Susan Boyle is making the news big time so I hope this posting conforms to guidelines. She's a really terrific singer and she recorded this song in 1999 for charity! The CD sold 1,000 copies.

Hope everyone enjoys this.

1. She's a "fuck the guidelines" situation. :)

[drm604]

2. I agree.

The way she breaks stereotypes is almost a political statement in itself.

3. Susan singing "I Dreamed A Dream"

And for those 3 people who haven't yet seen her appearance on "Britain's Got Talent 2009" here's the Youtube link to her singing "I DREAMED A DREAM".

ENJOY!

27. Wow.... just..... WOW.......

Moved to tears.

[Merlot]

4. A bluesy Patsy Cline sound. So much depth in her voice!

[Better Believe It]

5. My Dad loved Patsy Cline. Patsy was his favorite female vocalist

[JDPriestly]

13. She sounds a lot like Streisand in places on this cut.

If she is out of nowhere and recorded this in 1999 for charity, how did she get the orchestral accompaniment? I wonder if this one is for real. Sorry, but she manages certain tones just like Streisand. There is an uncanny similarity. She gets away from it at other times. Just saying.

[Captain Hilts]

18. Streisand - who also was considered funny looking is the best comparison. nt

[Swagman]

20. I agree..she has the beauty of Streisand's voice and a lovely lovely karma

[Captain Hilts]

23. When you see those young clips of Streisand on the Judy Garland Show, for example...

it's almost as if the baton is being passed.

And give Judy credit for enjoying it and knowing talent when she saw it.

Ella's looks held her out of 'main stream' music for quite a while.

33. Barbra on Dinah Shore

Ella's career went from '35, at age about 20, until her death in '96. In '42, she got a recording contract.

[Captain Hilts]

35. Ella wasn't a 'mainstream' artist unitl the songbooks. nt

36. COLE PORTER songbook, 1956

[Captain Hilts]

39. That's my FAVORITE!

[elleng]

41. Well, he's GOOD!

24. She has been on a few of the talk shows today and I saw her sing part of the same song without music

and she still had perfect tone. I saw in another article today that the CD that she sang on in 1999 was for a benefit and she was one of the non professionals piked to sing a song (Cry Me a River). They only made 1,000 CD's and this article was saying that they will be a hot number now (those who bought them have a treasure). She is for real and it is great that she has finally been discovered by the world!

[JDPriestly]

48. Yes, her sense of pitch when singing a capella is amazing.

I think that comes from singing in church choir a lot. I bet she started singing very early in her life -- in church.

[Mrs. Overall]

38. It's real--Times Online just issued a story about it:

Susan Boyle recording of Cry Me A River uncovered

A recording made ten years ago by the unlikely Britain’s Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle has been uncovered.

The sudden singing star’s spokeswoman confirmed this morning that an emotional recording of Cry Me A River which hit YouTube late last night is the 48-year-old Scot.

She reportedly covered the blues ballad for a charity album in 1999, partly funded by the tiny Whitburn Community Council in West Lothian, where she lives. Only 1,000 copies of the CD were pressed.

47. She's singing to a tape

And I'm guessing it's Streisand's arrangement, with Bab's voice stripped out. That's why it sounds so familiar. I played the hell out of The Barbra Streisand album when I was a teen. Ms. Boyle was probably as influenced by La' Streisand as I was.

[Captain Hilts]

19. Patsy Cline had a fabulous, deep voice. nt

[Merlot]

40. It's the emotional quality in Susans voice that reminds me of Patsy Cline

Every word and note are so honest, and make you want to cry.

[Mrs. Overall]

37. I hear both Patsy Cline and Barbra Streisand in her voice. Absolutely beautiful.

[Captain Hilts]

42. And a wee bit o' Garland. nt

[rasputin1952]

6. That was great!

Can't wait for the new CD that will be coming soon.

What a range!...:D

[MissPuddy]

7. Thanks for posting! She lifts my spirits!

Susan Boyle is my hero! She gives a lot of "little people" hope...

[elleng]

8. OH WOW!

She really HAS it! AmAzing!

My first FAV for this song was Ella, and I can't find that version, but here's another Ella.

10. Lovely!

[ro1942]

11. wow

thanks for posting, got goose bumps

[pacalo]

12. Wow. Great rendition.

The violins have an effect on me, too. Saved in my favorites.

[juno jones]

14. One of my favorite songs

Great lounge tune.

[elleng]

32. Ella refers to it as 'torchy.'

[Extend a Hand]

15. can you help me

I posted a link to this earlier and for my future reference, I would love to know how to embed the youtubes like you did?

[pacalo]

16. Click onto the "political videos" forum & the first post you see by one of the

administrators explains each step. :)

[Extend a Hand]

17. thank you! n/t.

[SeattleGirl]

21. Wow! Love that song, and her rendition of it is great.

Thanks, BBI!

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. Thank you for posting. I could not get a different site to work.

Wow....what a voice.

[intheflow]

25. I just get chills when I hear her.

She has a truly amazing voice, and also an incredible depth of feeling. Thanks for posting.

[Better Believe It]

26. Some wonderful pictures of Susan Boyle back home and in the neighborhood

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsaF5-moIvQ

No sound, but great pictures of Susan.

A regular down to earth working class person we can relate too with an incredible voice.

[elleng]

29. Her interview with Scottish Television:

[Karenina]

45. YOU FUCKIN' BETCHA WE'RE RIGHT BEHIND HER!!!

So now I'm yet again engulfed in tears. Thanks for posting that.

Be it whatever it is, Susan Boyle's triumph cuts to the marrow. If it's a "distraction," it is one I very much needed at this time, in this place. I never blasted through the wall of "not looking the part" and that she *has* fills my heart with such INCREDIBLE JOY!!!

Tante K. in her former life with her "not-quite-right" look. :rofl:

[DearAbby]

28. Very expressive voice

She has a very bright future, someone get her on contract...

[NancyBotwin]

30. Wow. Even better!

After watching the youtube video, I was smiling and almost cried. I really want to see her in concert now hahahaha.

[elleng]

31. Compare with Ella singing Cry Me a River,

not Ella's best recording of this one.

http://movies.apunkachoice.com/names/ell/ella/cid_166543/videos/ceytid/jAoABuJS1MA/ella-fitzgerald-and-joe-pass---cry-me-a-river--1975.html

[Lorien]

43. A very different quality to each

Ella's is smokier, jazzier, and more practiced, while Boyle's has a clean but very soulful quality to it.

[Karenina]

46. WHY? It's apples and oranges.

[The Backlash Cometh]

34. She reminds me of Karen Carpenter!

What a voice! The way she sang it, I was hearing Karen Carpenter singing Superstar Lyrics. Long ago and not so far away...

[Turborama]

44. Wonderful wonderful wonderful! Thanks so much, what a great find!!!

I just cannot wait to see her next performance when it's uploaded after tomorrow's show. It's also going to be an amazing thing to see when she wins and sings in front of the Queen!
