As of Friday 17 April 2009, this video has 19 million views on YouTube and has dozens of related videos with view in the millions and hundreds of thousands. Incredible since this was first posted 11 April. Tens of millions of views in less than a week. I think this underdog story is just what the world has been thirsting for in our times. Could Susan Boyle's story be the remedy to a "depressed" industrialized world? Is this the beginning of revivals of Le Miz? Are Ballads going to be the next music craze? Is talent now going to be more cash friendly no matter the looks? It was instantaneous when you just knew the voice was special.
