Susan Boyle - What can we learn?
She shocked the world they say. I wonder, how often do we not only judge too quickly, but wrongly?

Re: Susan Boyle - What can we learn?
I don't even have to watch it... I saw this earlier today. You are so right.
We judge so quickly these days. I started a thread a while back about the effect of talk shows & forums on our thinking (and many other areas as well)
We learn that we can make a snap judgment in one quick look or we can judge a situation in a 15 second blurb from one side of the argument...
I watched the video several times... not only to hear her sing again... but to look at the immediate and confident judgments that everyone came to on the initial sight of Susan.
They wrote her off.
I am glad she shared her talent with us.

Renda, what is the lesson?
I believe the three judges knew she could sing beforehand.
However, she is a great proficient.

I doubt that myself.
I would feel that it is a safe assumption that those 3 judges don't do any of the pre-judging if there is any.
On the show in the US that is patterned after this show there is no prejuding like there is on American Idol. Everybody gets a chance to try out. They might buzz you out in 10 seconds... but you get your chance.
And.. beyond that... there is a vast audience behind those three judges that learned a lesson in judgment that day.

I don't think they knew - - their reactions were too real.
If you don't know the lesson (even from the audience) then you don't need it.

Re: Susan Boyle - What can we learn?
The old adage, "never judge a book by it's cover" comes to mind.
What a talent, made me cry!

Re: Susan Boyle - What can we learn?
I also had already viewed this video clip earlier today when the news story showed up on some major internet news site.
I love these stories of people who are average in most ways, even strange or eccentric but who have an incredble talent that shocks everybody.
This woman is now in talks with BMG records about a possible record deal! She is 47, never been kissed, was made fun of as a youngster in school for a disability, etc.
Watching that clip earlier today brought tears to my eyes I was so proud for her.
Now if she will just get on one of those makeover shows and fix up a little!!!!!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
