No song unsung, no wine untasted
For anyone who has not yet seen that video of Susan Boyle singing on "Britain's Got Talent."
Don't give up on those dreams, guys. This woman is 47 - that's an awfully long wait to get your dream. But I think it must have been worth the wait just to see the audience give her a standing ovation on the fourth lyric.
P.S. If you just want the audio ( Read more... )

Sometimes the judges do tend to let certain things slide in auditions that they come down on later on. I think they adopt a bit of a, "wait and see if they fix that," attitude, given that they start off with a fairly large pool of people to pare down.
What you're saying is true, but 1) I don't think she'd be such a media darling now if she HADN'T shocked the judges like that (man, it made my WEEK to see Simon's eyebrows go shooting up like that), and 2) I honestly don't think she has half a clue. (Did you see how she just kind of did a little bow and started to walk off? Like she didn't even know she was supposed to stay.) She comes off as someone who's mostly accepted her small-town life living alone with her cat, hasn't looked outside that for years, and just took this one last shot.
I think that's part of why people are so interested, really. This ISN'T someone who's been working hard at getting any kind of work as a singer.
Anyway - if she goes anywhere in the competition, they WILL see to it that she gets cleaned up. They always do in these sorts of competitions. Look at Clay Aiken, Bianca Ryan, etc.
