Susan Boyle

I was brought to tears watching a youtube copy of Susan Boyle performing on Britains Got Talent. It is a British version of American Idol. I must admit I have been following American Idol this year. I got tired of all the heavy news about the economy and job loss. I must say I like Simon Cowell. His comments although often caustic are usually right on. The "don't judge a book by the cover" seemed to apply in the case of Susan. Simon was rolling his eyes as she answered the preliminary questions. It appeared that the panel of judges assumed that she would be a "dud" due to her dowdy appearance and 47-years-of age. Being a "Boomer" I loved watching their faces as she belted out a song from Les Miserables. Please enjoy, Susan Boyle.
