She Dreamed a Dream

It's the end of the road for Susan Boyle in Britain's Got Talent, the show that turned her into an overnight sensation worldwide (thanks also to the technological wonders of YouTube). I think I know why we love her so much- beneath the homely exterior she had authentic talent and great personality. She does not fit the cookie-cutter image of a modern day singing sensation (i.e. gorgeous face, cleavage, stick thin figure, and of course- youth), but we all secretly root for the underdog. Even though the immense pressure got to her the final week of the competition, I don't think her singing career will end here- who knows, this might even be just a beginning.
