Reply #11: The video itself is a very compelling, well-told, compact Cinderella story

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

There is a fine hand at work with that video. The set-up, the intro shots of her, her charming geekiness in her interview on stage, the reaction shots of the crowd thinking "this frump? no way", the first notes of her song, the reflexive surprise and awe that sweeps through the crowd, the judges faces, the backstage Rosencranz and Gildenstern( I just love those 2 guys!)the FANTASTIC rendition of the rest of the song and then the awesome final response. The building of the story arc was just perfect.

And voila! We have the entire world's new sweetheart underdog. Her story is worth a full length movie.

Cheers for Susan Boyle!
