I couldn’t retrace the circuitous route that led me to this gem if you paid me, but trust me, the view is worth it. Susan Boyle, a 47-year-old spinster from West Lothian, Scotland, will convince you that dreams can bloom in the unlikeliest of places. Miss Boyle sang “I Dreamed a Dream” on Britain’s Got Talent, and there’s nothing I can say that’ll do it justice. Be sure to watch for Simon Cowell’s (!) big sigh at about the four minute mark.
