I know everyone and their mother's uncle has seen this already, but...

Susan Boyle gave me and the rest of the world an extraordinary shock on Britain's Got Talent.And what's sad is most of the audience (at the theatre and watching at home) and the judges had written her off before she had even begun. Are we so prejudice against people's looks that we can't imagine someone who doesn't look like a celebrity having any

I LOVE how she just blew everyone away there, I've seen this clip at least 10 times over the past days.
Did you notice the look on one audience member's face (your typical pretty girl) when Susan said her dream was to become a professional singer? Bleuh!

I did. It was such a bitchy look; I felt so bad for Susan. And then she knocked everyone's socks off - the ultimate revenge, so to speak.

I didn't see it myself but my Mum did.

I say good for her for going for it and braving their attitude..I'm so glad she blew their socks off.

Grrrrrrr to a society whose first impression is that if you don't have the looks you can't possibly have the talent.

Here, here. It makes me think twice about the society I'm living in.

She's totally my new hero!

Mine too. Girls and women need heroes like her instead of Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan.
