I loved this story and I also love your post. I think we all secretly root for the underdog because at times we all feel like the underdog. Susan is certainly an underdog. I love that Susan just showed us who she is. No made up, stylized glamor; just a gal with the voice of an angel singing about dreams. Wow. I love the thought of all of us just being who we are. I think we can all take a lesson from her. It doesn’t have to be about singing, but just doing what you love – and letting everyone else feel the joy.

In a way your comments on Twitter too speak to the heart as well – It is about things that matter and what we are thinking and feeling. It is also about fun and laughter. I think I get more good laughs reading tweets each day than from anything else. I know Twitter is changing as so many people, brands and organizations are joining the conversation. I hope I don’t lose that personal connection that for me is the heart of what I love about Twitter. Thanks for the great post.

Gene,

What a great post. I posted about it – talked about it twittered about it. The “it” being Susan Boyle’s amazing performance. And so I have to ask my self “Why?”

I think it was the “bitch slap” heard ’round the world.

The crowds’ jeering, laughing, eye-rolling, mocking, I-can’t-wait-to-see-you-fail, OMG you can’t be kidding………..and then, she opened her mouth.

SMACK! Take that all of you people who play it safe and are treading water in mediocrity.

SMACK! You want to see talent Simon? I’ve got it…whatcha gonna do with it!

SMACK! Dream. The song was about a dream………..wow……..what’s YOUR dream………

Thank you Susan.
