Susan Boyle

Susan Boyle's performance on Britain's Got Talent ought to be required viewing to all High Schoolers.

I didn't understand the hoopla until I watched the entire performance. It isn't her surprisingly outstanding voice. But it is her hidden confidence in the face of social attack. She smiled at the leering audience with a chesire grin as if to say "You sophomore's are in for a real surprise." She was, of course right.

She made us all feel very small, very judgmental. She made us all realize how unloving we can be. She has done more for spreading love than any person has ever done in 6 minutes.

Susan Boyle most certainly deserves her 15 minutes!
