She and her mother watched Britain's Got Talent together and her mother kept telling her she should be on it. She stopped singing when her mother died in 2007, but decided to try out for the show. This was the first time she'd sung in public since her mother died. Now she has a shot at singing for the Queen.

It's just such a great story all around.

Isn't it wonderful to know what G-d sounds like? Such a remarkable story...such a remarkable woman. I cannot wait to hear her next performance.

According to this CNN story, (http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/0...ell/index.html) it's over 11 million now!!

I agreee, watching her story has been a sheer delight (and I do love that song from Les Miserables).

It seems a bit sad that she's never been kissed though; human beings need love and affection (well, I guess she got that from her Mom before she died, but that's not the same thing....).

It knocks me out how confident and self assured she seems on stage though. She seems pretty comfortable in her skin, up there on the stage.
