Kleenex moment: The YouTube video that got over 9 million hits [video]

Get your Kleenex out–no wait–get the whole box out! I balled like a baby. I know 9 million people saw this video but I didn’t, so I know someone else hasn’t seen it either.

This is Britains Got Talent. When Susan Boyle comes out, you see the judges and the audience laugh and mock her assumed ability. Until she opens her mouth. Remember Simon Cowell attitude about Jennifer Hudson? He chokes on this one.

Unemployed, 47 years old, never been kissed…What bewilders me is that she can’t understand why people are making a fuss and is still unsure she will win!!! This is SO INSPIRING.

Apparently, another unknown sensation blew the judges away on March 17, 2007–Paul Potts, a manager in a mobile phone warehouse.

In several interviews, Potts revealed that he performed Aida despite doctors’ wishes to remove an adrenal tumor they had discovered during his illness from a burst appendix, and performed Manon Lescaut shortly after the surgery to remove it. Potts broke his collarbone and suffered whiplash in a bicycle accident in 2003, which prevented him from pursuing opera as a career. The mishap and financial difficulties that followed led him to enter Britain’s Got Talent despite not having sung for four years. [Source]
