever she sees fit. Hearing and seeing her sing is a privilage and an honor. I listen to her every single day and she lifts me up, but I don't think she owes me or anyone else an explanation for not appearing....

@ Wild Ol' Dan: hi just popping in for a few minutes..wanted to let you know that there was no security whatsoever at either show from my experience, compared to US it was very different..no bags searched, metal detectors..or anything. Not even the line dividers like they have at banks or airports..people just roam on in and find their seats..it is more like a country fair type of atmosphere. I found it to be very refreshing--like a throw back to the Andy Griffith show now on Nick at Night here in America..That's how I learned that on night 2 I could bring a real video camera because no one searched or cared, frankly. Have a good day! or as they say over there--Cheers!

Howdy Pards,
There's been an awful lot of advertising for America's
Got Talent lately. Well, let me just say that I do not
plan to watch it and I would not have watched Britains Got
Talent had it not been for the fact that Susan Boyle was
on that show.
The star here, in my humble opinion, isn't the show...
it is Susan.
It's Susan that I am celebrating...her talent, her personality, her life story, everything about her.
If Susan appears on America's Got Talent I will watch
that particular show. Truth is I will do my best to watch
any show that Susan appears on.
Now, am I grateful that Britains Got Talent brought Susan to our attention? Of course I am. You bet I am.
Britains Got Talent has good reason to be very proud of that. And, I, for one do not blame Britain's Got Talent,
Simon, Piers, Amanda or anybody with that show for anything, whatsoever.
I have said, and continue to say, that the only bad guy
in this whole thing is the British Tabloid Press. Period.
I believe that the Britains Got Talent Tour is giving
Susan Boyle a wonderful opportunity to gain experience in
singing in front of large crowds. She wants and needs that experience as her career moves forward.
Susan loves the roar of the crowd, the standing ovations, the wonderful responses she has been getting in performance after performance. Britains Got Talent is
giving her this opportunity for experience and you can bet
that Susan deeply appreciates it.
Simon will be taking Susan to record her CDs after the
tours...then, it's on to the States.
Susan's dreams are coming true because of Britains Got
Talent. Her fame, her future, her enormous popularity
around the world and especially here in the States is a
direct result of the chance she was given on an audition
stage in Glasgow. She took that chance and ran with it.
Susan is the star she always dreamed of becoming. I
believe we are in this outfit to celebrate her...past, present, and future. I wish those television shows success in the future, but I, for one, wont be followin' that trail...nope... I'll be followin' Susan.
Adios for now. Talk to ya on down the trail.

Marie-Fan-Forever Canada, Maria Jean, Aliz, Terijay, M.L., and Grey Grannie thank you for your responses to my post (yesterday) about Barbra -- apologies to anyone I may have not mentioned. Nice to know we have our affinity to both Susan and Ms. Streisand in common! Also nice to know some of us are around the same age :-). I do think one of the reasons Susan entered my heart as quickly as she did is that the passion with which she sings, her connection with every word of every song, and her obvious love of and devotion to her craft so reminds me of Barbra. Not to even mention the quality with which she sings.
So good to know Susan returned to the stage today; no doubt those Wembly arena fans are thrilled! Will be out and about today celebrating Father's Day with the family but will look forward to checking in with you all this evening to learn how Susan is today, how the performances went, and any and all news you may care to share. Have a good day all, and Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there.

A cake with the words We Love You Susan or I Dreamed A Dream iced on in words and the press might cover the story wondering how many Susan Boyle cakes were sold not to mention all the CD's. Perhaps this might give us an opportunity to get our minds off various negative things like the tabloid distortions etc, and get our minds on something more constructive and positive...or like the saying goes [forgive the large letters] BUT INSTEAD OF CURSING THE DARKNESS WE TURN ON THE LIGHT ? ?

Howdy Teesiel,
It's interesting that Security was lax at the two performances you attended in Scotland. I think, the
truth be known, we all long for things to be like they
were on the Ol' Andy Griffith show. But, it's a dangerous
world out there today...and, maybe, with the new threat,
security levels will change at the venues to come. Let's
hope that safety for all the performers and the audience
is being emphasized in the shows ahead.

I just posted on Piers wesite to appeal to him to help Susan fight the bad press. Here's what I wrote:
Piers ,while your lying around naked smelling like a hamburger,poor Susan is being eaten alive by the tabloid press. The stories are out of control and spreading like wildfire. Can't BGT do something to fight the backlash? Simon defended himself but couldn't he have defended Susan? Why can't you just set a schedule for her performances on the tour,allowing her days off,rather than waiting to the last to announce she won't be performing. Poor Susan is being used as a scapegoat. The other acts take nights off,but the press doesn't ridicule them. Everytime Susan takes a night off they say she got booted from the show. Can't Susan do an interview to show everyone she is fine?

About that thing we shouldn't mention: I did click on the link, and I wonder if that whole article was just a stupid blogger's attempt at "humor." They quote the UK paper "The Beaver." I cannot find any such paper (except for an economics report) and in the US that word is slang for a part of the female anatomy. Also in the article, there is a quote from Simon Cowell saying, if that [unnamed thing] happened, Susan would from "celebrity to eternal legend." Now, no matter what your opinion of Simon is, I think we can agree that he would NEVER say such a thing.

In my experience any kind of death threat (even meant as a joke) should be taken seriously. Some site members seem to disagree.

There is a writeup on the tv guide section in my local paper, "The Daily Breeze" this morning with Piers talking about AGT. He mentions Susan a lot, and he said also speaking of seeing Susan perform at the audition:
"At the time, Morgan says," I was getting quite emotional, and that's never happened to me before on any of these shows." I won't be watching AGT either, Dan..one reason it is on so late. 9-11 pm, and I work so I don't stay up that late. I kind of like Piers Morgan, so I may watch clips on the internet the day after, though just to catch him. Oh, and the only reason I like Piers is because Susan sees something in him, and I figure she sees something in him that is deeper than his public persona...

Just a thought... I would also like to offer support by purchasing her merchandise... BUT I want it to be something from which SHE benefits and as far as I can tell all the stuff out there is by others exploiting (IMO) her name to make a buck. Does anyone know if there are any sites out there where you can purchase SuBo items and SHE actually gets any profit from it?

As I said I have been reading the posts. It is good to know that we are so near the forum and other improvements. I have to say though that I too am puzzled that the first word of this was brought to us by you, ARosebush. I don't really understand your relationship or connection with Paul. Were you a friend or acquaintance of his prior to his starting this site? I know a number of members who have been here a good while, including myself, who have sent e-mails to Paul on various subjects at times, including suggestions for improving the site to make it more efficient, ways to decrease conflicts between those wanting different kinds of things from the site (not scolding people but ways to use structure to do it), all sorts of things. And to my knowledge, no one ever received a response of any kind from Paul. I know I didn't. That's why I don't understand how you got to be so close with him. From your posts, it almost sounds like you are in constant contact with him. Are you also helping to formulate any new rules that will govern the forum and site? That's why I wondered if you knew him earlier. And since no one is supposed to know any details about the forum and you are not allowed to share anything you know, I was curious as to why you mentioned it at all. Sort of like teasing everyone that you know something the rest of us don't. Why not just wait for Paul to roll the forum out without letting on you are in on it all?
Perhaps you can enlighten us about all this.

Good Sunday Morning, Susanation:
Very nice article on Susan in 'Entertainment&Showbiz News.com":
Susan Boyle: Desparately waiting for Susan’s debut album
Millions of Susan Boyle’s fans are awaiting Christmas for a rather different reason this year. Come December and we are likely to be bowled over by the Susan Boyle’s debut album.
It has been reported that Susan is working on her debut album and will try to bring it out by Christmas. Boyle, who was the runner-up on the show, sat in central London studio with producers from Simon Cowell’s record company, Sony Music.
The record is set to be “musical themed” - reflecting Susan’s love of West End stage shows. She is likely to sing a duet with her idol Elaine Paige for the new album.
And her BGT song ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ from Les Miserables is likely to be the opening track. “Wednesday was Susan’s first day as a recording artist - she had a brilliant time,” the Sun quoted an insider as saying.
“She talked about what songs she wanted for the album - it’s going to be a case of trying to pin her down to her favourite ten or so,” the insider added.
You bet, we are waiting for that album!

catsaloud, that blog article is definitely meant to be a joke, given that the show producer supposedly said that the tribute show would have enormous entertainment value! I think the author was making a statement about the twisted moral values of the business rather than aiming anything at Susan.
By the way, in many places in the USA someone can make all the threats they want against another person. The police won't do anything until there is actual action taken to carry out the threat (by which time it is often too late to do anything constructive!). I know from personal experience. Stalking laws may help where they exist, but otherwise you are just plain up a creek w/o a paddle.

One possibility for a lack of response by BGT with the press - they don't think its important.
The big money for Susan lies in the US. Simon has repeatedly talked about how America loves Susan and that he thinks she'll sell over 10M CDs.
The reality is that the British tabloids just don't carry any weight over here. The ardent fans, like on this site, don't believe them and the more casual fans can't be bothered.
The money involved in promoting her in the US will be substantial. They are already engaged in market research, etc. and most likely determined the best course of action is to ignore the British press and let it quiet down on its own. I think you'll see more proactive PR when she comes to the US.
Another reason I think this may be true has been the silence fro Susan's camp. It suggests to me that her new business manager, who knows what he is doing, thinks that this is also the best course of action.
I am starting to beleive they has far more control over this that we think. I think they are already focused on the next step (CD and US tour). I think that we are going to see Susan do a limited amount of the remaining tour, conserving her energy and working her CD.

I agree with Wild 'Ol Dan that the site should be kept positive and that is what I try to do with my posts. I frequently trash the tabloids on their own letter pages over how they treat Susan Boyle. I am a fighter for Susan. Concerning supposed threats to Susan Boyle detected by site members (e.g. 'stevieboy49')- I suggest that any amount of information (however small) at hand be given directly to the US FBI or UK Police via their web informer sites. When someone makes public death threats it is not a laughing matter.

OK folks, Paul asked for experienced folks to apply to serve as moderators. How many out there are "experienced" vs new bloggers (like me)? I doubt he told ARosebush to be hush hush about it since everyone else has been talking about it for weeks. As for being new, isn't it great that there are more new names showing up every day. I suspect most any of them would have more experience with a forum than me, so whatever Paul does is great. I suspect he has plenty else to do besides this site, does he not..and "among friends."

To bring comfort to some of Susan fans here upset about the threat thing. While its true anything is possible in life consider however the law of probabilities...if somebody was actually serious about carrying out something like this would they adverstise it to the world? Wouldn't that be counterproductive to what they claim they would like to do ? So while I wouldn't deny something shouldn't be taken with a measure of seriousness I would say the greater possiblity is it's just some nut sounding off for their idea of a sick joke.

I would be very careful about speaking about of the above matters ie 'death threats' here on our blog. There are people who come on our site and don't announce themselves, and read this blog. We need to be positive and nourishing towards Susan on this site. We don't want to initiate 'negative thought forms' here.

Susan doesn't actually have to come here to be on AGT...Satellite hook-up works just fine. That'll get the ratings up for that episode of the show for sure. Probably won't be the first night though. Kind a hope not since I'll be on the road on Tuesday. I actually have watched AGT and found it light entertainment. I also watched Celebrity Aprentice and Piers was actually the only voice of reason and humanity during his appearances there. Those are the only two "reality" shows I've watched!
And Wild Ol' Dan thanks for continuing to keep the posse headed on down the road in the right direction. Wagon's ho!

@patriciasart, I think your right. No one in my social circle is following her story.They haven't a clue about the tabloid press. My family thinks I'm becoming obsessed with Susan,my husband rolls his eyes at me,my daughter thinks I should take a chill pill. If I bring her up to discuss whats going on in the press,they don't want to talk about it. They will tolerate a story or two but I can see they are not interested. So I agree ,people in the USA will have a chance to make their own judgements when she comes here to sing. What a refreshing change that will be for her. I'm sure she will get plenty of positive press.

Again the news coming today is both good and bad. I suppose if the production scheduled Susan to perform twice today it just means she's alright. As for threat allegations, Susan's security must of course be taken seriously, but we can't start fretting about that too or this would really become too much to bear... I often pray for her to be allowed to sing, just sing her heart out ... Is there anything else we can do? This world is a shame!

@patriciasart: The AGT show has the first show on the 23rd- Tuesday night-not sure how many weeks it runs- most likely Susan will not appear ( if she does) until much later maybe even after all the audition shows...Have a feeling she would fly to Vegas where it is filmed, I believe, to see Piersy.

Really makes me curious about the business side of a CD...many have given a list of good songs for Susan to sing but 1) do the original composers of these songs even give permission to use them and 2) what type of royalities do they receive for allowing it. And I wonder how many songs are out there that you don't have to pay royalties to use them.

Celebrities have been appearing on AGT toward the end of the season, so Susan probably wouldn't appear until then, either. I'm sure they arrange it that way to ramp up viewership for the finals.

Hi, we've been watching the site for quite some time now, I guess, soon after it started. I've spotted a really pretty lady in this neighborhood. She's got a nice owner too. Her owner sings to her and has a really pretty voice. I heard her say, (although I haven't met her personally) that her owner has been singing for lots of other people too, not just her anymore. That's a little bit hard, but she trusts her and knows she'll be back to sing to her again often. She knows she loves her and misses her.
Well, me and my siblings gotta take off, Mom's taking us on an outing. (Our mom's name is Calico, by the way.) mew

Susan needs a voice break - the following blog post is well written on the subject.
http://susanboylefanclub-usa.blogspot.com/2009/06/britains-got-talent-schedule-cruel-and.html
I said the same thing many times in several posts in the last 2 weeks on this site. Susan has to pick her venues on the tour, otherwise she will destroy her voice. I cannot believe BGT organisers can put the finalists through a live performance schedule of 25 dates in under 6 weeks; particuarly for solo singers like Susan. Unbelievable.

Do the AGT live shows work like the BGT ones? i.e. are they in a short space of time etc...? We had past winners and finalists appearing in the semi's for BGT. If that is the pattern for AGT Susan could conceivably appear in one those shows, but one hopes they plan it with care and allow her to chose what she sings and not go for the predictable IDAD one - though she could do two songs - and round off with IDAD I suppose. It is her signature tune and everyone wants to hear it.

Okay... I just wrote my first boycott letter (I avoided that word) to a MAJOR popular magazine (in the USA)and am making a list of their advertisers. I am going to look for the names of the presidents of their advertiser companies and begin sending out snail mail letters to all of them saying I will not longer buy their products if they continue to go along with this. Not sure if I should say the name of the magazine on here or not so will refrain. :) Those trashoids want war they will get war... BUT I will try very hard to do so in a kind, gracious way. :)

Aliz: You asked my source for the current threat. Your quote: "Hey catsaloud and fran, I want to know where your sourse for this current threat is coming from." So, I have copied the blog post where I first heard about it this morning. I guarantee you that Tassiesandy meant no harm in her post. She was just concerned, but here it is:
Posted by tassiesandy on June 21, 2009
I was trolling through the web today and found an item saying that Susan has had death threats, does anyone know whether or not this is true. If so, it's no wonder she's terrified, as if it's not bad enough being plunged onto the world stage but that as well.
I had not heard anything about this prior, and so I naturally thought it is current and I got worried. Again, Tassiesandy meant absolutely no harm in her post. It was innocent on her part, I am positive of that.

HE said this on a british interview. He thinks it will be better, he was so shocked with the respone the world had with regards to susan. And this is why he is making it with a bigger live audience.

By the way, I was in Brooklyn last night at a wedding at the El Caribe.
Have a wonderful vacation in Susan's home town!

Hi aroseblush, Piggie is right-at the bottom of the article in red, it states 'The story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.'
If it were true, how could Susan possibly work on her CD and have somewhat of a normal life? I questioned the veracity of the article as soon as I started reading it.

@aroseblush - The Spoof is a site devoted to satire...it doesn't even pretend to be legitimate. One would only ever click on that site if in the mood for some comedy or, as it is often, verging on dark satire. Definately a site to 'pass over' if you're looking for legitimate news about anything :-)

I've been reading up on this morning's posts, and I haven't yet seen anyone respond to the question of how American Idol is run here in the U.S. It, along with Dancing With The Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, and probably America's Got Talent, appear two consecutive nights a week. Voting opens at the close of the first show, then the following night, those being eliminated are announced. The bottom three are announced, and then (I think this is right - at least this is how it's handled on "So You Think You Can Dance) those three get to "sing for their lives," and the judges then make the decision as to who gets eliminated. They then have 6 days to prepare for the next competition, and the judges select the genre of music to be performed and interpreted by the contestants. The contestants, during that week, get tips and reviews from a professional in the selected genre.

CatsAloud: I agree about Susan's CD sells. I have to be honest.... I didn't know who Paul Potts was until Susan. So, at least one person who did not buy a PP CD will be buying a Susan CD. I think Susan's music has a broader appeal.

Which is great to see in this day and age. we get inondated with so much bad feelings And Susan came along and made us look at things with more hope and a lot more love. This site feels great.I imagine we all have a little more happiness and spring in our step because susan showed us that there is a lot more out there for us to strive to achieve and kindness to give, and to look at things with wonderment. And have fun and a cup of tea or two along the way.

Another supportive post on Susan from the picked up by Examiner.com TV UnScripted written by Anthony Campbell.
The phenomenon known as reality television or as the industry likes to refer to as unscripted programming is beginning to gain momentum. You need only to pick up a magazine in past few weeks to see what impact reality shows have had. They drama is no longer confined to the TV screen.
Just a few weeks ago we were blown away by an extraordinary performance by a seemingly ordinary British woman. Susan Boyle’s performance on “Britain’s Got Talent” made her an international sensation. Her performance was put on YouTube and it went viral. Boyle ended up not winning the competition, but it’s reported that she now commands nearly $190,000 for a performance. What a consolation prize.

patriciasart Vegas has always been the true test for performers. If they can make it in Vegas they can make it any where. Back in his early years Elvis didn't get accepted at Vegas at all. They booed him and even threw things at him. Years later, once R&R had been widely accepted, then he was about the biggest hit ever on Vegas stages. It's a fact there is a lot of money to be made in Vegas and I think Susan would be very popular there.

@carnegie61- why would she not "be allowed" ?Susan is not under house arrest, of course she can go to church if she wants to go. The problem is more likely to be ensuring that the press do not encroach on her private spiritual time, or maybe they have a priest come over to provide communion for her. They are certainly never going to deny her the opportunity to practice her faith.

I think it's the smarmy expression on PIERSY BABY'S face that bothers me the most.

@DannyG: I believe Aroseblush did explain it above. In the blog page below the picture, Paul requests people who want to serve as moderators to contact him. Aroseblush wants to be a moderator and did that. So he sent her a link to look at the new forum. As it is still under construction, he did not want her to share the link because while a site it under construction it is confusing to have people accessing it. So she decided to tell us about it without providing the link. In hindsight, maybe she's sorry she said anything at all??

@terijay. Why do you presuppose that Piers Morgan is a classy guy? This guy used to be editor of UK tabloid gutter press. In my opinion he is tainted for life from that and may be that is why he needs to have the new Burger King perfume to try and cover the taint.

I have to say though that I too am puzzled that the first word of this was brought to us by you, ARosebush. I don't really understand your relationship or connection with Paul. Were you a friend or acquaintance of his prior to his starting this site? I know a number of members who have been here a good while, including myself, who have sent e-mails to Paul on various subjects at times, including suggestions for improving the site to make it more efficient, ways to decrease conflicts between those wanting different kinds of things from the site (not scolding people but ways to use structure to do it), all sorts of things. And to my knowledge, no one ever received a response of any kind from Paul. I know I didn't. That's why I don't understand how you got to be so close with him. From your posts, it almost sounds like you are in constant contact with him. Are you also helping to formulate any new rules that will govern the forum and site? That's why I wondered if you knew him earlier. And since no one is supposed to know any details about the forum and you are not allowed to share anything you know, I was curious as to why you mentioned it at all. Sort of like teasing everyone that you know something the rest of us don't. Why not just wait for Paul to roll the forum out without letting on you are in on it all?
Perhaps you can enlighten us about all this."

If Paul or whoever can make this the official Susan Boyle fan site, I really congratulate him/her for that. Two months now Susan Boyle has been in the public domain without an official fansite - its about time an official site was listed. So far, this site is the best. Whoever is looking after Susan Boyle's interests should take that into consideration when selecting an official website and fan club. Grats to Paul and the team for building up a great site that permits constructive and intelligent dialogue and with great video posts.

America's Got Talent judges or producers keep saying they're looking for an American type Susan Boyle and may have found a couple potentials in their auditions....perhaps but I doubt it....just based on the law of probablities....I think a unique style voice like Susan Boyle only shows up say once in twenty years....yes good singers come along and we might even buy their CD's but not on the same level as Susan's. If one were to compare it to sports you would have professionals who make up the national league but there are only one or two superstars.

Sadly AND unfortunately all this is being left to whomever Susan's contracted to and/or her publicist(s). I for one CAN'T believe Susan herself isn't aware of Susan-Boyle.com, surely SOMEBODY is keeping bean counts of website hits on this & other Susan Boyle fan sites, including more than a few "under the radar," including one am currently a member of! Unfortunately as well, unless Susan herself - personally - declares Susan-Boyle.com as being HER fansite it'll be some other, maybe a number of them - susanboyle.com BTW is STILL up for sale on "make offer" basis by sedo.com.

Unfortunately as well, unless Susan herself - personally - declares Susan-Boyle.com as being HER fansite it'll be some other, maybe a number of them - susanboyle.com BTW is STILL up for sale on "make offer" basis by sedo.com.

@bohemian spirit: may be the Piers Morgan Burger King perfume was designed as a gutter press smell indicator (allows you to smell a paparazzi within 100 meters and also so they can attract their friends from under the streets).

Can't wait for the new Susan video if there is one. I hope she had a good concert this afternoon. Take care ya'll and cya later.

Catsaloud. There are at least two sites that I have found during my extensive trawl of the net that claim to be Susan's "official fan club site" - neither come close, IMHO, to matching this site in terms of composition, fan devotion, intelligent comment (for the most part!), video skills and even culinary prowess! I am sure that once Paul has had time to devote to completing his work, this new OFFICIAL site will be up and running with all the usual contributors (what is it, now, 23,000? and counting???)
Are there any forum moderators out there, btw? I have e-mailed Paul to enquire exactly what that job entails, but no reply has yet been forthcoming.
Meanwhile, I think that another Newcastle seems to be brewing - we, from memory, had to wait ages for news of Susan's performance and this Wembley matinee seems to be following the same pattern. Let's hope we don't have to wait too much longer!

No word either about Susan singing anything other than those we've heard on BGT before BTW.

Unfortunately, discernment doesn't come with age. I have friends who have been married 2/3 times. And, look at the Hollywood crowd - Liz Taylor married 7/8 times. And her friend, Mickey Rooney's famous quote:
"Always get married in the morning, That way, if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted the whole day."
I do worry about Susan's crush on Piersy Baby. Given her lack of male attention, I can see why she would be overly flattered by his attention. I've always questioned his true sincerity when it comes to Susan. It seems to me that his ulterior motive is to promote himself - Piers first, Susan second. I just don't want her to wound up having her feelings hurt.

DannyG:
Gosh what a can of worms I opened here. Sorry for the misconceptions. No, I do not know Paul, personally. I know he is working hard on this new site. Yes, I have spoken to him both on this site a few days ago, and have emailed him and he very kindly responded to my email yesterday afternoon late. My interests are twosome. I would like to get the CD Contests, 'Songs Susan will Sing' on her new CD organized for the members. Paul likes the idea as well. It will be fun for the fansite, and something different for us to put our energies into. He suggested having CD's as prizes for the members who guessed closest to the correct songs on Susan's new CD. I agreed. When he suggested on the forum that this was the topic of the new blog several days ago, everyone in their enthusiam, rushed to add their list to this blog. I wrote Paul back via email, and asked him if we could have a separate link for the membership to post their songs in an orderly manner. It would impossible to go thru all these blogs to see the submissions of those posting their songs. This was just a matter of organization. Paul answered me back in an email yesterday. He hopes to find a space for the submissions on the new site.
In my email to him, I also mentioned that if he was looking for moderator's for the new site, I would be happy to put my name in the pot to help him out. He also responded to me on this. (He had mentioned on this top of this blog, that he was looking for 'experienced moderators' for this new site). He then stated, that If I wished to be a moderator to go the new site (listed the URL for me) and register. I did. There is more that I could say about this, but right now choose not to.
That is the entire story. There is no reason for me to be defensive here. My motives were purely innocent. As for the other issues you bring up in your email, DannyG, I did not discuss any of those concerns with Paul. I was really only interested in getting the CD Contest kicked off in an organized way. I think it would be fun.
I hope this answers all questions as to my relationship with the site administrator. My interest here is to support and nourish my heroine, Susan Boyle!

I was on the chat room for an hour and no one has heard really anything about the matinee, except the one twitter- I am sure there are more on twitter, but I hate that site. Too much ego- from the celebrities there mostly. The most lovely and humble of the celebs on twitter is of course, Dame Elizabeth Taylor.
I only joined Twitter myself last month, because I read in the TIMES she was twittering from her hospital bed, and sure enough it was TRUE. She doesnt tweet much, though, but when she does it is meaningful.

I have been a member of this site since its first week and have become acquainted over the last 2 months with Susan fans around the world. I’ve had many pleasurable conversations, watch numerous feuds come and go and yet the group held together. If someone posted something I didn’t agree with, I have enough common sense to ignore it and moved on thinking in a free country we are allowed to have personal opinions. I am 65 years old, a scientist who works full time in a research facility and fully capable of making up my own mind as what and what not to read and able to see through BS without advice.
Regarding the proposed moderator…it will be a terrible shame if the individual selected has the heavy hand of an ayatollah instead of a peacemaker like Tommy. I don’t take kindly to being bossed around and would have to seriously re-consider my membership!!

probably through the evenin' show. Let's see, it's nearly
3:30 on the East Coast plus 5 hours would make it 8:30p.m.
in England...if the show started at 6:30 well we had oughta be seein' or hearin' somethin' real soon...
Keep your eyes peeled folks...somethin's bound to show

@pottedferne: Have you been on other moderated forums? Maybe your experiences have been different from mine, but in most cases there are specific guidelines which are made public, and the mods review posts to make sure they are adhering to the guidelines. We have freedom of speech here, so disagreements are certainly not rejected. But abusive, rude, bullying, swearing are more typical reasons for posts to be rejected.

@stevieboy49. I agree. I was initially very sceptical of this website, but I have to congratulate the organisers in being able to attract an intelligent, conversant, and humorous membership. Of course not every one can agree on any particular subject discussed in the forum (forums are also about discussion after all on topics)...but with humour and respect for all members all views can be safely accommodated and which seems to be the general case so far (a situation which is rare to see on many blogs these days). I wholeheartedly agree with the site mods as recommended, and yes we should have a separate scottish cooking page!!! :)

Just watch the tone change now that we have a video of Susan's first performance today-----that's what everyone has been waiting for, frothing at the bit, chewing their nails and each other, etc. NOW we can purrrr away discussing all the details of Susan's afternoon performance at Wembley. Just click on the link that DocRobbie provided above and it'll take you right to the UTube page. And shortly our trusted administrator Paul will start a new blog featuring this latest performance...and then everyone switches over to that and the conversation continues---each blog is running about 1000+ comments before a new one starts. GOOD LUCK and Welcome aboard!!

And the audience reaction was fab, too. Cheering and shouting and clapping and from the sound of it, many were youngsters which pleases me no end.

Hopefully, whoever is selected will be someone as wise as Tommyusa rather than someone trying to crack the whip on what that person thinks should be posted here. The selected moderator will set the tone of the blogs and will facilitate welcoming new members or dampen new membership.
But I have no doubt that as vocal and passionate as the members here are about this site and Susan, that any heavy handedness would be discussed, reported and corrected quickly. Paul has done a really good job with this site and I trust him in his development of it.
I am waiting with much anticipation for news of our dear Susan. I have to travel to Surfside beach for a little R&R till tomorrow, but I will check back this evening for any news.
Happy Father's day to those fathers out there. I imagine our guys who are usually here but are obviously absent and missed are spending time with their family and children.
Take care everyone. I love you Susan, I know your going to wow them at your concerts today!

YAAAAAAY!!! She's back!!! How wonderful to see her and hear that luscious voice once again. She put back that bit of "wellie" in it again,---but just a bit. SOOOOO great to hear Susan again! Seems like forever for this starved soul!!

Well, if the media's intent in printing scurrilous rumors about Susan's behavior was to manufacture a negative audience reaction when she appeared at Wembley, it appears that the strategy failed. The crowd sounded most supportive and enthusiastic.

Most moderated forums have specific guidelines which are made public to everyone on the site, and the mods review posts to make sure they are adhering to those guidelines. We have freedom of speech here, so disagreements are certainly not rejected. Things like abusive posts, bullying, swearing, posting confidential information, are more typical reasons for posts to be rejected. So everyone please calm down. I'm sure this is not going to turn into a communist regime here.

@aaron. People do get upset every now and then, but we recover. If a couple of people get on topics I don't care about, or if I don't like their comments, I move past them quickly, and in time ignore them totally. I think the sheer volume of people means you will get a mix. I take a breather every now and then because it's the first time I've been on a fan site and did any blogging. I like being around Susan's people.

She was a little low energy on some notes of Memory, as I am sure all will agree- her voice needs a rest- but she handled it beautfully, and smiled a lot and hit the "Money notes" greatly- then of course, she nailed IDAD - perfect on that one....Memory is a VERY tough song to sing...In my humble opinion, she should sing that one second not first. What i loved was her blowing the graceful charming kisses!!! What a gal! WE LOVE HER SO MUCH- by now the night show is over. Go rest, dear lovely Susan....your next stop is SCOTLAND tuesday!!!

My pleasure! I love these where we can hear both songs together, with the cheering in between too; gives us the best impression overall I think. I noticed that too! Maybe a relative or a friend who came to see her or somebody who yelled out something nice perhaps?
At 1:24 when she goes "Every street lamp" she also seems to be looking at someone in particular but maybe I am imagining it. :)

People I am a long time user of internet forums and have been and still am a moderator on them. There is nothing to be getting worked up about honestly :-)
As the forum owner Paul will appoint a team of moderators and their job will be to ensure the smooth running of the forum as Paul obviously cannot be around all the time to do this himself. All the moderators will do will be to make sure there are no bullies, distasteful remarks or links posted and otherwise make sure the forum rules are adhered too as well as to be on hand to guide people thro the forum system if they do need help and otherwise ensure that things stay pleasant and polite.
It will be a great asset and I am sure people will be delighted with the new forum when it launches.

Susan has had 2, of not 3, days of rest. That combined with the fact the audience was remarkably quiet during the performance makes the audio incredibly CLEAR.

And now we wait for this evening's videos---I'm not sure my heart and soul can stand the strain!!! It will be fun to have the comparison of the 2 performances on the same day!!!!

Two wonderful videos. Susan really excelled. It was so nice to hear her so clearly without all the Woohooing. It just seemed so much more professional and the audience was very receptive. Finally an audience who really appreciated her and wanted to be able to hear her. Can you imagine what all her CDs will be like as she really hones her technique and without the distraction of audience cheering. The audience finally showed her real respect. That, I think is a tribute to Susan's talent and acceptance that she is on the way to being a great artiste.

Just seen her rendition of Memory - OMG, what a performance - I truly think that that is the best I have ever heard Susan sing.

I can't think of any professional singer who could have sung it any better.

Hi, Sueandpebbles - Agree with you regarding the moderator role. What a moderator most needs to understand is that he or she is a facilitator, not the leader.
How can you tell a good moderator from a bad one?
Well, a good moderator is virtually invisible, doing his or her job quietly and behind the scenes.
A bad moderator calls attention to himself or herself and exerts a heavy hand within the community.
WIth a good moderator, the community's unity of purpose is preserved and strengthened, despite the inevitable disagreements that will occur. With a bad moderator, the community splits into factions, and common purpose is ultimately destroyed.

I love the teeseil videos too fort the close ups but for the sound quality this was much much better without the yelling fans. It was if the audience realized what a treat they were getting and very much wanted to hear every word and note she sang, and watching her for every gift she put out there. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW! I am going where ever she is to see her if I have to campout and wait in line I'll do that too! That was stupendous!!!!!

Just watched and listened to Memory from Wembley. This has got to be her finest rendition of that song to date. Susan souned strong and confident, her stage presence has improved 10 fold and it seems like she has finally "gotten it" that she is exactly where she is supposed to be and doing precisely what God has intended for her to do. I'm a blubbering idiot once more, and now need to get myself presentable for more Father's Day fun.
If I was a father, my day of fun would be sitting right here looking at all the videos of Susan I can find and wishing her well.But, that's not the case so I must get my butt in gear. Love indeed is found in the most unexpected places. Really looking forward to hearing and seeing today's performance of I Dreamed a Dream, but looks like that will need to wait bit.

@RuthF - Thank you for your comment about good vs. bad moderation. I completely agree: A good moderator is a facilitator among equals, using a gentle touch to keep things flowing, not a heavy-handed controller type. I've seen both styles on boards and communities online (as well as in management and parenting in real life) and I can tell you that the gentle approach is FAR more effective, and wins far more respect, than the command-and-control style. Thanks again for expressing that difference so clearly!

I couldn't. I am now, once again, a total complete blubbering idiot!! Thank you for posting that Patriciasart, thank you. No doubt about it, today is one of Susan's best to date. Can you even imagine the level of grace and sophistication she will soon be performing with? I mean, she is already performing with those attributes as it is, but she keeps getting better and better and more and more confident. If we think we are blown away now, can you imagine what this woman will sound like with a full orchestra behind her? I'm going to start rambling and noone deserves that so I will sign off now. Best to everyone, bye.

Oh you lucky SusaFans. I have the worst trouble with IE to search for anything....Yahoo butts in and disrupts my search options.
Was Susan wonderful? I am so glad she got ovations...Oh she will be so pleased. Yeah, Susan!!!
I guess I will have to wait for the videos to be uploaded on this page. Oh woe. I imagine it was the matinee for this performance. We can now look forward to tonights. It is about 9:00 p.m. now so, depending on when she appears in the line-up, we will see more!!! Yeah.
It has been "a long time between drinks", as they say.

Have you noticed Susan's enunciation when she sings? Yet, when she speaks in the interviews, her shyness and her accent make it rather difficult to understand her. But every word in her songs is clear and precise! She was surely born to sing, for sure!

Regarding moderator, new forum, etc., I think all of these issues/questions should be emailed to the site originator. The negative comments/questions/etc directed toward aroseblush are mis-directed. Please contact the site originator and keep this a positive place. And, please, don't threaten to bail out before you even know what the new forum will be like. Remember! It's about Susan! That's what we all have in common. I have a feeling the new site is going to function much better than this one. I'm looking forward to it.

re:moderator/new website
Forgive me saying so, but I think it would have been more *discete* and *chic* not to have mentioned *anything_at_all* about the new website and your possible position there untill everything will be officialy announced.
Even if Paul didn't explicitly mention to keep things 'sub rosa', it goes without saying that one does so.In a situation like this (o.a.)discretion is #1, as far as I am concerned.
Another thing I don't like, forgive me, is the way you answer people when they ask you very justified questions on where-when-why, how about diplomacy, 'building bridges' and last but not least,friendliness?
Also, I rather hear about the website 'crew' (to be) from the admin *himself* and not from one person that applied to be a moderator, sorry again, not chic!

Hello Grits T!!!!..It's been awhile...I took a break after having to use my "coaching voice" but was having serious withdrawl ;-O..so am back and things seem better. Yes, I noticed her enunciation when she sings..little accent, but today especially in Dream she finishes words, the "T" in beat and night are audible (there are others, those are just examples)..It is so amazing that not only does she get better with each performance (how can she get better each time is beyong me when she is so fantastic to start with) but each rendition has a different feel, different words and emotions highlighted, different singing techniques used in different places....loved the "Hell I'm living" and "gone when autumn came" this time..she is so incredible and really extraordinary and becomes more so each time she sings......Must go and take the Bluebonnets(Texas State Flower) off my grandmothrs grave and replace them with summer wildflowers that grow in Texas...see everyone after tonights performance...wonder what she will do different tonight?...can't WAIT...Love to all

Hi everyone and Happy Fathers' day to all the daddies here.
I don't comment much, being an observer more than anything. One aspect I would like to comment on is the Michael Barrymore video where Susan is singing and the stupid prat is trying to look up her skirt.
You over the other side of the Pond won't have heard of Barrymore but he was very popular in the 80's in Britain until he was caught up in a scandal where a man was murdered at his house when a drunken/drug loaded orgy took place.
Anyhow, Susan never waivered from her singing, even kneeling down (when Barrymore was laying on the ground) to sing to him. She was brilliant.
I bet (and hope) he is kicking himself right now at having missed such a talent on his show!
I am straight to Youtube to find today's video.

I love the way Susan is experimenting with each performance and trying out new things to keep it fresh. In a way I look at this tour as Susan's apprenticeship and she is coming top of the class, graduating with honours. She is learning so much and each performance she shows us something new. I especially liked the softer version of Memory today, I wonder what she will do with ti next. I can hardly wait to see.

Hi, Sueandpebbles - Agree with you regarding the moderator role. What a moderator most needs to understand is that he or she is a facilitator, not the leader.
How can you tell a good moderator from a bad one?
Well, a good moderator is virtually invisible, doing his or her job quietly and behind the scenes.
A bad moderator calls attention to himself or herself and exerts a heavy hand within the community.
WIth a good moderator, the community's unity of purpose is preserved and strengthened, despite the inevitable disagreements that will occur. With a bad moderator, the community splits into factions, and common purpose is ultimately destroyed.
10-4 what you said, Ruth. That's the name of that tune.

Howdy Pards,
It's kinda funny watchin' all of us in this here outfit
get so worked up when we ain't heard Susan for a spell.
Then, she walks out on that stage and with a strong, clear, confident, beautiful voice does magic once again
before our very eyes and ears. And we love the absolute
thrill of it all!
Did ya notice the MC's comments today? "Britain's Got
Talent...Britain's Got...SUSAN BOYLE!" I thought that was
kind of a nice touch...and sure no denyin' the truth of
that now is there?
So our joy and happiness and tears return once again as
we see this wonderful lady take to the stage and do what
she does best.
And we eagerly anticipate her next performance...and her next...and her next.
Now, it's a good bet that many of us never considered
the music of the theatrical stage to be our favorite kind
of music. Shucks, I'm an Ol' cowhand far more used to
Tumblin' Tumbleweeds and Home on the Range than I am to
music from Les Miserables or Cats. And, yet Susan has
rounded up the biggest herd of fans ever from all parts
of the world, all backgrounds, all musical tastes and with
the power, the magic, the wonder of her Angelic voice and here unmistakable grace...she's bound us together as a world-wide family.
Yep, a world wide family celebratin' a wee lassie from
Scotland. Kinda funny...and kinda wonderful too.
It's downright good to be a part of this here outfit...
kinda fun too. Cause there ain't nuthin' like the feelin'
we get when our Susan walks out on that stage and sings with all her heart and soul... Reckon you could say that's she's gettin' downright good at bringin' joy to this ol' world of ours...we feel that joy deep in our hearts everytime they just "let the lassie sing."
Adios for now. Talk to ya on down the trail.
Wild Ol' Dan

Several years ago I saw a TV special on Pavarotti. In it, he was commenting on the opera Rigoletto. He described it as a "massacre". The reason being that it opens with a very difficult aria that he has to sing with with a cold voice.
What's amazing in these live performances is that see is singing very difficult songs with with a cold voice and nailing them. In one of the interviews with Elaine Page she commented that IDAD is a very difficult song to sing.
I would be interested in what some of the singers in this group have to say on this.

Fano123, Having sung a bit in my past, I would be absolutely flabbergasted if Susan is singing "cold." I would assume she begins early in the morning doing the various vocal exercises prescribed for singers before they perform. I'm not saying she does warm up that voice, I have no way of knowing that, of course. I am only saying I would be totally amazed if she didn't.

I can only see her getting better and better and into her stride, with confidence abounding.
By the way, has anything more been said about her singing for Barrack Obama at the 4th July celebrations?

Fano 123, having just said what I did about Susan warming up her voice before performing, I may have to take that back, maybe she doesn't. But, remember when she sang for us in some of her interviews. She probably had no prior knowledge she would be asked to sing, sang a capella, and was pitch perfect sounding like an angel (I am especially remembering Whistle Down the Wind. So who knows. Maybe part of her routine every morning is to warm up those vocals whether she knows she will be singing later in the day or not.
And, now I truly must turn off this computer and be with the family. It's just hard to do. Once I start reading about Ms. Boyle, it's very hard to stop!

Can someone please tell me how to answer someone's post so that the answer appears right under the poster's name like Meggy answering Kalua above? It's embarrasing to ask, but I am very technically challenged :-). Thanks in advance.
Zoey just highlight the post you want to quote, then right click to "paste" it into the "post a comment" box and add your thoughts underneath. I hope this helps :-)

Oogles, it seems odd to me that some in Britian think Americans haven't heard of Michael Barrymore or Elaine Paige and many other famous English actors and singers.
We do get International news here in the U.S. lol Some of us are also fans of the Broadway style shows made in English and Ireland. We knew all about Riverdance before it came to New York. We heard about Barrymore's murder trial. We listen to Colm Wilkinson and Ruthie Henschal and have a dvd of Les Mis with them, were as much in love with Princess Diana as any people could be, still follow the lives of Prince William and Prince Harry. I also know that the Duke of Edinburgh is of Danish and Greek descent and may be distantly related to me as I have Royal Danish ancestry dating back to King Canute of Denmark when he conquered England. lol I can, also, trace my roots back to Robert, the Bruce and one of my ancesters was the Lord of the Horse and Household under Queen Mary Tudor, dau. of Henry the VIII.
We may be Southern American, but we ain't slow. hahaha

What is your take on her technique. I know for opera and stage singing its important to have proper technique, like singing from the diaphragm lest you injure your vocal cords.
In the Pavarotti special he commented that young opera singers are burning out early because they are focused more on recording vs the stage. As a result they are not developing the proper technique.
Susan has demonstrated considerable power in these live shows. Especially in the early shows to get over the crowd noise. In today's performance, because the crowd was quiet, I thought she purposely turned the power down.
Your thoughts?

She looked rested to me, and sounded great. It was a relief to see her, and I thought it was a very strong performance. She is our Scottish Wonderwoman and we love her madly, and there'll be nae more cr@p! She is what has brought us all together and has made us all forget our differences and simply gather to enjoy what we have in common. It is not this particular IP address or any individual proclaiming regulations, or any money making scheme, but simply our shared love of Susan that makes this group of people pretty special wherever we may gather, and I, just a fan like the rest of you, think that's enough.

Guys, how about giving aroseblush a break. The subject came up late last night when only a handful of us were around. And here the same thread is now over 1,000 entries. Who would have thought it would be posted so long? She is a nice lady. So many of us know that. She is also an experienced businesswoman and uses the language of a woman comfortable with authority and decision-making. Will that make her a termagant? I think not. Some of you sound like cranky siblings vying for your daddy's attention on this father's day. Paul is not a father figure. That's your own projection, if you think of him that way. I, for one, do not want someone moderating this site, should I ever have any contact with them, who tells me I am loved every time they speak. Now that would really rile me up. I am not a needy infant. Let's let good sense and patience prevail here.

By the way, your ancestry is very impressive. I think you must be a distant relative of Susan Boyle, she cannot hold back the tide any more than King Canute could!

Boyle in triumphant stage return
Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle has made a triumphant return to the stage after missing four concerts this week on the talent show's live tour.
The 48-year-old singer received a standing ovation when she appeared at Wembley Arena, in north-west London.
She sang I Dreamed A Dream from the musical Les Miserables, which brought her international fame when she first performed it on the ITV1 show.
She missed shows in Liverpool, Cardiff, Nottingham and Manchester over stress.
'On their feet'
A spokeswoman for the show said the crowd were "on their feet for her" as well as for the TV show's winners, the dance group Diversity.
Boyle also sang her semi-final tune Memories, from the musical Cats, during the course of her two performances at Wembley.
The church worker from Blackburn, West Lothian, was taken to the Priory Clinic in London hours after she was beaten by Diversity.
Judge Piers Morgan said she had been emotionally drained and exhausted, and Simon Cowell admitted she had found it difficult to deal with the stress.
Millions of people worldwide have watched her TV performances on the internet, and film star Demi Moore and singer Elaine Paige are among her celebrity fans.
The Britain's Got Talent live tour ends in Bournemouth International Centre on 5 July.
There are 12 more shows at venues in Aberdeen, Birmingham, Coventry, London, Dublin, Belfast, Cardiff and Bournemouth.

I'm a total newbie to blog sites, but do the moderators have to be identified?

@DocRobbie: THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU!!! Took 90 damn long BLOODY minutes to get the YouTube "Memory" clip downloaded over the crappy "hair width" dial-up connection I've got but I did get it all and Susan's performance was absolutely spectacular!
My 60 year old "senior" sister Janet and I marveled at Susans splended performance, she'd seen "Cats" several times theatrically and says Susan's singing was THE BEST she's ever heard; said Susan's pacing with background music was an "issue" but she'd didn't know that it is taped (pretty sure it is...) and marveled over the fact she was able to keep it up reasonably well. Susan she said was "made for Broadway" and indeed we'd agreed that she could do cameos - just ONE such appearance on ANY tune she'd thought within her vocal realm would garner her a Tony far as I'm concerned!
Dramatically speaking, the end of Susan's BGT's semi-finals version of Memory was far more dramatic but today's is more in keeping with the theatrical presentation so am seeing yet another version for the first time by Susan.
BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! Susan!!! You're a MEGA superstar now; greater glory awaits you! THANK you Susan for so elegantly blowing all those kisses of appreciation to the audience - and us here at Susan-Boyle.com. We, your EVER patient fans await news of your next peformances!
Good afternoon from Cameron Park, California; tears flooding out of my eyes right now and the "wormhole" dial-up connection is about to close - and Paul,
PPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get another blog subject up NOW so can get another 500 posts of viewing in without having to re-dial & re-load the browser every 5 seconds; am choaking to DEATH here!!!!

The whole moderator flap was ridiculous and childish, IMO. Aroseblush hadn't even begun the job----and already she was met with opposition and warnings about proper behavior and techniques.

Susan's 'Memory' performance this afternoon was flawless. Easily world class. If there are any critics who still claim 'she can't really sing' after that are surely tone deaf! She's already got IDAD nailed, so she's playing and experimenting with that now. It should be clear now that she should do a show then take a few days off. It's better do a spectacular performance once every few days, rather than a good but sometimes tired one every night.

Go,please go now to your computers, and listen to our darling Susan singing at Wembley!!!I just clicked - Susan Boyle Wembley, and there were sites, that offered the video from her Wembley performance - it is outstanding!!!!She sings Memory now with totally new accents and nuances, and I just loved the glorious ending - so full of light, the best, I think, of all her performances of Mamory.
Why do we love Susan Boyle so much? Because,being a great singer, she has this amazing capacity for self-renewal, that is crucial for every great artist - one will NEVER be tired, listening to a thousand of her performances of one and the same song, always being astonished at this constant renewal and ascent higher and higher in her art!!!
We love her, because, besides being a great singer, she has a wealth of life experience, that each of us can relate to - to different facets of it. To some of us it her courage and determination to follow her dream, to others - her love for her pet Pebbles, to some - it is her love and care for her Mother( that is, what made Susan so dear to me, besides her glorious singing), to others - the fact, that she experienced bullying(hopefully never ever again)...
It is a wonderful idea,@Ruth F - for us, Susan's fans from the USA, to get together, when our Susan comes to the USA - to be able to greet her like royalty!!!
Love and all the best to all of you,
susanwin

I agree with Johnnycake, Ruth F., Bohemian Spirit, Singing Soul, pottedferne, and Ger Amsretdam.
We don't need controlling Big Egos running this fan
club. I for one don't care for the secrecy. A lot of people have been here from the first and we are growing. Unfortunately some do not know about past blogs and what this fan club has done in the past. This used to be a loving Susan Boyle Fan Club. It is no more. We don't need ego trips here. I for one am an adult. Many on here have degrees and backgrounds of importance yet they are treated like children. Enough of this. It only takes one bad apple to ruin the whole unch. What a sad thing for Susan.

Great posts today, lots of exchange.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to connect with the links so faithfully posted earlier this aft.
I just want to add a little something to the "unmentionable subject". The piece was apparently posted by a Canuk, in which case it would involve the RCMP, if any follow-up needed.
Last word on that subject. And last word until after dinner...TTFN. Rah, for OurSusan!!!!

I am a moderator on a long running forum and I know how difficult it can be at times. We posted some basic rules for members to follow...common sense stuff mostly. It works pretty well overall but there are some people who want to cause trouble and that's when it becomes more difficult.
Good luck with the site though.
Here are some photos taken today by someone at Wembley of dear Susan. There are 9 altogether:

ponylady That is exactly how it should work. Moderators at any site I ever visited are not identified. That should never happen. We should not have any idea who they are personally. Especially with this big of a fan base there will always be some who personally doesn't like someone and will create all sorts of issues for them. They are referred to as "Moderator 1 or moderator 2, etc..." or just given a pseudo name to use on site. I think that's the only way it will really work. Those who have applied could still become moderators here. They just need to not tell us all about it from their personal ID.

SO happy to see good press for our girl. Wonder if they're finally getting the message that they're playing on the wrong side? She sure showed 'em what real talent and courage are. Can you imagine singing for that many people? I wouldn't be able to breathe, much less sing. She's just simply incredible.

Just my opinion on moderators - I use loads of other forums for various things, and a always think of a moderator as the 'green pen brigade' or 'jobsworths'! Basically they seem to be people who tell you what you can and can't say. I've had many a slap on the wrist for saying something that might 'offend' someone. As other people have said, we're all adults and can think for ourselves. I have a degree and 20 years working in professional positions, including a number of positions in government departments, so I consider myself intelligent enough to know how to respond to a situation!

@Oggles myself and a couple other people posted info on Barrymore the other day and were attacked for posting negative information - I agree that Susan was never waivered from her singing, brilliant response to this idiot. "One aspect I would like to comment on is the Michael Barrymore video where Susan is singing and the stupid prat is trying to look up her skirt.
You over the other side of the Pond won't have heard of Barrymore but he was very popular in the 80's in Britain until he was caught up in a scandal where a man was murdered at his house when a drunken/drug loaded orgy took place."

If an article I recently read is true, it is likely that Susan WILL sing in Ireland. According to a priest who apparently knows her, Susan makes regular trips there to visit the shrine of an Irish saint, Our Lady of Knock.Perhaps, if she is allowed the freedom, she will visit again if she is in Ireland. If you wish to read the article, type in " Our Lady of Knock Susan Boyle ".
I was thrilled to hear Susan's songs today. She is becoming so much more confident and notes in both her higher and lower registers are much improved. If it is true that she did stop singing after her mother died, she is likely now just getting back in full form. We love you, Susan! Do what you can but don't overdo.

Many of you know what's happened to some of us on this site for posting innocent comments which were met with disagreement; this is exactly why a moderator of Aroseblush's caliber is warranted and sorely needed. We need the positive aspects of this site to shine through for Susan, not the bullying, name calling, and cussing out.

Dear all, I throw in my 2 coppers worth of comments on the moderator issue. From what I have seen of this site in the last 2 months it is generally self moderated - 99% of people who post on here are intelligent and understand internet etiquette. This site is not for example a PC online game forum. Frankly I cannot see any need for a moderator. The site is self managed by its members.This site is a fan site and ideas that we should score posts is absurd. All I would suggest is to break the site up a bit into different topics which requires a manager and not a moderator.

@Jellie - Those are not new pictures. That site has a habit of posting misleading and or premature information. If you go to this page:
Susan Boyle Wembley
they have the same pictures as the link you had (which was missing a leading "htt" in the address). Then if you go to this page, they have the same pictures:
Susan Boyle Newcastle
Those pictures where I believe take of Susan when she was in London with her doctor just after leaving the Priory.

Moderators - I agree they aren't needed. The site seems be self-policing. If somebody reads a post that contains something that is obviously abusive they should have the ability to report it to someone, who can then remove it. We don't need somebody reading every post and then making a decision based on their own opinion whether to remove it or not.

I'm a total newbie to blog sites, but do the moderators have to be identified? If they have to squelch inappropriate, silly or mean posts it would seem logical for them to be appointed by the site owner and be protected from those they might have to "talk to" or "boot". Am I anywhere near understanding how this works? ***
Hope you're not, PONYLADY. I honestly don't mean to sound rude or mean, but IMO your ideas regarding guidelines for moderating various types of posts sounds more like gestap...um.....guidelines for a thought police regime.
I guess because I believe that inappropriateness, sillyness and/or meanness are in the eye of the beholder.
Remember how Susan was first received on BGT by both audience and the judges before her audition performance?
Remember how Piers winced and Simon rolled his eyes at her wiggle dance? And yet...this was just one of Susan's characteristics, part of her charm that endeared her to the rest of the world. Piers and Simon both recognized this later, but they already had egg on their faces in publiCK.
Another example I personally experienced was that someone new here mistakenly accused me of joining someone else in bullying her, when I never made a mean comment to her, I had only made a comment or two to someone else in regard to what they were posting, as they happened to be taking her to task over a perceived superiority complex.
That newbie messaged me a hit and run accusation via this fansite's message feature when she knew I could not respond, because my message feature was out of order.
A moderator who's well-versed in that skill won't be needing to have a lot of "come to Jesus" talks with posters, for they'll be wielding their authority with a light and fair hand. And they won't need protection from anyone for the same reason, even should they be required to boot someone for flagrant disregard for the posting guidelines (hopefully also fair).

Have just seen your comment. Whether or not you pursue a moderator's role on this site, I'd hate for your decision to be based upon my earlier post regarding the role of a moderator. My remarks are a summary of my experience with effective and ineffective forum moderators, not a commentary on your fitness for the role. As I don't know you and have had limited exposure to your posts, I can't presume to know whether you'd be an effective moderator.
I would ask that, if indeed there's an "old guard" engaging in bullying, you not include me by association. I, too, am a relatively new member, and the posts I've written have been supportive of both Susan and fellow members of the site. I've not seen the bullying you mention, but of course, if it's happening, it should stop -

excuse me but my previous post had no intent at bullying anyone and if anyone preceived it as such perhaps counseling is in order. All I attempted to convey is that we have been getting along very well for 2 months with only a few blips up to this point that were handled by mature responsible fans of Susan Boyle.

About there being moderators on this site: I do believe that a modertor or 2 are needed.
Here's why: I really don't want to read messages with foul language or cuss words in them. They're childish & immature & they aren't necessary to prove anyone's point.
However, some negative messages about Susan should be allowed, after all there's no beauty without there being a little ugly too. That's how we all learn, by knowing our faults and weaknesses.
I love to listen to Susan as much as any member of this site, but let's face it people, it isn't all beauty and loviness. Reading the messages sometimes gets just a little "too sweet".
Love this fansite and have been happy with it so far, but I too would like to know who's handling it.

Just in case people haven't noticed yet, there are now 4 videos of Susan singing in Wembley Arena in London in the videos section of this site. That means that a new blog for the Wembley show will be created very soon!

I just read the article by Susan's priest and it made me feel sad for her. I'm glad she is getting out of that town for a while so she can see how wonderful she is as the world falls in love with her. After reading this article I can understand why she felt the need to prove herself.Although he acknowledges her gift to sing,he calls her eccentric and brain damaged and said he disapproves of her plucking her eybrows.

I made a comment on the article :
How disappointed I am at this article. I can't believe you think she is brain damaged and eccentric just because she likes to do the little
wiggle dance. Its just a joke.I think you just don't understand her sense of humor. Well ,she will prove you wrong. I have watched all her interviews and
I think she is smart,funny,talented and endearing. And I love her new look too. What is wrong with plucking your eyebrows. I love this woman and I find your words insulting.
Now I see why she feels the need to prove herself.

Kalua. I will be very surprised if we have to wait until November. I positively predict that we shall see her debut CD in the shops by the end of August at the very latest. Syco will want to capitalise on her fame and fanbase as early as they can and probably prior to the inevitable trip to the USA, so they will want to get Susan into the studio as soon as she is able after the tour ends.
Of course, SHE may decide to take a long break, as is her right, but I suspect that 'oor girl' will know how popular that first CD is likely to be and will 'not want to disappoint her fans', especially as she knows how many must have missed seeing her in the shows. I may be wrong but that is how I see it and if it comes to pass, well the whole world will witness a new phenomenen in CD sales that would be the envy of even John and Paul themselves!

aroseblush: You came off as a professional in your posts. Based on the sniping, I can fully understand why you are no longer interested. I'm going to keep following along here for a few more days but if this is the kind of crap that this forum is about. I'll be bailing out myself. This forum has no future with the negativity that I have seen on this page alone.

greygrannie, I think I read that they were Irish, yes.
I wish they could see their baby girl now - wouldn't they be proud! Well, perhaps they can.
I said prayers for her all morning in church, and looks like they were answered. She looks rested from what I could tell, and I believe she was smiling. And throwing kisses - I counted 5 in all. What a wondrous girl she is.

@stevieboy49 - Hope you are right, if the recording is made in July and then all the mixing and remixing plus production my estimate will be 2 months. We shall see if we have it by mid September
It's going to be the cherry on the cake if ever it gets before

Hi everyone, I hope you all have had a good day.
This was her best Memory performance to date and IDAD was excellent also.
At least tomorrow is a rest day, she can get another good night's sleep then Tuesday she will be ready for Aberdeen. Soon this tour will be over and she will have a little bit of a rest before she can start her CD.

Hi good humans:
Curiosity got me, so I scrolled up to find the Moron, I mean, Morgan human add picture. Totally stomach churning. Caused me to leave my dinner on the rug with the latest furball. Nevertheless, Patriciasart, it was worth it, thanks. The only buns that should be roasted are his. To think that a classy lady like Ms. Boyle could have ever been linked emotionally to that slimeball. Don't know why he needed a loincloth for the shoot, suspect there's nothing significant to hide. Licks and Lovebites from San Antonio, TX. Nite all. 9:49 PM

I am new to this blog thing, I must have posted my comments to the wrong page. Will post them here: I think we have had an effect. I just reviewed a couple google pages of current articles and they are all factual and reasonable in tone. In Entertainment,Mirror, Press Assn (2), gawker, the Sun, Daily Express UK, Scotsman (did headline 'troubled Boyle', but ok), the NY Times did say she has become a regular hospital patient and was not so factual but was not malignant, digital spy, daily star. Thank you media, for sticking to facts and reasonable attitude.

About the priest issue: please be careful, because Susan's priests have been wonderful, very supportive and obviously fond of her, while realistically realizing there are potential problems. Her priest told her to go for it and enjoy it, and if it lasts it lasts and if it doesn't it doesn't, but she would still have attained more than most people. Sorry I haven't had a chance to read all the posts, just wanted to make sure we realize that if we don't make sure of facts before taking action, we'll be doing the same thing as the gossip media. The priest who made the zany comments quoted Susan's priest, but apparently does not know either of them.

Joly: Her priest is concerned because she "plucked her eyebrows". The priest is making comments as HER priest in a worldwide forum. Do you not believe in any level of confidentiality? I have real problems with this. What part of these two basic issues do you find acceptable? There are other issues with what he said. This attitude is NOT warm, wonderful and supportive. It does not express fondness. I find this abusive.

There is nothing wrong in plucking her eyebrows. Susan did not commit adultery by plucking her eyebrows. And break one of the ten commandments. I dont believe the priest is such a busy body who uttered such words. Again it is the British tabloids, media who fabricated lies to character assasinate Susan. They really go after Susan's throat inorder to kill her singing career. And to cause stress to her. Then they are happy. They had already killed Lady Di. And now they are going after Susan. They are real blood sucker. But Susan will be protected by millions of fans around the world especially American fans. If anything goes wrong to her, the fans will go after the tabloids, media. They/we will hold them responsible. Yes, Fans rise up if Susan is being bullied now and then. Enough is enough, that poor lady had already suffered for 48 years. Now she was given a chance and her dream had come true that she dreamt to be a professional singer to fulfil her late mother's wish. Give her a chance please. And leave her in peace. Now she deserved and proved that she had amazing talent with an angelic voice. God bless you Susan. May angel Gabriel protect you always. God Loves You. We fans love you too.

squeaky: Thank you for info. That link to the Priest's statements will later on be picked by the tabloids and the news recycled. What am concern is, poor Susan, there's no end to writing stories about her. Why cant they leave her alone in peace. My view, the priest should not have comment on Susan after all he should concentrate in his priestly missionary work. He shouldnt have touch on Susan's life which should be kept confidential. What's wrong with Susan plucking her eyebrows. And he's worried. There are many other parishanors in the parish church plucking their eyebrows too. Why talk about Susan only. It's very unfair. Susan is a nice lady and is a devoted Catholic. Doing voluntary work for the church for many years. She spent most of her life there. I gonna stop here lest I am a gossiper myself. And bless me father for I have sinned!lol

I have just finished reading most if not all of the posts regarding moderators. Some posts are snippy and unkind. I feel badly for aroseblush and any other member who was or felt they were being bullied or pushed around.
Excuse me people, but I thought this fansite was dedicated to upholding and showing Susan Boyle what a wonderful person she is and what her singing has done for each one us. It is NOT the place to battle it out about who is or who is not or even if there's going to be moderators. For crying out loud! Get a grip. There shouldn't be ANY posts that aren't about our wonderful Susan Boyle. If you have a complaint you can send it to Support or to the Contact Us buttons.
Also, I don't appreciate seeing pictures of mostly naked men posted here! Email each other if you must but leave them OFF this fansite. This site is for Susan Boyle and not for anything else.
