Unlikely Singing Star

You've probably seen the clip from Britain's Got Talent where Susan Boyle, a 47 year old from Scotland, comes on stage to snickers and then brings the audience to their feet. If you haven't, here it is. I can't find an embedded version.

Notice how they laugh when she says shes 47. Uh, what's that about?

At the 4:05 min. mark Simon has his head in his hands and then he gives a genuine smile. I thought this was sweet at first, but then I realized- Simon gets $ from any contract she signs.

And those people in the audience are whores. Laughing then cheering. F*ck you. The producers knew they had this plain woman with a strong voice, so I wouldn't be surprised if they put some hecklers in the audience. Wonder if Simon knew ahead of time?

Susan was on Larry King's show tonight. Both The View and Oprah's show mentioned the word "wax" when talking about Susan. Part of her charm is her looks, no?


This is allegedly Susan from a charity CD in 1999. I say allegedly because there isn't video with it, just a still image. Hard to believe someone singing this song has never been kissed, as she claims!
