I came across this video quite late, later than the 100 million odd people who have seen it that is. It is a clip from Britain’s Got Talent; a singer named Susan Boyle.
Without going into a rant on society, check how you perceive her in the first frame and the last. What is in between is a mirror.
Full video here.
I really liked Amanda Holden’s frank admission that everyone was being cynical of her talent from the way she looked.
P.S. : I don’t think I am on the moral high ground here either. I did judge her on appearance.

c’mon! when someone sends you a video saying “You gotta watch this!” and that too Britain Got Talent video…you’re most surely expecting something good..That itself spoils the surprise and hence the chance to be cynical!
Anyway it was a great performance!

@Vineet : To be entirely honest, the performance was good not brilliant. The sole reason I liked it and posted it was like I said, it was truly a mirror.
