While I was watching some entertainment news last night I saw this clip about a 47 year old Scottish woman named Susan Boyles. She tried out for Britan's Got Talent and wowed the judges, included Simon Cowel.
Well, on a whim in a moment of bordem today I decided to google her and have a look at her song. It popped up on YouTube and has had 20 MILLION views in under a week.

I watched it out of curiosity to see what the buzz was and I was so shocked to find myself crying. I can't even pinpoint why it made me cry. It was something about her "sweetness" and her total unphased simple personality. She gives you something to laugh at in the beginning in her little pre interview because she's so witty. When she takes the stage she is actually booed as soon as the crowd hears her age. It doesn't even bother her and she just starts singing. She shuts the crowd and the judges right up in about 2 seconds into her song. When she is done she simply walks off the stage and has to be called back. She is just SOOOOO completely lovable and you want her to succeed. I couldn't help , but to share her video. LOL

Josh and I just watched that yesterday, or maybe the day before. I love her too! She's just such a sweetheart and everyone makes this snap judgment about her. She's not pretty, she's older, single, has cats, and giggles... she must be an idiot or something... no way can she actually sing. But, they were wrong! I think the female judge said it best when she told Susan that she had just taught them all a lesson they'd not soon forget. I laughed after she was done singing and she just giggled and said "BYE!" and started walking off the stage haha.
By the way "You've Got Mail" was on Bravo last night and it made me think of you :)
