That's why it's so hard to believe she just came out of "nowhere".:dozey:

even if they are not really a discovery, don't they deserve that chance if they really are good?

(note: i don't follow that show anyways).

a wonderful story. very empowering and inspiring. tells young girls out there that talent isn't all about looks.

 

she's awesome. :D

even if they are not really a discovery, don't they deserve that chance if they really are good?

 

Well if that's the case they should at least come clean about it. The show's become more and more contrived if you ask me........................... :dozey:

Even the judges' reactions look like they've been rehearsed, or filmed afterwards.

Susan Boyle gets her makeover: Do you love it or hate it?

Don't recognize that stylish brunette?

It's none other than Susan Boyle – the breakout star of "Britain's Got Talent" who has been dubbed a "hairy angel" by the British press for her formerly frizzy and gray-streaked cloud of hair.

 

But she's grizzly no more!

 

The singing phenomenon was photographed Friday outside her home in Scotland with newly dyed hair in a more stylish cut and even some make-up to even out her ruddy skin tone.

She also had her eyebrows thinned and shaped in recent days and stepped out in chic high heels.

 

Friday, Boyle was again wearing her new fitted leather jacket – a huge leap from the dowdy mustard-hued lace dress she wore on her initial television appearance – and added flair with a Burberry-print scarf.

 

The producers at "Britain's Got Talent" are "frantic" over the changes, according to the British Daily Mail.

They apparently hoped she would maintain her unpolished appearance for the program's live finals as Boyle's dowdy looks paired with her angelic voice seem to be the secret ingredient to her astronomical success.

 

Fans and media alike have buzzed over whether the frumpy "everywoman" with the huge voice should pay a bit more attention to personal grooming.

The surprise star, 47, had vowed in several interviews to stay true to her "plain Jane" looks adding, "I wouldn't want to change myself too much because that would really make things a bit false. I want to receive people as the real me, a real person," in an interview with CNN last week.

 

Amanda Holden, one of three judges on the reality show that catapulted Boyle to international fame, has said the Scottish songbird should stick to her look if she hopes to maintain mass appeal.

"She needs to stay exactly as she is because that's the reason we love her. She just looks like anybody who could live on your street," Holden said in an interview with the Daily Mail.

 

"The minute we turn her into a glamourpuss is when it's spoilt," she said.

:uhoh:

I don't get the fascination with this woman. It's like people have had an epiphany that there are unattractive women out there who can sing. I didn't need Susan Boyle to teach me this fact. This speaks more about narrow mindedness of society and less about her. Think about all the other unattractive women who are never given the same platform as her.

These are my exact feeling on this Susan Boyle. As usual, Charlie Brooker sums it up perfectly.

I saw this the day after the episode aired on YouTube and I loved it. It's a huge life lesson on "you can't judge a book by its cover." Loved Simon and Piers's reactions!

The fascination is due first, to her talent and second, to her breaking through the social barriers you mention. It's a joyful celebration of her victory.

 

What I don't get is why some people feel the need to rain on her parade.

I reckon there's something fishy about the entire programme. I wouldn't be surprised if there are people out there "scouting" for the best acts to try to make it a decent competition.

That boy singer from last week has been in West End musicals, for example, so he isn't exactly a "discovery".:dozey:

 

None of which is pertinent to the celebration of Miss Boyle's talent and refreshingly real personality.

semi-finals

 

And Susan makes it to to the semi-finals. Next installment is May 30th in the UK.

Go Susan!

I hope she wins. She deserves it.
