Susan Boyle, really??

This is from joe.my.god

The Internet has not seen anything quite like Susan Boyle, whose online
popularity is headed straight to the history books. The video of Boyle's
performance in the reality show "Britain's Got Talent" has set the record for
the number of views in a week -- and shows no sign of slowing down. According to
Visible Measures, which tracks videos from YouTube, MySpace and other
video-sharing sites, all Boyle-oriented videos -- including clips of her
television interviews and her recently released rendition of "Cry Me a River,"
recorded 10 years ago for a charity CD -- have generated a total of 85.2 million
views. Nearly 20 million of those views came overnight. The seven-minute video
that was first posted on YouTube and then widely circulated online easily
eclipsed more high-profile videos that have been around for months. Tina Fey's
impersonation of Sarah Palin has clocked in 34.2 million views, said the folks
at Visible Measures, while President Obama's victory speech on election night
has generated 18.5 million views.


Obama's victory speech 18.5 million
Tina Fey's Sarah Palin 34.2 million
Susan Boyle 85.2 million

Priceless.

I was wondering if maybe so many people watched it because most of us didn't see it live. I saw both the Obama victory speech and Tina Fey's kick ass Palin as they were actually happening so never bothered to watch it on You Tube.
Maybe that's why?
