I saw this lady’s name in the number one spot on Twitter’s trend list, but didn’t pay any attention to it until a subscriber gave this lady kudos. So, I clicked on it and found myself watching Britain’s version of America’s Got Talent. The contestant’s name was Susan Boyle. She was middle-aged, overweight, and plain.
Susan told the judges that she wanted to be a professional singer. They rolled their eyes at her. The audience did the same. I watched their reactions and thought, ‘This must be a parody. She’s going to start singing, and they’re going to laugh her off the stage.’
Then she began to sing I Dreamed A Dream from the musical Les Misérables. Her voice came out strong and clear. She didn’t crack a single note or go off key once. The crowd gave her a standing ovation. The judges, including the notorious Simon Cowell, gave her their highest score and verbal kudos.
I wish that I could have been there to hear this lady sing because video and pictures never really do anyone any justice. Instead, I retweeted that post I found on Twitter and went to work, elated by this woman’s victory.
The people in Susan Boyle’s hometown were not surprised by her victory. They knew that she would blow everybody away with her voice. “Never judge a book by its cover,” a pub owner said to a TV news reporter.
How true. If you haven’t seen this video yet, watch it.
