I just watched this video. All I’ve got to say is, “Way to go Britain!”
Talk about a wake-up call for determination and perseverance. I love hearing stories like these.
I know millions of you have all ready seen this; heck, I’m the 5,688,944th viewer! But for those of you who haven’t, you gotta check this video out.

I saw this Saturday when it aired. Wasn’t she amazing. Did you see how everyone was laughing at her beforehand? I think everyone may have a learned a new lesson that day.
Susan Boyle has a Wikipedia page up as well.

I wish her well in the Competition, she will go far.

Well I was already an emotional wreck having had 2 bereavements in my family in the past 6 weeks, so watching this on Saturday set me off again!! What a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. And it is certainly one in the eye for all those who judged the gift by the wrapper so to speak! I for one hopes she gets the winning prize.

Wow!!! She’s got a great voice. They were definitely laughing at her I guess how she looked, but Aly’s right. Don’t judge the book by its cover.
I was shocked that Simon loved her and he was all smiles. You don’t see that everyday. Simon smiling at a performance he loves? I know Simon is never like that on Idol and I was shocked to see him enjoying her performance on this show.
Wow!!! Great voice. Thanks for sharing this, Don.

This is the first time I’ve seen this video since we don’t get Britain’s Got Talent in the USA, but we do have America’s Got Talent.

I hadn’t seen this yet either and she was definately judged the moment she stepped out on stage. What a beautiful voice she has!
