Week 9 You Tube: A Blaze of stardust in the Pukeko Pond

As my blog draws to a close, along with the start of winter, I notice that I am spending longer in my warm nest and cannot read my books once the sun disappears past the western horizon. I have listened to my fellow Pukekos talk about watching videos on You tube to while away the hours. Managed to casually drop by the IT Guru's nest in time to hear him talking about a recent phenomenon he had seen on You Tube. He was so excited about it that he didn't realise he was showing me how to find my way around this extraordinary means of communication. When I went home I started up my PC, went on to the Internet and typed in youtube.com then did a search for the phenomenon he had chirped on about. By typing in Susan Boyle I came up with loads of information on this exciting songstress. Her voice had me transfixed and I played all the videos of her singing various songs that had me rivetted to the screen long after I should have been in bed. Having also tried to download her "I dreamed a dream" from the BBC site and discovering that it took too long to load I can really recommend finding your favourite video through You Tube. In a twinkling of a Pukeko's white tail feathers You Tube delivered what I wanted and I am looking forward to hearing more of this Susan Boyle soon.
Loved access to You Tube, especially because it gave me the opportunity to listen to long time music and comedy favourites that are now not available to purchase.
Unfortunately embedding has been disabled in the video of Susan's performance of "I dreamed a dream" however this is the URL for the full length version of her appearance on "Britain's got talent" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY so I have inserted a clip taken from an appearance Susan Boyle made on Michael Bayymore's show "My kind of people" in 1984.
