Susan Boyle - It's About Time

The minute I heard about Susan Boyle I rushed to YouTube to hear the most beautiful noise on the planet.
Thank you Susan Boyle for giving us hope for all our dreams and for providing, as one of the judges on Britan's Got Talent said, a long overdue wake up call. Nothing is ever as it seems.
In the old studio system in Hollywood, extraordinary talent like you were hired to sing for the stars who lip synced the tunes and took all the credit. Our pop culture tendencies to turn out cookie cutter mediocrity needs a jolt of what a real star is. I know you're headed for a makeover soon, they won't rest until they've put you through the camera ready car wash, so enjoy the pampering and attention. The world is watching, and it's a priviledge. "You're my thrill..." - a line from a Joni Mitchell song.
