Susan Boyle. If you haven’t seen the video of this woman’s origins, then
check it out here.
A woman, who people didn’t think much of at first because of
her looks, amazes the crowd with her amazing voice. She puts well known and
snarky judge Simon Cowell in his place with a beautiful rendition of 'I Dreamed A Dream' from Les Misérables. That audition also moved her
onto the next round of Britain’s Got Talent and into the hearts of the many
people who watched her sing.
That was back in 2009. After having a slight mental break down and a makeover Susan is now somewhat of a B list celebrity. She has singing career and performs around the world. She also recently has set to put out her own album.
However, her B list status does not protect her from grade A twitter failure. Even Susan Boyle needs a PR crew, and hers must have been asleep at the wheel when they let her tweet this lovely number.
Ah, the power of caps lock. What was supposed to be an album party quickly changed into something very different. They tried to fix it, they really did, but the damage was already done.
That's the danger of using social media. Every single tiny bit of information you put on there is then instantaneously available to the whole world. And most of the time there is no taking it back.
This critical error found Boyle once again the target of ridicule. Hopefully it will last only as long as it takes for her to perform again, and her amazing voice can make people forget about her mistake.
Also, maybe her PR team will look more closely at their hash tags next time. Well, lesson learned I suppose.
Don't just look before you tweet readers, also look before you has tag.
