Finally a Feel Good Story

I was wondering how long it would take before this hit CSR...

Go Susan go...
 
I think I've watched that video about 10 times this week. This really is an example of how the book cover really doesn't reflect the content. She has an amazing voice. It's wonderful to see a talent that has been dormant and unrealized for so long finally find a way to be shared and appreciated. This is such a validation for her, and it must be such a blessing to find a way for her to finally be able to share her gift that was only marginally realized for 35+ years. (I think she began singing when she was 12 and is currently 47).

This is really an example for us all. If she had the "total package", she would have been singing professionally a long time ago. Shame on you and all of society for not recognizing my masterfully developed talent on the kazoo also. : )

A little background...

Boyle is the youngest of nine children and lives in Blackburn with her ten-year-old cat, Pebbles.

Boyle suffered oxygen deprivation during birth, resulting in learning disabilities. Her classmates teased her because of this and her appearance. Oxygen deprivation is a rare complication of childbirth, but is associated with both developmental delays and an increased risk of cerebral palsy.

Early on she received some professional voice training in Livingston, Scotland but she stopped her pursuit of singing to look after her sick mother, who died in 2007 at the age of 91. Her performance in the regional finals of Britain’s Got Talent was the first time Boyle had sung after her mother's death. Boyle stated in The Washington Post that she entered the contest at the behest of her late mother, who urged her to "take the risk" of singing in front of an audience larger than her parish church.

From a charity CD made in 1999 of which only 1,000 copies were made...

this one is even better

if it turns out to be like the Paul Potts win a couple of year ago, she's got a lot to look forward to.
