什麼是美夢成真的感覺?

 Susan Boyle and Elaine Paige  (13th/Dec/2009)

純樸的Susan在英國選秀節目上直接的說出想要像Elaine Paige一樣, 當場讓所有人驚訝(不以為然的成分也不少)。

Elaine Paige 是現代音樂劇史上的重要人物, 擁有"英國音樂劇第一夫人"。出生於1948年, 年齡不小這是代表她的表演經歷也十分豐富。

Susan的爆紅的意義是什麼? 已經有太多人在討論了, 也不是我想說的重點。

人可以多靠近自己的夢想呢?

夢想太大會變成白日夢嗎?

Susan 曾經和他人說過自己的想法嗎? 又有多少人真的相信這個夢想是會被實踐的呢?

當一個素人.無業.單身.年紀大.外表不起眼的人, 就不該擁有那種在別人眼中是"奓侈"的夢想嗎?

有多少人能像Susan站在眾所矚目的舞臺上, 還能大聲的說出自己要的是什麼?!

面對質疑、不信任的眼神, Susan以本身的開朗.自信.樂觀.努力的人格特質去面對眾人；

看到上面的影片, 誰還能說, 作夢也要量力而為呢?!

I know him so well

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally,
Perfect situations must go wrong,
But this has never yet prevented me,
Wanting far too much,
For far too long,

Looking back,
I could have played it differently,
Won a few more moments,
Who can tell,
But it took time to understand the man,
Now at least I know
I know him well

Wasn't it good?
(Oh so good)
Wasn't he fine?
(Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness,
He can't be mine?
But in the end
He needs a little bit
More than me,
More security,
He needs his fantasy and freedom,
I know him so well

No-one in your life is with you constantly,
No-one is completely on your side,
And though I'd move my world to be with him,
Still the gap between us is too wide,

Looking back,
(Looking back)
I could have played it differently,
(I could have played it some other way),
Learned about the man,
Before I fell
(I was just a little careless) 

But I was ever so much younger then,
(Maybe, so much younger then)
Now at least I know
I know him well

Wasn't it good?
(Oh so good)
Wasn't he fine?
(Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness,
He won't be mine?

Didn't I know?
How it would go,
If I knew from the start,
Why am I falling apart?

Wasn't it good
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness,
He won't be mine?

But in the end,
He needs a little bit
More than me,
More security,
He needs his fantasy and freedom,
I know him so well,
It took time to understand him,

I know him so well.
