Did you all see the show "Britain's got talent"? Everybody was expecting the jury, especially Simon Cowell, to start insulting Susan Boyle, a forty-seven year old woman from Scotland. Apparently Cowell had already made up his mind about her before she even gave her performance. This woman did not have the looks of a pop star whatsoever. She had a double chin, her hair looked very frizzy and her eyebrows were too thick. But when she started singing, the audience went hysterical! She has made a deep impact on everybody and has already been invited to great TV shows in America, like Oprah and Larry King. Personal reaction to this topic:
I am telling the absolute truth when I say that I broke into tears when I heard this woman singing a song from "Les Miserables". She stood there singing with so much dignity and she was very convinced of her own talent. I think that she has proven that you do not need to have the looks of a pop star in order to become famous. She gave away a stunning performance and I do sincerely hope that she will get a fair chance in her singing career.

Well Geri, I have placed the same article on my weblog. Why is this society so keen on looks? As you said she has proven that talent is more important than looks. I do hope with you that she will get a fair chance in her singing career. A real star is born.

I agree that this is a wonderful opportunity to get rid of the Britney Spears and Amy Winehouses in this world. Britain might take a leading role in this. Look at the film industry: English actors and actresses are allowed to be normal people instead of the Hollywood barby dolls. Susan, go for it!

I had seen her video on YouTube but when I saw her on the show I personally thought that she is not that ugly. She has something special because she is not like any other. She only has a strange character. But we will get used to that!
