I saw an excerpt from this on the news last night Krissy. She was stunning! God bless her. The song was so appropriate for her life and situation.  How perfect! How beautiful! Yes, it made me cry too...in a good way. The ugly duckling who was really a swan all along!

Brilliant, isn't she!  Excerpt from a Yahoo "Buzz Log" article:

"American Idol" isn't the only launching pad for aspiring singers. Across the pond, "Britain's Got Talent" scored a huge boost in the Buzz after an unassuming contestant gave an amazing performance.

Susan Boyle (remember that name) became a Web phenomenon after singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables. The performance brought the audience to its feet and left the judges (including Simon Cowell) either speechless or in tears.

Before going on stage, Ms. Boyle admitted some self-deprecating facts about herself (she's never been kissed and lives alone with her cat, Pebbles). For those reasons and more, audiences were expecting the female William Hung. They were wrong.

Lookups on the sudden star posted huge gains. A no-name just the other day, Ms. Boyle quickly surged into our top 5,000 overall searches. Blogs and gossip rags went wild. The Mirror jumped on the story, reporting that while Ms. Boyle thought she "looked like a garage" on TV, she received a standing ovation when she showed up at her local church.

Other sources write that as a child, Ms. Boyle was the target of bullies because of a disability. But, with her newfound fame, she is getting the last laugh. In fact, she's already meeting with officials from Mr. Cowell's Sony BMG label. This may have been the first you've heard of her, but it certainly won't be the last.

Wouldn't it be refreshing if just once they make a "star" of someone without making them over physically?  I'd love it if she declined to be made over in their image of what she should look like, and still got that first kiss.

  Did you know that most all sucessful people had one thing in common..someone gave them an "opportunity" when they needed it. As far as her looks goes, pluck her eyebrows and give her an different hair do and she'd change completely..you ever seen Oprah without her make-up session first, I did one time on TV and its spectacular what that make up can do for presentation. Some guy took about 15 housewives...looked mudane and dumpy looking for the most part, had their hair done, make-up, and dressed them in beautry pagent type gowns, they looked as every bit pretty as an ususal contestants. Let's hope she has good luck... and gets  going places.
