I Dreamed A Dream

Britain's Got Talent blows me away again.

First they had Paul Potts in June 2007. Billions of youtube views. Million views within a week. Now 4 million albums sold worldwide. I have contributed to more than 20 of the views, and I also contributed to 1 album sale. Out of the 20 times, maybe I have cried close to ten times.

This time it was Susan Boyle. A 47 year old unemployed woman, no boyfriends before, didn't get a kiss before, living with her cat Pebbles. She sings in her church, she doesn't get a chance to sing, and she is trying to get employed, trying to get her chance in singing. Look at how the judges were talking to her and how the audience reacted, how they rolled their eyes when she said "I want to be as successful as Elain Page".

Look at how she awed the audience.

Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent 2009



She really has a good talent.
And for no good reason, I cried upon the performance. It's just simply you are touched by it, and for no other reason.

We are all just too cynical in life and the performance was a great wake up call indeed. Perhaps you don't know what you are capable of until you tried.

Keep dreams alive.
You may achieve something that you didn't even think of in the first place.
