I could hardly keep a dry eye as I watched Susan Boyle sing and I’m sure many of you will feel the same way. The immense light and power that came from this woman was enough to knock everybody in the crowd out.
Susan is a contestant on Britain’s Got Talent, a talent search similar to American Idol. There’s Simon Cowell as a judge and you just expect him to make the meanest comments, especially in the case of Susan Boyle.
But this video (if you haven’t already seen it) is of a woman, who against all odds defied everyone’s preconceived notion of her.
The message here is strong. Don’t give up on your dreams and no matter what anyone says, you have the ability to outshine and wow everyone.
When times are tough, I like to revisit these inspirational stories. They mean a lot to me and I want to share this one with you.

Please let me know what you think of the video.

It just goes to show how peoples initial perceptions can be so wrong.
I LOVE this video. I have watched it more than a dozen times. Each time, the tears still flow.
Now I know that not only do dreams come true, but they can happen in a way that far exceeds what the logical mind would believe.
1.) Her video, now viewed 35 million + times, has been viewed more than President Obama’s acceptance speech
2.) Her idol, Elaine Page, has expressed interest in recording with Susan. Elaine Page, is “The First Lady of British Musical Theatre”. Bio at http://www.elainepage.com/biography.html.
3.) This woman who has never been kissed will have her FIRST DATE with Piers Morgan, one of the judges from Britain’s Got Talent. He asked her out on Larry King Live!
Her FIRST DATE? Dinner in London with Piers!
I believe Susan is changing the energy of the entire quantum pool with her story — and I am in awe of her journey!
AND her voice!
You go, Susan! And hold your center — your life is about to be a wild ride.
WOW! This beautiful warm lady, singing about having a dream, and living it at the same moment. I'm still crying with utter joy at her dream that is NOW.Thankyou Susan, for being you whilst experiencing the dream. xxx
Most people love a special story where the “plain Jane” or “Plain Joe” turn out to have the soul of an “Angel”. Best of everything to her.
But, I’m sure this was all calculated by Simon and the other producers. They had to have known she could really sing great before she ever got near the cameras. These people have to try-out, that’s no secret. And Simon Cowell knows the music biz and good promotion. Let’s not kid outselves.
I just hope she can withstand all the “sharks” in that business. And I do mean: it’s a business” first, not art!
wow i had tears in my eyes too,big time haha amazing filled me with such happiness
I is good to see this happen to a nice lady, She was ready to bring her inner being out and show us the way.
All the best to her towards her magnificent future.

This video means so much to me, because some of us sometimes feel inadecuate in some situations and don’t dare to dream. Susan is so talented, I admire the way she kept with her dream even though everyone laughed at her. This is a beautiful lesson to all of those who did not have the sensibility to feel respect for her judging her by her look. What an extraordinary surprise!!!!
I love her and with great admiration, she is amazing. Don’t judge anyone by their looks. She is a beautiful person inside and out. YOU go Girl…..

I’m so glad that Susan has her foot planted firmly in the door to where ever and what ever she sees beyond her tomorrows but what makes my heart sing with pure joy is the look on the crowds face. Not before she began to sing but after. Did you see the hope in their eyes? Did you see the thoughts of “maybe i can” glowing from their lives?
Susan’s life has been a journey and as far as i know its lead her to this place – but the magic of it all, is the way this part of her journey has ignited someone else’s life adventure (and she may never know it; a thing that doesn’t even matter).
We doubt others so often because we doubt ourselves. I know i do.
My hope is no longer for Susan – its for every one she has inspired by continuing on in her life the way only she can. Wonderful really… and i guess, if she can so can I.
The barriers in my family relationships are starting to melt away and we are enjoying each other for the first time!
I had heard so much about her .. but never had the time to see the video .. I just did.. and I cant believe it .. It brought tears to my eyes.. she is such an inspiration .. so very good to have something simple as a person with a dream and a voice like an angel in this modern age ….to inspire millions of people.
I listened to the Susan Boyle video and I thought it was amazing. I’m not one for tearing up but her voice left me drained emotionally. I’ve only heard it about fifty times and each time I tear up. I can only hope Susan can find her dreams.
