A few days ago I came across a blog called AFrogToKiss[dot]net and found a post about a lady named Susan Boyle … Susan Boyle, now I had seen that name and I knew she was a participant in a televised British talent search. Also, I remembered that at one point, I had made a mental note to find out more about this woman. Well, I lost that note … but after reading a very emotional piece by Beth, this time I immediately followed thru and YouTube’d her name and subsequently became ensnared in the SusanTailSpin. That spin left me emotionally high, enraptured by a performer and a performance which could only be describe as ‘charismatic’.
Her rendition of ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ which in the words of Amanda was nothing less than a ‘privilege’ to experience, was riveting. This Lady is both unassuming and unpretentious, that is until she sings and then she becomes this dazzling beacon that leads wayward souls home. And the songs that she chooses to perform are timeless, thought provoking and moving pieces.
And quite obviously, I am not the only member in the YouTube audience that has fallen prey to the charm of this ‘gentle spirit’ whose voice never fails too deliver a mesmerizing message and from the staggering number of views her vid’s are receiving, those numbers simply confirms the spell her music has woven. Give Susan a Song and she’ll weave it into MAGIC.
This story has the makings of a fairytale, and I can’t wait for the next chapter. Each time I view a video or hear her sing one of the songs that was performed in the competition, I smile a smile that completely engulfs me. Yep, this is truely a story that ‘dreams are made of’ …
