What is the appeal of Susan Boyle? Is it that she is "one of us"? She is humble? Shy? Unassuming? Why has her performance on Britain's Got Talent, been viewed over 25 million times on YouTube?

Boyle gives all late bloomers hope that we still have a chance to realize our own dreams. Want to be a singer? Run a marathon? Invent a flying car? Watching her, we know it's not too late!

Will the media mania, the pressures for a "total makeover," and the hungry maw of commercialism overwhelm and destroy what makes her such an affecting singing sensation?

Would Boyle still possess that "inner beauty?" Would we still acknowledge that the derisive treatment she received before performing was callous, insensitive and cruel?
Letty Cottin Pogrebin | Posted 05.17.2009 | Entertainment
Susan Boyle steps into the spotlight and opens her mouth, and before she's sung three glorious, crystal clear notes, the audience is cheering, the judges' jaws have dropped, and I'm choking back tears.
