Thread Name: A Most Heartwarming Performance-Susan Boyle
Subject: RE: A Most Heartwarming Performance-Susan Boyle
I am crying a river after listening to song of same name. Think I am not going to be able to cope with seeing and hearing this Susan anymore.   

Makes me miss my Andie. She was a big girl (unlovely to some) with the kind of stage presence Susan boasts. One might think the voice is so startlingly good because of the surprise. One doesn't expect that power and skill from anyone who does not fit a prescribed physical aesthtic.

I know that Andie used to get sniggers and derision when she climbed the stage early in her high school years until she started singing. By end of sophomore (2nd) year the audience would shush each other when she came out.

There is just something in Susan (as was in Andie) that radiates love of what she doing and the desire to share it. In effect she makes love to the audience.
