Here comes Susan Boyle!!


What is with this insane hype surrounding Susan Boyle!

A week ago, Susan Boyle's video was at the top of the most viewed video's on YouTube with about 1 million, and i watched it(Btw, now there is around 50 million total views). My reaction was normal, you know, no one expected her to do well becuase of her looks and she blew the roof off the house with her voice. It was a very encouraging video to watch, quite uplifting as well.

But it is the attention that she is getting now that is truly astonishing. This is no simple american idol performance. Susan Boyle means something to a lot of people now. I've been reading  people's reaction around the internet to her perfomance, and it really is something else to see how emotional people got over her performance. Susan never really got a good chance to do something with her voice becuase her looks really gave off a wrong impression. She confessed that in her 47 year old life she has never been kissed. There is something amazing about Susan Boyle because automatically after watching her brief performance your heart is with her. And as cheesy as it sounds it's true, it's pretty emotional to see the change from before the performance when people didn't believe in her strictly because of her looks, and she blew everyone away. In addition to that tale of it's own, her performance also shows, that even if your 50 years old, don't give up your dream. It's the classic, "Don't judge a Britain's got Talent participant by their face."

I want to hear how people felt when watching Susan Boyle's performance. You can vote for the description on the right that best matches your feelings at the time.

And if you haven't seen the video yet, your probably living in a cave, but here it is anyways...
