My Favourite Moment of 2009

by Graham Davies

My favourite Presentational Moment of 2009 actually lasted about 5 seconds. That was how long it took for someone to prove that what comes out of your mouth and how it comes out is more important than your age, your background and what you look like. It was a moment that has brought joy and hope to millions of people....and Superstardom for Susan Boyle and her cat.

She clearly still has serious personal issues. But they are the sort of issues than can be worked on quite effectively when you've got a few million quid in the bank.

Some commentators have moaned that she is no longer the "real" Susan. They say that her new look and vitiality are merely a Corporate Creation.

But look at the photographs of her from 30 years ago, when she was a vivacious and attractive teenager. That was the real Susan. Her real triumph is that she is now presenting herself in the way that she should always have done, for the last 3 decades.

She has become what she was meant to be. And if you are feeling a bit down about the way you are presenting yourself in 2010, have a look at that You Tube clip.....and see if you can watch it without breaking into great big smile.
