YOU'LL SEE is my favourite Madonna ballad. I admire Susan Boyle, because she's fragile and funny and feisty and talented. I have wasted my talents so far. And the World laughs at me, just as they laughed at Susan Boyle before they knew her. But one day ~ YOU'LL SEE!
The lyrics tell my message to the world:
All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive,
All on my own
I don't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see
You think that you are strong, but you are weak
You'll see,
It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat.
I have truth on my side,
You only have deceit
You'll see, somehow, someday
Susan Boyle version. There is no official video. Here's a home-made clips montage layered over the studio recording of this beautiful tune:
Madonna sings. To make the film Evita, she had her voice professionally trained. This recording dates from this time, and is one of Madonna's strongest vocals. The video was shot in Argentina "on my day off from Evita" ~ Madonna complained. But it's quite good:
No time like the present to get moving and take action.

ReplyDeleteGattina: she was v famous. Well IS v famous in America. Her first performance on Britain's Got Talent got hundreds of millions of hits on Youtube...
You have to admire Susan Boyle - but I never hear of her at all, not that I look for her. I think her success looks good on her - even if it's a flash in the pan and she goes back to her little town, no one can take it away from her and I'm sure she's set for life financially if she's careful. I do love her voice.
ReplyDeleteI love that song too.
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping my fingers crossed that you show us all your determination wins through. x
Jeannie: I know she doesn't have the strongest voice in the world, but she does have a lovely tone, and that's what Simon Cowell calls "a good microphone voice".
ReplyDeleteI don't think she will be a flash in the pan, not on this side of the Atlantic. When the British take soeone to their hearts, that person stays there, which is why people who've worked in both say the British entertainment industry is far less cruel than its American counterpart.
