Keep That Dream Alive
I wrote a piece on my The Comedy Mentor page at MySpace not too long ago about dreams and what they have to do with Stand-up comedy.
I saw this clip and it couldn’t drive home the point more clearly. Watch it and you’ll understand what I mean. This gal went on to win although everyone laughed at her and didn’t believe she could do it.

47 Year old Susan Boyle wows the judges with her performance in the auditions for Britain’s Got Talent, singing I dreamed a dream from “Les Miserables”. A Wonderful Song Sung by Susan Boyle… The Audience was laughing before starting the song… after the song the audience were silent, with smiles on their faces and judges gave her 3 Yes’s!
Lyrics:
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame.
And still
I dream he’ll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather…
I had a dream my life would be
So different form this hell I’m living
so different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
So, whatever your dream may be, don’t ever let anyone try and steal it from you. It is God-given and you deserve to have it. Go For Your Dream!
Cheers, Smiles and Success,
Crazy J
