I have watched this YouTube piece several times now and I just can't seem to get enough. Like Piers says, this woman's performance of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables is stunning. As Amanada said, it truly is a privilege to hear that , and the faces that Simon makes are priceless. He is fun to watch when he is impressed.
It is such an incredible joy to be able to "hear" a performance like that. To be able to hear the pureness of each note, the accent and the dynamics she put into her presentation. Watching the YouTube piece left me wanting more and I will definitely be watching for more from Susan Boyle.
It also left me feeling, once again, very grateful for my bionic ear; for the advances that have been made in inventions and medicine that allow me to hear with this amazing quality. All I have to do to know the alternative is take off my processors and there I am in the silence. What a relief and a blessing that I don't have to live the rest of my life in that place.
The title links to a closed captioned version of Susan Boyle's performance so you don't have to miss the dialogue. The button to turn on the closed captioning is the arrow pointing up in the lower right hand corner of the video window. If you decide to take a look, I hope you enjoy the performance as much as I did.
My journey from hearing loss to hearing with bilateral cochlear implants.
I saw that live on saturday night, I cant say I heard it, but you could tell without hearing that she could sing. What a transformation in her posture when she started singing. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNever judge by appearances eh?
So true. My mother used to say, "Never judge a book by its cover." My mom had quite a few sayings that I learned to live by. That one really stuck with me.
ReplyDeleteNo, you certainly can't judge a book by it's cover.
