Susan Boyle: The New Image

Viral singing sensation Susan Boyle

As I was watching TV yesterday I noticed something.  Susan Boyle can look beautiful.  I always find it amazing.  They took a rather homely looking woman who could sing and made her look beautiful.  I mean no disrespect.  I too can be homely looking.  My amazement is in the fact that make up can do all of that.  I am not a person who often uses makeup.  I just looked at Susan Boyle today and thought that she has gone through quite a transformation.  I can only imagine that with all of the attention she is not only feeling exhausted but she must be feeling beautiful.

I must say that it makes me think that perhaps a little more often I should put on some lipstick and eye shadow and feel good.  Perhaps I should care a little more.  As mothers we all let ourselves go.  We say we do not have the time.  We say we do not have the money but perhaps if we all gave ourselves a half hour a day we would look and feel a little better in the end.  I think that I am going to give it a try.  I will let you all know how it goes.

Susan Boyle: A New Craze

BLACKBURN, UNITED KINGDOM - APRIL 21:  Susan B...

If you are anyone who watches television, surfs YouTube or listens to the radio you have heard the name Susan Boyle in the past week.  She is a craze that is sweeping the world.  I am so motivated by this story.  Perhaps it is because I am overweight and always cheer for the underdog, perhaps it is because she is a woman who would not take no as an answer in the past, perhaps it is the complete love for singing.  Either way I completely relate to her.

Susan Boyle sang on Brittan’s got talent last week.  Before she sang there were sneers and comments conming from the judges and the audience.  I personally would have cried and walked off the stage.  I guess that is why I am not the one we are all talking about this week.  Susan Boyle held her head up high and said she wants to be a professional singer.

From that point people began to snicker and be disrespectful.  Even the judges were sceptical.  They were down right rude!  Then Susan Boyle opened her mouth and began to sing.  The audience was shocked and I cannot even think of a good enough word to describe the judges.  I have NEVER seen Simon smile while someone was singing.  By the end he had to say that he knew she would be that great.  If he had said anything else he would have looked like he had no clue of his entire job.

I guess I am so excited for Susan Boyle because she showed people that we are all different.  Some of us have pretty faces.  Some of us have good bodies.  Some of us have the perfect hair and others have a great smile.  Susan Boyle has a beautiful voice.  She sounds better then then Broadway cast I heard sing the same song.  She is amazing and someone to watch!
