Susan Boyle
I just watched the ever-popular Susan Boyle video on YouTube, and immediately after I found a video depicting the reaction to her performance on "Britain's Got Talent". She woke up the next morning to cameras and reporters at her house, and an offer from Oprah to be a guest on her show.
And what is this Scottish woman's response?
"I'll just take baby steps at the moment. Keep my feet on the ground."
It's refreshing to see someone who knows where she stands and not jumping at movie rights or something. She took those judges who expected "young" and "beautiful" people with so-so talents, and showed them what experience and style can be worth. She knew the judges and audience were ridiculing her, but she still sang as if she had borrowed the total confidence of everyone in that room plus more. I'm hoping that she will turn out to be an awesome role model for women around the world.
