I didn't judge her from the beginning, either. My wife showed it to me because she lives on the internet. When she asked me about Susan Boyle, I was clueless, and she was like "OMGzorzzzz, you have to see this! Watch." And she played it.
When I saw the beginning of the clip, talking about her living with cats and never been kissed and singing karaoke, I thought to myself "None of this has to do with singing. How does she sing?"
Then when she sang, my jaw dropped. THAT... is an amazing voice. The reason it's amazing is not because it's a surprise coming from an unlikely source; it's an amazing voice simply because of the sound.
Props to her.
No props to you for trying to sound like you weren't amazed because you didn't pre-judge. All you've accomplished is that you've let everyone know that you don't know a solid singing voice when you hear one.

Just so we're clear: First of all I said MAYBE it's because I didn't prejudge. Regardless of the reason, I just wasn't amazed.Secondly, nothing I say or do will ever be because I'm looking for props from you, or anyone for that matter (but definitely not you). I didn't thinkit was great because I didn't think it was great, period. It was a good performance. I wasn't floored.Too bad if that offends you. I added the prejudgment part because that is what the segment was ALL about. Why else would the hosts turn to the camera and say"I bet you weren't expecting that"? So you can ride the wave of hype like everyone else and stare in awewhen you hear her voice. I'll just simply enjoy it and move on. I don't know a solid voice? That's exactly what her voice was: solid. Notawe-inspiring. I'm sorry that I was able to keep control of my bowels during the performance. But like all hype, this will fade away and she'll beforgotten in a few months or so.Originally Posted by 23ska909red02

No props to you for trying to sound like you weren't amazed because you didnt pre-judge. All you've accomplished is that you've let everyone know that you dn't know a solid singing voice when you hear one.
I'll bet you $1000 that you'll be wrong about this. In a few months, she might be on Oprah singing her 1st single. There'shype and there's 20 million hits (and 1900+ related articles on Google news) and counting hype. She's thetruth. And the truth is that people love her, her story, whatever. Whether it's because people pre-judged her ornot, that still remains the case. Just saying, you're wrong.Originally Posted by TraSoul82

I guess that offended you to the point where you felt insulted, and couldn't leave the conversation without retaliation, so you felt the need to make sure to throw an insult in return. And your return was 'Definitely not from you.' Awesome. I guess.Now we're all clear; you're not seeking any props from anyone, and definitely not from me. I don't think there was any confusion on that one, but apparently you did and you wanted to clear that right up. Cool.
#2. Too bad if it offends me that you didn't think it was great, that you weren't floored? I... wasn't offended to begin with.
#3. How am I riding a wave of hype when I had literally never heard the name and never seen the clip and never heard any of the hypebeast stuff before hearing the clip the first time? All I heard was my wife telling me I had to see it, and then I watched it. Didn't read any of the youtube comments. Didn't hear about this crazy cat lady on the news. Nothing. I heard nothing of here, then I watched her, and I was impressed.
#4. I did exactly what you did, apparently: form the opinion that the voice was solid, then move on, feeling like she'll be forgotten in a short amount of time. Looks like we're in agreement on this one (not that you would be searching to be in agreement with anyone, and definitely not with me).

My bad. I didn't know people were speaking about me in the thread. I was simply giving my reply to what you said... to me. I didn't knowpeople had already said what my reply would be. I didn't know people had already pointed out that my wife showed me the clip with me having no priorknowledge of it or of Boyle or even the show Britain's Got Talent. I didn't know people had already pointed out that you and I think that she'sjust another passing fad. I mean, that's awesome that people had already said that, but I didn't know.Originally Posted by TraSoul82

TraSoul82:
And TBONE, I plead guilty to the charge of being cynical. I have no need to deny that.
Marking the second commonality we apparently share. Offline, my friends criticize me all the time for being too cynical.
I Dreamed a Dream
There was a time when men were kind,
And their voices were soft,
And their words inviting.
There was a time when love was blind,
And the world was a song,
And the song was exciting.
There was a time when it all went wrong...
I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high and life, worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die,
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid,
And dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine, untasted.
But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your hope apart,
And they turn your dream to shame.
He slept a summer by my side,
He filled my days with endless wonder...
He took my childhood in his stride,
But he was gone when autumn came!
And still I dream he'll come to me,
That we will live the years together,
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms we cannot weather!
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed...
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...
