Susan Boyle - the sensation shocking the world

Hi all,

I'm here to talk about the sensation rocking the world right now - "Britain's Got Talent" Susan Boyle. Highly praised by the judges, ther youtube video of her singing has garnered 18 million views - and counting.

What was it that made her win so astonishing? As one blogger pointed out, she was not exactly the best looking lady. As she made her way onto the stage and answered the question, "Which singer would like to resemble most" with "Elaine Page". Everyone laughed then, for the beauty of her voice is just too great. 

In fact, I would like to do some soul searching, as many bloggers are. Was what made her win espsically stunning her innocent smile and her wondeful voice? Was the world surprised that a woman who is not exactly Miss World can stun the world with one song? Is this a sign of society that outer beauty has started to reign supreme over the simpler, yet morally more hauntingly beautiful and everlasting inner beauty?

This is just some food for thought. Here is the video of her singing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

I have to do this, because the embeding of her video has been disabled by request. But it's worth a listen. Furthermore, the song itself is beautiful as well. 

Cheers,

Darrel
