Courage & Talent

I just saw a video on YouTube titled "The Greatest Video On Earth... Ever". I thought that it was a very courageous moves on the girl post a video of her singing, where she is probably well aware that it will raise some attention. I don't know how to explain her situation or her disability and I would rather have people have looked at the video to see for themselves. I wonder what was going through her mind when she posted the video. Was she thinking that she can do it and she is not shy? Did she do it for recognition? Was she trying to make a point? I guess the next question is how did the audience took this video or message. It was undeniable there were numerous if not all were just pure evil and those who sympathize felt as though they were sympathizing for a the wrong reason. They pity her because it is the right thing, and believe that it is wrong to make fun of her. I do not think that there was any innocent post to where "They go good job! Nice!" without thinking to themselves "WOW!" as in bad wow. People can mask this true response but I don't feel content seeing a fake pity. It's true that by posting her video on YouTube will just raise some immaturity and concerns, but I think that if one is to reply or make a comment about something it is better not mentioning anything. I seriously believe that if the girl who posted the video was trying to make a statement I really think that she failed. I think she needed something more serious and she did not take her audience into consideration. Sure YouTube can have unpredictable viewers but the video itself did not have a focus it was just her singing a No One by Alicia Keys.
