Memories from Susan Boyle

Susan Boyle with "Memories" and Through Semi-Finals

After the disappointment from seeing Adam Lambert so not-deservedly lose American Idol 2009, I thought I would keep myself away from all these competitions for a while to let my sadden heart revived. But Susan Boyle's news caught my eyes, and my fingers followed suit shortly after.

You can catch the act at this site: Susan Boyle singing Memories in Britain's Got Talent semi-finals.

I know there have been criticisms made already about criticisms already made about Susan Boyle's performance. And I am certainly not on a witch hunt. Because how can one be when the talent is so undoubtedly there.

However I was say, and I do confess it could be my inadequate sound systems, I personally was not as impressed by this her second performance as I was by the first. Especially the first half of the rendition. And I am fully conscious that it could be that the gobsmack factor is less since we now know only too well how well she can sing. But for whatever reasons, I can only confess to lessened degree of enjoyment as compared to the first time.

In my defense, and though I freely admit it could be that I am past the gobsmack factor hence no longer so taken by surprise when she displays her remarkable audio talent, yet I do remember that almost every time I saw Adam Lambert, I could still feel my jaws drop open unbecomingly but definitely in gobsmacked awed admiration.

Have a look yourself and judge for yourself. Judging can be fun. Why just leave it to Simon Cowell to have all the fun?!
