Susan's Got Talent

       We all live in a cynical world where everyone seems to have his or her way on judging people based on their appearances and looks. To hell with everybody else, because Susan Boyle, a 47-year old spinster proved them all wrong.

       The British audience in Britain’s You’ve Got Talent was completely stunned when an old, credulous lady tried to make a name for herself in the number talent show in Britain. As Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan were interviewing the funny looking Susan, the unruly audience laughed at her thinking that she was just one of those dorks wanting to get attention on the said show. Everybody was screaming and making faces as Susan answered every question that the 3 judges were throwing at her. Its like judging by the way she looks…she definitely can’t sing. Ok the stage was set. Susan before actually showing off her talent was already judged, laughed at and was humiliated. Then come the time to prove Susan’s worth. Inspired by singer Ailyn Page, Susan sang I Dream A Dream. The old woman who was crushed by the audience’s discriminating reactions stunned them with her angelic and enchanting voice singing every note with brilliance. Susan sang the song with class, elegance and charm leaving everybody shocked. Even the 3 judges can’t believe what they were hearing.  The boastful and arrogant audience suddenly turned into legion of fans wanting to hear more from Susan. They gave her a standing ovation and the respect she truly deserves. What a world-class performance! Today, Susan Boyle’s superb performance is continuously gathering views from around the world having 30 million views in just two weeks. Truly an inspiring story to share about.

        Judging a person whether by color, age, looks, shape, and size simply is an important lesson learned here. It’s not how you look that matters…rather its how you carry yourself and bring out the best in you. The story of Susan Boyle moved me. It’s a constant reminder that we still live in the real world and even though our lives revolved around the glamour and beauty of Hollywood, what matters most is still…being human. This is definitely a wake up call as Amanda Holden said after hearing the powerful performance of Susan. Slap your face, wake up and be moved by British newest sensation Susan Boyle.
