Susan Boyle and Paul Potts: Not Quite Out of Nowhere
Posted by: Biggest Fan
April 23rd, 2009 >> Susan Boyle News
The story of Susan Boyle — like that of Paul Potts before her — is, except to the most jaded and curmudgeonly among us, completely irresistible. Fished, seemingly, from the bottom of the troll pond by Britain’s Got Talent, these two humble, working-class, physically ill-favored souls were suddenly found to be capable of creating things of astonishing beauty. People reacted as if vast quantities of treasure were discovered in the trunk of a broken-down Hyundai abandoned on their street. It was always there, but nobody had ever bothered to look. Thanks to that grouchy Simon Cowell (and YouTube), the two amateur singers each became overnight sensations, bringing lumps to the throats and surreptitious wiping of the eyes to millions, including the show’s judges.

Good for you Susan and God bless you. I love it! I too was scorned nearly all my school years because I was the square peg in the round hole, never fitting in. But for a couple of teachers who saw my “hidden” talent and nurtured it, I don’t know where I’d be. I am a writer.
I join the the masses who are in awe of your magical voice and I wish you the very best in all you do.

It may seem silly but I’m a rough and tough GI and I love to read the story of Susan Boyle. The youtube video lights up my day if I feel down or stressed. I check the news several times daily to learn more about her. I can’t wait to see her life story on the big screen or buy her 1st CD. She is truly an inspiration to anyone with a dream to “never give up.” Even if she doesn’t win BGT, I believe her dreams have already come true.
Go Susan
