Thread Name: A Most Heartwarming Performance-Susan Boyle
Subject: RE: A Most Heartwarming Performance-Susan Boyle
Maggie, now that you mention Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand, when I was listening to Susan Boyle singing Cry Me A River, her voice and phrasing kept reminding me alternately of the two of them. She sounds sort of like the proverbial "love child of" Judy and Barbra - which wouldn't be bad parentage, even metphorically, for a singer. (Maybe her phrasing's a little more Ella, though, and that's another plus.)

She's wonderful.
