    This is stunning Saz. I did not know the song,cannot believe it was a Stones number...did Mick sing it like this?

    So crystalline clear, such emotion hidden in that body. I cannot wait for the CD. She is a phenomenom.

    OMG!!! Hey, I never use that little OMG thing, but here it's so appropriate. I just sat here on my couch with shivers running up and down my back listening to this. I can't wait to get her CD.

    Dear Moannie, Mick did not sing it that way, though I do remember that it was rather tender and lovely even for the Stones.

    Susan doesn't just have a lovely voice that can nail one song. She just breathed new life into this one. It makes me cry, what the human heart can achieve.

    Her new hairdo is pretty cute, too. I hope life is good to her.

    That is pretty amazing. It's the first time I've listened to her. I managed to avoid the previous media hype. It is pretty wow though. I hope she can cope with the pressure of stardom.

    They've done a pretty good job on her image too, that first pic is stunning.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Her voice is out of this world. Such perfect notes and a warm sound. She is looking pretty good these days too. I just hope she is able to cope with the media.

    I didn't play the video because I'm out West and the show hasn't played yet and I want to hear her sing over The Husband's sound system. Isn't she looking terrific? This is the first time I've seen her since that famous clip. I'm so excited for her.

    She seems to have simply wowed America's got Talent, it's all over the news this morning. I have always loved this song, but she has taken it to a new level, hasn't she?

    I think it was a Gram Parsons song that Mick nicked, to say the least...

    I think Susan looks wonderful in her black pleated dress - I wish I were as elegant... I hope she can find happiness and health in such a difficult career. I hope you are well, my Sazzy, and I loved yesterday's post about the tummy roll too - Fabulous!

    Hope the DD is feeling better and that you might be recovering yourself from the wet flannel mopping-duties - Have a sazfab weekend, love and light Your Fhi x

    Gosh! I thought her new album was going to be some bland re-working of songs from the musicals but that was amazing. Truly amazing! She looks great too. I just hope she has the help and support she needs to carry on with what's set to a be a fabulous career

    Please don't hate me but I'm not that crazy about her voice - it is the vibrato that I don't like. I also don't like the arrangement of the song.

  21. Sass8:05 pm, September 18, 2009

    I love it. She sounds very fresh and young.

    Of course, this is exactly what my internal singing voice is like.

    Which must be why Peaches regularly asks me to sing 'Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick sick'.

    I hope she copes with all this. I can't help thinking that she looks a bit uncomfortable in the photos.

    What an inspiration Susan is to all of us. To walk out on stage and take a world by storm and make it look easy.

    Her transformation from someone unnoticed to where she is now - and her entire look - see? Miracles do happen.

    I'm delighted for her and yes - may she survive in the world of entertainment.

    Yes, she does have an amazing voice, and yes, she does look fabulous, but...I have never understood why people found it so very difficult to believe that Susan Boyle's voice did not match her appearance. Where is it written that a "Plain Jane" cannot have the voice of an angel? Why do assume that only the young and beautiful can do justice to musical prose?
    Maybe Susan Boyle will open the world's eyes to those talented individuals whose physical attributes do not match our media and industry enhanced concept of perfection.

Loneliness...

is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while. Remaining hidden amongst the layers of feelings and experiences we call life. Whilst walking alone through the streets of London, it lurked. Unacknowledged. Invisible. Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
