I am not much for network television. Too often I have missed tremendous performances by average people who would likely be overlooked by others. I have enjoyed these individuals who performed on either Britain’s Got Talent or America’s Got Talent. These individuals have taught me to not underestimate the beauty that often lies hidden within others. Enjoy these performances by extraordinary people.

Susan Boyle on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009.

She sings “I have a dream” from Les Misérables (a favorite of mine). Check out her biography on Wikipedia and the musical career that followed this break-out performance.

Richard Goodall on America’s Got Talent in 2024.

He sings “Don’t stop believin” by Journey. Check and see if he has a Wikipedia page yet to share his humble story.
