I had to pass this on to all of you out there.
It was sent to me by 2 different people. Both times I watched it tears welled up for a number of reasons.
It reminded me of how superficial the world has become.
I AM NO FAN of American Idol. I find Simon Cowell an obnoxious jerk which makes the show a huge waste of time in my opinion. Belittling performers in front of millions does not display the best of character in the belittler as far as I am concerned.

As I watched this video I payed attention not only to the distain of the panel but that of the audience.
The video is of Susan Boyle -- Singer in -- Britains Got Talent 2009 auditions. This spunky charming 47 year old who lives with her cat Pebbles and has never been married or kissed wowed the audience. The change from start to end was remarkable.

It brought home the whopping “NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER” adage.Unfortunately this is not available to embed but certainly worth a click to watch on youtube.

Here is another song from Susan that was recorded in 1998 for a charity CD … this woman is a wonderful talent apparently undiscovered until now.

Susan’s hope to be as good as Elaine Paige … far to go? … I don’t think so.
