Internet Sensation Susan Boyle Returns To Britain's Got Talent - and UNDERWHELMS!

Filed under: Susan Boyle

Finally!

After weeks and weeks of auditions, global phenom Susan Boyle was once again competing on the stage of Britain's Got Talent.

Yes, she's got a new makeover. Yes, she just made it through to the finals. But, unfortunately, her performance was too measured and lackluster. It lacked passion and that spark that made her a viral superstar in the first place.

That's what we think, at least.

What do U think????

CLICK HERE to watch SuBo perform Memory from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats.

Thoughts????

    Re: ihatebella – lol, yeah totally loolah… but in a nice quirky way i think :)



  3. 103

    where are the judges comments ?



  4. 104

    DUDE This lady rocked and she was amazing. It is sad that now you are trying to bring her down.



  5. 105

    Perez, you got this one wrong. She has a 3 octave range. Aretha, Babs, and Whitney are the only others I know of. She is a mature voice that reminds me of Sarah Brighton, from Andrew Lloyd Weber's ditties.



  6. 106

    I think you're full of crap and horribly jealous.



  7. 107

    Re: vix1057 – #86 WHY ISN'T SHE ON THE SLIMFAST DIET?



  8. 108

    She was nervous and started out weak but finished strong



  9. 109

    Re: GoBritneyBitch – fuck off.the one who should jump of the bridge is shitney,thats the worst artist ever and the less professional ever.fuck off



  10. 110

    i never liked her voice anyway. very blah. cthat voice coming from a 20 year old , they may not have even put her through. i LOVE shaheen.



  11. 111

    she makes me chicken skin!!! amazing!!!



  12. 112

    Listened to SoBo's second performance on BGT and she SUCKED!!! Why on earth were those three judges telling her otherwise??? Guess they want to get on her money wagon. She was more than "PITCHY" she was GOD AWFUL!! Buh-bye Susan — enjoy your Spinster life!!



  13. 113

    Re: GoBritneyBitch
    I agree he is a SPIC, a Spanish Person in Control. STFU You racist whore.



  14. 114

    PS At least BGT got SoBo to wax her eyebrows — and, that is the most magical part of the program!! ;-)



  15. 115

    She had trouble with the low notes, but she can belt out the high notes. Also….look closely at her beautiful face. You have to look past the chubbiness and the bad hair, but she is beautiful. And she hasn't been touched by a surgeon's knife or a dematologist's needle. Those cheekbones and the piquant face……Love her.



  16. 116

    Re: YOVANNI – y.i agree.the media try to bring down everybody who is powerfull.this lady is powerfull,she will continue her dream



  17. 117

    oh wow, an old woman who had many singing lessons in the past and had many years time for practicing can actually sing.
    Oh my god what a sensation. I think i just got a heart attack. so exciting. urgh.

    Do some people really believe she never discovered her singing talent before?



  18. 118

    Re: GoBritneyBitch – shut up



  19. 119

    she was good the first time around, now she's just boring



  20. 120

    She was great!! Go SB!!



  21. 121

    she still better than gagasshole



  22. 122

    I prefer Bawbwa singin this one..
    Nobody sings "Memories" like Bawbwa..
    Snd SoBo never was any good to begin anyway.
    Her 15 minutes of fame are starting to run out..



  23. 123

    Eff off Perez!! She struggled with her breathing at first but she's singing in front of millions of people for crying out loud!!! She was just as good as her first audition, it just sounded different because it was in a studio and there was more production involved. Piss of criticising her, she's fucking amazing and better than any of the shit that comes out of America.



  24. 124

    She misses the warmth that Elaine page and Bawbwa put into the song..
    Kudos for trying tho..



  25. 125

    She's quite pitchy



  26. 126

    I think she sounded great, although I agree she seemed a bit nervous at first.



  27. 127

    she use botox



  28. 128

    That song, being so well known, makes it easy to spot anything off with the pitch or the notes. Because of that, itt probably wasn't the best song choice, but I think she performed it beautifully.



  29. 129

    What did the judges say? They gave a standing o at the end, so it'd be nice to see/hear what they had to say.



  30. 130

    yes, she did hit a couple of off-notes, but it must be so stressful singing before so many people. I STILL say, she absolutely has the voice of an angel. nothing's going to change that. I would love to see her sing a different type of music though, to see what she does with that. Do they have to?



  31. 131

    I think you would also have a pretty hard time trying to sing if you had to live up to all the pressure the world has put on you!
    Usually don't have a problem with you opinions, some are spot on, but today you are out of line.

  32. CHA says – reply to this


    132

    She was nervous…….keep the next song for the final……..they did just that to keep her interesting…….didn't you realize that Perez……underwhelms……..???????????????



  33. 133

    She is living proof that beautiful things can come from unexpected places.



  34. 134

    Re: GoBritneyBitch – She could beat Christina Aguilera!



  35. 135

    Dear Susan:
    I heard you say in an interview that you wanted to show that you are not worthless…. Well, you have. You have inspired, touched, entertained, so many of us. You have taught us lessons about determination, humility and gifts that each of us are given, no matter where we come from, what we look like. Thank you.
    I think you did well tonight even though you were nervous and a little jumpy at first. The second half of your song was your beautiful, powerful voice…again.
    Thank you so much for having the courage to keep on showing us what you can do - for sharing your lovely voice - for making us laugh, cry and maybe regain some faith in ourselves.

    namaste ~ and good luck in the finals!!!



  36. 136

    I feel like someone who claims to know musical theatre as much as you do would know that the song title from one of the most iconic musical of all time is "Memory" not "Memories" ….dumbass



  37. 137

    oh she was nervous, and just look at her face!!! bless!!



  38. 138

    she was a little nervous at the beginning but what a finish! i think she has an amazing voice and cant wait to see and hear more from her! keep up the good work Susan and keep singing i hope you win so you can sing for the queen!



  39. 139

    Underwhelms??? What in the world could that woman do to live up to the sensation of her first performance?? Geez cut her a break. I can't think of any other performance by anyone that was this anticipated or this looked forward to. All in all I think she did really good job, especially once she calmed down a bit.

    Can Perez EVER and I mean EVER not get rude and snarky about someone??? I used to love this site, but now it's more mean than Simon Cowell ever was. BORING!!!!! If I see vile sexual art coming out of Susan I'll be cured of here for good. Is it SO hard to actually be happy for this woman living beyond her widest dream and us watching the joy of it??!!!



  40. 140

    what the hell are you talking about mario.. you ass hole is was great



  41. 141

    THE FAT TWELVE YEAR OLDS ON THIS SITE CAN ALWAYS TALKE THEIR CRAP. THE TRUTH IS, SUSAN BOYLE WAS GREAT AGAIN. PEREZ, AS A FLAMBOYANT GAY, WANTED SOMETHING HUGE AND CAMPY AND HE DID NOT GET IT. THAT DOES NOT MEAN BOYLE WAS A JOY ONCE AGAIN.



  42. 142

    NOT impressed. maybe because i love the original version



  43. 143

    She did GREAT. She sounds exactly like someone should on a talent show. It was a great song and she sung it well. American Idol take note! It's how they need to get back on track!



  44. 144

    she is f*cking great !!



  45. 145

    YOU always express any straight female underwhelms. I am waiting for your HATE to come out towards her. If anyone in the news is straight then Perez-Mario will try to destroy that person. You, Perez-Mario, are too stupid too notice your hate boosts their careers. Anyone Perez-Mario supports usually gets hurt BECAUSE Perez-Mario blogged and worshiped them so much and Perez-Mario attacked their competition so much the public turned against the very person because they are sick of Perez-Mario. SUSAN SHOULD WIN NOW AS PEREZ HATES HER.



  46. 146

    I think people have unrealistic expectations from Susan Boyle because she has become such an internet phenom.. She is not a professional singer but rather, is someone who is trying to win a contest along with 39 other semi-finalists. You have to put her back into perspective and take her down from the pedestal the world has put her on. I think she is still good and still has a good chance of winning this show.



  47. 147

    Umm. She's alright……. not amazing.



  48. 148

    Perez, you're an idiot. She sounded amazing and has a beautiful voice. She didn't underwhelm. They gave her a standing ovation. Stick to what you know. Nothing much.



  49. 149

    I like her. She seems nervous at times, especially the first 3 seconds. Not surprising given the huge expectations. I'm glad she's getting through to the finals.



  50. 150

    We did Cats for my senior musical, and playing Grizzabella myself, I'm gonna go ahead and say that I did a much better rendition of this song :)



  51. 151

    OMG Perez did you even watch the whole thing?!!! She was AMAZING!! Even Simon gave her a standing ovation!



  52. 152

    I dont see nothing special in this woman..I cant stand her either….



  53. 153

    The begaining was kinda shaky. She did a good job tho. I dont think its as good as her first performance tho.



  54. 154

    Re: hysteric.emma – She apparently IS that big, three judges gave her a standing ovation and she was AMAZING! Clearly she was NOT lip Syncing…messed up a few times, but when she hit it she hit it great! She's awesome and I hope she wins! It's great when the underdog wins! She has a beautiful voice! If she recorded a song, it would have every flaw erased!!!!! Amazing!



  55. 155

    CURIOUS!!! Cause every other media is reporting that it was an awesome and moving performance… hating on her Perez?



  56. 156

    Perez, I think she did an amazing job. You probably think she didn't do as good because her first song was beyond good especially since noone expected it to be good.



  57. 157

    Re: GoBritneyBitch – Go do your homework. And tell mommy and daddy to put some parental controls on the computer.



  58. 158

    The only reason why she was so amazing the first time was because there was such a shock.
    but now that everybody is expecting it, its not that special anymore.



  59. 159

    She did okay towards the end, but was far too nervous at the start. Hopefully she'll be better in the finale.



  60. 160

    She didn't underwhelm.
    WE just expected a performance to beat the last one.



  61. 161

    Wrong song for her.



  62. 162

    i think you are a mean asshole.



  63. 163

    She's got a good voice. I wouldn't say she underwhelmed. You try singing. Oh yeah you oinked that retarded "Clap" song and it was horrible….



  64. 164

    Re: DICKBREATH – HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!



  65. 165

    for still being a nonprofessional it blows me away. she's normal she's going to flub a few notes here or there. she'll get better as it continues!



  66. 166

    Stress, nerves, and fatigue were infused in her performance. These factors impacted the quality, but not her determination. She did recover and gave the middle and end of her song the punch it needed. The voters had faith in her, and so do I.



  67. 167

    so below average.
    and i could do without the
    madonna god-like halo lightshow
    behind her head at the end!



  68. 168

    I think she was very nervous. But mostly, I think she's probably under a LOT of pressure to be perfect due to the response to her first showing.



  69. 169

    I think its sad,
    The moment someone starts to get successful (especially someone who might not look like a clone of every other popular singer out there) people's claws come out and they get bitchy.
    Its just jealousy that people are trying to bring her down now, she doesn't fit your standards of what is 'acceptable' looks so she doesn't deserve to be successful. Its pathetic. People should get a life.



  70. 170

    well she had a bad start, just nerves I think. but once she relaxed she had no problems at all. mabey just works a bit on dynamics, but it was good and show cased her voice



  71. 171

    Re: GoBritneyBitch

    We get it, fuck-face! You're ignorant. Now, go back to eating your bag of Doritos and sitting in your room wondering why God hates you so much.



  72. 172

    MEMO TO UGLY FAT COW: Please go away. You are tiresome and can't sing all that well. TIA.



  73. 173

    SHE STILL GAVE ME THE SHIVERS!

    AND IT WAS GOOD SINCE SIMON

    STOOD UP! =]



  74. 174

    She's an AMATEUR, like so many before her, and she deserves a break here ! You grow up poor in Europe, in a slummy area, and see what it's like — I don't want to know. I like her — she's "Odd", yes, in that European small village way — and her cat's named 'PEBBLES' ! I like that !



  75. 175

    Id have to agree with you perez!
    her first performance was good. because it was unexpected…
    but their was too much hype about her, and i think shes just average. I have heard better people sing that better



  76. 176

    really bad song choice.



  77. 177

    I think she did grrrrrrreat!!!



  78. 178

    what are you talking about- it was very good!



  79. 179

    That was so lovely! Perez, she did great.



  80. 180

    She did great. I'm sure most people would kill to have a voice like hers.



  81. 181

    fuck u. you judgmental gayboy



  82. 182

    what ever it does not stop her from being dumb ugly.



  83. 183

    I thought it was fabulous.

  84. geno says – reply to this


    184

    I think you are judging her too harshly this is a woman who came from complete obscurity and made a name for herself without the help of studio enhancements. Cough Cough wont mention any names Gaga. Give her the benefit of the doubt before you throw her under the bus. I usually agree with you Perez about the other celebutards, but this plain old fashioned woman needs some time to hone in on her new found celebrity before we roll her over. Listen Cher sounds like a computer game now when you listen to her after studio enhancement. Susan keep on keeping on!



  85. 185

    SuBo rocks, she should definitely win. She didn't 'underwhelm' as you say - she did great!



  86. 186

    A case of nerves, that's all…but she really hit it from the middle to the end. Go Susan!!!!



  87. 187

    Ugh… I couldn't even stomach the whole thing. A weaker, screechier sound than her startlingly good debut. Sore throat maybe? Stick up her butt? Disappointment much?

  88. NIZ says – reply to this


    188

    I still think she wonderful, obviously nervous at the start, she knew what people were expecting so that alone would make anyone crack! However she got better as she warmed her voice up, would have liked to hear some of those power notes but still good. This got me hyped for Cats which I'm going to see in a couple of weeks!



  89. 189

    she was still amazing



  90. 190

    I think Perez is on crack.
    She sounded great.



  91. 191

    Well, I thought she sounded terrific!!!

    Mario, you are a no talent loser/uninformed blogger! What would you know??????



  92. 192

    Are you kidding? Her voice is AMAZING, as was her performance. Just b/c she's not ugly or bizarre looking when she walks out there w/ people expecting a disaster doesn't mean she wasn't great. The 1st time is unrepeatable; not b/c she's not just as good if not better, but b/c this time there's no surprise at how amazing a singer she is. Duh!



  93. 193

    But, she is better looking than Ann Coulter.



  94. 194

    I THINK HER NERVES ARE GETTING TO HER NOW. SHE STILL SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL BUT SHE WILL NEED TO OVERCOME THE JITTERS.



  95. 195

    Re: jonbon – i 100% agree with you sister…………



  96. 196

    OMG that's a make over? she needs some American make up artists the Britts clearly don't understand that a make over is supposed to make u look BETTER!!



  97. 197

    Poor girl is stressed and nervous. I think she did well overall. Even if she doesn't win, she now has a career in musical theater.



  98. 198

    she looks great! singing was pretty good!



  99. 199

    Susan was obviously nervous in the beginning.

    She isn't a professional, yet!

    She hit it out of the park after that!



  100. 200

    Beautiful!
