Susan Boyle

I got this video from YouTube. I can't stop watching it, it makes me happy.



I watched it with Hadlee and when Susan walked out on stage, she said, "She is so beautiful." I wish we were all like little kids sometimes, without preconceived notions about what really is beautiful. I love this video so much because the judges and audience were so cynical when they first saw her and had no idea that they were in the presence of greatness. I love their reactions when she starts singing and how quickly their critical expressions turn to awe. I had seen pictures of her and didn't believe it until I heard it either. I am going to try to be more child like in my judgments of people, we are all great in our own way and I want to start seeing that before anything else.

I agree.. I love how children view the world. I have watched that video a few times myself.

I also wanted to let you know that your comments on my blog are the most ridiculous things ever. :)

I like this one, but I still like my He-Man singing 4 Non-blondes the best. I think that should win everything.
