Clip of 22-Year-Old Susan Boyle Singing Surfaces

— May 2, 2009 — Pop Culture
In an age of limitless video footage, juicy material is available if someone only takes the time to sift through it. Gerry McGuinness did just that - digging up this interesting piece from a long time ago. Shot at the Motherwell Football Club’s social club in Scotland, this video shows a 22-year-old Susan Boyle singing. You can’t really hear her that well, but you can see a younger (and hipper?) Susan.
