Never judge a book............

I don't know the reason for my self imposed exile from writing ...The lack of new ideas ,the absence of anything 'eventful' in my rather dull ....ordinary.. social life,and the never ending fiasco i call my college has added to the monotony.Just sick and tired of college and way things are run there . But am not writing this to whine about anything .The inspiration behind this post is the rather extraordinary life changing performance on a reality TV show called "Britain's got Talent" by a 47 yr old unemployed single lady ,with shabby clothes and grizzled hair going by the name of Susan Boyle .
She comes on stage. The expressions of the judges and audience leaves nothing to the imagination what they think of her ....when she declares she always dreamt of being a pop star....... She isn't blessed with good looks...... She has never even been kissed... When asked what age she was.... she says 47 ..and with a gyrating movement of her hips (!!!) cheekily declares "But thats only one side of it " .
The judges give her a sarcastic go ahead when she says she wants to sing "I DREAMED A DREAM " ..the les miserables classic..........Now ,to be fair to them up until this point i myself was one of them ..... thinking this woman to be another joke. I mean .......like....... Come on dude !! ....... How can a 47 year old nobody ...who looks like THAT ever deliver a good show . This was to provide a good comic relief i figured .
Then she signals for the music to start and from then onwards what followed was a masterclass in the most refined,impassioned singing one shall ever see . A sobering experience for the viewers . A lesson for our cynical minds . A reinforcement of the age old adage of never to judge a book by its cover . It was the "ROCKY " moment ........The "ISTANBUL" (football lovers will know) moment of reality Tv. Even if this lady never sings another tune in her entire life she has achieved greatness .
This extraordinary show by a previously 47 yr old nobody epitomises what's important in life . Her genuine nature has won over the world in those 4 minutes of fame. She had the the cynical crowd and the judges purring with delight at the end of her song... a standing ovation from the once cynical audience and 20 million views in 6 days and counting .... the angelic voice ... the honesty ..... and a message to the world......
