If You Haven’t Already Seen This…

…You’ve been living under a rock.  Susan Boyle is creating a storm around the world!  Twitter, YouTube, and TV stations all around the world are broadcasting Susan’s story.
I had seen the name Susan Boyle in someone’s status on Facebook...  Curious, I Googled her and watched the video above in amazement with tears rolling down my face.  Honestly, this was one of the best thing’s I’ve seen in a long, long time. 
Firstly, I thought she was such a cutie and such a sweetheart when they interviewed her in the beginning and she talked about how she’s “never been kissed!..but it’s not an advert!”.  It was so.. charming!  Then when she went on stage I felt so bad for her because I couldn’t believe that people were laughing and giggling at her.  I felt like saying…can’t you see that she’s normal?!  She’s not some psycho little cat lady (ok maybe she is a little cat lady but she’s not psycho).  I figured anyone could tell by the way she conducted herself that she was just a sweet person with a sense of humour!  Honestly, when she said “I’ve never been given a chance before, but here’s hoping it will change!” I already had tears in my eyes.  Yea, I am a very emotional person and I cry easily but it just breaks my heart to see people get made fun of.  I fully know how she feels.  I was bullied when I was a kid (my confession of the day hehe) and when I see people who just have this innocence about them get “dogged” on I feel so sad. 

I’m super duper glad that she rocked the house.  She’s a strong cookie for getting up on that stage, because so many people give up on their dreams.  The determination in her eyes right before she started singing was inspiring.  I can’t stop watching this video.  It just sucks that people judge others so fast…not everyone in life has to be overdone and glossed up.  I think Susan is beautiful, I’m so in love with her right now.  I hope she makes it big and becomes successful, but overall I hope that people will take a little more time out of their lives to appreciate all humans.. and not judge someone that fast!  How often would you just walk by a lady like Susan Boyle on the street without even noticing her?  When did we all become so superficial?  I’m going to do a bit of soul searching and watch the video mmm fifty more times!  You guys.. do some soul searching too..don’t let the power of Susan fade away.  We should learn from this…1.) NEVER. GIVE. UP. ON. YOUR. DREAMS!!!  2.) Don’t judge a book by its cover.
ONE MORE THING – Simon is so freaking cute when he smiles.
