The UK reality show Britain's Got Talent continues on, with the latest episode last night. You may recall her first performance of "I Dreamed a Dream" that has become one of the top 5 viewed videos on YouTube worldwide. I blogged about the real message of Susan Boylea few weeks ago and recevied e-mails from people from across the globe. The unlikely superstar Susan Boyle performed a second time, singing the iconic and popular "Memory" from the Broadway musical "Cats". She had a shaky start on a few notes but she quickly found her voice as her confidence kicked in and raw talent shone through once again. The Susan Boyle charm and incredible talent propelled her to the front of the competition. The winner will be announced next weekend on Britain's Got Talent; I'll keep an eye out for how she does. In the meantime, check out her newest performance from last night's show:

It's been weeks since Susan Boyle exploded on the scene from her appearance on the UK TV show "Britain's Got Talent", yet she continues to hold the fascination of people across the world. Unless you've had your head in the sand, it's not likely you don't know her story. Susan Boyle is a woman of enormous talent who has been hidden away in a remote area of Scotland for years. The amount of attention she has garnered is a testament to both her own talent and the power of today's Internet. Perhaps equally significant is the voracious appetite of the general populous for this story. For several months, people have read news of an unravelling world economy, mounting job losses, financial scandals and general uncertainty. And yet a story of a Scottish spinster in a singing contest captured the hearts of people worldwide. It reflects our need to feel good about things. We want to hear happy stories, especially when good fortune reaches the unexpected. It's not dis-similar to the periodic stories of a working mom with three kids living in a trailer who hits the lottery and wins twenty million. Everyone loves good news. And why not? It's important to feel happy. In my mind, the Susan Boyle story has underlying messages that tug heart strings on many levels. Whatever the emotion, embrace it and spread a little sunshine. Pass along some kindness, show compassion to others. Stop short of being judgemental and cruel. Build people up instead of tearing them down. And most of all, keep the faith because hope springs eternal.
