Susan Boyle Cry Me A River (audio)

A long lost recording of Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle singing Cry Me A River has been unearthed.
Boyle, if you missed the story, has become an international sensation after footage of the 47 year old, dowdy, unemployed virgin auditioning on talent show Britain’s Got Talent made its way on to YouTube. You can watch Susan Boyle in her audition here.
The 1999 recording of Boyle singing Cry Me A River comes from a charity CD that had a run of only 1000 copies, but was discovered by the Scottish newspaper The Daily Record.
Here’s Susan Boyle singing Cry Me A River
In case the YouTube video is pulled, here’s another copy of Susan Boyle singing Cry Me A River:

Apr 16, 2009

Apr 16, 2009
Talk about a phenomenon! I can't understand why she hasn't sold millions of albums by now. All that's about to change. I wish her the best of luck!

Just simply beautiful and brings us all home to what matters in life.
Apr 16, 2009
She's amazing!
It proves that with patience, prayer, and perseverance your dreams can come true.
Remember it's not in our time, but God's time.
He rewards those who are faithful and are willing to do their part of the work.

Miss Susan Boyle is magnificent! Born with perfect pitch in a world where we hear famous performers who don't enfortless hit every note with sweet pitch, the sound of Miss Susan is captures the tones of each season in a soft evening … summer stillness, autumn breezes, winter snowfall, and hopeful spring.

Holy cow! That lady can REALLY sing the blues! That was the most moving rendition of 'Cry Me A River' that I have ever heard! I pray that God will protect Susan during the MADNESS that is about to take place in her life. It has the potential to be a HUGE blessing…or a MAJOR disaster. There are SO many predators and unscrupulous weazels out in the world, and she is SO innocent and unworldly. She's going to need protection from those who would take advantage of her. She has been BLESSED with an amazing talent, and I wish her all the happiness and success in the world. You GO, girl!

Load it up on two pages, and play one with about a 2 second delay. It sounds amazing, if she is doing background vocals.

I've not heard anything like Susan Boyle since Kate Smith. She's simply amazing!

I agree with freelearner, if the Simon was in awe of her audition…..he'll fall on the floor with Cry Me A River.

Although this is her pure, sweet voice, I would love to hear her do this again and put in a little more sultry.
Apr 17, 2009

Get a life Todd!
Apr 17, 2009
Hmmm… I don't pray and my dreams have all come true. Any takers?
Apr 17, 2009
LOL, Grant, Seanan, really? *chuckle* – Todd – I agree with your comments. Grant and Seanan, why are you bothered or rather intimidated (perhaps) by Todd's comments? This world is very diverse with world-views, perceptions, ideologies, etc – all devices we use to explain and interpret LIFE. Todd, through his own ideals expressed his opinion concerning the success of Susan. Why attack his view? Just state your own independanly and keep it moving
Or Cry a River with Susan! Wasn't that recording beautiful? *wink*
Apr 17, 2009
Sure! That's life! With prayer, many people have experienced their dreams come true. Without prayer, many people have experienced their dreams come true. We all credit (or don't credit) our success and or failures to something. To each his/her own really…just my thoughts Tombolian.
Apr 17, 2009
I'm with you, Sparky. I'm excited and worried for her at the same time. Hopefully, she has good friends who will look out for her. Meanwhile, I am immensely thankful for the privilege of hearing her sing this second song as beautifully as her audition number on Britain's Got Talent. I close my eyes to listen, and I am moved beyond words.
Apr 17, 2009
Susan Boyle is indeed proof that it's God's timing. I am so so happy for her and I hope that every dream she has comes true. Incredible!
Apr 17, 2009
susan boyle will not change… she is true
Apr 18, 2009
Why not “attack” this superstitious view? I stopped believing in God (Or any “God-like” radiating objects) at the same time I stopped believing in Santa Claus, and for the same reasons. Why can't we just appreciate this woman's talent, perseverance, and character without using her as a means to invoke the power and influence of a preposterous Bronze-Age deity, or other fictitious beings? If you want to believe in nonsense, try FSM! (FSM = Flying Spaghetti Monster) May you be touched by His Noodly Appendage! FSM has a much cooler Heaven… complete with a beer Volcano, and a stripper factory. (It was obviously concocted by horny Science PhDs) Who concocted your Christo-Fascist nonsense?
Apr 18, 2009
It cannot be God's timing, I stole the bastard's watch while he was passed out drunk. He can't get another one any time soon, because he blew all his money on the slot machines and whores. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! Besides, Susan Boyle is proof of The Flying Spaghetti Monster's timing. Once you are touched by His Noodly Appendage, you will know that.
Apr 20, 2009
God has nothing to do with here latent success. Her looks do.
Apr 20, 2009
Hmmm. You thought about that response. If we are wrong about “God's timing,” what harm is there? If we are right, and give Him the glory….so be it. If you are wrong about FSM…you will have a long time to think about it…sans beer volcano. Don't check your brains at the door, brother.
Apr 20, 2009
Do they have satire and irony on the planet you come from, or is it all new to you? (Hint… no one really believes in FSM, MamaBee!)
Apr 21, 2009
Just because you don't believe it doesn't mean it isn't true.

In an article entitled “Is There a God?” commissioned (but never published) by Illustrated magazine in 1952, Russell wrote:
“If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.”
Russell's teapot analogy is still used in the debate over religious belief. Richard Dawkins used it in his 2003 book A Devil's Chaplain,[3]
“ The reason organized religion merits outright hostility is that, unlike belief in Russell's teapot, religion is powerful, influential, tax-exempt and systematically passed on to children too young to defend themselves. Children are not compelled to spend their formative years memorizing loony books about teapots. Government-subsidized schools don't exclude children whose parents prefer the wrong shape of teapot. Teapot-believers don't stone teapot-unbelievers, teapot-apostates, teapot-heretics and teapot-blasphemers to death. Mothers don't warn their sons off marrying teapot-shiksas whose parents believe in three teapots rather than one. People who put the milk in first don't kneecap those who put the tea in first.”
From Wikipedia
All hail the Glorious Teapot! Are you a teapot-apostate? You should confess your heresy and beg forgiveness!
Apr 21, 2009
You, sir, are obviously a (Teapot) FSM heretic! And… you will suffer the consequences of your willful disobedience of the Law… disavowal of the Trvth™… of (Teapot) FSM scripture! Bow down and pray to FSM for forgiveness, or be cast into a lake of Superglue!

absolutely! first of all I am glad your dreams have all come true. You are fortunate to be using the laws of god naturally. for instance , it is done unto you as you believe. you must believe these dreams are attainable for them to express in your life. think back , first there is desire, ( invisible ) then there is visualizing ( invisible ) then there is determination ( invisible ) then there is action ( using your life energy , again invisible ) then there is the visible manifestation of your desire. and a happy, harmonious feeling inside you that allows your dreams to come true. You have free will my friend, that is your right. Life is flowing through you as it is me. You cannot claim credit for the fact that when you wish to move your arm to do a task, your arm obeys you. it still obeys you, even if you don't give credit to god. your mind is full of ideas, you cannot take credit, your heart beats, can you take the credit? ” I AM THAT I AM ” is what god said his name was. now watch– ex- I AM Joe, and I AM going to be a carpenter. all invisible. God is not what people have thought God is. Oh, it is so much fun to really learn the truth. Victory to you ! , if every constructive thing you desire.

Don't be stupid; it was not God who got her where she is but her own, human talents. You bible bashers can find a way to justify any situation.

What rambling, incoherent nonsense! Are you off your medication again, roe? If “life is flowing through you,” you should lay off the prune juice for a while, fruitcake!

GDubya – you must be the real deal cos you talk as much tripe as GWB. Your boring, obnoxious and up your own backside, which is never a good place to be when your as thick as mince. Let the lady and her god be and have some decorum. Your just making a further ass of yourself
PS I think Cry me a River is beautiful, tranquil and stunning

Where do I start? Can we draw any conclusions about the quality of your reasoning from your use of twenty first century “Newspeak,” and other obvious linguistic shortcomings? “Cos” is a word? Are you aware of something called “punctuation”? My “boring” what? A “dumbed-down” language is a necessary accommodation for a “dumbed-down” population, is it not, Michele? Were you absent on the day in the sixth or seventh grade when basic grammatical rules about the use of the forms “your.” and “you're” were discussed? “Your” is the second person singular and plural possessive pronoun. “You're,” what you meant to use, apparently, is a contraction of the second person singular and plural personal pronoun, “you,” and the verb form, “are.” There, was that so difficult? How hilarious that you think I am “making a further ass of [myself]“. I'm sure that, with enough work, even someone with your cognitive limitations can learn to express herself adequately, but then… maybe not! You are* a perfect example of the depth to which human beings can fall when they barter their freedoms for a place in line for a government teat. Suck hard, baby, it's all you are ever getting, given your near total lack of talent or initiative! Once great England (And you can't call it that, anymore!) is now The Peoples' Republic Of Andy Capp, soon to be under new management, though. Islam in a very short historical time, will upend your squalid welfare state, and establish Sharia law. You should purchase the movie “Idiocracy” from Amazon, it's all about you, Michele.
By the way, “gdubya” is reference to my initials, not a reference to George W. Bush. A rather strange conclusion, given my obvious atheism, don't you think? (Well, we already know the answer to that question, don't we? I thought the Neo-Marxist talking points identified all GWB supporters as religious fanatics.
* I avoided using a contraction here for the purpose of instruction. I hope you find my tutorial efforts useful, Michele.
