Whoever said that grandmas can’t be cool has definitely been proven wrong. Eighty-year-old great-grandmother Janey Cutler wowed viewers out last week on the British reality show “Britain’s Got Talent.” Although the judges were initially skeptical of her talent despite her endearing accent and delightful chuckle, Cutler had everyone in shock from the moment she opened her mouth to belt out Edith Piaf’s “No Regrets.” Soon the entire audience rose to its feet to cheer, and even Simon Cowell broke into a wide smile. While Cutler has been considered to be the next Susan Boyle, I contend that she will be even more popular. She is just too adorable.
