A Kiss for Susan Boyle

I’ve been wondering the past few days why some people visiting my blog have entered into Google search the phrase “susan boyle john barrowman”. The Susan Boyle part I can understand—I’ve done a couple of long postings about the Songstress of Blackburn, and in one of those postings I mention John Barrowman, because he gives the best performance on YouTube of Susan’s reported second song. But why would querents couple her name with the name of that devastatingly delicious omnisexual actor-singer in the first place?

And then I remembered. You have to be a Doctor Who/Torchwood fan to get the reference. It’s because of Captain Jack’s Transformative Kiss! Or, it could also be that fans are yearning for a showstopping melodic duet by the two of them. This could happen. Here’s John in a splashy Rodgers & Hart number, “Have You Met Miss Jones”, accompanied by the girls of The Sound of Music boot camp. He’s certainly Susan’s match.

Check out John at snogging training at the same boot camp, which was designed for hopeful young actresses to compete to play Maria in a West End revival. Might there be a kiss somewhere there in the offing for Susan too?
