Susan Boyle posts/videos/interviews
Ok Maddhatter some missing ones. I forgot about this – had to find the link. There’s also a local interview with Blackburn TV in the drafts somewhere. Is that what you wanted or this one? You know you don’t have to sign in to YouTube. I can see why you wouldn’t want to be traced. Anyway it’s good to see her back then – all excited and hopeful. Plus she has on those little shoes she marched across the stage with.
The video is homemade off the TV. The sound is not so hot but a transcript is provided. I enjoy hearing the word “gobsmacked”. Her words are prophetic…”going to see it through to the bitter end. But I’ll do something.”
Video and transcript provided by COCHRANES – dated April 14th.
INTERVIEWER: Here is Susan Boyle on the 5:30 show – your welcome to the programme Susan. What a time its been for you so far – on Friday you were unknown to the British nation, now you’re an internet sensation… 2.5 million people have watched that clip so far. How do you feel?
MS BOYLE: Gobsmacked, absolutely gobsmacked.
What’s it been like on the streets of Blackburn?
Everybody is wanting my autograph. I’m telling you its really surreal.
What made you go in for this, because you’re a shy person. What made you push yourself forward for this?
Basically I wanted to fulfill a wish to my mother, I wanted to do something with my life. Not only that but I think I had a bit more to offer.
What did you do with your singing previously?
Basically in the choir, I’ve been in school productions, karaoke – you name it I was on it.
And when people heard you sing karaoke – had they said youve got to go on Britain’s Got Talent or one of those shows?
Well, they did mention it once or twice, and then I said to them well I’ll have a go at it now and see how far I get.
The judges loved you, the audience loved you – were you confident when you stepped out on that stage you would get a good reaction?
I didn’t know what kind of reaction I would get - I’m being honest with you. But I just got through with it you know. You just get on with it.
Because as your performance progressed everybody started to stand up – could you actually see that past the lights? Could you see that happening?
I couldn’t have – cos I had my eyes closed half the time.
Did you get a chance to chat to the judges afterwards?
No, I didn’t no. You don’t do that anyway – it’s not professional.
So where is this going to go, Susan – are you going to wait and see what happens? How far do you think you can go with this?
Through to the bitter end. But I’ll do something - wee baby steps.
Well absolutely brilliant – we really want our viewers to get behind you. I’m sure that everyone watching just thought you were absolutely jaw dropping. Piers Morgan wasn’t that nice about Scottish talent, he said there wasn’t a lot going on – so you’ve proved him wrong. So we need the 5:30 viewers and people of Scotland to get right behind you, and make sure you go all the way. And you would like that to happen?
I would yes. Thank you very much.
Susan, we wish you the very best – you’ve got the most amazing voice and your mum would have been very proud of you. Good to see you on the programme.
Thank you very much.
