Stunning footage of another amazing Susan Boyle performance singing from Jesus Christ Superstar. It was never broadcast - probably because Barrymore took the pee out of her for her looks etc.

It shows how desperately hard SUSAN BOYLE tried to get noticed but how the "gatekeepers" of the music biz kept her out because she was perceived as ugly.

This is a real "Elephant Man" type of story. It has to go to HOLLYWOOD.

You will be pleased to know that her voice is just as brilliant back then - but Barrymore is appalling in his treatment of her.

Personally I don't think she is that great a singer but surely SHE said SHE had never been kissed and thus foremost this clip proves she is a liar...

Its a stage kiss ! cant you see that !!! LOL not a real one. Typical Barrymore.

Barrymore showing that he is to comedy what he is to swimming. Don't miss this overacting goon from our screens one bit.

Ummm, no, I lost my sight reading about a ridiculously overrated Elaine Paige wannabe.

I think you are being a tad too tough in her. When she says she hasn't been kissed I reckon she means in the passionate love making sense..and a peck from Michael Barrymore would most certainly not be that.

For sure she's not a great singer nor does her voice really have a lot of "soul" but she certainly can hit the notes. I just don't perceive much feeling in her singing..it's pedestrian...but I love the whole idea of her.

And you would find in any choir a number of singers similar if not better.

I reckon in a studio she will be able to produce very nice music and her first album will undoubtedly sell a million at the very least. But it will be a one hit wonder.

I could name a dozen entertainers whose singing voices arent as technically good as Susan Boyles..Kylie Minouge is one who is a complete studio creation but the whole package that comes with Kylie is incredibly pleasing.

We are living in a very strange era when it comes to celebrity and all the rules are being broken. We are also really seeing for the first time the awesome power of the internet. And I still maintain that government and private corporations like News Ltd will try and take control of it because of what is happening.

A film clip of two guys hugging a lion becomes an instant world wide phenomenon and next minute the guys are bashing out a thin re-write of a book they did 30 years ago (and it's as dull as dish water) and it rockets right up to a no. 2 USA best seller just because they were on Oprah.

A skinny model like a million other girls, gets snapped up by USA TV network and is rushed to appear on The View & Oprah and a host of other celebrity shows to talk about what she eats..talk about booooring. And let's not even go near the Jade Goody saga.

Susan Boyle is just an example of Simon Cowell at his very best in manipulating the audience. You have to hand it to the guy.

There's an interesting take on BGT in today's Private Eye.

Barrymore's shows always went the same way with him having to behave like a retarded teenager to get the laughs and upstage anyone.

This lady has an amazing voice.Good luck to her.

I used to enjoy Strike It Rich presented by Michael Barrymore, but I never found his stand up act very funny.
