She Dreamed a Dream

I'm definitely one of the crybabies who shed tears watching Susan Boyle on YouTube (it's genetic--my mom would cry at touching Coke or Hallmark commercials!).  And so now I'm humming that tune from Les Mis and hoping that (and I'm not sure how "Britain's Got Talent" works) she wins the contest and gets to be her own kind of Elaine Paige (for you non-Broadway babies, she was the original London Grizabella in Cats).    It's a nice reminder not to be judgmental or cynical, to those judges and to all of us in the audience.  

Dream the dream, Susan!
