Susan Boyle Has Hit The Jackpot!

 Singing sensation Susan Boyle's debut album is the best selling album on Amazon. Even before the release date of November 24, 2009! She is even out-selling Whitney Houston and the Beatles! Yet, Susan Boyle was a total unknown only a few months ago, in April. How did this incredible thing happen?

Imagine, if you will, being Susan Boyle, an unmarried middle-aged woman living alone at home with only your cat for company. Imagine knowing that you are gifted with a golden talent, a talent that is only recognized by your friends and family in the small area of Scotland where you live. You sing at church and in karaoke sessions in the village pub. You hugely enjoy it because you love to sing and make folks happy. But you've always wanted more...

You have tried again and again to pursue your dream of being a professional singer because you know deep in your heart that you have the talent to succeed. You've worked with a voice coach, Fred O'Neil. You've saved and saved until you finally had enough money to have a professional demo tape made which you sent to everyone you could think of, to record companies, to radio stations, to local and national TV companies. You've entered local and regional talent competitions and you've even won a couple of minor ones. But time is passing and now you aren't young and slender any more.

Still, you have a cozy life at home with your beloved mum and your cat, Pebbles. You and your mother watch Britain's Got Talent on the telly. Your mum keeps telling you that you should enter. Your mum really believes in you, but you think you're too old now, that it's a game only for young folks.

All your siblings are married and have families of their own. So you care for your mother until she dies at the age of 91. Now you are alone except for Pebbles.

A year or more passes and your voice coach keeps saying what your mother had said, "Susan Boyle, you've just got to enter Britain's Got Talent. Do it for your mum!" You start thinking about it. You think back to all the times in front of the telly with your mum and how she kept urging you to accept the challenge. Slowly the idea grew on you and then, you finally took the plunge and entered!

You are about to go onstage and face the judges, Piers and Amanda and the fearsome Simon. You are nervous about everything, your appearance, the judges, the huge audience. You are here doing this for your mum. You are hoping she is looking down from Heaven, watching you. There is one thing you are not nervous about: your talent. You tell the boys backstage before you go out there, "I'm going to rock that audience!"  

And you do! You sing "I Dreamed A Dream" from "Les Miserables". The judges are totally blown away. The audience is screaming and clapping. You get a standing ovation. You, Susan Boyle have done your mum proud!

Everyone is anxiously awaiting the next Susan Boyle CD with their wallets wide open! Amazon is currently carrying a CD entitled,"Susan Boyle's Wild Horses (piano) ...Cliff de Marks". Well, DON'T BUY IT! Susan Boyle's voice is NOT on this CD. The title is very misleading There is just a piano rendition of "Wild Horses" minus Susan's voice. They are just using Susan's name to sell the CD. I think this a lousy thing to do and I think Susan should instruct her lawyers to sue, just for the principle of the thing. Thank goodness for customer's reviews. I would have bought it and suffered misery by having been scammed. Come on, Susan, please hurry up and put out another CD with your beautiful voice really and truly on it! We are waiting...impatiently!
