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 don't know about being kissed, but I do know that someone almost beat her to death with an ugly stick!!

wow...she had...has such a great voice, too bad that today's world only looks at the face and not the voice

I'm ready for Susan Boyle's CD, all of them.Her voice is like nectar from the Gods and I hope she stays a ballad singer.She's built for it.
I love how these people are so critical about her appearance while they hide behind an avatar and she stands in front of millions,in person.Maturity brings wisdom and there is a great deal lacking here.Accept her for as she is.She's going to be able to buy and sell you in the near future!LOL

dude i didnt know oasis were such wusses i mean i would be nervous to leave my hotel room in a different counrty not knowing what would happen, but the sine flu you have a 1 in 3000 chance of getting it (not very accurate but still)

153. Yahoo! Music User -
If her eyebrows are that bushy... can you imagine the other parts of her body!!!

154. Heratch -
Her voice conveys all that the words she sings can not.
Thank you Susan for letting our unlimitted imagination ride on the waves of your voice. Only Angels from above can sing with such innosence to be complemented by the impression as porttrayed by Amanda Bolden's appreciative and honest face.

Shame on all of you folks. The woman has a beautiful voice, so who cares what her face looks like??? I'm nearly 70 years old, and will never ever give in to the whatever pressure of you people who think they are so young. What is beautiful is your inside voice, not the part of you that will die and decay. Shame, shame.

Isn't that the same club of Depeche Mode's "It's no Good" video?
Was Susan Boyle the support performer?

157. Yahoo! Music User -

158. pope -
good for her..

159. Stevn -
Lake KID====Hugh? Did you not comprehend that first post-I'm well aware that tape is one score + five years ago-or is it you have some obsession with weight which was mentioned not at all in my previous post?

160. Zeb -

Blessing to her & her wonderful voice!
