Britain's Got Talent/Awesome


Awesome Moments in Britain's Got Talent include:

  • In April 2009, a dumpy, overweight, single, unemployed, 47 year old woman named Susan Boyle appeared on Britain's Got Talent, stated her ambition to become a professional singer, was laughed at by the audience... and then she started to sing. Within seconds Piers looks like the sun's just risen for the first time in years, Amanda's jaw is on the floor, and Simon's melting all over the judges' table. One of the most moving renditions of "I Dreamed A Dream" that has ever been performed.
    • The music starts at 1:46 into that clip. That clip, however, contains both the pre-singing snarky anticipation, and all the reaction shots of the judges and the audience being totally mindblown afterwards.
    • There has got to be a trope for someone like her. Someone who looks all sweet, clueless, and dorky and not very interesting, and then bam they do something that totally WTFPWNs everyone in sight. Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass, perhaps? Certainly no one will ever underestimate her again. Talk about not judging a book by its cover! And she knew precisely what was going to happen. That little smirk on her face right before she opens her mouth to sing is just screaming, "I am going to blow these suckers' minds, and it is going to feel damn good." You go, girl!
    • Maybe we should create a page, like Crouching Suck Hidden Awesome...?
    • She got a standing ovation twenty seconds after she started singing. Twenty seconds, and she's already proven herself to the world. Damn.[1]
