    absolutely no way. Totally different voices and singing styles.I also think Subo (and am no fan) would walk the floor with Mary. Personally I think Mary has a shouty voice whereas Subo;s is very pure

    Off topic but did the UK wash their hands of SUBO she seems to popular everywhere apart from here.

    Don't lumber Mary with that overhyped woman.

    No. As another poster has said, very different voices and singing styles. SuBo has a decent voice (although not as good as has been made out) but it's like singing by numbers. Mary also has a good voice - more pleasing to my ears - and she sings with feeling and style.

    Agree with you. Lots of big singers would love to duet with Subo and have said so. But she wants to do her own thing. Only duet on her album is with the unknown singer she's giving a chance to. She is very, very busy. Glee is anxious to get her and she'd like to do it, but they still haven't figured out how to fit it into her schedule.

    Wish people would stop looking for the next Susan Boyle. She was a worldwide sensation and still is. Nobody can live up to that standard and it's unfair to this year's contestants.

    Subo's debut album was the fastest selling in history in the UK last year and she ended up 5X platinum. 4Xplatinum in the US. Her home folks did her proud.

    Subo is 5 ft. tall and weighs about 150. Mary is what ? About 5' 8" and weighs about 200 lbs. She'd make 1 1/2 Subos

    standard? .. each to their own but I find that vocally Subo isn't anywhere up there with the great female vocalists .. for me she sings like a little girl and like a previous poster has said it's singing by numbers, very robotic without much emotion

    she's only a worldwide sensation because of the novelty value attached to her backstory .. vocally she's not all that and I've heard many people with voices like her in am dram groups and local choirs .. it's the hype, not her voice that's the main drive behind her success


    I also think that Mary and Subo have very different voices that wouldn't work as a duet .. the duet on her album is just another excuse to make money out of another "sob story" and promote the album to the US market more

    Subo's duet with Elaine Paige on that TV special was awful as Subo can't adapt and blend with another singer as she's too rehearsed and robotic .. she was out of time with both the backing track and Elaine, she was constantly singing ahead of the track and at times you could see Elaine having to try and adapt to get in sync with Subo and drag her back in time with the backing track

    Well after Marys performance on Saturday I think a duet would be a good idea.

    Does the UK still bother about SUBO or was she sold mainly to the world.


    I would imagine Mary's opportunites would be limited because of SUBO, would the Americans buy into this stuff a second time
