Susan Boyle-Over Night Fame

Lately one of the most popular YouTube videos is titled Susan Boyle. This is a clip from the reality elimination show Britain’s Got Talent. This is Britain’s talent show which would compare to our American Idol. Simon Cowell judges this show as well.
Susan Boyle was a contestant on this show. She is a short and stout, homely 47 year-old. She is currently unemployed and looked rather out of place when she stepped out on the stage. As she made her way across the stage in front of the judges you could hear snickers in the audience and people rolling their eyes, thinking this was going to be a joke.
She performed I Dreamed a Dream which comes from Les Miserables. As soon as she opened her mouth the whole crowd was still and drawn. Simon had a look of shock and awe on his face as he had to double-take to see if her talent really was what it seemed. Sure enough it was and it was so great that Susan Boyle received a standing ovation from everyone in attendance that show.
The judge Peirs told her, “"Without a doubt that was the biggest surprise I have had in three years. When you stood there with that cheeky grin and said 'I want to be like Elaine Paige' everyone was laughing at you. No-one is laughing now, that was stunning. I am reeling from shock".
The other Judge Amanda agreed, “"I am so thrilled because I know everyone was against you. We are all so cynical but that was a complete wake up call. It was a complete privilege".
And finally, the famous statement by Simon Cowell, who played everything off as if he knew what was coming, he said, “Susan, I knew from the minute you walked onto the stage that we were going to hear something extraordinary and I was right".
She had yeses from all three judges and can compete in the next round.

Party Dad

I am going to write about my favorite show Jon and Kate Plus Eight again. Jon Gosselin, the father of eight children, has been in the tabloids a lot. They show him partying and try tell readers that he is cheating on Kate. This is easy for them to do because Jon is young and did miss out on this stage of his life due to the surprise of eight kids.
I have found lots of articles saying this is not true. He said he is just like everyone else and has lots of male and female friends and just because he is on TV it’s bad that he is out in public with a female friend. He also realized that being out late with them was poor judgment on his part and makes him feel extremely bad for what state it is putting his family in. His family is the most important thing in his life and it kills him to see these allegations hurting them.
This incident happened April 18, when he arrived at Legend Lounge in Pennsylvania, near the couples home. Kate was in Bellevue, WA promoting her new book “Eight Little Faces: A Mom’s Journey.”
The alleged incident involving the “mystery woman” occurred a few weeks before TLC announced Jon & Kate Plus 8’s fifth season will premiere on May 25.
This incident followed an alleged February incident where Jon was seen partying with college girls at a Huntington, PA, bar that is located three hours away from the 1.3 million dollar home his family recently bought.
While at that bar, Jon reportedly met some girls from Juniata College, who invited him to a house party where he played beer pong.
I feel bad for Jon because he was too young to have so many kids. He missed his glory days pretty much and now he cannot do the things he is craving because he has a huge family and to make it worse they are taped by a camera crew pretty much every day of their lives.
