So I've gotten emails, and seen countless articles on the web today about it, so I figured I would chime in. I'm sure you've seen the video, the ugly woman walks on stage, everyone laughs at her (why?) then she says she wants to be a singer, people keep laughing (no idea why?) she then sings, and everyone is blown away because she can sing. it's an inspiration.
Okay, so really, who cares? I mean, being attractive has absolutely nothing to do with how well you can sing. It's not like she came on stage and said she wanted to be a stripper or a model. There are plenty of ugly people that sing. Sure, she would never make it on American Idol, it's a different show. But this show is pretty low on the totem pole, different audience all together.
I don't understand the fascination with this story? Is it that everyone in the crowd was laughing at her for not being attractive? If so, yeah, that sucks... but then everyone stopped laughing she she sang well, and I think that's even worse. Don't feel bad for it... she's still as ugly as she was when she went on stage... if you thought it was okay to vocally express your displeasure of her appearance earlier, you should still think it's okay to laugh when she's done singing.
She's going to win the competition, based solely on the fact that if you watched the show and laughed at her, you will now vote for her, and in your warped twisted mind, think that now everything is okay and you can go back to making fun of ugly people, because you "voted for an ugly chick on tv that one time" (classic 'I have a black friend so I'm not racist' move)
The other group of people voting will be ugly people that are too ashamed to even leave the house that they are watching this show on Saturday nights while all the attractive people are out enjoying themselves. They see a little bit of themselves in Susan Boyle, but have absolutely no confidence so they will never be able to accomplish what she has, so they are content with voting for her to victory.
Good for her though. She exploited her ugliness, no makeup... shunned the stylists that would have ran a comb threw her hair. She knew what she was doing, it's not like she was shocked by the fact that people liked her singing, she knew she could sing, she knew that going out with a bit of makeup and a nice hairdo would have gotten the crowd to take her a bit more serious, but she didn't want this... she orchestrated an amazing scheme to not only make it on the show, but unquestionably win the show. Good for her.
Here is the video.
