I had dismissed the story when I saw bits of it on the morning news as just another sappy "feel good" moment that I certainly wasn't going to get sucked into. Boy, was I wrong.<br />But you know, the one thing that bugs me as this story plays over and over again on all the news and entertainment programs, is that when they tell her age, it's like she's SO OLD she can't possibly be serious. Maybe not even talented. She's 47, almost 48. Just like me. Was I supposed to have hung it up by now? Am I crazy to be starting a new career at this point in my life? Of couse not. I've never felt that my AGE might be a hindrance to my aspirations until all this talk about Susan Boyle and how OLD she is. I'm not usually super-sensitive or even very easily offended, but this story (or, more specifically, the way it's being delivered) has really gotten under my skin. <br />And speaking of skin (and hair and wardrobe) I do hope that she doesn't succumb to the idea that she needs some kind of "Hollywood-style makeover" now that she's "famous". Her "real"ness is the best part of her charm.<br />Thanks for letting me take up so much space! Hope you're having a Happy Thursday!Tracy Watierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173203339834757559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-48163280157346423222009-04-16T11:10:00.000-04:002009-04-16T11:10:00.000-04:00There are tears on my keyboard.

This is the first chance I've had to sit quietly & watch the whole thing & WOW!<br /><br />Nothing more to add here except that I totally agree with Amanda's comments about it being a huge wake up call for everyone. I couldn't take my eyes off her, & I think she has great beauty in every possible way. ALL POWER TO SUSAN!!!<br />Millie ^_^Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408461724832141163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-49403241585536287422009-04-16T02:20:00.000-04:002009-04-16T02:20:00.000-04:00What an incredible opportunity for someone so gift...What an incredible opportunity for someone so gifted.
