Secrets

Cow is mesmerized by Susan Boyle's performance on Britain's Got Talent, as apparently, are Simon Cowell, the other judges and around six million viewers in the last few days.

Cow ruminating on this resonance...the apparently dowdy oldster pulling a world-class voice from beneath her sweater. The mild-mannered man hiding his James Bond abilities; stereotype computer geeks hiding great computer power, bland-appearing Shadows, Batmen.

If tax audited, having master's level accounting knowledge; when advised of needed repairs, replying with encyclopedic mechanical knowledge. When challenged on the road, under-powered, gas-saving 4-cylinders: transformed by the push of a button into flying death machines. Superpowers lurking beneath average Topiary.

More Susan Boyles surprising the cynics with what they have under the hood. Cow thinking this is what everybody wants, and why Ms. Boyle is our wish fulfillment, at least for today.

I've had my mother banging on about this lady. I may have to swallow my principles and watch a bit of the show to see if she's as good as I'm told.

Once again people seem to be surprised that someone who does not meet society's benchmark for "good looking" can actually sing. As though a sweet voice can only live in the body of a "model".

It is right up there with the shock that young people express when they find out the anyone over the age of forty has sex.

Hello Cow! Susan Boyle is 47; that is not an oldster.
I am older (it was my birthday last week hemhem) and Kevin knows that I have sex with a bad man called Lord Numb. It is Numb who has been stealing Kev's quota.

Susan Boyle's voice could possible be the vocal equivalent of the visual experience of Daniel Craig coming out of the water on the beach in "Casino Royale."

Both are breathtaking!
