Lets us all start by agreeing on two things: she was not THAT good, and she was not THAT ugly.
Yes, I am talking about the media darling of the moment Susan Boyle, who worked through her supposedly beastly unattractiveness to “wow the world” by singing her heart out on “Britain’s Got Talent”. After her performance, footage of her amazing Simon Cowell hit the internet and people began raving that she is an inspiration for a sad world and a wake-up call for the human spirit.
WHAT?!?
OK, all this love is based on the two above incorrect factors: she is a great singer and she is butt-ugly.
One, yes, she IS a very good singer. But she was in no means jaw-falling-on-the-ground remarkable. Good? You betcha. Great? We have all heard better performances this year on American Idol or on one of your local FM stations and the only reason people are losing their lid over her is because she is some supposed horse-person. Which brings me to part 2: She is NOT THAT UGLY! Yes, she is no magazine cover girl (well, NOW she is) and I don’t suppose we will be seeing her mug on the cover of a lingerie catalog in the near future, but I saw uglier people than her on the subway last night. We all do. Every day. What she is, is old and British. That is what they look like! Watch the BBC! That is their look! This video didn’t blow up and become a viral sensation until it hit America because Americans were amazed at her hideousness. English people weren’t going crazy over it. Do you know why? BECAUSE THEY ALL LOOK LIKE THAT! They don’t want to cause a scene over her atrocious dome-piece because she looks just like their grandmother.
What Susan Boyle did was sing very well and surprise a great number of people, but in no way was her performance a world-changing event, like so many are attempting to make it out to be. In no way has my life been changed since Susan Boyle came into my life. And do you know who I feel much worse for thanks to this? Paul Potts. What Paul did was MUCH more impressive in my eyes and he hasn’t gotten so much of a sniffle of the attention Susan is getting. A darn shame. So in summery, Susan Boyle is not that ugly and she is not that ball-bustingly phenomena of a singer. Stop all the hype.

your link on what “they all look like” is priceless. i’m trying to work, but mostly laughing.
And I’ve had these same two thoughts - although i think she was a great singer, just not an AMAZING one.
I agree with everything you said…
but seriously dude, that chick went from hideous to hot as hell once she opened her mouth…i mean imagine all the group hoochie you could pick up from taking her into a crowded club. seriously, she is a meal ticket…”Welcome to Boyle’s may I take your order please?”, “YES! I’ll take 10 of everything…why? Because Susan Boyle is my paycheck that’s why”.
I love this woman!
wait lets make this perfectly clear. Adam Cozens views total represtent the views of Rockworms.com!
