Susan Boyle Vs Diversity!

I followed through the Britains got Talent! This is because I simply enjoy Les Miserables song- I dreamt a dream- and I supported Susan Boyle. I admire her courage and confidence to pursue her dream. She isn’t glamorous nor has elegance or beauty but she has an angelic vocal and admirable courage that causes her to become my idol. She turned out to be 2nd despite her improved stage performance and outfits. She lost to a dancing troupe-Diversity. I should say I had to take my hat off to this united dancing group. Not only did their unique and stylist chorography win the judges’ and audiences’ applause but also the team work that made them win champion! I kept repeating the two You Tube video to analyze the reasons for Susan’s defeat. However I can only conclude that although Susan didn’t win the title, she gained a lot of supporters’ hearts especially brought pride to her little ‘kampong’-Blackburn, Scotland.



I had learnt some lessons through this issue too-

Susan Boyle- Her relatives and friends and supporters in Scotland shared with the news reporters that they didn’t even call to vote for her as they thought she was the definite winner, surely the title would be win by her! In real life, there isn’t anything for sure that you will win. You put in your best in everything you do and hope that you will gain glory, but in actual fact, luck plays a part too! I had a very sour experience during my Inter-school Tennis competition when I was in Primary 4.I was leading 5-1 during the match with a so-called greenhorn, according to my personal coach. Thinking that I would bring pride to my beloved primary school and win the match and get them into semi-final, I started to play recklessly and this greenhorn, a neighbourhood school player, had a very strong fighting –spirit in him that he turned the table around and defeated me by 5-6!
I think Susan would have a bad night, like me, before. Life moves on and I learnt an ‘expensive’ lesson - never be too complacent in life! Blessing in disguise, I picked up golf and I got to meet lots of young and adult golfers from all walks of life, sharing the same hobby and most importantly, get exposed to lots of scenic courses.

So Susan Boyle, although she had lost the competition and did not have the chance to perform in front of the Queen of England at the Royal Variety Show, I believe she has already made her name. The next stage will be Broadway! She will be earning cold, hard cash in Broadway or London theatres.

Winning team Diversity are a 10members dance troupe aged 12-25. Their act won praise throughout the competition. TEAMWORK and UNITY helped them to win the title. It also reminds me of our class-1P1. We are ranked 2nd among all the 15 classes in Term 2 announced by Mrs Giam. This is due to all of our teachers’ contributions and our hard work. Lets continue to strive harder and live the 1P1 spirit!
