Susan Boyle
We judge books by their covers far too soon .... and we are often so so snobbish. But those with true talent always remain humble, and in the end beat all odds.
This post is probably way too late. But, Susan Boyle's life is one of those things that reminds me what is truly real in life. Ms. Boyle was laughed at all through her life, her dream of wanting to be a singer laughed at by everybody. But, dreams dreamt sincerely will never disappear. She finally got where she should have always been. Two videos : one where people snickered at her, and one where she achieved her dream always come to my mind when I feel a need for inspiration (especially the first video).

What happened to my favorite blogger ? write write !!!!!!
big fan of hers, wonderfully written
Life span is a long time, need to wait until the end to complete all dreams..! Nothing is gone..
What a sad state of popular culture when "talent" is measured by one's ability to sing karaoke for 30 seconds.
Yeah, I get it. Everyone shit their pants when Susan Boyle opened her mouth because she's so ugly...surely her voice would match her face, right?
The problem is, she's not really doing anything. None of these clowns are. Take a look at her albums. She hasn't written a single song or contributed to any arrangements of any songs on any of her albums.
It is purely by luck that she was discovered, not because of a talent that could not be held back. Sure, she achieved her dream, and good for her, but her story falsely implies that the best way to "make it" is by auditioning for such trash as "Idol" and learning how to sing other peoples' songs well.
Pretty soon, nobody will be writing new songs, we'll just be re-recording all the ones we already know and like.
ENCOURAGE TRUE CREATIVITY!
