REDISCOVERED 1999 DEMO OF SUSAN BOYLE SINGING "KILLING ME SOFTLY"

SHE SPENT HER LIFE SAVINGS MAKING THIS DEMO AND NOBODY WANTED IT OR HER.

• SHE MUST HAVE GOTTEN REJECTION AFTER REJECTION...

• NOW SHE'S A STAR. PROVING THE "REJECTORS" DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE LISTENING TOO.

• I'D WAGER THAT THE VERY THINGS WHICH TURNED AGENTS OFF THEN ARE WHAT'S TURNING PEOPLE ON NOW.

• WHICH IS WHY "JUST GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT" IS STILL THE BEST MARKETING ANGLE.

• TO BAD THE "PRO'S" DON'T OFTEN DO THAT, AND INSTEAD GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY THINK THE PEOPLE SHOULD LIKE!

• THE GATEKEEPERS SUCK.

REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU COMPLAIN THAT THERE'S A LACK OF GOOD MUSIC OR MOVIES OR BOOKS: THERE'S REAL TALENT OUT THERE - LOTS OF IT.

THE PROBLEM IS GETTING THROUGH THE GATEKEEPERS...
