Sing like no one can hear you

It takes a lot to surprise me!  I very seldom see or hear things that take my breath away anymore.  This morning I was pleasantly surprised to see and hear something that did just that.  Took my breath away and made me cry.

I was going through my emails this morning and had openned most of them when I came to one from my mom.  I had looked at it a couple of times and it had an attatchment to Youtube and I don't very often open them.  For some reason, this time I did. 

The video that I saw blew me right out of my shoes.  On the video, was the equivalent of America's Got Talent, only in Korea.  This young guy came out on stage and started to answer questions about his life.  You see, in Korea you have to answer questions about your life and family on the applications form( not sure if that is part of what you have to do here).  They asked him questions that brought out the fact that this young man had no family, had lived on the street selling gum and sports drinks since he was FIVE years old.  He slept anywhere that was warm and covered (toilets, doorways etc).   He was ridiculed and abused from the time he was very young.

He had seen a singer in a club where he had been selling things and had fallen in love with singing.
He said he did not sing very well and had only had a couple of lessons(only took them when he could afford it), but he loved to sing because of the way it made him feel.  He then took a step back and what came out of his mouth was the most beautiful thing I have heard in some time.  He sang from his heart.  He sang because he loved it.

When he started to sing, the faces of the judges said it all.  The audience went wild.  The judges began to cry.  He had the most beautiful voice and sound.  One of the judges said that she wanted to pay for voice lessons for him, so he would continue to sing.  He was put through to the next round.  I hope that he wins and becomes like some of the well known singers that we have seen here.

The video is on Youtube for anyone to watch.

When you love to do something, it does not matter what anyone else thinks.  Do it because you love it.  Do it often.  Make yourself smile.  Like the saying goes, "Sing like no one can hear you, dance like no one is watching".  You are what matters, no one else.
