Into the depths of my mind...

mood: shocked

Les Miserables.  Les Miz.  When they talk about "historic" or "legendary" musicals, it's in the heap at the top.   If you haven't seen it, you should.

So, they have a show in Britan called "Britan's Got Talent"  Apparently they have a variation of it here in the states as well.  In essence its a new take on the Gong Show.

Enter Susan Boyle.  She's not beautiful.  She's not a model.  She's a simple, unassuming, ordinary 47 year old woman with a simple dream.  She wants to sing.

When she comes out they pan the crowd and the judges.  They all look ready to laugh.  This woman wants to be like Elaine Paige (wikipedia her if you don't know who she is. )

So she very simply says she's going to sing "I Dreamed the Dream" from Les Miz.  Simon says it plainly. " Thats a big song".  It is.
 
And her rendition of this song brought me to tears. 

Her performance is beautiful.  Soulful.  Tear-jerking.  Worthy of the song.

 I just wish it would let me imbed it.  Enjoy.
