This lady is 47 years old, attempting to sing on Britain's Got Talent, a stage which favours young and good looking talents. She is neither. Everyone pretty much thought she was a batty old lady, who didn't belong on that stage.
Then she decided to sing "I Dreamed a Dream". It's one of my favourite songs off the score of Les Miserables. A very big song indeed, and it defined her because she was looking to fulfill her dream of performing for a big audience. However, I was a little skeptical that she'd do it well. I was half expecting this to be some joke video. So was the audience, if you saw that girl at 1:50.
Well, you want to know how good she was? Check out Simon's face from 4:26 to 4:28. Have you ever seen Simon do that ever.
I am glad I saw this, because it really showed me the meaning of never judge a book by its cover. And I realise the incredible courage and self conviction that made this possible. Nobody had given her a chance, nobody gave her a chance even when she took her chance.
Everyone lives life for certain moments, and this was hers. She redeemed herself, and in that theatre a dream was fulfilled, while inspiring the dreams of a thousand others.
She didn't just sing like Elaine Page, she had an impact even Elaine Page wouldn't have had. How often do you see something like this. I don't know really. Bloody imba, thanks.
