Susan Boyle

I did NOT think her singing would suck because of her old age and lack of looks.

I also did NOT think her singing was flawless; there were some parts that needed improvement, imo.

But here's the problem with the general societal reaction, imo:

First, she is ridiculed and disregarded because of her age and looks.

Now, she is fawned over, as if she were a trick horse, rather than a human being.

Why not treat her like a human being, before and after?
 
I think you are missing the point iggy... It is because she defied those apparent societal stereotypes that everyone likes her so much. :o

Aside from the fact that she has a hell of a set of pipes.
 
Be nice to hear her sing something other then that song. A duo will William Hung would be good. :D

I don't know... When I close my eyes, and I can only hear her sing, I think her voice is brilliant. Not just the tone, but she has so much power and emotion as well.

Mark my words here.

She WILL be signed, she WILL get an album contract, and it WILL sell very well.
yup but she will also last a very short period of time. She's a fad at best. If she wasn't so friggin ugly, we wouldn't be talking about her at all.

LOL !!! She bangs, she bangs.....whatever happened to William HUng?

Viva
American Idol's William Hung was found dead yesterday in Las Vegas, Nevada. William's song "Shebangs" (originally by Ricky Martin) hit many American lover's hearts for the fragile deliver.

William Hung died of an apparent heroin overdose. Friends of Hung say that he grew despondent prior to his overdose. Ming Tse, one of Hung's classmates from Stanford stated that Hung was asked to say words on Snotbubble's Morning Madhouse that slowly crushed Hung's confidence. Words such as "me horny" and "hey sailor" including "you wanna some-e egg foo young-e."

Others that knew Hung feared that he was turning Hollywood too much. Hung's engineer Melvin Samples stated that "I'm not surprised he was on heroin."

William Hung was found by a VH1 camera crew. They were set to begin filing "William Hung: Behind the Music." Since Hung's death, Viacom changed the title to "William Hung: Fifteen Minutes Till Death."
