I will never be awesome enough for Britain
April 15th, 2009 | by TJ |Oh, Internet. This is becoming somewhat of a yearly habit now.
Two years ago, I went absolutely nuts for Paul Potts. Dude blew me away.
Of course, the bummer about Paul Potts winning that year was the little George Sampson didn’t end up making it to the live shows at all.
But then, a year later, I was going head over heels for George Sampson again.
Still blows me away, every time. And he’s so damn cute I feel vaguely uncomfortably pervy watching it.
In keeping with tradition, Internet, I bring you what I am sure to be blathering on about in just a month or so again, Susan Boyle. I can’t find a single embeddable version of the video anywhere, but you can click, right?
I swear, if I showed up in England, they’d turn me away at the border for being all around too dull and untalented.
PS – I had to edit to add this. Just like Bubbles from a couple of years ago effing SLAYS me, I couldn’t leave this post without this addition.
OH SWEET JESUS I CAN’T BREATHE.

I’ve watched that video several times since Sunday, and her voice still gives me goosebumps. I love that song, and I love listening to her sing it!

She’s amazing, all right. And she’s getting famous in a hurry. This is the third time I’ve heard about it in two days, following a story on NPR and an e-mail someone sent me.
Well-deserved.

Funny story… I saw this video this morning and thought of your past posts from the show and had a feeling you’d be linking it soon.

according to the papers here in blighty she was actualy brain damaged at birth and has had a bit of a difficult life caring for her parents. the only thing shes ever had going for her is that voice.

Susan Boyle may not be a very good looking woman but she has an angelic voice. .
