Is Susan Boyle the Essence of Talent?

It never ceases to amaze where inspiration can come from or where talent can be found.

I'm sorry but I never thought that Simon Cowell would be the key that opened a door to inspiration but if you've joined the five million and growing YouTube hits on a woman named Susan Boyle, you know what I'm talking about.

Turns out there is a show over the pond called Britain's Got Talent. You've seen the American version here or heard of it or ignored it.

So, yesterday 47 year old Susan Boyle steps onstage, not a exactly an American or British Idol, until that is, she sang. She performed I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables and absolutely blew away the panel, the audience and anyone who's seen her since. Both Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan were blown away by her "extraordinary" performance.  Also on the panel Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, again people I don't associate with inspiration unless Demi has inspired you to flatten your abs to the shape of a smoothed out bedsheet.

I digress. Susan Boyle became a YouTube star last night, though I wonder if she'll go farther than that. Here is a woman that for 47 years lived alone or with her mother with that God given voice and now she's been heard in all her glory. Her 91 year old mother died a couple years ago and this never married, never been kissed woman, decided in a promise to her mother that she would make something of herself.

I've always rated most of these shows to TV carnivals. "Come see the strange and the occasionally popular"... but this woman sang with the voice of God.

And isn't that what talent is. We all have it to some degree. Let that light show. Do not be afraid. Do what you do. Show your talent. Find your voice, your moves, your very soul and you will connect with your creator.

What, you think we were created to sit and watch reality TV?
