Susan Boyle - A reminder to never judge a book by its cover

This is what our parents and teachers have been trying to teach us. (At least that is true of my generation, I am not too sure about the current crop of teenagers.) I am not saying that I am a saint and never judges a 'book' by its cover, but I hope I have proven that I am not so quick to dismiss one based on its cover alone. Though of course, this does not negate the fact that an interesting cover draws more attention than otherwise?

Please do watch and consider, truthfully, would you have reacted the same way the audiences and judges did before she started singing?

p.s. if you haven't seen it yet, there was another surprise package a few years ago in the form of Paul Potts.
