I don't think I'm being cynical at all.

I love to hear a good singer singing well.

I saw the first Susan Bpyle Audition and it only piqued my interest because everyone was making such a big deal.

I took a second look in case I had overlooked something and didn't see anything extraordinary.

I think the Panel were looking for another Paul Potts and they decided that she fit the bill.

I also think, and have thought consistently throughout that her appearance has been central to the way she has been marketed.

The way "Britains Got Talent" have sold her has been something along the lines of "wow - she looks like that yet she can sing nicely - amazing!!"

This approach I find utterly demeaning to her.

She has been sold to the public under the guise of a role model to big frumpy women, so that they too might feel that their lives are worth living.

How insulting!

Before people jump down my throat and accuse me of being unfair, I would like you to consider this Analogy.

When you think of Ella Fitzgerald, do you think "Big Fat Black Singer Ella Fitzgerald - role model to Big Fat Black women everywhere"

Or do you just think - "I think I'll rewind that song because it was brilliant."

And while we're drawing parallels, lets consider why Ella was considered such a good singer - she could do anything - touch you, energize you, make you laugh ... etc ...

In terms of repertoire Susan Boyle is a one trick pony.

But most importantly, from my personal point of view, Her voice is ok but I wouldn't pay to go and watcch her - and if she was performing in front of me I'd probably listen for a short while, but I would need to get out after the third song.

And that's without the gushing praise from the "isn't she amazing" brigade.

Finally, have another look at the audition clip on youtube and look at simons smile.

A more insincere slimy contrived facial expression I have never seen, yet somehow people are prepared to believe his acting.

Sorry if you disagree.
