I am one of the millions of insignificant people in the world that were mesmerized by the voice of an angel. The angel came in the form of a funny little woman full of life and love and the enthusiasm of a child that is so often squashed by the time a person reaches middle age. But this angel rose above and showed us all just how far a little courage and a carefully crafted talent can take you.
7. Leaving on a jet plane- John Denver- Maybe it is just me but I really love this song and I think she is one of the few singers that could really do it justice.
The above songs seemed like a natural fit but then I began to wonder how she would do with some other great songs that might be a little outside the box for her. The first song that came to mind was every rose has its thorn. I am not sure how it would come out but I would love to hear her version of it.
8. Every rose has its thorn -Poison- I know this is pushing the limits a bit further than most people would want to go but when I listen to this I think it would be beautiful coming from a woman.
9. Mamma I’m coming home-Ozzy Osbourn- I have read a lot about Susan and her relationship with her mother. This would be an awesome tribute to her mother and I think Susan really has found her home in the entertainment business.
10. Patience by Guns and Roses- I don’t know if she can whistle but I am sure she could carry this tune. I really think it would be great fun to have her do a song like this. I know it might make the GNR faithful that haven’t died of an overdose yet sick to their stomachs but hey Susan and Axel could just switch off concerts and they wouldn’t have to refund so many ticket sales.
I hope you enjoyed this trip into musical fantasy land as much as I did. I am a fan of Susan’s and I really hope she goes on to great things. The truth is she has already shared both her beautiful voice and an incredible story that is an inspiration to people all over the world. There is something amazing about a person getting one shot at success and pulling it off so flawlessly. Whatever she chooses to do in the future she has inspired me and made my life better through her courage and her voice and for that I am grateful.

Susan Boyle sings the hits of Guns and Roses – that could work.

Im one of the 3 who has not heard her sing, and with dialup I cant watch videos. However I suggest Queens Bohemian Rhapsody.

Susan made my cry with her performance on the x factor on Sunday night. That song was so haunting she is truly an angel.

Subo is a legend – some good choices here – but there’s not a proclaimers track amongst them – I’d still love to see her team up with them for letter from america!
