蘇珊的抉擇 Susan's Choices: Susan Boyle's 3rd song in Britain's Got Talent

      During the final match of Britain's Got Talent on May 30, which song is the most suitable for Susan Boyle to sing? (蘇珊 · 波伊兒 ---- 胖姨兒?)
      People around the world admire Boyle's voice and singing skills. I believe, however, to create an instant sensation, the song plays an equally important part too. Remember that? The judge asked Boyle, "What's the dream?" Minutes later, Boyle amazed the audience with her angelic voice and sang, "I dreamed a dream." For the audience, Boyle did not merely recite the lyrics of someone else. She was telling her story of life while singing. The singing touched the audience's hearts instantly. And the rest is YouTube history.
      To impress the audience one more time during the final match, what kind of song will she sing? First, the song must be famous, well-familiar with the audience. Second, the song must come from a musical or an opera. She can demonstrate her singing skills and wide vocal range with such song. Third, the song will communicate her feeling with the audience. The lyrics will somehow reflect Boyle's circumstances, an unemployed, unloved, unimpressive-looking woman who is searching a break through to realize her dream.
      If I were Susan Boyle's manager, I would have her singing "Don't cry for me Argentina". Pay attention to the lyrics.
