Two years ago, an average-looking (to be modest) Paul Potts strode to the stage of the show Britain’s Got Talent and before a silent, unbelieving audience stunned the world with a masterful rendition of Puccini’s Nessun Dorma. The former cell phone salesman now travels the globe giving concerts.
This past week another Potts-like performer strode to the stage, but instead of silence she was accorded open boos and cat calls based solely on her frumpy (some would say ugly) looks. the rendition of I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables instantly turned boos into applause and transformed 47-year-old Susan Boyle into an international celebrity. Reportedly, Simon Cowell himself is now working on a contract for her.
Watch it all here and share in her joy and accomplishment.
