The strange thing to me about this news story is this. If you think about it, why should we be surprised that this lady can sing well? Because she is not very pretty? What does that have to do with having a pleasant singing voice?
I get a kick out of shows like American Idol, because I can go to any church in Detroit on any Sunday and hear way better singing. :yes:
Math, I totally agree with you. I was on another message board and the thread was listed as ....Don't judge....just listen. I asked the lady what I wasn't supposed to judge?? She didn't answer so I asked again....her response....I don't know.The strange thing to me about this news story is this.

The thing that bugs me about this programme is that the MO appears to be - let's be shocked that someone who is unnattractive can sing, and then let them win this programme. Paul Potts and this lady can sing, of course they can, but are they the best at singing? Certainly not.
We already have Simon Cowell's X factor for the singing contest so why, again have singers leaping to the fore in this "talent" contest? I had rather hoped for more of an "old school" variety performance type show that encompassed everything but singing!
As great as the stories are, and these things are always won on the story rather than the talent, I just dno't think her voice is as great as it's being out to be. But i felt the same about Paul Potts.

What surprises me most isn't about the whole "shock at plain lady being able to sing" thing. The fact is, it's happened before. There was Paul Potts. So why is everyone still so surprised when another "plain-looking" person being able to sing well. It's basically a repeat of the story, so I have no idea what the fuss is about.
Oh well, it is television I guess.
Yep. Susan Boyle starts out pretty nervous and hits a few bum notes. But by the end of the song she kills it.Is the Cat's Midnight on the tube yet?
