Well I think its Great !! other have said if a package arrives you can open it as its for you!! Id no idea he'd sent for it, so it was a loverly surprise.Jean

Have missed (or avoided) most of the media frenzy over Susan Boyle, but OH and I were in his car the other day and he had Radio 2 on (I prefer ClassicFM, lol) and listened to a song. I didn't particularly like the arrangement but was struck by the power and depth of the voice. OH said 'Do you know who that is - Susan Boyle'. Was surprised, good luck to her, she certainly has talent.

bought it yesterday - not cheapest in Asda!!! but bought it anyway - it is fantastic - shall be playing it in my car non-stop, especially I dreamed a Dream as I love Les Miserables

Singer Susan Boyle's album is number one after it became the best-selling debut in UK chart history.

Boyle, a runner-up in ITV's Britain's Got Talent, has so far sold 410,000 copies of her album, I Dreamed a Dream.

I have just got the £2 refund too as they guarantee when pre ordering to match the price when its actually dispatched.
Cant be better Good CD and a good price too !!

cheapest in Asda apparently

Even critics ill-disposed to the glutinous hype that has preceded Susan Boyle’s debut album, and its “oddball kitsch” (Bob Stanley, in this paper), concede that there is something special about her voice.

On Sunday night, Boyle’s rendition of Wild Horses on The X Factor should have silenced her detractors. It was stunning. Not what Mick Jagger or Keith Richards could have ever imagined for the song, but so what?

Interpretation and appropriation offend musical purists but can often yield something magical. Boyle held the audience rapt, her voice soared with warmth and feeling.

Despite her makeover — diva hair, frock and magisterial gait — she seemed nervous. “Look out the public,” she repeated when Dermot O’Leary, the host, asked about the release of her album. Not exactly the rousing call to sales you can imagine Beyoncé or Mariah Carey proclaiming, but very SuBo. Her power is such that The Rolling Stones yesterday re-released the original song.

One for my shopping basket when in UK
Thanks for this thread
Love Mary xx

Thanks Shirley

No its the CD Living a dream I ordererd it online from Amazon last Wed and it arrived on Friday its a 12 track CD

Is the CD |Living the Dream? Only on TV tonight it said it was out Monday? Or is that the new single?

Hi
she is on xfactor tonight performing her new single

I ordered it a while ago; it was supposed to be released tomorrow but have been notified that it is in the post. Am looking forward to hearing it.

Nudging up in case anyone is thinking of buying this CD.

WOW I have to revise my original posting !! when I played it first on the PC it was on random play and I couldnt see how to play it from song one , I was a little disapointed with it, BUT have now played it again on the HI Fi/DVD player from the start and its a really good CD .NO it doesnt need any more punch and Susan sings every track giving it her all.Yes would love to hear her sing some more old classics but bet that will come on subsequent CD,s

Nice songs on there, worth it I would think for I dreamed a dream and cry me a River. Thanks

agree with you she looks fab so diffrent to when she first walked on to the stage at britains got talent

She looks really nice on the cover ,especially the back cover which is full length sitting side ways at a piano, i think her makeover is very flattering for her and should give her confidence a boost.
