Same here. I've watched the video umpteen times and it still gives me chills. Her voice is so mesmerizingly beautiful, it's almost enough to make an agnostic believe in god after all.
She said she wanted to be like Elaine Paige. Well, I watched a clip of Ms. Paige (
here) and I say Susan Boyle has a far more lovely voice.
Weatherford, the comments you linked to are very interesting indeed. I agree with the people saying they don't want Susan to change her looks, at least not dramatically.
She's probably going to need at least a little makeover though, to sing professionally. I don't see any problem with a little tweezing, a good haircut, some very subtle makeup and a flattering wardrobe. Some little changes would likely reveal the honest beauty in her appearance.
Here's the link to her singing "Cry Me a River", for the lazy:

I read that she's already in negotiations for a recording deal. I hope she's well represented in that and I am very much looking forward to her first CD.
