In case you're not yet one of the nearly 20 million (so far) viewers of the amazing clip of Susan Boyle on "Britain's Got Talent", check out her song here.
Finally, some true talent and beauty! Not only does this woman have an incredible and beautiful voice, I find her personality delightful. How interesting to watch this situation play out- Susan does not outwardly fit the media's definition of success, beauty, or attraction, and the crowds make it clear that they are not impressed and don't plan to be. But alas! Boy do people's jaws drops when that woman opens her mouth and her amazingly gorgeous voice comes out.
The cheers, applause, and standing ovation that follow show me one thing: this is what we truly crave. This proves to me that people in general are fed-up with the fake beauty and physical requirements that we're given. The superficial never satisfies and this proves to me that we are not satisfied.
Finally a breath of fresh air. Thank you Susan Boyle!

ReplyDeleteYou said it so well! :) Her voice is beautiful, and unexpected. :) And she is so gracious, too, at the end of the song, when she could've said, BOOYAH or, I told you so. :)
