Susan Boyle: "I Wouldn't Want To Change Myself Too Much"

According to a recent CNN article, singing sensation "'Susan Boyle, 47, has said she's still the same humble girl next door despite her knockout singing on "Britain's Got Talent.'"

Susan Boyle also said: "'I wouldn't want to change myself too much because that would really make things a bit false,' she told CNN's 'American Morning' on Friday. 'I want to receive people as the real me, a real person.'"

"'A clip of Boyle's performance on the talent show had more than 15 million views on YouTube by Friday, and the world's media have beaten a path to her door in Blackburn, Scotland.'"

"'During an earlier interview with CNN's Atika Shubert, Boyle expressed amazement at people's reaction to her -- 'the way everyone seems to have embraced me, the way they seem to have apparently fallen in love with me,'" she said.

Susan Boyle and Her Fans Are All "Gobsmacked"

Susan Boyle said, after her triumphant performance Saturday, April 11, on Britain's Got Talent, that she is "absolutely gobsmacked." 1

Now there's a new word for you and for me also! What does the word gobsmacked mean exactly?

According to an article by Richard Nordquist, "'The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (2006) defines 'gobsmacked' as 'being speechless or lost for words as the result of amazement or shock."' Similarly, Sara Tulloch, author of The Oxford Dictionary of New Words (1991), offers the definition 'astounded, flabbergasted; speechless or incoherent with amazement; overawed.'"

Gobsmacked is "a combination of gob, mouth, and smacked. It means 'utterly astonished, astounded.'" 2

Susan Boyle FanSite Grows to 9,319 Members, Conservative Blogger Joins

I am so inspired by the gifted singer Susan Boyle, a recent contestant on Britain's Got Talent television show, that I decided to join her official fan club today. When I wrote about the Susan Boyle FanSite (the slogan there is 'Never judge a book by it's cover') yesterday, there were 6,804 members.

Today, including my new membership, the list has grown to 9,319 members at this very moment. I might add that a short time ago, the membership count was 9,281, so the list is continually growing.

Susan Boyle, Unemployed and 47, Astounds Britain's Got Talent Judges

Susan Boyle, a 47 year old unemployed contestant on Britain's Got Talent television show, recently forced a panel of judges, including the critical Simon Cowell, to admit that a great voice doesn't only come out of the mouths of young babes.

Susan Boyle indeed has an incredibly beautiful voice. Watch the YouTube video of Susan Boyle singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical Les Miserables and see for yourself.
