Susan Boyle - a Cruel REALITY

As with the rest of the WORLD, I too was amazed, moved, astonished and uplifted by the dynamic voice and presence of Susan Boyle. Are you noticing the real issue? It's all about me or you, the audience. The truth is, as is the case with any celebrity it is always about entertaining the audience, after all that is the definition of ENTERTAINERS. So what is the issue with Susan Boyle?


The answer is really quite simple and one that has been repeated consistently in all branches of entertainment. The individual is not prepared. Not prepared for the instant notoriety. Not prepared to take over the No. 1 rating spot. Not prepared for the Paparazzi, not prepared for those who are suddenly compelled to intrude upon their space or feel obliged to make personal comments. The truth is ..... the public, press, media producers and TV Executives will not change. However, Preparing Reality show stars for the potential impact is within their capabilities. But then again, why would they stop a train wreck when they know what that will do for the ratings.


Question my perspective? Do these names mean anything to you - Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears,Dennis Rodman, John McEnroe, Princess Diana and the list goes on and on. But at least these Celebrities had some warm-up before getting into the limelight. They were experiencing different levels of fame as they moved forward with their careers. But not Susan Boyle ... and this is the Cruelest Reality of all!

Having said all this ... I am still really glad I was able to hear her sing. Yup, I am a fan and I thank you Susan Boyle.
