I hold in my hand one of the greatest albums of the decade. Forget Coldplay or Arctic Monkeys, when people look back on the naugties they’ll be pulling out Susan Boyle and laughing in our faces. Who would have thought it that as we head into 2010 that one of the biggest releases would have been some random contestant from Britain’s Got Talent? And what a talent. And what timing. This is going to make an absolute packet for Mr.Cowell. All in all, an amazing piece of marketing.
That’s part of what makes her amazing! The fact that NO ONE thought she would be! It’s great to see someone OTHER than the blonde hair, blue eyes wanna-be pop singer! Ican’t wait to listen to her album!
In the meantime, they’re airing a special on her this Sunday at 8/7c on TV Guide. Here’s a quick news video of her on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=893pm89mRmk&feature=related
