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.

susan is going to go very far. don't judge a book by it's cover!!

Susan Boyle as a 22 year old is ok. If she entered Britain's Got Talent with the same song now..I dont think she could have made it. I think she is overrated sometimes. There is a hype going on about her right now and I hope it lasts. I love Susan but sometimes the world seems to need someone like her to prove that you don't need to be beautiful and have extraordinary talent to be famous. I wish her all the best.

What my English grandmother would have called "an unfound pearl." She's lovely and a beauty as well as a perfect lady..

95. Carlos -
ottimo cantante, spero di andare molto lontano. CARLOS CHIESSA.

96. DJ P -
So when do actually get to see Susan Boyle when she was younger? I think she is a stunning singer and want to know if she is going to do any recording.Or anything on the stage. I was surprised by the two pictures of her side by side after she'd had a slight makeover, couldn't believe it was the same woman!

97. Yahoo! Music User -
She looks more like a Russian drag queen, with those fricking eyebrows!

98. Yahoo! Music User -
Too bad you can hardly hear her over the groovy electronic keyboard.

99. gary -
What is it with us humans? We took God's greatest gift and made rubbish of it. He gave us sight to see the beauty in all things and we abuse it. Close them and use your ears to hear the beauty you cannot see. Susan is beautiful, now is'nt she?

100. Mario -
blew me away when i heard her sing. so shes not all that, so what!
