Susan Boyle As You Have Never Seen Her Before

Posted Fri May 1, 2009 1:24pm PDT by Andy Pemberton in Musictoob

Susan Boyle could have been discovered 25 years ago when she performed on video at a local talent show.

Video has emerged of Susan Boyle singing back when she was a comely 22-year-old.

The tape was unearthed by Gerry McGuinness, 61, who was in the audience that night at Motherwell Football Club's social club in Scotland.

"She was so shy, but she was also very attractive back then--she turned a few heads when she came in. She didn't win the contest, though," he said.

"I didn't recognize Susan as the girl on my video when I first saw her on Britain's Got Talent until a relative called and asked me if I still had the tape.

"It's great she is finally getting some recognition."


Missed Opportunity: JOAN COLLINS REFUSES TO KISS LILY ALLEN

Seventy-one-year-old acting legend Joan Collins refused to kiss Lily Allen when the pair met at a party to celebrate to 100 years of London store Selfridges.

Lily Allen was left hanging as Collins declined a showbiz air kiss with the 22-year-old singer. Allen pretended to be unruffled by the experience, but then posted a tweet about her humiliation shortly afterwards.

"Omg, was just introduced to Joan Collins, shook her hand and went to kiss her on the cheek. 'I don't kiss people I don't know.' AMAZING!" she wrote.

Hey, Lily never heard of swine flu. You can't be too careful.

 

Missed opportunity: OASIS ARE TOO TERRIFIED OF SWINE FLU TO LEAVE THEIR VENEZUELAN HOTEL ROOM

Oasis stayed locked in their hotel rooms after performing in Caracas, Venezuela, terrified of contracting swine flu.

Or, at least, their management were. Singer Liam Gallagher was indifferent to the threat of the killer bug. He spent his time posting Tweets mocking his management's caution.

"In Caracas, top gig, sat in me room in silence as my TV doesn't work, not allowed to leave the hotel for fear of being tickled to death," he wrote.

He also took the opportunity to take a swipe at his brother Noel who recently said the band would not record another record for five years because Liam was so unpleasant to deal with.

"It won't be a five-year break if I've got anything to do with it," said Liam menacingly.

The swine flu is the latest paranoi sweeping the nation. Honestly, how that could be news over Korea's nuclear threats and a possible impending attack from the Taliban is beyond me.

And no, I am not completely off topic as the swine flue is mentioned here.

Sometimes we have to wait a lifetime for a dream to come true. This is what happens when dreams are never abandoned, when hope is forever nourished, and perseverence continues to endure. Wow!!!

This must be a counterfeit Boyle - voice is not there and she could not have lost all the face weight so quickly.

15. Yahoo! Music User -
It just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover.
