Susan Boyle - 1995

[Ethel]

Yes, I know, she's all over the news.

But she was on tv in 1995 and that oik Barrymore thought she was a joke

Thanks for that Ethel. Never could stand him myself. He was a joke himself.

[pastafreak]

I never cared for him.....this makes him look even more of an idiot.

[craft1948]

I think this pathetic person actually hated women and often tried to take the p!ss out of them on his shows......he never dared pick on a man though...

[noway2]

D1ck ed.Not you ethel

[crazycathy2]

He was so far up his own bottom that there was no room for anyone with talent

Think he didn't like to lose the limelight

[No,Knowledge]

yeah picking on daft blo0dy women , it's not right is it!

is it?

[mrs.chappie]

It's a good job we all know nono's got a daft sense of humour, innit?

[crazycathy2]

No it isn't right is it???????

He wants to try picking the ladies here - lol

[sn�gs]

''He was so far up his own bottom''...

That he didn't see what was going on in his swimming pool...

''Allegedly''...

[dot.haukes]

It is really sad that Susan has had to wait so long to be 'discovered' and that is down to people like Barrymore and his producers not accepting that you do not have to look like Beyonce or that other bird kylie to actually have the presence and talent to make people accept you for what you can do.

Barbra Streisnad is and always was as ugly as a clog back (as they say in these parts) but she was able to transcend that through God's Gift of talent.

[tamborine]

B'more ruined her chances with that performance ......... and he still hasn't been taken to task for the murder at his property. It's a travesty of justice!

[Ethel]

When Barrymore first came to television he was genuinely entertaining.
Then he started humiliating people and his true colours came out.
I can't stand the man.

[jno]

Better that than inviting her round for a swim.

[mrs.chappie]

I never found him funny.

[ELVIS68]

Most people thought she was a joke on BGT before she started singing, but unlike Barrymore...Simon Cowell makes money out of them.... not fun

Show Business...It`s a funny old game

[legend-isgod]

Exactly elvis.
Dont understand the outrage on the thread.,At the time barrymore was very popular and all this bandwagon about a woman with a moustache and dennis healeys eyebrows really does surprise me.


Elvis is right.theyw ere about to p�ss themselves laffin at her.

but they made money outta paul pottts and he was no looker either


i think cowell sees another payday.


but as for the woman , shes got a good voice thats made sound better by the fact people lok at her and think shes a bit of a dafty

and those that say otherwise

well
you cant lie to yourselves

[Ethel]

She was never on BGT - her bit was never aired.

Who knows what may have happened if she were?

[weecalf]

On this lady appeaance of BGT ..The cameras were on the judges expecting them to go all astounded .A bit stage managed dont you think .
