Ordinary people ...

... can do eXtraoRdinAry things.

I can't embed {this YouTube video} of Susan Boyle singing 'I dreamed a dream' from Les Mis on Britain's Got Talent 2009, but it's worth clicking and watching.

Seeing things like this always makes me teary-eyed.

Every time I hear Paul Potts sing Nessun Dorma I still cry. If you haven't seen his 1st appearance on Britain's got talent in 2007, {click here to view} his amazing performance.

I like when humble ordinary people living normal lives, trying to plug along and do their best, share their talents - whatever it may be - with others. It's inspiring to me!

I LOVE THIS! I believe that no one is 'ordinary' everyone has 'extraordaring' in them! Great post!

I really do know how to spell 'extraordinary'!

Wow! I love watching things like that-I too get a little teary eyed. Very moving. Thanks for sharing!

I get teary eyed every time I watch it too. And this style of music isn't my favorite either- but it was just remarkable.

I got the embed off of some random youtube wannabe sight- out of UK...I had to search a while to find it. I am sure they will find it sooner or later and disable it as well.

I love both of them. Like you, I get emotional every stinkin time I watch. It shows you never to judge a book by it's cover.

WAY worth watching! Wow. That was amazing. Did you notice there were over 39,000,000 views of that video?! Incredible. And the Paul Potts one is fantastic as well. Over 47,000,000 views on that one. Wow. No big surprise why!
