If you haven't heard of Susan Boyle, you haven't been surfing the Net much of late. Hating all things reality-tv-related, I was loath to ride this train. However, after reading articles in both the electronic and print media, I finally gave in and watched her sing on YouTube. You should, too. Do it and do it now.
Boyle's TV moment has spawned a fan site that is astonishing in its true grassroots fervor. She also has some bloggers going on key-tapping binges. The Huffington Post gushes all the time and it was there that I learned of the fan site. She has also served as an effective tool with which to poke the mainstream entertainment industry. She has been (yet another) tool for how youth-and-beauty obsessed we are. Some said, Ich bin ein Boyle! Some have even speculated, "What if she couldn't sing?"
She can. And you should simply enjoy her joy in so doing.
