Well Good News CNN i joined Twitter. I started to follow you guys. We need to beat Ashton.
I can not get enough of the Susan Boyle
story. You go girl.
Wow, she has a nice voice. Hope she gets to sing professionally / in opera.
Abviously the one on the left is the mother.... Look her hands still look old
Susan's voice is simply amazing – even a Capella! i'm so happy when people like her are in the news. a refreshing break from all the negative news we've heard so much about recently.
LOL Anderson, that was probably the greatest plug ever.....don't crack yourself up now....you'll start to sound like my English teacher....
I don't Twitter...but you should just send the nets anyway to Africa. I am sure the African kids don't even know what Twitter is.
way to plug this twitter war.
Ha, funny Anderson nothing like self promotion! cute very cute
How many people do you need to win, Anderson? I don't think I caught it! 🙂 haha!
Thank you for announcing the day of silence!
Ah, yes, Anderson loves a good competition. I signed up earlier.
*tweettweet*
only if @andersoncooper twitters one tweet! PLZ!
What is CNN giving if they beat Ashton – he's doing the whole malaria nets and EA games deal?
Twitter, twitter, twitter, twitter!
Let's all say twitter at once!!
I love Susan Boyle. Love her voice, her laugh, and her smile. She is a nice lady. She is beautiful in her way. Where has she been all along? Thanks British got talents show to bring her out to the world.
I'm already following CNNBRK...no worries.
The whole (your voice, your talent, your timidity, your simplicity and your way humble) made with that she could captivate everyone.
OMG! I can't believe this you tube sensation! Such talent, why has she not recorded an album by now?
That woman is just amazing. I wish Susan all the best.
And she is captivating, sweet, funny and nice
Spinster?!?!!!! C'mon! This is the 21st century - time to put away that 18th century derogatory term for a single woman. For shame, CNN!
I love it! She's great!
Don't you just love that Scottish accent?! I hope there is a record deal in the works for her!
I watched your report on the torture the United States committed now when David Gergen said that former president Bush told the United States people that we do not torture David said that he was not lying and that according to him we were not torturing why then would these documents be kept Top Secret.
Susan Boyle proves that there is any type of diamond in any rough
Love Susan Boyle, love the song, and loved Les Miz when I saw it on stage years ago. She certainly puts a smile on one's face!
@ David G.
Thank you for your comments on the CIA and torturing. I do understand that the CIA agents were directed to torture and told it was legal. BUT, it's hard to swallow and hard to not want punishment against the men at the top!
They gave America a black-eye in the eyes of the world.
Those people were very fortunate to have the opportunity to listen to that woman sing. They were very lucky.
I am addicted to Ms. Boyle's video. L-O-V-E it!!! Joy is a good thing. ~ L.C.
we ought to give more credit to Mexico for fighting the drug war, We in the US are the consumers and need to admit our responsibility
Susan Boyle = Hope (especially if you're over 40...5...or so). A hero of sorts.
Sign her up!
ms. susan boyle seems to be the swan in the duck pond. so much for stereotypes.
On the same show last year, appeared Paul Pots, which also surprised the jury and the public to say that I would sing opera and was simply fantastic singing the aria "Nessun Dorma" of the opera Turandot.
OK. like a good CNN soldier I have signed up to follow breaking news.
Susan Boyle should come to my school, that will show the drama teacher that there is more than just beautiful talent in the world...
I can never get tired of the Susan Boyle story, she really has a great voice.
That voice....worth a million bucks.
Simon's face....priceless!
I sort of agree with Gergen on the prosecution of these crimes. It would take up all the administration & the media's time and energy. I don't think Pres. Obama wants that to be his legacy.
I haven't seen the story yet on themother that wants to look like her daughter, but it is already annoying. If you are going to have kids, then get over yourself and be the mother.
CNN should double the donation of mosquito nets!!
I signed up to CNN weeks ago!!
GO CNN!!
@ David Gergen - I agree the CIA agents shouldn't be charged - they were following orders. I'm more interested in the person/people who gave and signed the orders. I would just like them to admit that these tactics are torture and did take place. Take responsibility for their actions, so to speak.
She has a wonderful voice and a way sweet, shy and simple. Thus, she conquered the world!
I have got to spend the time to figure out Twitter. Guess I'm an idiot.
@ Erica and @Anderson
this whole story is fun!
I love to CNN, but the diference is almost 1k! lol ... My brother follows twitter to twitter!
I find it sad that a woman has to get tons of plastic surgery just so she can look like her daughter. Grow old gracefully
If I spent money to try and mimic my daughter (although she's only 11 right now so something would truly be wrong with me).. but if she was older and I did that she would look at me and say "Mother– Get A Life–preferably one of your own"
im with twitter with aston,
susan sounds like b strasand love her voice hope she
makes millions, and yes anderson this is a good smile
before sleep.
