@Lightwizard,
Hey Letty, Edgar, Baz, LW et al!
WELCOME BACK PANZADE " you were missed. So good to read that all is good and the op went well. Lovely to see YOU back.
Oh....... you know, Britain’s Got Talent! I hadn't seen anything about Susan Boyle in the press or news so .... you know what I think is special about this lady " it’s that she walked onto that stage, relatively an unknown person except to her and hers... She was shaking scared nervous " a little sassy, she looked the judges and the audience in the face... then when she heard the first few bars " her whole heart and soul came to the fore and she found her comfort zone " such a beautiful voice and that’s just it " beauty comes from within. She showed the whole world her beauty. She brought me to tears within seconds " I can only imagine the feeling she must have got when the crowd responded to her voice.
Now....... thing is " this lady " well, I hope for her that she gets her dream " tho, by appearing just that once " her dream came true. She’s proven she has the voice " the “makeover”... I’ve only seen the pic you posted LW " I think she looks pretty darn coco. I don’t think she looks too glam or has had anything taken away from her “raw appeal”. Gosh, if someone offered me a makeover " I’d jump at the chance not for them, but for me " good on her I reckon. What I do hope tho, is that she continues to go ahead with Britains Got Talent and not take off to the USA immediately " that could come in time if she is given the opportunity " but me... if I were her, well, I’d wish to show the world through Britain that her talent isn’t a “one off” " this lady could go places " I hope if this is what she wishes for " that it will happen for her.
I actually, tho I don’t like his tone at times, have huge respect for Simon Cowell as someone who I believe “knows a good thing when he sees one” " you can’t go too wrong with Will Young, Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke in my opinion. Other than that, I don’t know who he signs up " I listen to the voice and music " not a record label. That’s why I think Susan Boyle is special " her voice and who she is inside is what’s important. I really hope she sticks with the show " I’d worry that if she’s snapped up by the US immediately, tho that could be fantastic for her, perhaps she might lose a little of “herself”.
Whatever happens " she has IMHO a truly special voice " so does wee Holly Steel.
(hate to say it, but I know nothing about designer labels, record labels or anything “superstar”ish " if someone famous passed me in the street, I probably wouldn’t have a clue

Even if I had the most amazing voice in the world - I would never have the courage to do what she did - takes a lot of courage to get up on that stage - if she wishes for fame - she probably will get it - sometimes tho, it's not so much the "fame" that people want, they just want their talent recognised. I hope she remains true to her. A little part of me hopes she doesn't go "Hollywood" - her identity is really important and she'll still have an incredible voice)
Oh....... now as for Julie Andrews......... the hilllllllls arreea aaallliiive.... allalalalallallalallallalaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllaa - so me - except I can't sing a note!
Hey Urs... oh, has been a while.... love and hugs to you and BigDice. x
<apologies Letty..... I talked a lot there a?>
