Excellent

Okay, I might be quite late, on the whole thing, but in case you haven't heard of it, you should go and check it out. Unfortunately, due to the lack of skills with the computer, I really really cannot put the clip up here. so you'll have to check it out for yourselves. I'm talking about Susan Boyle, the singer on Britain's Got Talent. She's apparently 47 and comes from a village or something in Brighton.

Personally, I think that yes, her amazing singing, really proved that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. At the same time, think about it. If she had even a smidgen of doubt in her mind about her voice, she would not have tried out. Why do i say so? Well because this is BRITAIN'S Got Talent, not America's Got Talent, or American Idol. I think that the Brits are, like Asians, modest about their own abilities and downplay them. They don't think that they have great voices, when in fact they don't, unlike so many of those who auditioned for American Idol over and over again. I mean, think about it, why would you want to put yourself out there on television, just to get shot down almost immediately and be laughed at, unless you are quite quite sure that you HAVE some talent. So in a sense, i think Simon was not being an ass when he said that the minute she came out, he knew something extraordinary would happen. Because i mean, if she wasn't great, she wouldn't have tried out, because brits can be quite brutal. Actually, I think people in general can be brutal. so yeah. Anyway, go and check her out. Bloody amazing i tell you. Not much else for me to say. so bye!
