I saw that....she's amazing!! Didn't you just love the look on Simon's face when she got the first few bars out?! Totally classic! Really gotta do something about the caterpillars on her forehead though.

Dear Pirate Jenny:

In the future I would very much appreciate a post like that carrying a *WARNING* label that viewing will involve the need for copious amounts of tissues.

I am unapologetically blubbering all over my poor laptop.

You have been unsuccessful in making me cry on the other threads, so you played a fast one on me, eh, P.J.???

I don't feel so bad now. I did the same thing.

wonderful voice! But I can't believe she is just one year older than me. Not to be mean but she looks even older.

The British IDOL has a different feel than the American one for sure. We don't get the channel. Who is that blonde woman judge showing everyone her armpits in the clip?

That was far and away the best solo performance that I have ever heard. I think we should follow this lady very closely. I would LOVE to see her perform in the future.

Very nice

WOW!!! She was amazing! How wonderful to get a chance at your dream at any age.
Can't imagine the fear standing there alone with all those people there to judge. Thanks for posting this!! One thing for sure...I wouldn't want to be the one to have to perform after her!

Well, this would never happen on American Idol sadly because I believe there's an upper age limit on our version (something like 30 my devotee friend has told me). What a wonderful amount of self-confidence this woman has. I am sure that she is fully aware that she has "caterpillars" on her forehead and is not the most attractive person in the competition, but her inner beauty shines out in her voice and she was the most beautiful person in that concert hall! Someone put her on Broadway! Imagine how many equally talented people are kept out of the American Idol competition based on age and appearance, which seems to play an unneccesarily large part in our version. I might actually watch American Idol if there were more moments like this. Thanks for the inspirational post!

I'm really glad people are enjoying it as much as I did!

It's a lesson, however, that there are a LOT of talented people out there. Just because people have a career doesn't mean they're necessarily more talented than many who don't. It can be a matter of luck, looks, ambition, chutzpah, timing, opportunity, all of those things, with talent somewhere in the mix and not even necessarily at the top of the list. (This is a pet peeve of mine in Lancaster, where as far as singers go, anyway, people are really impressed by LOUD.)

I don't know, but I was also distracted by her armpits!

Absolutely wonderful. She should be on Broadway!!

Just to clear things up, this was a broadcast of Britain's Got Talent. Like our America's Got Talent that was judged by David Hasselhoff, Sharon Osborne and Piers whats-his-face who also did a stint on Celebrity Apprentice. It's not supposed to be like American Idol which is a singing competition.

Yea, Im the one who mentioned AMERICAN IDOL. I thought some time after that it was Britain's version of AMERICA'S GOT TALENT, not IDOL. (big duh!) Thanks for clearing it up.

Thanks for clarifying. That would explain why she was even allowed on. American Idol is not simply a singing competition or else there would be no age requirement. It's, unfortunately, based just as much on looks and appearance as talent. Seriously, David Hasselhoff was a judge of a talent competition? Now that's funny!

How sad...I read somewhere this woman w/the amazing voice has also NEVER been kissed!!!
