Physical beauty is sure to fade, but
a truly beautiful sprit is hard to blemish. We have long been accustomed
to living in a world where beauty is primarily judged by outward attractiveness.
So no one was expecting to witness beauty when they saw Susan Boyle’s
appearance in Britain’s Got Talent
when she sang “I Dream a Dream”. Before she sang, both the audience
and the judges appeared to express skepticism based on her unpolished
appearance and awkwardness. In contrast, her vocal performance was so
stunning, she received a standing ovation from the live audience, garnering
yes-votes from Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden, and the "biggest
yes I have ever given anybody," from Piers Morgan. Her talent is
unbelievable and it truly is wakeup call to an appearance-obsessed society.
Susan Boyle was born on April 1, 1961.
According to the Chinese Zodiac, her primary personality traits are
ruled by the elemental animal sign of Metal Ox. That makes Susan someone
who can persevere on a path towards her goals regardless of the difficult
obstacles placed in her way. Although she tends to be very independent
and self-reliant herself, she nevertheless volunteers frequently to
shoulder the burdens of those around her.
Combining Metal with Ox yields one
determined person, and one of the strongest signs of the zodiac. She
can be like Atlas and carry the weight of the world on those strong
Ox shoulders, or she can be the bulldozer that knocks down every obstacle.
She is probably not always diplomatic, and could have more than her
share of personality conflicts. On the positive side, her tenacity and
sense of responsibility is unmatched.
The viral videos of her television
audition, subsequent interviews, and her rendition of Cry Me a River
recorded for charity in 1999 have been viewed or listened to over 100
million times on the Internet.
What is so special about this newly
famous lady lies in her naturalness and her confidence in her singing.
People love her for being who she is and adore her for being such a
role model in pursuing our dreams against the odds. Cowell is reported
to be setting up a contract with Boyle and his company label, Syco Music,
a subsidiary of Sony Music. Chinese Astrology hopes that her dream of
becoming a professional singer will at last be fulfilled.
