I’m not a big fan of American Idol. So many of the people who appear there have so little talent. I believe Idol’s biggest lure is Simon Cowell’s blunt judgments.

Every once in a while, though, something amazing happens. That is what was captured in this video. Even if you don’t see it live, it is exciting. Watching the audience explode to its feet is terrific.

This video captures the act of Susan Boyle. It’s not American Idol; rather it’s the very similar Britain’s Got Talent. I have watched this video several times, as have millions of others. Boyle’s voice, her obvious talent, are simply stunning. She will no longer be an unknown.

If you haven’t seen this video, you’re in for a shock. And if you have, you’ll enjoy seeing it again.
