Susan Boyle is adorable, not to mention her voice is beautiful. But it's definitely her down-to-earth attitude I love. She went on the stage and didn't let anyone cow her into believing she couldn't do it. When the people sniggered, along with the judges (which I thought was pretty shameful for them to do--they are supposed to stay objective), she just stood cute and unwavering (well, nervous I'm sure). Then she sang and it shut everyone up. Too late though, those people judged her by appearances and I can't forgive them so easily for accepting when they found out there was something beyond the state of her appearance. The judges did apologize, but of all the people to jump to conclusions, they should have reigned in the looks they were giving her. But enough of my beef with our so-called "tolerable" society.
I'm just ecstatic that "Britain's Got Talent" let someone of her age and appearance on the show. Maybe I haven't been watching any of the talent/singing shows lately, but I've assumed they only let passable or higher looks on tv anymore these days. I'm sure that has to more with American culture than anything, but it's becoming more and more about standards around the world.
Anyway, thank you Susan Boyle for giving a lovely performance. You inspired everyone to hold their tongue for the moment
