Susan Boyle Shocks The Pants Off The Nation
Recently I have just found out that I am pregnant again with my second child. I want to name my child after the Osbourne’s because my other blog is all about them. I would like to give the second name to my baby so if it is a girl I will call her Kelly, Aimee or Sharon and if it is a boy either Jack, Michael or Ozzy. Actually although Ozzy no longer uses his first name I would prefer it is a boy to call it Michael because my dad is also called Michael and it means who is like God? Although they say in Judaism that if it is a boy and you call it after your living father it is supposed to be a bad curse, but actually I don’t believe in that rubbish. I just think it is a silly superstician, but either way if I call the child Michael it will be after Ozzy and also my father so it doesn’t matter either way. Still there is plenty of time to decide since it is not due till November 18th and it is my birthday on the 12th November which means I might not have a very pleasant birthday. Last time I had a bad pregnancy and had preeclampsia which is an allergic reaction to the placenta. It was very serious and my kidneys were starting to fail. In the end I had to have an emergency Caesarian section, but my daughter is 3 now and fine.
I guess why I am telling you about being pregnant now is that I might not be able to write as much espescially near the end and then when I have the baby. I am going to try and keep writing, but it all depends on how busy I am going to be. It also depends on if I get ill again, but so far I feel fine, but it is still early days. If I do have to go into hospital I will keep you all informed via my husband who I will get to write on my blog just so that you know what is going on because you have all been good readers and I feel I owe it to you to keep you all informed.
Changing the subject I thought I’d talk about Britain’s Got Talent today. If you watched it on Saturday then you will have seen a rather remarkable lady who shocked the pants off the nation. Her name is Susan Boyle and I was in tears as I listened to her sing “I Dreamed A Dream” from Les Miserables. I am not reduced to tears easily but, everytime I listen to her I find myself in tears that I cannot help. This lady has a voice like you would expect to hear the angels singing in Heaven. I have never heard anything like it and what was most astounding is that I never expected a voice like that to come from a lady that didn’t look like she could sing. What they say is you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover and this is so true where Susan Boyle is concerned. The audience were stunned and quite honestly so was I. Knowing what the industry is like where image is concerned I think that maybe they will tell her to change her image although I’d love it if they weren’t so shallow. I know this is what people think and this is part of the reason why people were shocked. The other reason is because this lady had a voice worthy of heaven and why she hasn’t been snapped up till now I do not know. It makes you realise that anything is possible if you want it enough. I have even decided that once I have the baby and things have settled down a bit I might actually audition for Britian’s Got Talent myself as an actress. I don’t see many actor’s on Britian’s Got Talent and I often wonder why this is. However all I can do is try and as this lady showed anything is possible. As soon as Susan Boyle releases an album I will purchase it and I hope that she goes on to win the talent show because she certainly deserves to.

With over 10 million views on youtube I think she will have a contract before she wins the show. But why did you think she looked like she couldn’t sing? Parvotti wasn’t good looking - neither was Joan Sutherland or Edith Piaf ? Its just recently that apparently you have to look good and be young to be able to sing! She made me cry too - and I reviewed her on http://australia.today.com/2009/04/16/britains-got-talent-show-discovers-talent-in-a-middle-aged-woman/
