We all dream of the 'Susan Boyle Moment' - when we walk out to meet the world, knowing what we can do, but insecure with the reception we will receive - the moment when jaws drop and people leap to their feet ecstatic that we did it well.

Susan Boyle brought tears to my eyes and sent chills through me. I've never had that reaction to someone singing a song. I hope Brits Got Talent facilitates her success. She deserves it. We are all better for having experienced her performance.
