What I love about the Susan Boyle video is that it forces us to confront the reality that our initial impressions can be way off and it does so in a most heart-warming way.<br /><br />You rock, Susan!Elainehttp://wisewomencoffeechat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475652659521783747.post-30584797847133053872009-04-16T20:42:00.000-07:002009-04-16T20:42:00.000-07:00I love this story.I love this story.the mama bird diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248352454666306821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475652659521783747.post-85361426397422722342009-04-16T20:07:00.000-07:002009-04-16T20:07:00.000-07:00I sobbed while I watched her sing and I couldn't f...I sobbed while I watched her sing and I couldn't figure out why - was it because I was afraid I would have judged her by appearance, was I just thrilled that she showed every one and blew them away?

Like I said on Twitter, if she was a stereotypical "hot chick" she'd be just another good singer. It's because people thought she looked "laughable" that they were impressed that she could sing. Everyone who laughed should feel ashamed.<br /><br />Good on her, for having the guts, after growing up with a learning disability and being bullied, for getting up there and singing her heart out.KrisMrsBBradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14988742743150495260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475652659521783747.post-9698550794726623792009-04-16T15:19:00.000-07:002009-04-16T15:19:00.000-07:00I stumbled over here from Mama Bird's blog and wan...I stumbled over here from Mama Bird's blog and wanted to say "hi" before I admit to crying like a baby over Susan Boyle. <br />I liked her immediately, for all the reasons you stated AND I was so happy to watch her blow Simon and his sneering cohorts away!<br />Go Susan Go!!!shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17522348931524449221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475652659521783747.post-24907226594261238522009-04-15T19:23:00.000-07:002009-04-15T19:23:00.000-07:00Incredible.
