A Touching Lesson For Me

Tweet

Recently, I came across a very amazing character from a real time show - "Britain Got Talent" and after watching the video clip, I am just reeling with shock and emotions. Yes, this amazing lass is none other than Susan Boyle, a 47 year old spinster from Blackburn, West Lothian, Scotland, and she puts it "a collection of villages". A place where she was born with humble beginnings and as years go by her singing grew from strength to strength, winning most of the local singing competitions. Yet, I am left wondering why she was not even spotted by talent scouts or recording companies or musical groups. Somehow, I just cannot conclude that these people are looking for looks as well. Look at the audition video, the crowd and the judges were simply unimpressed when she walked up to the stage and made an introduction of herself. You could even see the cynical and utter sneer when she mention that she is hoping to be as successful a singer as Elaine Page. Boy, you should look at the faces when she was talking. It just show how unimpressed, cynical, disgust, and disbelieve people can be. It was really going to be another episode of "Against All Odds!" Yet, when she opened her lyrical and astounding voice singing I Dreamed a Dream from the musical Les Miserables, you should look at the judges' faces, the resounding cheers and astounding standing ovations from the crowd. You can say that the crowd was brought to the feet and as one of the judges - Amanda Holden as well. She had the judges, Piers Morgan "reeling with shock", Amanda Holden "thrilled and a wake up call" and Simon Cowell "...we were goanna hear something extraordinary and I was right" bowled over and as Simon Cowell so well phrased words: "Susan, you can go back to your village with your head held high - it is 3 Yeses". She is so plain down to earth and no one would expect her to actually take part and qualify for the talent show. I am just awed at this end here and I am sure you would too after watching the video here. Enjoy and give your take or share a similar incident.
