Is Susan Boyle (from Blackburn, Scotland) the "REAL DEAL"?

I believe she is the 'real deal.' She is amazing. If you remember, there was a gentleman a couple years ago that sang opera, (his name escapes me.) He was marvelous and had the audience on their feet and with tears in many eyes. I think it is wonderful to be totally blown away by the talents of some people such as she. She has definitely been blessed with a wonderful singing voice.
