Hidden Talents

It seems Britain's Got Talent is providing a lot of hot news recently. Each week we've had a surprising talented person emerged out from this country.

The first was Susan Boyle. Millions of hits in Youtube to watch how her performance was during the show. Yeah, I agree she had an amazing voice despite her looks. That says it all. I still don't understand why people are so hyper about it. Yeah yeah.. We all judged her by her looks and condemned that she was a lousy singer until she opens up her voice. Sure, she had an amazing voice. And that's all about it! There are so many talented singers out there who can sing and act in the broadway lah, but also same as her who is waiting for a chance to get to perform. So, there's nothing to talk so much about.

Then a week later, Shaheen Jafargholi performed. 12 year old boy who sang exceptionally well when he was given another opportunity by Simon. But this talent was not as huge publicized by the media as Susan.

Another week passed, another contestant wowed us again. 10 year old ballerina, Hollie Steel who had an amazing voice as well. She was again misjudged by Simon when he wanted to stop her dancing until she opens up her voice.

I must say, Britain had a lot of hidden talents. They really sing so well but wasn't given chances to break into the commercialized music industry. Way to go, Britain! Continue digging up hidden talents in your country. Look at Leona Lewis from X-factor, how successful she is.
