Susan Boyle for real?

In all seriousness what the hell is with all the sensationalism with this mono-brow want to be Susan Boyle? There are literally hundreds of thousands of opera, club, bar, choir and karaoke singers in this world who could have matched the performance of this lady.
As far as I can tell Pavarotti was no oil painting, Amy Winehouse is pushing the limits of a walking carcass and Aretha Franklin doesn’t quite cut the mustard for me either but they have all had successful careers. With just these few examples any simple-minded individual can decipher that ‘looks’ has absolutely nothing to do with vocal talent.
The occurrence of these jaw dropping performances is happening far to often to be a totally unplanned phenomenon. Secondly, the speed in which these performances ooze onto You Tube seems to good to be true. When it looks like a trick and it smells like a trick, she a dirty rotten trick….. oh umm sorry marketers out there. This is an impressive subliminal marketing campaign that has drawn out millions of new clients from around the world, Bravo!
Wake up and smell the coffee you jaw dropped, applauding dribblers!
I for one feel that you are attacking Susan just as you & your readers have attacked me. It is just the tall-poppy syndrome & I am tired of it!!
I tend to agree with iamasmartman. You are attacking this women for no good reason other than you think she is not very attractive. Can you not just sit back and enjoy the quite obvious god given talent that she possesses and not try and ruin the whole thing for everyone else?
woe she is ugly. To be brutally honest I could care less if she can sing she is not something I would want to pay money to go and watch. Its my money and I wouldn’t spend a cent on her!
You realy think that these markters are that good that they could plan something like this out. Admitally she is a bit of an ugly duckling which makes the story all the more querky but I can’t se how this is a planned action.
If it is its very impresive. I aggree with Trent though I would not payu to se it.
I think you are being a bit mean here. She is just a very talented lady who has made a big splash on a tv show. I don’t see any smoke or mirrors just a pure celebration of her talent.
