Susan Boyle on 'Strictly'.....

[janzman]

...this performer is now a professional entertainer..and was on this show to promote her new song...'Unchained Melody' THE most recorded song in history with over 500 versions...not withstanding The Righteous Brothers...Jimmy Young.. and (if only we could forget).. Robson Green and Jerome Flynn...and when she successfully hit a high note the audience went crazy shouting and cheering ..why? Do you imagine the audience at a Pavarotti concert behaving like that when he hit a high C in Nessum Dorma....no, of course not...they would show their appreciation at the end of the piece.... Take a classic song and give it to a mediocre singer and it really cannot fail can it....
SuBo should stop thinking shes still on BGT and start acting like a professional....and as for the audience on Stictly they need to differentiate between amateur and professional and behave accordingly.

[B00]

Yeah, you tell 'em.

[madmaggot]

This song is a very emotive one for me so I was looking forward to hearing it tonight; but she ruined it I'm afraid!
Not good.

[gingejbee]

Wasn't the applause for the dancers who were performing at the same time? And you can be sure that they were told to applaud by production staff/ floor manager.

[janzman]

madmaggot...This song is very emotional for many people,me included, which is why its so hugely popular..

[janzman]

I think you're probably right there gingejbee but thats my point, the audience has to be told to react and the dancers take the credit....doesnt say much for SuBo does it

[janzman]

BTW on further investigation I find the real winner is Sir Paul McCartney as he owns the rights to 'Unchained Melody'..

[cazzz1975]

lol I have to laugh, only a year ago this woman could walk on water as far as most people were concerned, I have never rated her.

"SuBo should stop thinking shes still on BGT and start acting like a professional...."

I am unclear what you mean by the above , , , , what do you want her to do or not do for that matter?

[bigbadmarty]

Remember how agonisingly patronising it was when the studio audience " spontaneiously " burst into applause after the first line of a song on Stars In Their Eyes !

"Do you imagine the audience at a Pavarotti concert behaving like that when he hit a high C in Nessum Dorma....no, of course not...they would show their appreciation at the end of the piece...."

shows how good she really is when the audience get so involved, it is better than sitting listening to some big fat bloke bellowing out some foreign drivel then when he finally finishes you clap and shout "bravo bravo old chap"

[Everhelpful]

I've still got the "Al Hibbler" Version from the 50's.

[janzman]

Steg... or (Steve and a name starting with G) from some asanine observations as to the wonders of opera I'm amazed you are aware of the accolade 'bravo bravo'with or without the 'old chap'.

[carlton23]

Sorry, but I think she murdered the song, so I switched off the TV. Big shame big Dan has left,
