Having an online video streaming sites means we can watch anyone, anywhere in the world, on a show unavailable on American TV – in real time.
Susan Boyle, 47-year-old karaoke aficionado presented I Dreamed A Dream by Les Miserables on Britain’s Got Talent last weekend, has turned out to be a viral sensation in just mere days, garnering roughly 15 million views on her performance on YouTube. She spent most of her life taking care of her mother, who passed away recently. She said she was not given an opportunity to share her talents but now she can because of the talent show.
An interesting twist to this buzz is that the producers of this talent show have not yet taken down the YouTube bootlegs available as of the moment, despite having a half-decent video of her incredible performance on the Britain’s Got Talent official website.
Man, I tell you, she’s a super sensation that the whole world loves, it’s a global phenomenon. I mean, who doesn’t love her, maybe at first, yeah she’s not beautiful, she’s old, she’s fat but when she sings, it change things, it move things. She inspires a lot of people. Oh, and her performance is beautiful — so beautiful, in fact, all the judges apologized for giving Boyle such low expectations of her abilities, so as the audiences who taunted her, gave a standing ovation and a round of applause.

“The Shack”, a book by William Paul Young has stirred several of the catholic archdioceses on the topic of his manuscript whether it contained heretical contents or just a plain old fiction novel. In the book, it is issued by some spiritual people from the church which depicts the main protagonist, Mackenzie Allen Phillips, or much known as “Mack”, in the book exactly talked to God in the abandoned shack concerning his existence in life and God’s standpoint on his children, which of course meant, us. It also described in the book that God appeared himself as an African American Woman named Elousia, from which also, stirred a lot of racial issues.
The initial plot of this book is all about a person’s bitterness and query to God about particular things. In this case the character, Mack, whom his daughter, Missy was viciously murdered in an abandoned shack. Three years after the horrifying incident, Mack received an unstamped letter from an individual named “Papa”, influencing him to go back back to the shack for a talk from which he agreed and revisited the shack that eventually led his life to a sudden change he never knew.
Not only that this book depicts what some of the catholic devout as a blasphemous book that God is literally symbolized into a form of a African American woman named Elousia, it also said that this book also with this some of the other spiritual figure like the Holy Spirit, which in the novel was portrayed as a distinct Asian woman named Sarayu, which means “Wind”. Also, Jesus was discovered in the Young’s novel as a typecast looking Middle Eastern local that has a facial defect sporting a fairly big nose, as the author telling that Jesus being a fully, truly human. All in all, some of the readers have reviewed the book that it is dissimilar in the teachings of the church and in the bible, but if you are inquisitive enough to read it, you’ll find yourself puzzled on certain portion inside the book. I wonder what will Christian magazine react on this Matter.
