There is no marketing folk Andrew.There will be but there isn't now.
Her performance was watched live by millions ,it is acclaimed by millions,nobody was trying to sell anything Andrew this was someone getting up on stage and doing a fantastic performance.She had her chance and delivered. There are many talented people out there,I agree, is that what you are trying to say? If they get up and perform equally as well we can applaud it, you may not .If you did not enjoy it,or you think Elaine Page should have pushed Susan out of the way and sang it,why not say so.Just remember that Elaine Page took her chance in the same way as Susan Boyle, the leading lady being ill and at the last minute Elaine being her understudy took the part and was an immediate success.
You summed it all up nicely Surrey Singer.
