Watched Susan Boyle's audition video on Youtube just recently. That video really almost made me teared. It's really hard to explain, some may say that it's just nothing and we've seen many of such cases, some says it's overrated, but to me, it's more of being moved, touched and a huge sense of guilt. Watching Chen Wei Lian sing was nothing compared to this, no offence. It was a smack on the face, how we realised that we judge, and thus, are judged as well, by our appearance, our look. How we sometimes turned a blind eye to the person who had the finest heart, the greatest sense of righteuousness, the one that could just be the best of your friends. All because of a failed 1st impression, a misjudgement based on look, and we let just the biggest prize god had sent to us, to just slipped away.

If Susan had not stepped out, if her mother had not encouraged her, one day she might just be gone. When she does, who might have known that she sings like an angel? Who might have known that she carries such a wonderful gift. Who would have truly appreciated her the way she is.

This also teaches us a very important lesson, that our 1st impression is crucial, but somehow, almost contradicting, it also teaches us not to conclude base on just the 1st impression. So if we shouldn't judge by look. what for we go about trying to look good? Ironic as it is, they both seems to share a common relationship, telling us that as long as the day that man continues to like only the 'nice looking' stuff, then man will just have to keep trying to be 'nice looking' and the 'not so nice looking' stuff will just have to be shadowed. Susan had sounded the siren. For those who place great importance on looks, she is telling them to maybe just look a lil deeper into what is beneath. And for those who are afraid to emerge, due to the lack of confidence, the lack of a 'good-look', she is telling them to step out and show people who they are, and what they really are made of.
