I saw her performance on British tv for the first time on Sunday...after eating a nice Easter supper...I was so moved I wept. My daughters came over to watch it, and to see why mom was having a melt down. They stood silently behind me, and I could tell they were struggling not to cry, too.
She has us crying rivers, don' she?

A bit of trivia: Julie London's first husband was the great Jack Webb.

Comic Sans! OH NOZ!!!11!!!

Wonderful! and, yes, so honest and real. Just the reason that America's Got Talent is the only "reality" show I have ever watched. For some reason the image of Kate Smith comes to mind. I don't know much about her really, but she was built to be a "radio" personality for sure. Now everybody has to look like Ken and Barbie just to get a chance.
Q, How much honesty, brilliance and real talent are we protected from by the eye-rolling impresarios (and human resource geeks, for taht matter) of the world?

I'm still partial to this version.

I don't care for the Blues. But one doesn't have to like the genre to know one is hearing a world-class performance by Susan Boyle there. Julie London certainly does suffer in the comparison.

I've always loved the power treatment given by Joe Cocker (arrangement by Leon Russel) on "Mad Dogs and Englishmen"

Oh man, they're both great. Both different, but both great.

The Pope on his visit to Glasgow can look forward to being sung at by Susan Boyle, without Divine Intervention, which he might be praying for :-)
