Yours is the most profound and wonderful comment made here.

We have become a society which has been trained from birth to look at and evaluate the worth of people based on their exteriors. God looks at us as a parent and sees only beauty.

Sometimes He sends down one of His angels in an attempt to teach us that simple lesson. We are all Gods children and beautiful in his eyes...as Christ said, "for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." Need I add the beautiful and the "ugly?"

I think one reason we tear up is we see our on injustice in judging Susan Boyle by her outward appearance.

"I think one reason we tear up is we see our on injustice in judging Susan Boyle by her outward appearance."

Yes, I hadn't thought about it before, but I believe you are indeed right. In each of us, even in the atheists, there is an innate understanding of justice and somewhere deep down we know when we have been unfair to judge another.

You could also literally be right about Susan being an angel sent to teach us. I would not be at all surprised.
