Susan Boyle hit the web by storm when she sang "I Dream a Dream" in the TV show Britain's Got Talent. A stocky unpretentious woman from Blackburn, Scotland, 47 year old Susan was looked upon with disdain when she first walked on stage. Within seconds, judges and audience alike were in awe, cynic judge, Simon Cowell especially. She was a hit on You Tube and the world was instantly captivated.
Susan Boyle is the triumph of the underdog, the unlikely hero, the rebuttal of first impressions, the fulfillment of dreams. She brought tears to our eyes because she is all of us, struggling one day at a time, doing our jobs, winning some, losing some. We rooted for her because she proved that there is another kind of beauty besides the Hollywood stereotype. She sang straight to our hearts and proved that yes, we can.
The last few weeks have been difficult for Susan Boyle. Sudenly in the limelight, there were reports that she was having a nervous break down and predictions that she will not appear for the finals. She proved her critics wrong once again and gave a better performance than before.
Susan Boyle is not the best voice that graced talent shows but she is certainly the best person that did. She deserves to be the hit on You Tube that she has been. Keep going, Susan Boyle. You are loved.
