    Has anyone heard her singing 'Cry Me A River'? She made the recording 10 years ago for a charity cd.

    She just needs a hairdresser and dressdresser.

    I would just hate it if the media types took over and try to give her a makeover.

    It is refreshing to see someone who is not airbrushed for public consumption. I also hope she stays just as unpretentious as she is, and does not get carried away by fame, money and adulation.

    Not that there is anything wrong with a hairdresser or dressdresser but far too much attention is spent on looks, instead of on talent,and there is the danger that eventually they'll take over the show.

    She gives hope to thousands of women who might not be young, beautiful or slim and as a result lack the confidence to find whatever true greatness we possess.

    But a nice haircut would do wonders for her.
    Even if she got those eyebrows thinned out a wee bit.
    Go Susan go :)

    Then 1.33 when susan says she wants to be like elaine paige, some 35 year old looking woman mouths "who is that" :rolleyes: im 26, and know who elaine paige is . i wanna smack that girl at 1.23 though :mad:

    oh sorry she mouths "ealine paige" lol. i cant spell tonight sorry :D
    :o


    Mmm - that was me. LOL. Don't hate me!!!

    The wee lassie sitting next to me was from Dundee Uni, she said she was 20 ... when Susan said 'Elaine Paige', the wee lassie said to me 'Who? Who does she want to be like???' and I said .. 'Elaine Paige' with a confused look (which came over as a sneer) because I thought it was a strange name to give! Honestly, it was all innocent!

    P.S - This is how I looked after the first line of the song ... LOL!

    She wasn't terrible, but she was a bit off tune and fast at the beginning.

    I feel sorry for her with the media's attempt to make her out to be some nasty woman; she's not. I think some people are just jealous of her premature success in America.
