Susan Boyle: Britain's Got Talent

American Idol isn't the only game in town when it comes to finding hidden talent in the most surprising places. With all the talent and reality shows on tv these days, it's easy to shake your head as soon as you first see someone. First impressions usually make or break people on these shows and when 47 year old Susan Boyle took the stage on Britain's Got Talent, no one was expecting her to wow the audience, not even the judges.

When she walked out on stage, you could tell no one expected her to do well and when she gave a little hip gyration before she started singing, you could tell by the looks some people were giving her that they expected her to flop, big time. But she had the last laugh when she belted out a song no one expected her to be able to sing. Her performance was near flawless and her personality makes you like her right away.

When she started singing "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables, she was quickly rewarded with a standing ovation as well as shocked faces from the judges. Simon Cowell sat with a huge smile on his face as she sang. The audience stood and clapped as she gave an emotional performance and then started to walk off the stage when she was done.

The judges had to call her back to let her know how shocked they were as well as to tell her she received three yeses from them. Pierce told her that he was giving her the biggest yes he has ever given anybody. She was one of the few bright spots on the show that night.

Susan Boyle may have shocked the audience with her stunning singing talent, and her vibrant bubbly personality before her performance but according toYahoo! Buzz, she was the shocked one when her church gave her a standing ovation when she walked in.

Susan said she has always dreamed of becoming a singer, her voice was a stunning surprise and I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering how no one found her before now. You can't always go bye first impressions and this is a perfect example of why that is true.

The thing that people seem to look at first is looks, but this is a talent competition not a beauty contest. We will be seeing a lot more from Susan Boyle, her voice will be gracing the airwaves even if she doesn't win this competition.
