Susan Boyle

Posts Tagged ‘2010’

Susan Boyle was named as the “Scot of the Year 2010″ yesterday, after she polled a huge 95% of the vote.

The shamed politician Tommy Sheridan came second with 3% of the vote, Ewan McGregor the actor came third, Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie was fourth whilst Andy Robinson – an Englishman who coaches the Scottish Rugby team came fifth.? Susan attracted the largest ever share of the vote in the history of the ScotsCare award, with the boss of the charity, Willie Docherty, commenting: “Susan is a very deserving winner.”

The competition had faced criticism that convicted perjuror Tommy Sheridan was allowed to compete, despite facing a term in prison.

ScotsCare is a charity set up to help Scottish people in the London area and to assist elderly and homeless people.

Susan Boyle has been asked to perform in front of Prince Charles for a charity event, the Pride of Britain show, due to take place on November 10th. The event will be shown on ITV at 8:00pm and will be hosted by Carol Vorderman, formerly of Countdown fame.

Susan has said in a statement: “It’s going to be a real privilege to be performing before His Royal Highness, the Prince Of Wales. It’s going to be a great night. I can’t wait to be there.”

Susan is said to be singing “Perfect Day” originally by Lou Reed.

The Pride of Britain is an awards show sponsored by the Daily Mirror and Littlewoods which celebrates the achievements of Britain’s most amazing unsung heroes. One of the winners is a school girl who saved three other children from being killed in a fireball.

Other famous people who will be attending the event include British Prime Minister David Cameron, the ubiquitous Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole, together with Julie Walters, Bruce Forsyth, Lord Alan Sugar and many more.

Here is Susan Boyle’s performance at the San Remo Festival in Italy, which was aired live on February 16, 2010. The Hostess is Antonella Clerici. I have updated the previous clip to include one which also has the interview with Susan.

What was the biggest travesty of 2009? Susan Boyle losing out to Diversity in Britain’s Got Talent.

What is the biggest travesty of 2010? Susan Boyle not being nominated for a Brit Award.

What is it with us Brits? Why can’t we celebrate the talent that we have in this country? Susan Boyle had the best selling UK album of 2009 – yet no nomination, probably because she is just not “cool” enough to receive one.

What a load of old cobblers!!!

What do you all think?
