I guess after watching Marley and Me last weekend, I’ve been loving these sappy, tear-jerking stories (although this appears it will have a happy ending unlike that poor dog).

I’m a little late on this, but since this is primarily a hip-hop blog, I’ll take my chances on the fact that many of you haven’t seen it either.

No need for a formal introduction, as that is taken care of in the video, but be sure you actually let it roll until she starts singing, as I assure you this is no joke.

CNN is reporting that Simon Cowell is already working on getting her a record deal. Amazing.

Peep the lyrics too. The song selection just makes this performance that much more remarkable.

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.

And still I dream he’ll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather…

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I’m living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
