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 clip I have seen of her singing "Cry Me a River" years ago is much better.

Susan seemed so shy years ago. Sure she's gained wight and has grown older. Haven't most of us? I just don't think she had even begun to develop her beautiful voice back then. Yet, it was sweet and angelic. It is fantastic now! I wish I had even 1/16 of her singing voice. God blessed her with a beautiful talent.

Everyone has beauty.. those who cast stones of ugly are the real ugly ones.. Susan Boyle is REAL and her beauty is when you close your eyes and dream of a happy place and hearing her voice.. We all change as we age and life is not always kind to women.. but her voice is still the same as it was when she was a wee young lass... Oh my Bonnie lays over thee ocean..
My Bonnie lays over the sea..Bring back my bonnie to me...

GO SUSAN BOYLE and I hope she has 40 more years to share with all of us..get to that studio girl..we are all waiting for her first album.. I bet it will surpass the Beatles and Michael..

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

Kudos to you Susan! If you happen to see these nasty comments, don't be bothered by them. They obviously haven't grown up yet. Maybe jealous? I'm so glad you finally got credit for your wonderful voice.

Regarding comment 140. Get a &*#@ing life! You are so incredibly immature.

Maybe they are not afraid of the flu but to the violence in Caracas. They may not like the dictator who runs Venezuela and his gangs.

170. Stephania -
What a beautiful voice she has! I'm so happy 4 her.

171. Debbie P. -
I think the guitarist thought he was better than he really was.

172. Divine Prophecy -
Aww she was so cute!

173. A.P Yonkers N Y -
The only reason she took so long to be notice . Because the world looks at the outside of a person and true talent is found on the inside only!! and I hope she goes all the way to the top she deserves it. And may her success not cause her to become another madona and jlo ect. ect. nut jobs!
