Thoughts on the Susan Boyle Phenomenon

The Susan Boyle Phenomenon: An average middle aged woman sings a song and the World Turns. Four months ago this average middle aged woman walked on stage and sang a song. She was thrilled when the judges informed her she was a finalist. She returned home to Blackburn Scotland. Suddenly she is hounded by Paparazzi, surrounded by children for autographs, sought after for TV interviews, and guaranteed a recording contract. All because of a clip on you tube.
There have been many that say it is spirituality regarding this phenomenon. Some have placed the world’s cynicism on this phenomenon. Some people call it the underdog syndrome. My view is a bit pragmatic.
The Susan Boyle Phenomenon isn’t about an ordinary woman with an extraordinary voice alone. The phenomenon that is occurring is about Susan, you, me, and current global humanity. The vast majority of humanity is quite ordinary, yet we are marketed consistently by others values of beauty and success. The ideal of unattainable achievement is eternal youth, flawless skin, an unrealistic perfect weight, expensive makeup, designer clothes, hair coiffure, and nails. We are waxed, painted, starved, exercised, and dressed to fit some one else’s image.
Then someone that doesn’t fit the unreachable goals set for humanity, comes in and boxes the ears of the Botox Plastic elitist world. Look at me, I may not fit your mold, but I have pluck and I have talent. Susan Boyle is the ear boxer and we, who are the majority of people in the world stand in cheering applause. This ordinary woman proves to us all that all ages, all sizes, all dreamers have a right to recognition and not just those elite few that are able to mold, Botox, and plasticize their way into the exclusive elite club.
That is the Susan Boyle Phenomenon; it is an ordinary woman that represents the world, not just a few. It is the world striking back in these dark recessionary times and saying in rebellion without blood shed, we are fighting your suppression. We are all ordinary people with talent. Some of us are extraordinary, and some us are not, but we are all special. Susan has become our symbol and we are shouting to the world.==Visit my SenseSword you tube at: The Susan Boyle Phenomenon: An average middle aged woman sings a song and the World Turns.
