FAN ON TWITTER SAYS SUSAN ROCKED THE HOUSE IN GLASGOW!!!!!

Great news of Susan. She rocked Glasgow!

I posted this at the same time as someone else in the old blog:

Susan rocked! BBC news!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/glasgow_and_west/8100079.stm

4th, and awaiting allllll the NEWS and Teesiel's comments --since she was lucky enough to BE THERE in the audience.....

To repeat it here:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/glasgow_and_west/8100079.stm

Susan Boyle received a standing ovation when she sang at the Britain's Got Talent tour in Glasgow, a day after cancelling two concerts.

Her publicist said the singer received a "rapturous" reception from the audience at the city's SECC venue.

...

Publicist Nicola Phillips said the crowd in Glasgow broke into applause halfway through her performance of Memory, from the musical Cats.

She also sang I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables, the song that propelled her to international fame.

yes...can't wait!!! GOOOOOOOOO SUSAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all!!!

@protectsusan: Congratulations dear! :-)

What great news! I'm running late for my meeting but have been hanging on. thanks for the posts.

LOL Mis Tia! Great minds think alike! I posted this at the same time as you!

Another one:

Singer Boyle wows crowdsSusan Boyle was met with rapturous applause as she took to the stage in front of home fans in Glasgow.

There had been doubts as to whether the now world-famous singer from West Lothian would perform in the Britain's Got Talent live show.

But the plucky church worker wowed the crowds as she belted out her famous version of I Dreamed a Dream.

And more, it's coming in fast now:

"Not only did she receive a standing ovation at the end of the performance, the packed concert hall took to their feet as she walked on to stage in a floor-length sparkling dress and twice during her performance, which included Memory from the musical Cats.

Many fans were waving home-made banners, some said "We love you Susan" and "Susan is the best".

One fan, Bryan Felvus, 23, from Motherwell in Lanarkshire, said: "She was brilliant. She had to be here tonight. She was great and deserved every bit of support she got and she got the loudest cheer of the evening."

Another, Audrey Hinde, 39, from Ayrshire said: "I thought she was fantastic. She brought tears to my eyes. She didn't seem under pressure at all.""

Thanks,281165............can't wait for pictures , video of Susan. I hope Simon has a limo for her rather than the bus.

@Penny08 - lol, the more the merrier dear and such great news too! *huggles*

Susan Boyle was met with rapturous applause as she took to the stage in front of home fans on Monday.

There had been doubts as to whether the now world-famous singer from West Lothian would perform in the Britain's Got Talent live show in Glasgow after pulling out of the event in Manchester.

But the plucky church worker wowed the crowds as she belted out I Dreamed a Dream, the song which made her a global superstar.

Oh great webmaster, Paul..you rock too!

I think in a couple of hours the first videos will be uploaded to Youtuby Baby

Awsome! WE Want Video... All her performances have thunderous ovations. She's a hair raising performer.

Lets hope that Scottish TV also had some CAMERAS there to document the Scottish SUPERSTAR!!!! We'll just have to wait and seee, Oh its the waiting that's so hard!!!!

Still no video...I have read the reviews...please someone, upload a video of Susan's performance in Glasgow

Or a detailed account from Teesial, our trusty reporter on the scene!!!

AWESOME AWESOME....SHE WOWED THE CROWD AGAIN!!!

WoooooooooooHoooooooooooooo Now for the vid!!!!

Great to hear that she did well! Watched the video on the above site by Piers, good for him! I can't imagine anyone who is not used to touring managing to perform every single night and twice on each weekend day being able to do that. Never mind all the travel and nonsense going on around them. I suspect several people will get wrung out. Personally I think they scheduled too many too close together. I think Susan will be happier doing her CD's and maybe an appearance here and there that she will be comfortable with.

Thanks all for the latest articles on Susan's performance in Glasgow! Bravo to Susan!

Is Susan to be known as the former church worker and/or church volunteer for the rest of her life? That's like referring to indominable Hyacinth Bucket as the renowned local church volunteer.

Blackburn should consider a small airport for one private jet. That is what she deserves! :-)

thanks for posting all the comments, VERY GOOD NEWS CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE THE VIDEO!!

PS great new photos up there!!!

Rapturous crowds and banners!!! Oh hell, I'm crying again. She is SO fantastic, marvelous, uplifting, beautiful, charismatic . . . . . I ran out of adjectives. There are no words to describe Susan.

Howdy Pards,

What thrilling news! Our own on the spot reporter must have had a spectacular time...and we can't wait for her report! Oh...when this video comes pards it's gonna be wonderful! Our Susan has Rocked that Audience once again!

Adios for now. Talk to ya on down the trail.

Wild Ol' Dan

I knew she would rock Glasgow, can't wait for Edinburgh tomorrow night, as that is near her home town!!!!

Love the new banner, looks good.

@281165--not only a small airport in Blackburn, but at Susan's new house she will hopefully buy...a helio port!

I had to go and have a glass of cold water after that; am so pleased, heck beyond pleased for her!! It was a big thing I think and to go so brilliantly for her... ahh, am going to crash YT myself with the refreshing I think but still not videos.

has there been a "Simon Sighting" there??

stunning new banner love it, great job!!

I see her compound in Florida, next to Celine.

@ TommyUSA Many thanks for the quick click to get us to the Piers Morgan interview. I thought he was excellent the way he spoke from 'his' side of the story.. Thanks again Tommy :)

Well I am so thrilled at the reviews. No negatives here. As a matter of fact I told this web site to take a negative video from fox off this site. I rated it 1* and the next time I came on it was gone. So there is no negatives here. You guys would have been offended too. I am haveing frozen bluebarries is sprite as a toaste to susans success.

@Aroseblush, I have tried. YouTube is not showing anything for Susan and Gasgow so far.

Apparently, the Scots not only produce excellent talent but also have great taste and excellent manners vis a vis, standing ovation for their hometown girl. Hooray!

Here is the Glascow video!!!!

http://music.rightcelebrity.com/?p=2550

I like the updated header. Thanks to heart.shaped.glasses for the new design!

i've just "Googled" Susan Boyle bgt tour glasgow and got into a site which is stating that it is showing the video of Glasgow, but it seems to me to be one of the previous tours as she stumbled over the words at the beginning and I bet she didn't do that in Glasgow. She would feel much more at home tonight, and probably will feel even more at home tomorrow night as Edinburgh is closer to her home.

love the new photos of Susan on the Banner! Many Thanks to Paul.

Thank God for the new blog! Trawling through yesterday's was becoming a major pain! Noticed the new header first thing, and it's great - thank you so much heart.shaped.glasses. Great job! Last night's concert in front of the home crowd sounds AWESOME!!!

Dog's hungry, I'm hungry, house is dirty, flowers need watering. And here I am waiting for videos of our girl.

That's the Sheffield video, the same one as before, the first site to post that made a mess obviously.

I think that video is of the matinee in Sheffield....

@mdillow31 ....I have tried You Tube, Google, Standing on my Hands, rolling somersaults....Nothing, nada video

Apparently she stumbled on the words of Memory today also

Pardonmeboy, that's the Sheffield video - I checked that out earlier.

LOL Ariel AZ on Hyacinth Bucket....didn't think you'd heard od her accross the pond ...he he he!!!!!!

It did her good to have that little rest with pebbles time. See now she knows she needs to rest between shows and I am proud of Simon and her manager for helping her learn how to handle touring. This is preparations for coming to the USA.

Okidoki Joan M - for Susan: We do it both and more. A helicopter place to land and leaving near her house, a few neighbours should move but will be compensated. Then with the helicopter to Blackburn Private Airport. On all international airports we have a private limo, just in case! ;-)

I love the new banner too. Kudos !!

Oops. sorry guys! I just got soooo excited...

Great banner!

Back to web hunting lol...

@penny08

i think that is old video, as same voice saying "she is wearing that dress again"

Wow: This new blog page came up super fast. I just popped to the clip to watch Piers's interview and when I came back...my whole Susan world has a whole new page. Gotta go, Ken wants the computer for a while...cheeky man...how dare he....:)

hellooooo TOMMY are you there? and on you tube waiting again???????? smile

I love how we all love Susan here and cheer every performance, even if it is a video! Susan is the greatest and I will always be a fan!!!!

I'm not very observant and just noticed new banner. It's gorgeous. Like Susan.

@281165

I vote you in charge of Susan's International and home town transportation. You have great plans!

I'm off for about an hour or so..tasks to do, see ya all later. Maybe by then a true Glasgow video will be here, and more news too.

@Mrlscan: Care to join me at my candlelight supper? The vicar will be there! :-)

Yes, one of my favorite shows! They show it here in NYC on PBS.

@mina.....Hi, mina..yes, keep refreshing about every 10 seconds..lol ....still nothing yet...

Let's face it, the words of Memory are ridiculously intricate. There were some songs like that that Elvis always had to sing with a crib sheet in his hand. Or else he winged it and made up words when he stumbled. You may hum a Webber tune, but who can remember the lyrics?

Sitting here eating hummus and chips.... waiting... for the video of Susan from Glasgow!!! By the way, love the new picture of Susan to the banner. This waiting is really hard on the nerves!

hi ammo where is a pierce interview?? not over here right, just took a look

YaaaaaY! Wonderful news about Glasgow! It is so awesome to get updates here first! Well, back to work~

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the new header--love the pic's!!!

Love the new updated banner!

Been too busy reading all thee posts to make one of my own,-------but I'm biting my nails and waiting impatiently, like everyone else in here, for some real news from Glasgow---------AND a video!! SOOO glad she was able to make that Glasgow performance and no surprise at all that she ROCKED that audience!!

was away, working.. just checked in. any news from Tessie yet?

OMG Keeping up appearances, I just love that show, alongside of Absolutely Fabulous and the Vicar of Dibley, not to mention Coronation Street and East Enders lol

@TommyUSA - so am I lol, we'll crash YT again ;)

And where did you guys read she forgot her words again? I didn't see it in any of the reports?

Just noticed the updated photo on the banner. Way to go! It looks great. Thanks heartshapedglasses for such a beautiful banner for the fasite.

Tommy eloped with Susan after the show. They will be honeymooning in Edinburgh.

Isn't Susan becoming so beautiful! You go, girl!! Show them all what class and style are all about!

You would think that the tabloid reporters would have their skill off to a fine art.It amazes me how their reporting is so blatantly amateurish...reeping up the same old worn out descriptions of Susan ...ie. churchworker.......Jeez do they ever go out and about and do any research....and whats more they can even be bothered to update their photos anymore......sign of the times i spose or maybe theyr'e short of staff.

@Lonnirose....nope, she said she would come to Louisiana with me........lol

Yeah, who said she forgot her words again?? That was not in the reviews!!

Susan's hair has been fab lately....maybe a wig??? Don't stone me............

Jane.

Ariel AZ, I love the reference to Hyacinth Bucket, pardon, Bouquet... She's one of my favourite British comedy characters!

Methinks Susan needs a toyboy!

Congrats on the much improved, updated banner!! We just couldn't have a banner w/o some of those beautiful new pics of Lady Susan!! Lovely!!

Great to hear Susan wowed the crowd again, especially at home. We love you Susan!

I blasted some of the newspapers for bringing up the Priory stay - told 'em it was old news and they need to move on and let Susan have her rightful place as the world's superstar.

Old videos from Sheffield aroseblush!

Still trying to get the Glasgow video on YouTube but nothing is showing up yet !! TommyUSA will probably get it before me. LOL ! Your a good guy Tommy !!

@ Mis Tia She didn't forget the words tonight. They are posting the matinee performance in Sheffield on some sites under the headline Glasgow Performance. In his introduction the MC says here to perform "this afternoon." Then the same voice says "She's wearing the same dress again." We still don't have the real video from today. Are they trying to fool us and appear to have the first video or do they really think they have the latest one?

Yes Mrlscan...I thought the same thing...Maybe they could come over here and learn a few SUSA Q Words!! like SUSARIFIC!!!

Tommy is still hunting....Hunting Vid's or did you run off with Susan like someone suggested??? hmmmmmmm

MRIscan: Hyacinth has been on weekly for almost 15 years on the public service TV station (a poor man's BBC) and was on BBC-America every day until about a year ago. Some of the cast members come over during pledge weeks when the public stations raise funds, like Oslow. Her fans just watch the episodes over and over and over again, just like the Honeymooners. Of course, we all know that Hyacinth is reknowned for her Dalton china with the hand-painted periwinkles at her candlelight suppers.

Maybe with Simon in the audience (?), there was more viligance about people making recordings? The ones from Birmingham showed up alot faster...just wondering....

@mdillow31....as long as someone, anyone gets it, I will be happy...:)

As I fed a couple of colonies of cats today in the woods, a heavy thunderstorm with pouring rain came. I had Susan singing Memory in my mind which calmed me. :) NJ

He He Piggie...laughing my A off here !!!

and thanks for the compliment, mdillow31 ...:)

Y'all do know that that "cheesecake" pic of Piers is a fake, don't you?? Piers' head tacked onto a model's body. His girlfriend only dreams he looks that good!!! ________HA!!!

@bjNewMexicoUSA - ah, so that's the confusion! I know that the old video is circulating as today's. It was a mix up from earlier today, someone made a mistake and well, it spread. Just a mistake I think, and they probably haven't seen all the videos like we did lol and can't tell the difference.

I been singing memories in my head for three days now.....I'm gettin worried......Tried 'Whistle down the Wind'....but memories just keeps comin back....Allelujah !!

Ssuan Rules.....does she not? lol

wouldn't it be great if teesiel got to meet her!!!She would definately be able to tell her about our site and how much we love her here and are waiting for her to come her and can't wait for the cd to come out!

Piggie: Oh, that dishy vicar! Count me in, too.

I cannot believe someone in that arena in Glasgow didn't video Susan Boyle's performance. Maybe we just have to be patient and wait a few hours.

Godscre...Good to see you!! Glad your here!! Its always wild and fun here...don't know about calming!!! lol

WAMcKinley....????? REALLY????? lol

I'm just happy knowing everything went well tonight and that our girl is now probably resting well. Oh, someone said she got more cheers than anyone. Well, of course she did!!

@YourAwesome.....lol....just searching for vids for right now... :)

video

As soon as we (hopefully) get good video of the Glasgow performance, I will create a DVD image file for you all as with the other shows. Also a quick reminder if you missed it earlier:

As mentioned earlier, I now have an edited and slightly processed mp3 version of the Sheffield performance. I have edited out the gap between the two songs (to get rid of the 'whoop whoop' noise!), and reduced the bass to make the audio clearer. As as result of that, the overall volume is reduced (which elimates some of the blurring) and the equalization is relatively flat. You can, therefore, add your own bass, etc. to your own taste. Some versions of Windows Media Player seem to stutter a little during playback - if that happens use WinAmp, RealPlayer, etc. or any of the others which are fine. The quality still isn't anywhere near CD quality, but I've made a CD from this new mp3 and it sounds great. You can download the new mp3 (ZIPped) directly from:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/ag66914/n/Susan_Boyle-Sheffield_zip

(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).

Don't forget also the 3 BGT performances are also available as high quality (CD quality) mp3 files:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/ag60e2c/n/SusanBoyle-All3Songs_zip

(Note: to Unzip the files using XP/Vista, just right-click on the .zip file, then select 'Extract All' and follow the prompts)

love the banner - thanks for inserting my fav pic of her, plus the one in the middle. still wish a small scottis flag was in there...ooo, can anyone drape a scottish around Susan like a toga and post that. silly, I know. bye for now

When talent tours, they don't expect every performance to be videoed and upload to Youtube. Enter Susan. She probably had made or bought several of the same gowns...keep in mind, she performs in different venues every day. Who would think the world is peeking in on these live performances and noticing she wears the same gown. Does anyone notice or care what the other performers wear? Think not. Anyone notice what Hollie wears? Does anyone SEE what the other performers do??

She is not touring, which would require various changes of wardrobe from time to time. Or not, I don't know.

Susan is under a microscope, which is why she will need time to rest, and often.

Glory be to our beloved Susan.

Jane.

Can't wait to see the vid of Glasgow!

She looks spectacular! Whatever she is wearing.

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090615/ten-boyle-cheered-by-home-country-fans-5f8abb3.html

@Godscre: We're getting that thunderstorm in Philly now. NOT lol! Fran

@Kalua - nope, Sheffield one, that's the site that started the mix up :D

No it's not today's sorry

I think much of the crowd has now reached home and trying to upload.

and, maybe i'll learn to spell and insert words correctly - sometime. That's scottis"h" flag and drape a....scot... "flag" around her. geeez

An Idea.....lets all post on which tiny little bits of susan's videos...maybe overlooked by some.....but those little split second moments that touched you most. From the very beginning...the audition clip when Susan's eating her sandwiches did it for me...my heart melted. Still wonder if they were haggis sandwiches LOL !!!

I can't sing Memory. I have been humming it constantly for 2 weeks. But the words keep escaping me.

hi TOMMY lol, i knew we can count on you!!!!!!

look at all the comments here in not even a hour!! guess we all are very exited!!

Susan should stop being referred to as a spinster or a church worker, though I would be proud of the latter, Susan is now an international singing sensation and sex symbol! Take that, tabloids!

don't think i can stay up much longer! gotta get my beauty sleep

nothing about Susan on the news - a little boy flushed his dog down the toilet , fire brigade and RSPCA couldn't get him out, but finally a plumber rescued the little guy

After checking all the latest posts I now have a page full of links to follow up on! You might not see any more posts from me for the remainder of the day!

Fabulous new banner - thanks.

this memory is in my head too and pops up few times a day!!

@mina...yeah, aren't we pathetic!!! LOL!!!!:)

Love, love, love the new header. That center picture on the old one was unflattering to our genuinely pretty Susan. This is fab. And we get the new haircut.

@Mrlscan..that did it for me too..

The header is stunning!

Where is Teesiel? Do you really think she could have been allowed to actually talk to Susan? Can't wait till she sends us her report...

FOX NEWS IS THE ONLY USA NEWS PROGRAM THAT TELLS THE TRUTH!

@Mrlscan: "collection of villages, that's what I think it is" touching her face. Then "Great Song" by Piersy Baby and then the awe in the entire audience. Unforgettable.

songbird: i would agree, but do they cover Susan????

Howdy Heart Shaped Glasses,

My gosh, what a wonderful job you have done on our new banner! Thank you for making it worthy of our Superstar!

Adios for now. Talk to ya on down the trail.

Wild Ol' Dan

I have just remember a musical I saw in the West End with Elaine Paige... It was Chess... there is a duet in that show, Elaine did it with Barbara Dickson, I think in my limited experience Susan and Elaine sure could do this as a duet...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2IkLGFiKx0

Paul the header is superb many thanks

@fumingjane...yes Jane...they had a really nice segment about Susan on earlier today...will probably be shown again...all positive too!!:)

@many#s...the village thing is also awesome as well as the "happydance" at the end of the audition

@Mrlscan: The sandwich is the one that breaks my heart. The one that ALWAYS makes me laugh out loud, even though I know exactly what is coming, is her strut off stage when she is done singing. It's just such a brilliant moment, like she's thinking "I rocked that audience just like I knew I would. Don't need your evaluations. Ta-ta!"

fumingjane, I read somewhere that all the performers wear their "costumes' each time, and that they are laundered after every wearing. 'Course we don't know that anything we read is true, alas.

Wonder if Susan's had time to read any of her cards and watch Tommy's videos. Probably not, but maybe when the tour is over.

@Mrlscan: And I wonder how this girl in the audience with her frowning and "yeah right" attitude is right now! ;-)

Is she here on this site? :-)

Going to get some work done, come back tonight for the video. Sure it will be here. I like to hear Susan the best at night anyway. She just has to do a torch song album one day.

Reinder, I wondered the same thing. Bet that girl feels pretty silly right about now.

DJG-Scotland

SusanBoyle-All3songs

THX very much for mp3's- they're on my iPodTouch with a Susanpicture as screensaver.

Paulie.....i think that duet was 'I know him so well '. Barbara Dixon is a fab singer...I was a big fan

@Reinder: You wrote: "collection of villages, that's what I think it is" touching her face. Then "Great Song" by Piersy Baby and then the awe in the entire audience. Unforgettable.

I think she actually says, "Collection of...collection of...villages...had to think there!"

Bless that girl's heart that rolled her eyes at Susan's audition....a lot of others did it...she just happen to be in the camera at the time...I know she is so sorry now...probably a big SUSAFAN by now..:)

Oh yippie K-eye yae! Susan made the house ROCK! whoo hooo - great news! Their home town girl made good! (oh yes Absolutely Fabulous and Hyacinth Corrie - all good British Isles stuff we see in Canada too - but back to Susan = will skip home thinking happy Susan thots andyes Memories (or mam-ories the way she says it in her cute Scot accent - rings around in my brain a lot too. And as for our on the scene reported - she prob got carried away in a cheering mob to a local pub and is standing on a table singing songs.... a good time was had by all

Yes, Lonni, that makes sense; they must have numerous "copies" of their costumes.

and then there is the "Bar huntin' with a switch stride" as she walked onto the stage and again after they called her back as she was trying to walk off.

Her smile and Susanod!! When she KNOWS she has that audience in the palm of her hand!!

Of course the Susawiggle....and Happy Dance!!

So happy that Susan did well tonight. Is it possible that she is near enough to her home to go there for the night? Hope so. We love you, Susan!!

I wondered if Teesiel happened to get interviewed since she flew over to see the concert?

@TommyUSA: Apparently there was a lot of bad stuff written about her on the internet. Didn't see any of it myself, but heard there was, and that she was only 15. Also read that Susan said, "Leave the girl alone!"

Here's an idea where we might be able to get some good footage at the live performances, plus more videos. Have a contest to see who can get the nicest performance recorded. That might get us a lot more videos to watch.

C.mon 281165...she's just a young girl....who happened to be on cam....Susan publicly said ' leave her alone'

Tommy, 1:24 is an internationally known young lady.

On Youtube, she has been forgiven, so to speak.

Yes, that what I meant too....they should just leave her alone....:)

Best moment for me in the past was her assuring the audition guys after she sang that she indeed was most comfortable singing to the audience and "..I'm among friends, am I not?" Showed her true grit and a bit of cheeky sarcasm to boot. Nothing wrong with her mental capacity.

I loved the little self confident ' smirk' seconds before she began to sing

Hey songbirdwatcher, I had this site remove a video they put out about susan today. I told them to get that video the (_____) off this site. I didn't want to heart their ugly comments about susan. It was so negative. Nothing positive as usual, geraldo has been very ugly regarding susan. And yes my friend that is Fox. All they have done is focus on her looks or her breakdown, NEVER I TELL YOU- never about her TALENTS! As You can see I get pissed off when people are negative regarding susan!

Mrlscan, that's fun! I particularly like that cute face Susan has on her audition night when she signals for the music to start. She looks like a little girl, then. I also like that part with the sandwiches, it is so like her, all quiet and withdrawn in her own little world... well of course that was just a few minutes before she became an international star!!

Tessiel: Get your hubby on here....we need a fix, NOW!

Me too ponylady !!

NEW HEADER LOOKS GREAT! MUCH MORE BECOMING! GOOD JOB!

Do you think Teesiel is having after the show tea with Susan?

@dmstennessee Tea I don't know but diner surely :-)

I have several favorite Susamoments: 1. When she first began to sing at the audition and the judges were blown away. 2. Her first interview on Scottish TV 3. Her interview with Larry King when Piers asked her to dinner. 4. The Sheffield performance where she lost her lyric for a second, put her hand up to her head, then recovered and gave the audience that thumbs-up. I could go on and on. She has so much personality along with her talent - wow.

On and off again.........working late........watching your posts, dear SusaFriends.........I'll keep checking back......I'm addicted! Love the new pics in the header -- LOVE SUSAN!

@Mrlscan, yes that is the one, I think with our Susan's powerful voice it would be fantastic

"NEVER BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE BEFORE...HERE'S HOPIN' IT'LL CHANGE" .......... LITTLE DID THEY KNOW!!!!:)

Another special for me was when Ant tells her that it's the biggest yes that Piersy has ever given in three years.....the innocent gobsmacked look on her face was just a picture

@lonnierose "fumingjane, I read somewhere that all the performers wear their "costumes' each time, and that they are laundered after every wearing. 'Course we don't know that anything we read is true, alas."

Of course you know it's true, cos I said it! I posted that comment the other day when people were asking why Susan wore the same dress. I used to work for a band that toured regularly and all the stage clothes get gathered up and laundered after each performance. Part of what a tour like BGT is attempting to do is give the same experience to each crowd hence the same clothing worn by the performers each night.

LOL -- Tommy -- it changed in only 20 seconds!!!!!

@heart.shaped.glasses

Great new banner, THX!

You know piggie every time I watch the audition video, I think susan is going to blow them away and they don't even know it yet. You know also I have watched when simon asks her if she is a little tiger, I watch her expression and know that she is really saying yes how did you guess. It's so cute to see her nailing their butts to the wall as they say when she starts to sing. That is simply priceless.

My favourite comment from Susan is during her interview with the local newspaper (West Lothian Courier). She is asked how Pebbles is reacting to all that's happening and she replies along the lines of "oh, in the usual cat sort of way". I can hear her thinking - "what a daft question!"

aliz, I sent Geraldo a nasty letter about his attitude toward our girl. I used to think he was OK, but I wouldn't watch him now if he paid me. He's a horse's you-know-what!!!

Agree Lonni !

The moment I prefer is when just before singing she has that funny smile meaning nowww youuu will seeeeeee!

@Mrlscan: I know, that is why I put two smileys in my post.

I love the bit when asked what her ambition is by Simon and she says to be a professional singer and he asks why isn't she already and she says "I haven't been given the chance - but here's hoping all that will change." And she has that arm movement!!! HA! and the rest, as they say, is HISTORY ... already!!!

Reading these comments is such a joy. I'm almost 70 and acting like a teenager being a fresh fan. I have never done anything like what I do for Susan--checking all the sites several times a day, hopping over the pond and catching all those dreadful tabloids, waiting, waiting for her next move! This is all amazing to me! Susan is a gift from God! She'll morph right in front of our eyes into the most beautiful, regal Queen of Soul. As for that moment when I felt "touched by Susan", it was that moment after her first audition when she was backstage with Dec and Ant and they were telling her that Piers had never given higher praise in all of the three years of the show and she looked "gobsmacked", then bent her head and began to look stricken. We must remember that she dedicated herself to this contest because her beloved mother had once said to her, "You ought to go on that show." She sang not only a song, but a consecration to her mother. She is still in mourning, we must remember that. She knows how to pace herself. God Bless this Beautiful Soul! And yes, she'll have her "boytoy" in due time, no doubt. She has become the Icon of the Soul! Incredible!!

Jane, I wondered about a wig as well... Nothing to stone you about! Nothing wrong with wearing a wig!

And then there's the last clip of her grasping her mouth in disbelief..and true deep apprecative emotion!! Awe struck!! GOBSMACKED!!! Awww...Hugs SUSAN!! Dreams do come true!!!

@Mlrscan

>>when Ant tells her that it's the biggest yes that Piersy has ever given in three years.....the innocent gobsmacked look on her face was just a picture<<

I agree,yeah, loved it also when she put her hand in front of her mouth and giggled.Love that moment.

Thank you heartshapedglasses for the BEAUTIFUL banner with the BEAUTIFUL pictures of SUSAN!!

Ha ha ha Zaney...me too! Susan was thinkin....'My God ,,,,who is this reporter twit? LOL

Oh, this isn't a Susamoment, but the way Simon's eyebrows shot up reminded me of a marrionette or Groucho Marx!!

@YourAwsome <LOL> yeah one of my favo moments, too '-)))

fumingjane - that is what I have been saying all along! Great minds think alike! I also believe there are several of the same dress and she keeps wearing the same style because she likes it so much. It probably makes her feel comfortable and attractive, and I agree with her. The dress suits her, she looks gorgeous.

I am so happy for Susan doing Glasgow! Well done! (APPLAUSE to Susan). I was really nervous, because she received criticism for not doing yesterdays and now Scotland has received her well. She has thrilled them and I am a happy for her and relieved it went smoothly. Can't wait for the video! And she simply must record these two songs.

Lucky Teesiel being able to go.

Let's face it fans...WE LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF HER PERFECT AUDTION PERFORMANCE!!!....EVERY SINGLE MINUTE!!!! It brings tears to my eyes once more!!!

Oh yeah: "And that's just one side of me" and then here hips swinging, Piersy Baby frowning. Thank you Piggy for going back to the audition video again soon for about two dozen times, all the goosebumps, a few tears running down, another lump in my throat by checking what she really said! ;-)

A heartbreaker for me was at the very end of the clip when her face crumples and she's crying and said ' very emotional but fantastic...'No one there either to give her a big hug and congratulate her...Booo Hooo

This is fabulous! The banner is great, the news is great, all of you are great!

Did anyone notice in one of the articles that they referred to her "publicist" - if so, it's about time!

Go Susan Go!

A quick request for feedback: could anyone who has downloaded and produced their DVD of Susan's 4 early performances today just let me know whether 1) you are able to download the file OK (never tried such a big file before!) and 2) that the DVD played OK (I had a lot of techie problems with the clips and had to use a load of different transcoders).

Thanks!

here = her, sorry

Fox is the only news station that broadcasts the truth??>??? HA!! THAT'S a good one!!! Fox broadcasts things with their own peculiar right-wing slant. They couldn't care less about truth,----Geraldo included!!

Oooh, some news from a poster over on YT, not a video but interesting:

"Hi everyone I am just back from seeing Susan in Glasgow. What a night! First of all we didn't know till we got there whether she would appearing. Champagne and smoked salmon (lox) sandwiches were consumed when we arrived. We were celebrating! Now, the first thing I have to say is that the camera is not kind to Susan. She looks younger, slimmer and prettier than the pix we are used to seeing. Secondly, (and I will need to continue this post) because running out of space....

secondly - if the roof had not been firmly fixed - it would have flown off . The cheers, standing ovations, love from the audience just raised the roof. IT WAS FABULOUS. We cheered, whooped, cried and just adored her. I am sorry I do not have a vid - but she sang the same two songs. It is noticeable that she does not speak - you know - say anything to the audience. But the love that came towards her must have encouraged her. I can't believe I have seen her in person (row 3 ). "

This is so brilliant, great account from someone who was there!

Bye All, it's 00:30 AM AMS time/22:30 PM UTC, have to go.

Have a nice Susaevening with new great vids. I'll see them tomorrow (I hope), can't wait.

Ger Amsterdam/The Netherlands

I positively adore the "I am among friends, am I not?", too. She looks so cute and sharp, then. And also her genial respond to Amanda's remark about her looking like Eva Peron! She seems to know how to laugh at herself...

I reckon Susan should have kept the eyebrows too...some women would die to have those lol

Thanks aliz...........

@Piggie, If you listen real close, I believe she's saying, "had to think dear". Favorite moment for me - coming off stage, her overwhelming joy - "bloody fantastic!"

I've been on pins and needles all day waiting to hear that did good........she did "FANTASTIC" as SB would say.

I love the banner update. Beautiful work.

@donnola - I think she says 'had to think there'.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE NEWS MisTia!! You are so blessed!!

@geramsterdam - night, sleep well. The vids will wait for you tomorrow :D

I love this site ! Couldn't wait to get home from work to check out the latest !

Header Looks Awesome- the new haircut is there- If susan keeps getting more "Glam" every day, we will have to have a header change once a week or so.....Maybe no one was allowed to record the show tonight? I am on the SUBO diet myself-- I have lost five pounds in two weeks...mostly cause I am on the internet and not at the market buying food. Blackburn girl spoke to Susan today and got some autographs for some of our members to send to them- she also apparently mentioned about Yorkie and what happened with that and what we did to help...I knew Susan would love that. And, per Blackburn GIrl, she loved it....Cannot wait for a video....or TEESIEL- where are you? Most likely out to a late dinner after....

There was a clip from Glasgow on YouTube but the user has removed it again. Agghh!

Mrlscan,---I can't remember where I read it,----but someone reported that after that audition performance,---she just went home and went to bed. There was no party,---no recognition, no congratulations from anybody,----nothing. Hard to believe!! Where was her family?? If your sister did something like that,---would you just let her go home alone and go to bed??!! Unbelievable!!

hello lonnierose, Glad you sent him that letter. You should have seen the video, it was after Bir and next day's vidoes. I saw it and rated it 1* and told them it was offensive and to get it the (___) off our site. Mind you I didn't put the f word in there I just typed (___) to insinuate it. And you know what they did. The next time I came on it was gone. So for future note to all this site does take mean things regarding susan off this site! Thank Goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If Teesiel had susan see this site I sure didn't want susan to scroll down and watch that video and be reminded of all those ugle comments the press has been putting out.

@MisTia ,what a wonderful review!

It was the homecmong all Scotland had been waiting for. When Susan Boyle took to the stage at Glasgow's SECC, the crowd rose as one man to ther feet and cheered her to the echo before she had sung such much as a note.

All sorts were there to see here, from nine year olds to 90 year olds. In what was a far better show altogether than anyone really dared to hope, Susan was the stand-out star. No prizes for guessing which way Scotland voted a couple of Saturday's ago.

Wearing a grey shimmering gown similar to the one she had worn in the final, she emerged midway through the second half, looking composed and almsot serene. There was none of the playing to the cameras or the host. She acknowledged the ecstatic welcome and even motioned for the crowd to calm down so that she could sing.

And another comment !!!!!!!!!!

Crazy security deployed for Susan in Glascow: that might explain why there is no video yet...

http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/news/display.var.2514575.0.Security_tight_for_Boyle_on_her_return_to_home_stage.php

Troubled singer Susan Boyle took to the stage in Glasgow last night for the first Scottish date in the Britain's Got Talent live tour, just 24 hours after she pulled out of gigs in Manchester.

The 48-year-old church volunteer who became a global star was given a warm reception from the sell-out 10,000 audience at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre - her first performance in front of her home crowd since finishing runner-up in the ITV talent show earlier this month.

Unprecedented security was deployed by the organisers to prevent Ms Boyle being photographed before the show and later when she made her eagerly-awaited appearance on stage. She was driven in a black Mercedes through a side entrance to the building with a jacket over her head to prevent waiting media taking photographs of her.

The restrictions were equally severe for the media at the gig, who were neither given nor allowed to take photographs of the star act.

Boyle wowed the audience with her rendition of I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables, the signature ballad that first shot the 48-year-old church volunteer to international superstardom when she sang it at her audition in April. She followed it up with the tear-jerking anthem Memory, from the musical Cats.

There had been doubts yesterday about whether Ms Boyle, from Blackburn in West Lothian, would perform at the auditorium after she was rested from two shows on the third date of the tour in Manchester on Sunday.

She spent five days in the private Priory clinic in London after an anxiety attack following her last-ditch loss in the show earlier this month.

Concert-goers at the Manchester Evening News Arena were greeted at the venue with notices stating that Ms Boyle - dubbed "SuBo" - would not be appearing at either of the scheduled gigs. A spokesperson for the ITV reality show said she was expected to take part in the rest of the 23-date tour, which ends in Bournemouth on July 5.

Ms Boyle defied speculation that she would not be fit for the tour when she took to the stage at the debut date in Birmingham on Friday night. Rumours had been rife that she had not been turning up for rehearsals following her discharge from the clinic.

Signs of strain were showing on Saturday, however, as she stumbled over the words to Memory and faced a lukewarm reception from the Sheffield audience, with several people booing when her name was announced.

The tour moves to Edinburgh today with an evening show at the city's Playhouse, and will head to Aberdeen's AECC on June 23.

Last night's Glasgow audience seemed to underline what turned a modern-day variety show into a ratings blockbuster for ITV. Every possible demographic seemed to be turning out to see their favourite acts in the flesh, from pre-school children and pensioners to families, couples, teenage girls and even goths .

Jan McDiarmid, a 78-year-old pensioner from Greenock, had come with two friends. She said: "It's something different. We all watched the show, and it's nice, because it caters for everyone. I like the singers best, especially when they're singing some of the older tunes, but the dancing is good too. I just think it's all-round entertainment, really - like an old-style cabaret."

Meanwhile, groups of teenage girls decked out in flashing pink bunny ears squealed at the sight of their favourite acts - unanimously agreeing that "Shaun Smith and Aidan Davis!" were the reason they had splashed out on the £30 tickets.

Gemma Nicolson, a 32-year-old nurse, had come with her eight-year-old son, Kyle, and father, James, 56. She said: "It's hard to find something that everyone can enjoy, so I think that's why it's popular. And it's good when there's more than just singing too, because I think that can get a bit dull for the wee ones. It's just good fun."

Nighty night Ger...sleep tight ...don't let the Sue bug bite!! Sorry to later...you have already been bitten!!

Ariel....Just scrolling UP to see what I missed, caught a reference to Hyacinth....started calling my Hubby Onslo...and giving his 'belly' a squish now and again...He hated the reference at first...but now is quite taken with it....we get the show here in Canada (ex Brits)...now he calls me Daisy.....lol gotta go and find the comment that sparked yours......Just waiting for Onslo to get home.(He looks nothing like the real one..)

@TommyUSA - isn't it marvelous?! I am practically giddy with excitement for her! These first hand accounts sometimes give a much more personal view than the papers and to hear it was fabulous - oh I am sooooo happy for Susan! *hugs*

I WANT VIDEO! I WANT VIDEO! This will be the highlight of my day, actually I look forward everyday to this website. Oh I hope the video is good and clear and close enough!!!

aliz, i scour fox for news of Susan. I can't find anything. who's badmouthing her? Geraldo? why wouldn't that show up under my search.

Grrrrrrrr..........Jane.

Howdy YourAwesome,

Well, your comments summed it up right nicely for this ol' cowhand...

"WE LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF HER PERFECT AUDITION PERFORMANCE...EVERY SINGLE MINUTE!"

Well said.

Adios for now. Talk to ya on down the trail.

Wild Ol' Dan

@Mrslcan - I watched the audition again. There are so many moments that struck me. I guess I liked her curtsy (spelling?) after she raised her hand in triump just before walking off of the stage. She is so down-to-earth, yet has good humor elegance. I still cry watching it. Any guys cry on here?

MisTia, thank you so much for letting us know how it really was. So happy you got to see her and report to us, you lucky girl. I'm thrilled that the audience was so good to her - well, knew they would be. She's home now where she KNOWS everyone loves her. She's their own Superstar.

secondly - if the roof had not been firmly fixed - it would have flown off . The cheers, standing ovations, love from the audience just raised the roof. IT WAS FABULOUS. We cheered, whooped, cried and just adored her. I am sorry I do not have a vid - but she sang the same two songs. It is noticeable that she does not speak - you know - say anything to the audience. But the love that came towards her must have encouraged her. I can't believe I have seen her in person (row 3 ).

THIS QUOTE WAS TAKEN OFF OF YOU TUBE RIGHT AFTER THE SHOW BY SOMEONE THAT WAS THERE IN PERSON.

The best moment for me with Susan's audition is when she looked directly into the camera and said "I'm going to make that audience rock." no blinking no hesitation, and then she walked onto the stage. I knew from that moment on she would do something amazing. And she sure did.

Mrlscn: Just saw the idea that you posted re: favourite Susan moment -can't remember the exact words...such a lot to catch up on when you've been off site for an hour....anyway I think mine is the Susan shimmy shimmy, but she is 'behaving herself on the show' it seems...I am sure we'll see her trademark 'wiggle' again.....She warned us at the audition that there was 'more to her'....and we are surely seeing that now....Great woman...

Great post by joyceleo. I agree totally.

I agree--"I'm among friends, am I not?" is my favorite thing Susan has said. So cute, really precious. She is such a sweet lady and has an absolutely fabulous singing voice and even a musical sounding speaking voice. I wish her all the success she so richly deserves.

Lonnierose - good for you, and I'm soooo happy to hear that you gave Geraldo a serve!! Be a great smack in the teeth for him if the folks on this site boycotted his show in future! Let him see who's important to us!

sassyone: yes I love that one too...hard to pick ONE favourite moment...

It was the homecoming all Scotland had been waiting for. When Susan Boyle took to the stage at Glasgow's SECC, the crowd rose as one man to their feet and cheered her to the echo before she had sung such much as a note.

All sorts were there to see here, from nine year olds to 90 year olds. In what was a far better show altogether than anyone really dared to hope, Susan was the stand-out star. No prizes for guessing which way Scotland voted a couple of Saturday's ago.

ANOTHER QUOTE

@MisTia......yes, it made me grin from ear to ear when she said if the roof hadn't been secure, it would have blown off....!! GO SUSAN!!!! APPLAUD!!!! APPLAUD!!!!!!

You know 281..., when susan did that hip wiggle and said that's just one side of me, shows you her great presence of mind to draw that audience to her. She was drawing them in step by step, almost like one of those spiders that builds a trap door and the lures her prey in and then pounces. She pounced on them all right without their even knowing they were going to be pounced on.

MisTia, thx for the great news!

Tommy,THX, for letting us in the chatroom. Hope we left it nicely as it was, no litter on the floor, empty coffee cups etc.Again, the cookies are finished, sorry!

Sweet Susadreams for all!

Penny, wow! Something for everyone! Yes, that is the Tour, we are all tunnel visioned focusing on our Susan . But of course, the young ones would be ooing and awwing over the the young talent. Wonderful show and very successful fof BGT! Thank for the repost. Jane

People that have attended in Glasgow are posting comments here on her audition video on you tube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

Critics are saying her act is getting more polished.

Susan takes ovations in her strideSUSAN Boyle came on to the stage looking more like a superstar singer than the shy church volunteer who became an overnight musical sensation a few months ago.

The 48-year-old, who has been suffering from exhaustion and missed Sunday night's Manchester show, had real stage presence and the floor-length glittery blue dress she wore summed up her new personality since Britain's Got Talent ended. Most of all, she looked comfortable being back on stage and it helped that she was in front of a home audience. Her act was a lot more polished as she performed the song that made the world sit up and take notice, I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables.

There was no repeat of Boyle's awkward little bow after she lost to Diversity in the final of Britain's Got Talent. Her advisers must be doing everything they can to build her up as Boyle took the standing ovations in her stride.

http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/other/display.var.2514576.0.Susan_takes_ovations_in_her_stride.php

MIS TIA, thanks for the review!!! i guess you are the only one here who saw her in person yet.........

@WAMcKinley, I agree, I'm kind of surprised at that too. In one of the interviews with her brother Gerry he said he and his wife went out for the evening on the night the show was aired and they recorded it on thier VCR and watched it later. I was kind of surprised at that . I would have thought they would have watched it together on TV but I guess they thought it was no big deal. Well they see its a big deal now . I bet her whole family is grateful she went on that show now .

Wearing a grey shimmering gown similar to the one she had worn in the final, she emerged midway through the second half, looking composed and almsot serene. There was none of the playing to the cameras or the host. She acknowledged the ecstatic welcome and even motioned for the crowd to calm down so that she could sing.

JUST ONE MORE...

@Lonnirose - oh no dear, another fan went to see her, I quoted it. Ah how I wish I could have gone, alas no such fortune. Am just refreshing all the links I know like mad and well, this girl's account is wonderful isn't it? A more personal perspective from a fan, than the standard newspaper fair so had to share it :)

@geramsterdam.....lol......it's okay, I have a maid go in there every nite to clean up!! :) and you're welcome to use it anytime...always coffee, tea, and cookies..:)

I'mm copying this comment posted on Susan's original utube audition video:

It was the homecmong all Scotland had been waiting for. When Susan Boyle took to the stage at Glasgow's SECC, the crowd rose as one man to ther feet and cheered her to the echo before she had sung such much as a note.

All sorts were there to see here, from nine year olds to 90 year olds. In what was a far better show altogether than anyone really dared to hope, Susan was the stand-out star. No prizes for guessing which way Scotland voted a couple of Saturday's ago.

@Godscre: Does anyone cry watching the audition? I think the question is, "Does anyone not?"

'And that's just one side of me' just was reminded by the correct quote reading 28ll65's comment above. That's the one I meant.

Mriscan: I agree those moments when Susan realized that there was far more in that song than even she realized. It engulfed her too, being very profound and willing it as she understood it. I am glad no one disturbed that moment for her.

Gorgeous banner by the way...

Seriously everyone people that were there in person are leaving comments and telling what happened tonight here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

Oh, it was such a fabulous atmosphere - it's indescribable - and why were we crying? I don't know - just that we love her and so much wanted her to know that. It is hard to describe how we cheered every phrase, every big note, well just everything!!! To put it in perspective, I flew to New York to see Barbra Streisand in concert - fabulous. But dear, sweet, naieve Susan - she just tugs your heartstrings.

@TommyUSA No..you and Susan HAVE to be in Niagar Falls, Canada....so that I can come visit....

Another wonderful performance by our Susan. You go girl! Can't wait for you to come to Las Vegas!

@dmstennessee

Actually only one person went, the girl I quoted above; all the others are extracts from the papers so it's a bit of a confusion lol

Niagara Falls I mean...see...you've got me all frazzled now...I'll bring my Susan doll...when she arrives....and Susan and you can BOTH sign her dres...:)

@All: Earworm gone: It wasn't "That's what I think it is". It's "Had to think there". OK Lump in my throat again, but no getting used to it. And Piersy Baby did not say "Great Song", but "Big Song".

Favorite moment: As Susan was leaving the stage, she blew a kiss to those who had heckled her initially.

Class..pure class.

fumingjane I saw itt on this site about 11:00 this mornig. I immediately wrote to them asking that they remove it and they did. So you may not find it.

@ MrIscan on June 15, 2009 "An Idea.....lets all post on which tiny little bits of susan's videos...maybe overlooked by some.....but those little split second moments that touched you most."

It was her inSUciance. In the first few seconds I saw of her she blurted out what could be perceived as the biggest string of negatives a woman could utter (not in Susan’s world) ... single ... unemployed ... never been kissed ... and lived alone with her cat Pebbles. It was her utter lack of guile and upfront honesty, plus cheerfulness, that really caught my attention.

Then when she came on stage in a 50’s or 60’s style dress, dark stockings, in her Sunday ‘best’, with no attention being paid to contemporary hairstyling, makeup, or the current fetish for minimal eyebrow or underarm hair – no lipservice being paid to any of THAT CRAP, her only ornament a chain with a wedding band – brimming with confidence in her ability to sing superbly and maybe get a break for a career on the stage – not being phased by Simon’s patronising ‘darling’ and eye roll or the audience sniggering or the sarcastic wolf whistle ... then opening her mouth to deliver that magnificent voice and song to a stunned world .............

MrLscan, that’s what got me interested in Susan.

Anyway, it used to be with the Irish (and the Boyles are an Irish/Scottish clan), that if a soul could turn a phrase of poetry and find the beautiful melody – that meant a person was a success. Susan was faithful to her roots – in no way a slave of fashion.

All these reviews but no video?! I want to see it!!!

My favorite Susan moment is in one of the interviews when she says the audition was even better than she expected and then she said There you go.....so sweet and natural and I don't know just cute. I watch it over and over

@ammo....lol....don't you wish we could really sit down and talk to her, ANYWHERE..:)

In fact I love all the Susamoments you refer to! I love each and every face she puts on, each and every funny inflection in her voice, her weird Scottish accent, the way she walks, her regal poise, her cheeky frowns... She's so genuine that she has a unique reaction to every circumstance. See all the different emotions flickering through her face as she was listening to the judges after her performance on the finals! She's really alive! Not like those celebs who paste on their faces what they think is their best expression and insist on having only their best profiles on snaps!

@MisTia

Ok, thanks for that clarification...it's nice to see someone telling it like it was though. Can't wait to see some video.

So glad to hear she rocked them again. Can't wait to see the video performance. We love you and support you 100 percent Susan - you are so special.

@dmstennessee

Oh definitely, a more personal account and so positive too. I think over there people are as excited as we are, so everyone is quoting papers there as well. But I was tickled pink to hear from this one fan who went and well, said such wonderful things! Can't wait myself, been refreshing like mad lol

Thanks Wild Ol'Dan....EVERY SINGLE MINUTE!! :)

We are true crazzyyyyyyyyyyyy!! FANS!!!!!

Janet in Texas....'There you go' is one of my favourite bits too !

Ooh! Just clicked on to read the STV article...great stuff...Lonnirose there too...wow....got a bit sidetracked for a minute as I spotted some references to Coronation Street etc. (been following it since day 1 when I was 12 - 60 now)....Susan will be around for as long as Corrie has...of that I am sure...anyway stuck the link in my favourites and will check up on Corrie later.... for now...Susan Rules!

More details on Susan's Glasgow performance from a second STV article:

Susan Boyle Homecoming Raises the Roof

aliz, thanks. no one gonna diss our girl.

Is there a conspiracy going on with youtube ,blocking the Susan Glagow video's . I'm getting paranoid! It seems to be taking longer for anything to show up! Maybe the BGT didn't like all the cellphones recording their show and they are somehow blocking uploads?!

My favorite moment was when they interviewed her with the boys from Diversity after the Semi-Finals and she saw that doll of herself. She said, "That things better looking then me!" and then she held it up to her mouth and started to sing in a funny voice something about "no one is home". Just so funny. I especially liked the look on the fellow sitting next to her. He had this half shocked and half cracking up look.

@Tommy, my friend, you just never know what is around the corner....Susan is proof of that....:)

Well said HAPPY..that just about sums it up for us..Thanx

May favorite moment of Susan is just the second before she started singing. She made an "adorable" gesture in her mouth, like a little girl awaiting to surprise the audience.

A Glasgow clip showed up but it's been removed 'by the user' according to YouTube. Seems a bit odd to me.

@patriciasart....... I hope not...I have worn my mouse out refreshing the youtube search...lol

still not there yet........?! WAITING

LOL TOMMY

Dont get paranoid....I reckon that the powers that be have clamped down on the phone video recordings during the performance.....they musthave scoured the net yesterday looking at the so called illegal recordings....shame.....as if they don't want us to revel in Susan's success....but we will do whatever !!! WILL WE NOT ?

Didn't anyone read the article posted above, about security being extra-tight at Glasgow? With all the security around, it might have been VERY difficult for anyone to get a video. HOPE NOT, but alas it may be so...

@DJG-Scotland....that is odd...One that I downloaded and embedded on my website came up with a message on it later that said 'How are you people downloading my video..STOP IT!!!'

@TommyUSA - still a better deal than me; I think I'll end up with burns from my touchpad! ;)

I think I could stand the long airplane flight over there if I was going to see her. I'd really like to go to Scotland and see where she lived and meet people in the villages. I have to listen everyday to her singing and sometimes late at night when I can't sleep, I come into the den and listen to her. What a lovely voice and she has such a nice smile. Just can't wait for that video to be on here. Go Susan!!!!!!!!!

do not understand anyway that no TV is there!! it should, because of susan our WORLDSTAR!!

I have not found a video yet. But it's tricky, because her audition was in in Glasgow too. I tried a couple of search instruction, but nothing yet I think.

LOL @MisTia!! :)

Love that bit too Chayo.... Thought I was the only one who'd analysed these vids second by second....seems we all did.......think we probably know the ins and outs of Miss Susan Boyle better than anyone

"The only disappointments for the crowd was that they were not allowed to dance by some heavy security and the non-appearance of George Sampson, the previous winner, who had been billed to appear. No explanation was given for his absence."

THIS WAS IN THAT ARTICLE ABOUT GLASGOW. What do you think it meant by not allowed to dance by some heavy security? Do you think the confiscated cell phones? And interesting about George Sampson. No explanation given. Wow! And Susan has to have an explanation for everything! I guess it comes with being a Superstar.

Sorry, MisTia, please forgive - I misunderstood. It was a wonderful quote all the same, and I still thank you for it. Perhaps someday we can ALL go to see our Superstar together.

Oh Yeah, I really like the change in the Header. Watching and listening to Susan, and seeing her go through the changes is just so great. But we know that she will always be the 'Susan' we all fell in love with the day of her audition. She realizes a lot of people love her, love her voice, and are just patiently waiting to buy her CD's and hoping that she one day will come to their City so they can attend her concert.

It was in the news here in the United States that Susan will be doing some Corporate concerts and will be paid close to $200,000 dollars for three songs. http://www.popeater.com/music/article/susan-boyle-corporate-fee/526393 If this has already been posted Sorry.

APPLAUSE from this Susaddict. It brings me joy that she had such a triumph tonight. Like Wild Ol'Dan I belive she will perform most if not all of the remaining shows. I hope she is really feeling the love and appreciation, as being a performer seems to be in her blood. My DH loves to hate Hyacinth Bucket, but we watch old reruns.

One thing I keep thinking while watching the clips from the other venues, is 'what kind of hick audiences are these?!'. If you go to a concert to see somebody, you don't start chatting to your friends or start making 'whoop whoop' noises. I've been to loads of 'classical' concerts, and never seen anything like this. You sit in silence, clap politely after each piece, then stand at the end and maybe (depending on the venue!) give a polite but muted cheer at the end.

The new header looks wonderful! Great job!

Do you think with all the security tonight that we will get a video? It would be heartbreaking not to see that homecoming. They should just charge pay per view or whatever so we could see it...I would pay anything.

Where can you find the new banner to see?

I'm wondering if she was off yesterday so her "handlers" could tighten the security on pictures and videos. In a way I'm glad they are looking out for her. I'm an addict and want to see her everyday and get news on her but that may not be best for her career.

@Lonnirose - nothing to forgive dear! Wouldn't it be lovely if we could all go at the same time? A mass of us from here getting together and attending one concert - that would be so brilliant! :D

Top of this page is new banner

Anyone else waiting for Tommy to formally anounce Susan's 'Ladyship' ?

I'm wondering if they're being blocked because the event was recorded by SyCo for a possible DVD release? That would explain it.

You know I keep recommending that we inundate Oprah's web site with request's that she has susan on her show. Not by satolite but in person. I bet she would do it because simon knows her so well.

Wonder how people are smuggling in their cell phones. Leg pouches -- bras -- other?

Wonder how people are smuggling in their cell phones. Leg pouches -- bras -- other?

Aliz got me thinking...I watch most cable channels here in the USA. They ALL jumped on Susan's bandwagon after her stellar audition. Funny thing, I can't find where any have followed up or kept track of her progress as the tour begins.

So I fired one off to Larry King Live; let's see what that fetches.

Don't be shy about submitting your comments as well. The more the merrier!

No Susan yet on Youtube. Better leave work and go home to my man and my kitties..... later. Jane.

DJG right, but in this case do not forget susan is not alone performing it is a BGT TOUR

It all seems a little fishy to me. And the fact that You Tube went down right after the concert. I'm sure someone will get video up some time. But looks like right now the patrol police are out.

Heck, if I was attending I'd put a HD camcorder down my underwear. They can't check everywhere!

Aliz, NO OPRAH..........PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey where is tessiel!!!!!!

You got it DJG....same as the one they gave as a freebie in the sunday newspaper recently

Folks...I have tried every search phrase I can think of on youtube....I think my last one was 'We want a video of Susan Boyle at Glasgow RIGHT NOW!!!!' .... it didn't work...:(

Reading these reviews is wonderful about Susan. She is getting more and more confident. I don't agree that it was a lukewarm audience in Sheffield, most were appreciative of her. I have listened to that video on youtube several times and they are definitely cheering her on.

Can't wait to see the Glasgow performance!

Reinder,

Ther is one on Google and they say it is from Glasgow from YouTube but it still is nor clear whether it is really Glasgow or another performance. The one I saw is at long range with people talking in the background. Can't download it.

I have an account at YouTube but still no video yet.

IMO if we can't get anywhere on Youtube, it's because half the world is trying to find the Susan upload.

Don't paranoid. The folks trying to upload can't get through!!!

Let's stay off Youtube for an hour and let the geniuses do their thing.

Well I think there is a total blackout of the Glasgow videos, 2 or 3 sites announcing the video but is the Sheffield one. Holy Cow(ell) on the making?

What fumingjane posted above is true. The news about Susan here in the U.S. is really dying down. Very subdued over here regarding news about Susan Boyle. On occasion you may see a page like Huffington Post update her status but it is brief and the article is taken from what has already been syndicated.

Thank you heartshapedglasses for the new BEAUTIFUL picture of SUSAN added to the banner!! Our gal has so much class! I don't really care anymore if she sings on the tour in Britain or if she comes to sing on tour in the US or anywhere in the world. Just so she keeps on singing and we can buy DVDs or CDs. She's proven everything she needs prove. She's a professional singer and she can bring the house down when she choses to perform. At 48 I don't think I'd have wanted to sing every night and even every other night. Maybe a couple of nights a week or month. I'll bet anyone that Susan will have her house paid for in no time, taken care of all those family members and even have enough left over to buy a little cottage by the sea where she can watch the sunsets and the northern lights.

@TommyUSA - I am even using the most broad search possible - nothing. I think we are going to have to wait for this one. Think a little break is needed for all of us dear, you relax a bit too!

I don't know about Oprah. When she did have an opportunity to talk to Susan from her home, they subtitled her as though she were talking a foreign language and Oprah asked her the same stupid questions everyone was asking about a "makeover" and doing something with her hair.

I also loved the entire audition video and Susan's sweet, knowing smile just before she starts to sing. She has a secret no one else knows--that she is going to surprise and astound them as soon as she starts to sing. And she did. As well as the whole world when they saw her performance on Youtube. It is seven plus minutes of video that will go down in history and never be forgotten. I love it and have tears and chills every time I view it still.

MisTia, that would be wonderful if we could go together, wouldn't it? I just know in my heart that we'll get to see her someday. I would pay any price to see her, even if I had to do without something I really need.

fumingjane, I bet Larry King would love to have Susan on again. As far as I could tell in his interview with her and conversations about her, he seems like a fan. He was very kind in his manner towards her.

DJG...Your right...they can't check everywhere!!

Godsce...The BANNER when you fist sign on..has been updated with newer pics of Susan! She looks gorgeous!!

STILL WAITING>>...for vids

Can I suggest that perhaps Susan doesn't like having her performances filmed without her permission? If she and her manager are planning to release a DVD of her performing 'live' they may regard the illegal filming and distribution of the camera phone clips as unhelpful. Unless the law in the UK is different, it is illegal to film concerts without permission of the artist and the venue.

MisTia and the rest of the Villagers.

Youtube is bombarded. We have to stay away for hours so our on scene reporters can UPLOAD!!! They can't get through, if we can't get through.

Let's convene a meeting in three hours.

Jane.

Maybe the reason why there's no video of tonight's show is that producers intend it to be part of a DVD of the Tour they'll market this summer. Susan's home coming had to be one of the highlights of this tour and everything must have been carefully planned for it to be an absolute success.

@ aliz. No, I don't want her on Oprah. Not yet. She needs to stay in the UK instead of jetting around and exhausting herself again. I don't think Oprah's interviewing is that great - she'll be patronizingly sweet - and Susan is too trusting. She should talk to Elaine Paige first who experienced how traitorous women journalists can be. When Susan was on Oprah's show, it was Simon who redirected the attention to Susan.

DJG, So funny they wouldn't look there. I have a battery implanted in my bum and will set off all security alarms, so I could smuggle one in without coming under suspicion. I actuall have to carry a permit in the airposrt sayin I will set it off due to the battery. I have it to reduce nerve pain from an auto accident. The woman was actually looking down to dial her cell phone, while in a 45 to 50 mile per hour zone. Hit me head on. NEver even remember the crash.

@MisTia......okay, if I must....haven't eaten anything today anyway....maybe go fix me a sandwich....:)

Lonnirose, Since Susan has been on Larry King Live before I am sure if anyne can get Susan again it will be him. :)

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! are there any Glasgow videos yet?

I think if a video does appear you'll have to grab it because it's likely not to be there for long. I would ask that if anyone is lucky enough to find one, to please use the www.vixy.net online conversion service and save it to a DivX file. I will need that to produce a DVD image for you all. Don't forget that I now have 3 DVDs available for you to download: Birmingham, Sheffield, and the 4 Early Videos (1984, Barrymore, wedding party). Details are spread around various postings to various blogs (I really could do with a section off the 'site navigation' to put details of these).

Someone must have kidnaped Teesiel..she said last night that she was going right back to the hotel after the concert because she would be too nervous to eat and the hotel was only three blocks from the venue. Either that or she's with Susan.

Got it I think!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pGpXlZLbBU

Should be it!

DJG They'd sure get sued ==if they tried to do the airport search and they would delay the performance by hours most likely. I'd manage to get one through for sure if ever Susan performed somewhere around LA, and I do expect her to.

Definitely not Sheffield people, it's Glasgow all right!

Susan is the hero to all of us and many more. I found the following interesting. Look at the last two paragraphs of this article (thanks to DocRobbie):

"No amount of cheering could bring her back to join in with some of the other acts who combined in a slew of new routines.

The only disappointments for the crowd was that they were not allowed to dance by some heavy security and the non-appearance of George Sampson, the previous winner, who had been billed to appear. No explanation was given for his absence."

It appears other acts have been able to have new routines. Not that I'm asking for new from Susan but it was spread around (here) that they had to perform their original acts.

More interestingly to me is the fact that they were disappointed that George Sampson wasn't there (with no explanation) - the last paragraph - not headlines when Susan "pulled out"

Human beings have such different standards.They should make just a big a deal out of him not being there..blah blah blah....

Go Get em Susan

@jawhawke fan,

Teesiel may caught in a big crowd !!

SUSAN GLASGOW VIDEO

Way to go MisTia - thanks so much!!

Here it is!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pGpXlZLbBU

Wild people, it was totally brilliant - woot!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pGpXlZLbBU

Will have it uploaded to the site in a few minutes!!!

The one I found by googling says Glasgow but no download. Not on YouTube.

Yes, it's Glasgow! I was just about to post it, but you beat me to it MisTia! Will try to add it to this site's videos right now.

TOMMYUSA YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!

Hey I didn't mean right now.for oprah, I just mean sometime, but is we inundate someone who would be caring towards her then lets do it. I just don't want the satolite views. I want to see her do it in person, where her personality come through. I have looked and looked for the full oprah verson. I think Oprah was very kind to her and asked if she wanted the questions about a make over to stop. She was the only person who was kind enough to ask that. Maybe Diane sawyer would be good too. Plus diane could do a jig or two with her, which would be fun for susan to do. She apparently can really dance a scotish jig as she has done on this tour with diversity.

In case you missed anything.....269 articles about Susan: http://www.stv.tv/topics/susan-boyle/1/

First impressions -

1. The audience was well behaved, especially during the second song; we can actually hear her! 2. They loved her! They really did bring the roof down!

3. Most important - she sang ... sublimely! Go Susan!

Life is good :)

HOWDY PARDS,

GO TO YOUTUBE NOW! THERE IS AN 8 MINUTE VIDEO. IT'S GLASGOW. GO!

WILD OL' DAN

Tommy is a star....

I just rejoined blog. Scrolling up from bottom...aliz, what do you think of Ellen asking Susan on her show. I only watch Ellen when my girls visit or I visit them...but I like her style....she's kind and understand. I am sure she'd be great with Susan and Ellen always starts out with HER dance...Susan could teach her 'Susan's shimmy' :)

UPLOADING TO THE FANSITE AS I TYPE!!!

She sang as the real star she is our Susan gets better and better

Boyle Susan Boyle -Licenced to Thrill!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh...My.....God.........that was her best. I have shivers. I know the audience loves her but they need to be quiet while she is singing. Yes, I am a teacher, can you tell???

OK, grabbed it. Sound is muffled in parts - I do wish these kids with phones would work out how they work. That's what user guides are for!

Glad a video has been found! Yes, now I see the banner has been upgraded. Duh!

LOL GREAT!!! SIMPLY WONDERFUL!!! CRYING AGAIN!!! SUSAN OWNS THAT CROWD!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO The audience yelled out "WE LOVE YOU SUSAN!" Yes we do!!! Awwwwww...that made my day!!! Thanks Tia and Tommy!! :)

A big shout out of thanks to all of you who post links to other articles for us (not to mention the videos and pictures). Instead of hunting for news now, I just come here and get the best news and reviews from the folks who love her best.

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES ROCKROCKROCKROCKROCKROCK!!!!!!!!! Susan is was absolutely S P E C T A C U L A R!!!!!!!!!!!

Tommy are you there and did you get a video. Thank You so much for doing the other videos!

@protectsusan, don'tet me go off on that "handler" issue again...

@TommyUSA, you've got mail.

To all the rest of you who keep us posted as best you can, thank you.

@Ammo, being in Ontario, I love your Niagara Falls site idea, but Susan didn't like the doll, she thought it looked like a man in a dress, I would not ask her to sign it if I were you....

Hey ammo, way to go I didn't even think about ellen, but that would be great5, The only thing is ellen's show is too short. But how great that would be no doubt. You go ammo girl, what a great suggggestion

new BLOG nEW bLOG!!!!!!!

Howdy Pards,

Oh my gosh, what a spectacular performance...the entire country of Scotland must have shown up for this!

The electricity in the room was incredible! What joy! What happiness! What a tremendous tribute to Scotland's spectacular singing sensation! Oh...this was simply wonderful! Thank you God for giving our undeserving world a true Angel...if you haven't guessed by now this ol' cowhand is once again sheddin' a tear or two for Susan's triumphant return to her homeland!

This...this...was the best of all! Oh...to have been there in that room tonight!

Her star is rising still! The MC said, "I have never heard a reaction like this! SUSAN BOYLE! Wow!"

Let the celebration continue!

Adios for now. Talk to ya on down the trail.

Wild Ol' Dan

Oh, I am SOOOOO glad that Susan did well at Glasgow. I was afraid that when she missed the Manchester date that she would be swamped with bad publicity and that her career would be over before it began. Oh, Me of little Faith!!!! I was actually afraid to come back here and find out what had been happening. I have just given a huge quack of relief! Bless Her Beak and tailfeathers!

An earlier post said security wasn't permitting pics/video..do you suppose that's the problem???

AAAAAAAMAZING!! i wished it was clearer and the screams and cheers weren't so audible. but susan's voice is still so pure if not the purest since touring. incredible. i want another video where i can see her sing and her voice clearer. woo hooooo

This was such a great rendition of IDAD!! I am so thrilled; she is getting better and better and the sky is the limit!

Listen at 6:49 - when she goes - "but he was gone" - this is the first time she sang it that way and it is so West End! Best I've heard from her and I am so glad she was great tonight, especially as she's home. Sublime!

OK, got into MPEG-2 format just got to run it through the transcoder and onto DVD now. I'll start that running, but it's late here so it'll probably be tomorrow when you can all download the DVD image. I'll let you all know when it's ready to go.

HEY EVERYBODY ......NEW BLOG WITH THE VIDEO...DOCROBBIE GOT IT UPLOADED .....CONGRATULATIONS TO DOCROBBIE!!!

Great seeing this video, even though you couldn't make out Susan's face because it was washed out due to the bright flood lights shining on her. A very exciting show, my heart was pounding throughout. It was great hearing the crowd chanting "SuBo SuBo SuBo" during various part of her performance. Finally Stephen Mulhern saying at the end "I have never heard a reaction like it! Susan Boyle! Wow." A wonderful homecoming for Susan!

Thanks, TommyUSA. Everyone go to the new blog and watch the amazing video!

Tommy you're great! You grabbed it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Susan just keeps getting better and better. She's probably getting usedto the crowds. And I imagine she's becoming more accustomed bit by bit to all the hoopla that's surrounding her at each venue. Hard as it is, this tour is probably good learning for her. Just so she takes time to rest when she needs to.

Thank you for the video - Susan's supurb triumph is a joy to behold.

NEW BLOG WITH VIDEO!!! GO GO GO :)

WOW I agree Susan gets better with each performance! The timing & emphasis to certain words gives a different nuance each time. I sure would like to hear Susan sing live with an orchestra. She also deserves a new and different dress. Breathtaking!

WOOOOOW!! Thanks so much, Tommy! Better than ever, but wouldn't it be wonderful if they could keep the yobbos quiet!! Reckon she stunned them when she started up with "I Dreamed a Dream" - they were a lot more subdued! Seems some of the younger set are developing more taste!

I don't know if anyone noticed, harping back to the audition, but when Susan finished her song and started walking off, Amanda Holden shouted 'oi' and Piers shouted 'come back here', then Ant and Dec signalled to her to retrace her steps. It occurred to me that none of the judges could recall her name! Her name must be embedded in their memories now!

Thank you so much for that beautiful banner and the new pictures. Looks great! What a nice surprise. This is the best site any where around and - so fast to get the shows, info, etc.. on. Thank you.

TommyUSA: I knew you would do it. Thank you very much for the video. Beautiful!!! I got very emotional all the way to the end.

GOBSMACKED! GOBSMACKED! GOBSMACKED! I HAVE TRULY EXPERIENCED THAT WORD!!

When we got there people were walking into the auditorium--the room for BGT Tour was about the size of half an NBA court. It is literally an auditorium with rows of connected folding chairs, attached cushions and a giant screen behind the stage like fanavision at pro sports. When we sat down the first thing I noticed was 4 men in suits chatting and immediately recognized one of them as the man who is shown in all travel photos with Susan--the tall guy with the salt/pepper gray hair. I asked him if he was the man I see in the papers with Susan and he chuckled and said "Depends what papers you read. Yes, I do travel with one of our performers."

Every performer wears their "Finals" outfits for every show--they have multiples of them. You have to see Susan's gown in person--it is exquisite up close--not the sack like look it sometimes takes on in videos.

Susan Boyle was perfect tonight in Glasgow! We were so close--6 feet away, that I could actually see where her eyeliner started and stopped. She looked like a star at Madison Square Garden, I am not exxagerating . The Susan on the original audition is no more. The 9 finalists all performed before intermission (from 7:45-8:45) Then Stephen Mulhern introduced Flawless who danced again. Then he said his line about the most googled person etc and Susan walked out!

Susan drew huge cheers, in the front she came through loud and clear (screaming from teen girls in the video stayed in the back) everyone let her sing and it was fabulous--the crowd was so respectful. Stephen Mulhern said "Glasgow, I mean this when I say..you have been the best audience we have had and you can watch clips of all previous shows and know I have not said that before. I really mean it."

Based on all the cameras we could see in the one video I imagine there will be lots more videos coming...and I'll watch every one of them...Yeah!!!

Susan in Glasgow

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pGpXlZLbBU

Thank you Teesiel--what a wonderful treat to be there to see Susan in person and to be so close. And thank you for your first hand report. I watched the first video posted and Susan sounded marvelous. I can just feel her happiness and I am so happy for her. Although life killed her dream for so many years, she is finally getting the recognition and adulation she deserves.

Carol in California, USA

After Susan's 2nd song--I Dreamed a Dream, she hesitated and waved and then she said "Thank you Glasgow". It was loud and clear. There are already Glasgow videos up so no need for me to forward mine (it is a keeper for sure) but when we do Edinburgh tomorrow if none are up I'll send mine into this site.

None of the performers say anything to the audience--Susan was the only one who did when she said thank you Glasgow. She lingered and then walked off. This is not a particularly professional tour and from the front row when you look to the left and right of the stage (because the curtain is not shut--by about 2 feet.), we watched Susan and the 2 grand grandad watching the acts from the side laughing and chatting.

What is my favorite part is they reintroduce each act at the end and they are all on stage while they wrap--for about 5 minutes and I loved watching Susan Boyle tapping her toe and bopping her chin up and down and lightly clapping to the music standing next to the sax guy. She was soooorelaxed.

I can't even describe the Susan Boyle who I saw tonight--Oh by the way for sure Susan is about 5'3" if she didn't have the heels on. Her professional make-up, the whole package was mind blowing. She seemed to really relax and showed no signs up nerves--it was a beautiful night and she performed beautifully.

The 17 yr old Shaun and the grandad had a bit of line skipping but we won't read about that I am sure.

I was stopped by a camera crew and asked if it was true that I cam from Philadelphia (the suburbs really) and then they asked me to do a chat. It's a big station--I will look for it tomorrow and if it's not too spazzy I'll post the link. On to Edinburgh--thanks for all of the kind words Susan Boyle fans.

dmstennessee: Maybe they wouldn't let them dance because the stage was not strong enough to handle the weight and the terrific pounding. Stages and Seats have been known to shatter in a pretty spectacular crash.

Teesie, You are one lucky lady. We can live vicariously through you. Glad Susan seems to be enjoying her success.

Tessiel, I want to see your video. Please upload it. You were so close I'm sure it must be good.

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo Susan !!!! what can I say ??? Simply, Truely Beautiful ... Thank you Glasgow Thank you Susan !!! Ciao

Thank you,Teesiel. What a great report of the Glasgow! Since you were sitting close enough to see Susan's eyeliner, I do believe you SHOULD post your video. The one on youtube is excellent audio, but so far away that none of her facial expressions can be seen... Thanks again!!!!!

Campbell Brown (CNN USA) just had a piece on Susan Boyle (the piece was delivered by the entertainment reporter on Campbell Brown's show)who reported how much money Susan was charging to do corporate gigs - in comparison to the miniscule amount that President Clinton makes for doing 1 speech. Campbell Brown let out a Wow! and then said, "Well, Good For Her!" :) (I can't remember the 2 figures they used for comparison) That's our Girl...

I agree with Randma Teesiel about posting your video - pleeze

Thanks Teesiel- we saw a video tonight and i agree you were at the best perf so far- susan was flawless and totaly professional- how beautiful is she in person? That is what I want to know. Did she smile a lot? we could not really see her face in the yutube vid? Does she look happy? MORE. I Know it is late. email me tomorrow. terijay7@aol.com

@Teesiel, wow, an interview. Will look forward to seeing that. I love your mentioning Susan backstage with the grandfather. That sounds like the Susan from Blackburn, Scotland that we became enamoured with two months ago. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

@Nibbana, I read an article about that today that said $16,000 per minute. It was not a very positive article. I did not like it.

Got it !! Thank you one and all for that first warning to ..GO !!!

@Teesiel, thank you for your report. Glad you could be there. What a fantastic memory for you to always keep. Now.. you owe your hubby big time. LOL !

Marianne

After waiting all day, it is a relief to finally get a video,and a report first hand. We want more. Please put your video on the sight since you were so close. The others are far away and you really only see a shadowy form moving. One of the videos is OK but I bet everyone wants to see yours since it is so close PLEEEEEEEASSSSSEEEEEE!!!!Beg, Beg..Big hug from Texas from one who loves Susan. Think I'l go get a beer now and go to sleep if I can get Memories to stop whirlng around in my head...Love out Susan

@Janet in Texas: will ask my husband to do it tomorrow for me--but there are so many on here they may not use it. For Edinburgh do u think it is better to get video or some still shots of Susan--I can only do one or the other do to time constraints. There were so many beautiful shots I could have gotten tonight--I feel like I wasted an opportunity--can always find the youtube stuff--what do you ALL think?

Teesiel, Thank you for sharing your wonderful Susan adventure. Please take pictures...there's not enough good ones.

@ Teesiel. Thanks for everything you've done so far - really terrific reporting. Do whatever you feel best for tomorrow. Stills will be wonderful. Enjoy the tour of Blackburn and yes, heaps of stills from there. We know there's a pub and a church and a community hall - is there a shopping center there? Maybe some shots of the town part, if you get the opportunity. Looking forward to seeing you on telly, our very own celebrity reporter:)

Hi Teesiel. I saw you on GMTV this morning - great interview. Great report on the show - thank you!

Thank you Teesiel for that report. For all who were there, I am so envious. Have watched a couple of videos including the one Tommy put up with closeups. Lady Susan is so beautiful. Glad she are keeping that haircut, it is perfect for her. She is singing with more power and authority than ever, and her voice is just getting better, hard as that is to believe. Talk about nailing it all. So glad she wasn't rushed right off and was allowed time to respond to the crowd. Kudos to the Scottish people for showing her how much they love her. Looking forward to seeing the Edinburgh video. I hope they will release a DVD. After Edinburgh she should take another break, IMHO.

Danny

Teesiel-well if you can only do one or the other and you are up close and the video is clear, still and not too full of screams, I'd say do video..otherwise stills. We all trust your judgement..just give us another detailed description of everything. It was reported that Piers and Simon were supposed to be at the Glasgow show Did you see them or hear if they were there??
