Susan Boyle is in her 40s. She lives alone, with her cat, and says she has never been kissed. As a child, she was apparently the target of bullies because of a disability.

And then she went on reality TV in Britain. People were surely expecting a punch line, but probably not this one.

To say that she has a voice and a half seriously understates the case.

So, I cried when I watched this. At work. Twice. It was so moving, and to see those people at the beginning who were so fucking evil and derisive and judgmental, and then to watch them listen as she sang her heart out.

God. Getting shivers just thinking about it. It was so beautiful.

Yeah, I liked how they captured the audience too - maybe that was manipulative on their part, but I think it really was telling.

I hope she can get work in musical theatre, that would be excellent.

I loved with Simon was sitting with his face in his hands and he smiles with his eyes all dreamy.
