I thought that Susan Boyle was amazing on Britain’s Got Talent. Her performance shows that everyone has a gift or talent, weather it is to sing, dance, play sports, act… The only thing left for us to do is to find it and get the chance to show it. As Susan Boyle said, the only reason she has not become a successful singer after forty-seven years is that she has not had the opportunity to show her talent to the world. I was amazed and surprised after watching that performance because like it has happened so many times before we judged her by her age, appearance and size although now I know it is so wrong to do so. At the beginning, everyone in the audience was laughing without taking Susan seriously. This was because of her appearance, but when she started singing, everyone stood up clapping loudly, all shocked and surprised by her voice.
I believe that when you have a talent, you are born with it. If you have a dream and believe in yourself, I believe that your dream will come true with some hard work. The You Tube video I watched of Susan Boyle had thousand of hits and in my opinion this is because people like Susan give hope to others. This clip is watched around the world not only because Susan was amazing, but also other people watch it to give them hope in accomplishing their dreams. I found Susan as an inspiration.
There are so many similarities between the clip and the poem written by Langston Hughes. The Dream Keeper explains the importance of dreams, while Susan Boyle’s dreams had just come true. The fact that Langston Hughes wrote “that I may wrap them in a blue cloud-cloth” suggests that dreams are precious and extremely important. Susan got onto the stage confident and sure of herself even when everyone else was laughing at her. This takes courage, but in the end she was an inspirational hero.

Well expressed Lukas! I agree that those clips make you feel ashamed to judge by the superficial outer appearance of clothes, size,age,brands,possessions. Both clips I agree are inspirational and I too believe that is why they have proved so popular. We all love to see the most unlikely or humble of people succeed. They offer hope to us all in pursuing dreams.
