For any of you who've ever listened to people tell you that you couldn't do it, that you weren't good enough, or pretty enough, or whatever... go watch this. If it doesn't bring a tear to your eye... check your heart.

Her name is Susan Boyle. She's not pretty, she's not skinny, she's not a snazzy dresser. But she's got enough heart, and enough courage, to put herself into a situation where she knows she's probably going to be ridiculed in front of a large live audience (not to mention the people watching on TV and/or the internet)... and to throw their ridicule right back in their faces and make them eat every bit of it.

Susan, you'll almost certainly never read this. But I'd like you to know that I think you've got a lot of class, and heart... and my respect. My hat is off to you.

Check out this one. She sang that 10 years ago and whoever didn't give her a recording deal needs to be kicked in the shins.

PS: ignore the photos, just listen to the music.
