At first I thought I could. From the way she looked and spoke, she was my dizzy Aunt Isabel come back to life. Then she sang....Wow! Thanks, Anne.

Hi Mary Ellen,

WOW, is right! I must have listened to it a dozen times since my cousin sent it to me a few hours ago and it always brings tears of joy. :lol:

Makes me wonder though about what kind of talents some of my ancestors might have had. A little recording like that would be a wonderful addition to anyone's family history. :D

Regards,
Anne H

Isn't that just the most wonderful voice?

Took me totally by surprise.

To steal a catchphrase form Bruce Forsyth, "Didn't she do well".

The news story concerning the filming of her home town earlier in the week was less than flattering. Will they still want to not film in Blackburn?

i used to live in "Boyle Street"! Does that mean I can claim her as mine?
They put her on the brekkie show here this morning and I cried. I cried again when I played it now.
She was is BRILLIANT!!!

I'm off to see if I have Boyles in my tree, she is after all from my neck of the woods.
Just wishful thinking, but I do hope her dream come true what a talent, make you wonder why she hasn't been discovered before now.

Sad to hear her hometown received such an unflattering review but her talent is certainly out of this world - an absolutely magnificent voice... what a talent she has. Hope she wins! :)

As for having Boyles in my tree...I could have been related to her if I'd married Patrick Boyle but I ran away from him after he kissed me...mind you, I was only six years old at the time. :lol:
