Hope you like this and rec it all around to give this lady some serious props. If you (or someone you love) have ever had a weight problem or self-esteem issues, rec this diary for Susan Boyle!!!
I don't have much time to write a regular diary, but this story just took my breath away. Susan Boyle just wow'd Britain's "American Idol" equivalent. Even Simon got into it! This is a very, very special moment for anyone who has battled a weight problem or self-esteem issues. I am proudly past that part in my life, which is why this story makes MY heart sing!
"American Idol" isn't the only launching pad for aspiring singers. Across the pond, "Britain's Got Talent" scored a huge boost in the Buzz after an unassuming contestant gave an amazing performance.
Susan Boyle (remember that name) became a Web phenomenon after singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables. The performance brought the audience to its feet and left the judges (including Simon Cowell) either speechless or in tears.

We've all heard great talent on both the US and UK versions, but this one is different. She was so unassuming she even tried to walk off right after assuming they wouldn't like her talent.
Before going on stage, Ms. Boyle admitted some self-deprecating facts about herself (she's never been kissed and lives alone with her cat, Pebbles). For those reasons and more, audiences were expecting the female William Hung. They were wrong.
Want to know what all the fuss is about? I was in tears after I read/watched this. I know what is like to be not taken seriously because of a weight problem.
Watch, listen, and learn...

As many are saying, Susan is having the last laugh - Simon's label is already discussing a record deal with her. I am certain a kiss and a makeover are right around the corner for her, too.
WAY TO GO SUSAN!!!!
