I totally agree with jollygoffer, Susan Boyle is the most amazing woman I have seen in good while.  Some people have put her down and many more have applauded her efforts. I don't understand how people can be so cruel, but.. that's  the human race for you.

  I think Susan Boyle is an inspiration to women from all walks of life.  She has the gift of bringing a smile, a tear, a cheer to me and being an inspiration to many people. I just wish I could meet her and let her know how much SHE has influenced my life.  So, she didn't make being the winner,  she is a winner in my eyes.  That's the real prize. I hope her all the best in all that she does.  Best, Melanie  Calvert Benton
