If I remember(trying not to be mean now) they let the little girl do a re tape of her performance because she forgot the lyrics to the song.Now remember folks she’s just 10 years old.With a lot of years on her belt to make up for it. Susan Boyle is 48. This is her last shot. And it’s well earned. How could they do this?I think Britain’s Got Talent is something not to be taken seriously.

Susan Boyle: A Scot who didn’t back away.
I really don’t follow shows like American Idol and Britain’s Got talent.
So it is no surprise that I only got second hand information the day
Susan Boyle made a standing ovation in front of 60 million audiences around the world.
I watcher her performance in youtube and showed it to my folks. They were moved.
She offered something refreshing. She’s got the style or should I say
the ‘it’.I think the majority of her appeal comes from the fact that she represents
us-the underdogs of society.
After all we have been treated to the typical glamour stuff that shows such as this one
presents.Sure there are other singers who can sing like her. Maybe some can even sing
better.But what made her special was the fact that her’s was an unwelcomed possibility. I
mean who doesn’t want a singing contestant who looks like Taylor Swift?But that’s the point.
For the first time people were made to put their ideals to rest and just listen to the
song…the melody, what it’s all about and the music.They were made to suspend their
prejudices and made to focus on the music-the real intention of sincing contests such as
this one.
I am glad when things like this happen.For people like us who listen to the music first
before the artist, it’s a breath of fresh air. When Simon said”Susan, you’re an old tiger
aren’t you”?I think the truth couldn’t be far.Just goes to prove what a Celtic Tiger can do.

Maybe some can even sing better.But what made her special was the fact that her’s was an surprise probably even to her. Coming from a small town and often bullied as a child in school,Susan was inflicted with learning difficulties.
It’s amazing that for the first time people were made to put their ideals to rest and just listen to the song…the melody, what it’s all about and the music.They were made to suspend their prejudices and made to focus on the music-the real intention of singing contests such as this one.
I am glad when things like this happen.For people like us who listen to the music first before the artist, it’s a breath of fresh air. When Simon Cowell said”Susan, you’re an old tiger aren’t you”?I think the truth couldn’t be farther.
