    Have you watched this video yet?

    It's from a TV show we have in our country where normal people audition and show their talent on stage. It's called Britain's Got Talent.

    A woman from Scotland came to audition. People were laughing at how bad they expected her to be.

    Watch the rest. It's very inspirational -

    It's also had 30 million views in only a week, with other videos having millions of views too. So she's one of the most viewed people on youtube of all time after only a week.

    See what you think and let me know :)

    Similarly that Welsh lad from Swansea, 12 year old*, he had an astonishing voice on him last night - I just find these kind of acts really inspiring, first Paul Potts, last week Susan Boyle, who must be rather bemused at becoming the hottest subject on earth lately, and now Shaheen Jafargholi* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmnIfG78g7E&fmt=18 - not to mention too, Flawless a dance group from London http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GrOMLylvhQ&fmt=18

    All of these unsung artists on Britains Got Talent are just FANTASTIC!

    Wish all of them long and happy new careers.

    Yeah, the way she presented her self, hair style, clothes style..made her look awful...everyone expected her to be awful. When she sung, geeze everyone was shocked. I'm happy for her though, shes been looking after her mother all her life, most probably had it hard.

    heard that she was given a contract with a recording company.
    I am curious, if they or her manager decides to fix her look, will she be so popular ?

    She is becoming a house-hold name, She has appeared on Larry King and Oprah. I don't know if she will slowly die down and become a L-Grade celebrity but who knows, Good on her for getting out there. The original YouTube Video got 2.5 Million views in less then 72 hours from when it was uploaded.

    If she still has an incredible voice I don't see why appearance matters :)

    I saw this when it was on, brilliant to watch.
    Nobody expected her to sound like that.

    And this makes it another example of how the superficial and physical appearance of oneself doesn't correlate with intelligence, personality, talents. We can probably list quite a few popular very good looking singers who just... can't sing.


    Mikey: Great video, it's been all over the news here (Canada), around the blogosphere and Twitter.

    hope she wins now, she's a worthy winner. She's humble and led everyone to believe she was crap she didn't big it up that much.

    God bless her, she deserves all the attention and so much that she is getting. Her voice is truly incredible.
