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.

I DO NOT think that Boyle is any better looking in this old performance than she is today-she just looks YOUNGER, that's all. I can tell you for a fact that a woman who looked like she did in this old video WOULD NOT turn any heads here in California-at least not because anyone thought she was attractive. HOWEVER, I do think that her voice has vastly IMPROVED since this old performance. I can easily understand why she didn't win that contest.

D33PPURPLE, 1918 over 50 million people worldwide died of a strain of this very flu... it's much bigger news than a possible Taliban attack on Pakistan where they have been fighting for hundreds of years in tribal disputes and North Korea's "nuclear threat" that has been ongoing for a decade now and still no real global threat or at least not the magnitude of a flu pandemic. With that said, I think it's more hype than anything else. On to the stories, Susan is a fabulous singer and I can't wait until her time in the lime light is over and a label somewhere can get her back to being Susan, the beautiful voice and personality she is and not the super star the media is making her out to be.

Awesome voice even back then. Still hoping she wins she deserves it with her talent.

47. SierraC -

48. Yahoo! Music User -
coolio

49. SAF Prods -
she was turning heads? oh come on...

50. BayL -
Talent comes in many packages, don't be so superficial!

51. Taylor -
She needs a make-over. She's not "ugly." She needs a new hair cut. And a new style. And some make-up wouldn't hurt. A lot of work, yes, but worth it, hopefully.

52. Nick -
she's not ugly at all...not now and she wasn't then.

53. DeAndra -

56. Yahoo! Music User -
aw poor lily allen!!! sorry, but I just don't think susan is that good. she is talented but not THAT amazing :/

57. Theresa -
Just a shame that it has taken so long for her to be recognised, she should have entered more competitions over the years after the Fir Hill Club.I bet her Mum would have loved to have been here to listen to all the praise she is getting.
you go Susan and don't stop.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just goes to show you, looks aren't everything. People need to be a lot less shallow in this Country. We are all Americans and we are all beautiful in God the Almighty's eyes and that's all that counts in the end when you stand before HIM! Listen to the Temptations song "Beauty is only skin deep, ya, ya, ya.!

59. Walker -
Just goes to show, you can't judge a book by it's cover. Susan Boyle has a beautiful voice.
