In the days before hype, when art was really art, literature really literature and music really music, people performed with no glitz and glamour or electronic adjustment to their voices. What could be more wonderful than a small person with a fabulously beautiful interpretation of lyrics, singing on a stage with a voice that moved millions and continues to do so to this day? No flashy clothes, just a simple black dress. No effects, only the person, her heart and her song...such was the wonderful Edith Piaf:
Edith Piaf 'Milord'
Perhaps we are returning to such an era of loveliness in the emergence of Susan
Boyle, and perhaps that explains some of Susan's well-deserved success. No glamour, no glitz or sham - just a person who sings from the heart without being manufactured by the entertainment industry - and such an incredible voice and interpretation of lyrics touches something so deeply within us all.
