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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-play). Shot at the Motherwell Football Club’s social club in Scotland, this video shows a 22-year-old [Susan Boyle singing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vocal-remover-online). You can’t really hear her that well, but you can see a younger (and hipper?) Susan.
