The Story of Susan Boyle

April 17th, 2009 2 comments

This is an amazingly heart-warming story. Susan Boyle is an unemployed 47 year old who has never been kissed before in her life. She hails from a small Scottish village – where the heck is West Lothian?  At the April 11th show of “Britain’s Got Talent” 2009 , she sang “I Dreamed A Dream” from the musical “Les Miserables”. The people were cynical when she got on stage, because she was a bit stocky and didn’t have the look of a music star. Her favourite singer is Elaine Page. People rolled their eyes and sniggered… but that was before she started singing.

She brought the stunned crowd to several standing ovations. You will see why…

As at 17 April, her youtube video had about 17 million views. The common theme everywhere I look:  never judge a book by it’s cover. This is a must-watch.
