yeah, coming in with alll

As of my viewing right now, it has had 43,887,236 views. YouTube is certainly an amazing marketing tool! I agree with what's been said above. I'm sorry to say that I judged from the outer appearance as well, and was as shocked as the audience and panel were. Another take-away was, at 47, and I'm sure with major ridicule and discouragement from friends and family about how she couldn't succeed, she went for her dream anyway. You are never too old. It's never to late to take action. Take it now!

thank you deagan for the informations

Such an amazing surprise to hear Susan Boyle sing. She brought tears to my eyes. Imagine 42,000,000 views! Perhaps that is the most people ever listening to an individual singing a song in one day! Impressive what can happen on the Internet! Think of how rich she would be if she had been paid just $1.00 by every viewer. Staggering, isn't it?

I am very proud of this woman and the way she just so shocked the "living daylights" out of Simon. I know part of the way he acts get people to watch the show, but he really makes me ill. I do not believe there was anything planned there at all and he was just shocked.

Why do each of us seem to look to the outside of a person before really knowing them?????? I really have changed over my years and do not do that. In fact, I have wonderful parents, who taught me not to just look at the outside. I am a grandmother now and I try my best to teach my granchildren to get to know the person inside. If we only look at the outside, I guarantee you that we are missing out on wonderful friends and many other things people can give to us and we give back to them - not just looking good. In fact, I have been disappointed many times by thinking someone or something looks good and find they are not!! What a disappointment and who really wants to live their life that way.

The really sad thing is that the ones that look good on the outside - really have such a short time in which to live that life == each of us will get older - get baggy, saggy skin and other people who have looked on the outside only will be disappointed. Have you ever noticed that a celebrity rarely is show in photos at a party or going out after a certain age? Also, one very beautiful lady that we all know and love will not let her photograph be taken with anyone or alone without the person or company wanting it paying for hours of work on her makeup = wigs and everything costing thousands of dollars---- just for a photograph so people will not see who she is on the outside now. How very sad that life must be and I am thankful I do not live that life.

Fabulous, really, really inspirational !!

Inspiring video, to be sure. But equally inspiring is the TRAFFIC.

YouTube can be an insanely powerful method of driving traffic to your site - you just need to work the nuances and little 'tricks of the trade'.

So refreshing to be reminded that it's not the outer package that defines things- it's what's inside. That's one reason I think so many find her inspiring.

Absolutely amazing, so inspiring and an awesome bundle of refreshing, understated talent, buried deep inside a jolly good fellow. No need for any artificial make -over dear singing angel

I believe the message here is two fold. One never judge a book by its cover. I know personally when my wife and saw the beginning of this video, I am sure most people were thinking how bad this act was going to be. The best part is we were completely surprised and awe struck at her performance (especially Simon's reaction)

Secondly, when you really want to, when you truly believe in yourself, everything and anything is truly and absolutely possible.

Wow

Sorry for the confusion.

To the top,

Looks like the Video is not working, at least on my end... Still very amazed by this kind of traffic in just one day!
