Mary, I was so touched by this woman as I watched her on Tv this moring and several times I have watched the YouTube. Thank you for sharing with others. Now this is really a wonderful story for each of us.

I think everyone who sees this is a bit overwhelmed. I had a lump the size of an apple in my throat as I watched this. I' so pleased I got to hear it. I'm so glad she got to do it.

What an amazing story. I got tears in my eyes as I watched her wonderful performance. Truly inspirational. I'm going to watch it again.

And, if you have time, you must read this spot-on story that was in The Herald, "The Beauty That Matters is Always on the Inside."

I had heard about this woman wowing the judges, but hadn't seen it. Thanks so much for posting it, what a story.. what a voice!

I cant get over her voice. It is so smooth and beautiful. I saw this earlier this week when my Mom told me about it. I would love to see a person like her make it big, BIG. I am so sick of cookie cutter, beautiful, perfect bodied girls making it big. Most of them dont even have a great singing voice, its just studio produced. Ah can you see I have a beef here. Ugh. I love that this cooky woman has such a beautiful voice!

She is really amazing to think she was being sneered at by the audience and I'd say Simon Cowell thought he'd have a great laugh, but boy did they get a land! It is a real triumph of substance over style, in my book. She has an amazing voice and a really nice simple honest personality to boot. Hope she doesn't get madeover by the vultures in reality tv land. Worth watching some other clips of artists from that same programme on YouTube.
Thanks for sharing, Catherine
