The other night I was broadcasting with DJ Remedy (Drew) on Justin.tv and we were having a call in show where people could call in and sing for all of our 600+ viewers. We discovered that many of the Justin.tv members have absolutely no talent, including ourselves!

Thankfully the callers that were no good were not the only callers. A great singer named Steven Shega called in and sang some Josh Groban and The Fray! Enjoy these clips made from the show.

I don’t like to make blog posts about reality tv shows, but today I flipped on the news and saw a story about someone auditioning for Britain’s Got Talent. Her name was Susan Boyle. When she first came out on stage, everyone including myself were thinking wow, what a joke. But to my surprise and everyone else’s watching, she was an amazing singer. Watch the video below:

She was really happy, it was true joy. But do you know why she auditioned for the show? Here’s an interview with her: (Sorry for the low quality, it was the only version of the interview I could find. You can view a transcript of the interview here.)

Here is the news story I saw with Brian Williams, NBC Nightly News about Susan:

I had insane chills after watching her preform, and I’m not gonna lie I almost cried. We need to keep in mind that talent does not require a perfect body, or a perfect face. It’s not all about looks, age, or size. It’s about talent.

Let me know your initial response to Susan’s appearance and then her performance in the comments.
