          What a wonderful list of accomplishments! CB, maybe we need to refer anyone who tweets about Susan 'not doing anything since BGT' directly to your list?

          I just found out that Lisa_Pully is gathering all her video counts again. Would the numbers she comes up with also be some good Susadata which could find a home on your list, CB? If so, you might want to send her a little PM and mention it.

              A great job Canadian Bill. Looking at her achievements for such short period of time, I feel so proud for Susan and I it wish it has no end. I would like to witness more and more from Susan. Thanks Bill.

                  CB, I hope every "naysayer" gets a look at this so they can see what they predicted as "15 minutes of fame" looks like.

                          NOTE: 'Dream' was not released in time to be eligible for 2009 Grammy nominations (USA) but will be for the 2010 year, so its still possible that something will need to be added in that respect later this year - let us hope!

                            Agreed! Bill, thank you for presenting this information!
                            Have you had your daily cuppa Susan? Drink deeply and Cheers.

                              Got up this morning, and I must say, it made me cry again. I'm so happy for her. And, she is magic. She is "The Gift".


                              Thank you very, very much Bill. I've got it saved.
                              She certainly moved the earth when her time came.......sometimes we don't see the angels in our midst.
