Don't judge a book by its cover!

By Amarissa

Susan Boyle, an unemployed, 47-year-old woman from the village West Lothian. is one woman who surely beat the odds. Up to a few days ago, she was just another simple and unsignificant woman living with her cat. She has never married and has never even been kissed. She is not even pretty nor sexy, nor fashion, she is just plain. Boyle lost her 92 year old mother two years ago. Before dying, her mother asked her to defy those who never saw beyond her appearance and march against them with her most powerful weapon: an angelical voice. Her story had a most remarkable ending when she shocked Simon Cowell on 'Britain's Got Talent' and became the most unlikely reality TV star ever! She has made headlines all over the world and her YouTube video has been seen by over 5 million people in just a few days!
When Boyle walked on to the stage for her audition on 'Britain's Got Talent', she got an eye-roll from Cowell and the audience. After she unleashed a perfect rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical "Les Miserables," she left everyone on their feet. She received three perfect scores and is the early favorite to win on the hit reality TV series.
It is wonderful to see, at a time when looks and fashion are such determining factors for acceptance and success, that someone as common and humble as Susan Boyle can become an instant star!
If you haven't seen her performance, check it out, it will bring tears of joy to your eyes and will remind you that life can be fair, sometimes!
