I've always wanted to sing - but I never took the steps necessary to cultivate my voice. And even now, I wonder what might have been. My father, mother, brother and grandfather have exquisite voices - but when my voice changed from tenor to bass during puberty, I never recaptured the magic talent that is within me.
But all is right with the universe this day. Susan Boyle - a 47-year-old woman from Scotland, braved everything and pursued her dream. And no matter what may come, no matter what people say, I am in awe of her and I pray for her success.
Watching her audition is like watching the classic film "Now, Voyager" or "Little Voice" in the space of seven minutes.
I am cheering for you, Susan, Come what may, you are truly remarkable and eternally in my heart.
Sing on, sister. You are beautiful.

I have to admit, I did a little eye roll when she walked out, and did her hip thrusting, and thought here we go........ Freakshow.
But then she sang, and melted my icy heart a tiny bit.
I mean, she's younger than Madonna!!! So bring on the leotard and fishnets.
I was amazed, because I, too, thought Crazy was gonna sing, but then I just sat there, stunned!
Wow - I must admit to cringing when she was talking first up but once she started to sing that all changed - she's fantastic. Good luck to her.
God love her, she is amazing!
Small town girl from a small British village proves her mettle- the story could only get better if she comes out as a lesbian!
I've got to go touch up my mascara now.....
