The world seems quite taken with Susan Boyle. Her frumpy appearance, quirky behavior, and remarkable voice went viral leading to an estimated 100,000,000 youtube video hits in just over 6 six weeks. She is a sensational character in a sensationalizing world, and has caught the eye of mainstream media and average everyday "Joes" as she likes to call them. She has become an unlikely star catapulted onto an international stage reminding us that it is good and honorable to be as you were intended "originally you".
I was so taken by her original video clip, at just over 7 minutes it was like a gripping two hour movie with all the main characters -- the heroine (Ms. Boyle of course), the villain (the in-person audience including the judges), and the victim (us, all of us that waited to laugh at Ms. Boyle for making such a fool of herself in public). Even the script ("I Dreamed a Dream", Les Miserables) seemed suited for that moment when it was shared. If you watched this it was one of those "feel good" stories of a lifetime.
It strikes me that so many equally (if not more so) talented people will never be discovered because of either their desire to be like everyone else or because of the tigers that have torn hope apart for them. They seem victims of their own life killing the dreams they dreamed.
Don't let that happen to you. Today is a good day to dream!

95% of articles.writings about or concerning the person of Susan Boyle contain the word "frumpy". Apparently, statistics are no respecter of persons.
