I've watched that video of Susan Boyle singing on Britain's Got Talent several times after Peggy of Meggie's Musings posted it on her blog. I just can't seem to tire of hearing her sing.
I sent it to my son, Jon and he sent me the link to last year's winner, Paul Potts. Apparently, Paul has gone on to record a couple of albums.
I loved it all but something bothered me. I didn't like Amanda last year calling Paul a "lump of coal" or "frog." I also didn't like her saying to Susan Boyle, "Before you sang, everybody was against you." I don't think everybody was against her. I was smiling to think this everyday lady from a small town was getting to sing prime time. Piers just said something about, "When you were standing there with that cheeky grin...." I don't know.... I suppose both Piers and Simon say these things, too but it was just Amanda's comments I latched on to this time.
Still...It just didn't sit well with me. It must be a first grade teacher thing. I just didn't like it.
But I did LOVE Paul and Susan.
