Susan Boyle Fandom

At long last, another song by 47-year-old Susan Boyle has been uncovered!

Okay, maybe it isn’t “at long last” since she only came to international attention a few days ago, but it is nice to finally have a new song from her!  The Daily Record located a copy of a charity CD that was released in 1999, and only a thousand copies are known to exist. On it, Susan Boyle sings “Cry Me A River”, and let me tell you, not only does she nail another song, but her style is totally different than it was on “I Dreamed A Dream“. Where that performance sounded like any Broadway singer, this one sounds like she would be right at home in some hazy jazz club in a basement space in New York City.

It’s interesting that while she is a powerful singer, you have to wonder if anyone would have taken note of her if not for her physical appearance and personal history.  There is no question she is talented, but without those other aspects, would people be rallying around her like this?  Honestly, who cares, she is just a joy to listen to, and I don’t care what she looks like!

We have included two different copies of the song on the off chance either one of them gets pulled over copyright concerns.

The second copy is from a website in Japan.
