Paul Potts and Susan Boyle have made me cry, so here they are on our blog. Watch and listen. Even better than the performances is seeing the faces of the audience and judges (these are both on Britain's Got Talent, if you haven't seen them yet...) change. In both cases, judgement and condescension is replaced with disbelief, glimmers of awe, happiness. Thanks, Paul and Susan, for helping to wake us up.
Here's the New York Times on what Susan means to us, with a mention of Paul as well.
UPDATE, 4.19.09: A great article on Huffington Post about why Susan makes women cry.
