OK... 2 options....
Option 1) If this really is her it means that she isn't some inexperienced frump from some little village in England who was singing to an audience for the first time ever the other day. If this is the case then that makes her performance the other day worse, because she's been making recordings since 1999 and she should have been far better.
Option 2) It's not her... i.e. this is just someone claiming it's her. I think this is the more likely option because the singer has tonal qualities (accent, where her pitch strength is, her tremolo) more attributable to American female negro soul singers (Here's Ella Fitzgerald singing the same song: . The vocalist in that recording also has pretty good vocal expression, something Susan didn't display the other evening. I am not completely ruling it out that it is Susan, but I won't believe it until I see a video of her singing it, or see an album cover with her name on it along side that song (after all this was a charity recording, so there should be an album somewhere).
