Britain's got talent

I was extremely disappointed after watching Susan Boyle's audition for "Britain's Got Talent". Don't get me wrong. In no way did her performance let me down. But, the audience's reaction, or judgment rather, was extremely disappointing. Before hearing her performance, the camera rolled over the audience as they laughed and rolled their eyes in unison. The entire audience expected the worst from Susan Boyle. It really hurt to watch Susan stand up on stage and I prayed that she didn't acknowledge their rudeness. How horrible are we? She is standing up their trying to achieve a dream, which is close to being lost because of her age, and people look down on her because of the clothes that she is wearing and her bubbly personality. If she has received that kind of criticism every time she auditioned, I am thoroughly surprised she keeps trying, but extremely thankful. She sang beautifully while making the entire audience feel guilty. Boyle sang a song "I Dream a Dream" from "Les Miserables", which was more than just a song, it was the story of her life.

I would have liked to include the audition that was available on YouTube, but the embedding option has been disabled. So here is the link. Take a look, you won't be disappointed.
