Thoughts About Susan Boyle: An Inspirational And Charismatic Singer.

Mr. David Francis, one of Susan Boyle's most dedicated fans, has again written a brief article about his thoughts of how Susan must have felt years ago and how she continued on with her dream of becoming a professional singer in the face of all obstacles.  Of course we know how that turned out, and what an inspirational song Susan sang at her audition on BGT.  David is so articulate and has an affective way with words when it comes to Susan.  I know he brings tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat when I read the thoughtful and caring comments David writes on Susan Boyle. Thank you David.

Some Thoughts: The most hauntingly beautiful sounds that are ever heard are created by those whose souls have been tested in the crucible of cruelty. Take a long look into the childlike eyes of Susan Boyle in photos as a child and later as an adult and they will show that she passed through that crucible early and often in her life. Then listen to the soulful sounds that come out of her mouth (Return, Wild Horses, You Have To Be There, Hallelujah, You'll See, etc) and see yourself brought to your emotional knees every time. That's the real power of 'love'. She took it all for decades, right up to and including the sneers and jeers of thousands as she stood on stage that fateful night, and then she opened her mouth and 'loved' her enemies (detractors) to death. Prejudice had trapped them all and she knew it. So, with a little wry smile she opened her heart and her mouth and brought the thousands present to their feet even as they were emotionally falling to their knees from that power of forgiveness and love coming from inside of her. She had trapped the guilty and then set them free all in the space of a 6 minute audition that night and in the end showed the world the visible image of "hope" when there wasn't much hope to be had in those dark days. I know it's true because she did just that for me at a time when I needed it most. God Bless You, Susan Boyle.
