Subject: RE: A Most Heartwarming Performance-Susan Boyle
It's actually somewhat tragic that we're even discussing this womans 'looks' here at all, though I understand that it's in reaction or response to the banal bullshit the media pumps out so predictably.
Woo, big shocker! Someone 'ordinary looking' can sing.. And there was me thinking that one must be Barbie incarnate to manage a tune. Funny old thing, but I was scouring YouTube earlier today, and what a fine bunch of women singers we used to have (though to be fair I was primarily looking at American female singers - incidentally discovering the kick ass Big Mamma Thornton I Smell a Rat in the process!)- and composed of so many sizes and shapes and with missing teeth and all...

Where did all these class act ladies go?
Not that I'm knocking girls possessed of natural beauty - who can also sing, but somethings wrong with this picture when it becomes a shock to modern audiences (and cause for debate!), that a woman who isn't also exceptionally physically lovely, can sing well...
