Susan Boyle was presented by Simon Cowell as an 47 year-old, unemployed woman who needed her first chance to sing.
Her dialogue with Simon seemed carefully rehearsed. Stage-struck amateurs do not come across poised enough to mock the powerful host of a famous show.
We are supposed to believe that the panel had no idea she could really sing! They went from sour to ecstatic in seconds.
Now You Tube has registered 100 million hits on various versions of the performance.
Susan clearly had a polished, professional voice, completely in control - unlike their cell phone guy who sang opera. He was probably a real Cinderella, or Cinderfeller. I found his performance far more compelling because it was honestly done.
Susan recorded "Cry Me a River" 10 years ago with a full orchestra, so she was not exactly a newcomer, an amateur or a miraculous find.
I looked up her fan site, which lacks any real information, except the immediate present. Her voice is beautiful so I hope she does well. It appears that she tried in the past and her career did not take hold. I know someone like that in Hollywood. He became a minor star. Millions have seen him in movies like "The Fly" but he did not start any prairie fires, as Reagan used to say.
People enjoy lies. The lottery in every state is a lie. Social Security is the world's biggest Ponzi scheme, but no one puts Congress under house arrest, as poor Bernie Madoff is - in his penthouse. He made off with only $50 billion. Congress has America on the hook for trillions in unfunded liabilities.
America just elected a president with no history. He had quite a sordid history, but no one wanted to hear it. He foreshadowed Susan Boyle, arriving as something he was not. Now he has already done more damage on the domestic side and in foreign relations than Carter did in four years. The evil continues and grows.

The ingredients for the crust baked for the evil pie full of lies, made in the kitchen of the Global New World Order, can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_tf25lx_3o&feature=PlayList&p=6B6423C51A85B40B&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=30
This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who has spent even a modicum of time looking at what happened on September 11th. It is another clear piece of evidence that those in power will do anything to achieve a global socialist New World Order of which Christ says, Matt. 24:21, "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." And the Lutheran churches are marching to it's New Age beat. Just look at where the money goes that WELS, ELS, ELCA, LCMS and Thrivent give to Lutheran World Relief. It finances the Satanic NWO and the seat of the Antichrist.
The current administration is only building on the foundation laid by the former ones. Now is the time to reject false teachers (2 Peter 2:17), openly condemn false doctrine and teach the pure Word of God (2 Timothy 4:2)and rightly administer His Sacraments. Put on the full armor of Christ so that, by the grace of God, you can endure to the end.
Ephesians 6:11-18, "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;"
To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I think it was Peter Schiff who said we oughta hire Bernie Madoff as the US Sectretary of the Treasury. As Schiff noted, The entire government is using the bigger fool theory and they manage to do is create more negative growth. At least Madoff made profit--at least some of his share holders got paid.
Obama is toast. Though he's done and will do quite a bit of damamge before he's through, he's a goner. He's been commiting political suicide since day 1. No chance he'll get re-elected.
But hear Ye republicans! Jackson, did you vote for Bush? Talk about a sordid past! Claiming to be fiscally conservative and then spending as much as he did? (domestic spending) Legalizing espionage on US citizens? Writing policy that exchanges security for liberty? Opening the floodgate (that'll never be closed) of government bailout ofthe private sector?
If I hear one more Bush Republican tear Obama down I will scream. Listen up! Everything evil that Obama will do in the next 3.5 years was made possible by Bush precident.
William Roper: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!
Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
William Roper: Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!

About Susan Boyle, and your posts in general. I have noticed that all too often you leave out whatever facts you want to make a point. I suppose any rediculous extremist would act the same way though, so why would one expect less from you?
She never said she did not have training. In fact, she has said many times that she started out furthering her education towards perfomance arts, but due to family situations, she left school to focus on those issues. Obviously, she held her family's well being as a higher priority than furthering her creativity and career at the time. Whether she has faith or not, that is the sort of behavior that should be inherent in all christian families, but unfortunately is pushed aside in this day and age. You should know, since you claim to be such a traditionalist.
Almost anyone can record their singing with any sort of chorus or instrumentals backing them up. All they need is the right people behind them, such as a church or those she knew via her, old but probably still there, ties to those who also are musically inclined. Does not mean she was ever given the chance to become a big hit.
Also, it is a sad fact that you acknowledge within yourself, vicariously through the tarnishing words towards this older woman, that you obviously hold a host of a show up on a pedestal and feel that he is not a human who can be spoken to freely, if one choses. She has confidence, and has come to realize that Simon is not some godly untouchable being. For one who has no qualms about preaching his faith, you holding an entertainer up so high that you feel that when someone talks back to them that it obviously could not be real, should make you step back and re-evaluate the key points in your own life.

We too enjoyed the Susan Boyle video immensely. But we need to remember that this "reality/audition" show is big business and there's no way they're going to let an unknown rank amateur on stage. Britain is too big to not screen the stage (maybe in A-town.)
Everyone on that stage has been screened by junior producers just like on the audition rounds of American Idol. Surely the judges are at least told "she's a ringer." Note Simon's questions ahead of her song which prop her up for a crash-and-burn failure. Those questions aren't asked of each act. As she walks on the stage, she uses an exaggerated swinging of the hips, undoubted encouraged by the goons offstage telling her to "sex it up a bit" and she carries through with the uncharacteristic "and that's just one side of me" embarrassing hip-swivel.
The big picture is that she'll get some time in the limelight and she'll sell a few albums. It's a nice story, but again, just more media manipulation.
