A 10-year-old recording of Susan Boyle singing Cry Me a River has surfaced. She recorded it at a school, for a charity album sponsored by her village newspaper. Only 1,000 copies were produced, which is a shame, because she does a fantastic job. I hope she sings it on TV and makes her voice every bit as sultry as it is in the recording; teenaged heads will explode.
And, so I can put this in the "personal politics" category and pretend I've put up an intellectual blog post, check out some of the hand-wringing over Ms. Boyle collected at HuffPo:
