Susan Boyle is plain, fat, badly dressed and 47 years old!!! Aaarghh, what a horror. Everybody laughs at her, they shake their heads - not with pity - with anger that this person would ever dare invade the space. The comments thrown at her are so nasty and rude it takes your breath away. And she stands there, does a little spin with her hips (which upsets everybody) and says cheekily that she wants to be a star. They hate her. Susan Boyle is totally vulnerable; alone on stage about to sing while all this negative energy and snickering is directed at her.
And then she sings - with the voice of an angel - strong and clear, unwavering in the face of adversity. Thus is she transformed - she becomes beautiful, strong, passionate, attractive - and everybody loves her.
Watching the clip had me breathless with shock and anger at the way Susan Boyle was recieved and spoken to by the judges, both before and after her performance. They actually say that they were stunned by her performance...because she was ugly and old they had expected her to make a fool of herself.
How did society and mankind get to this point? Who said you need to be beautiful, young or sexy to have talent? There are tons of untalented beautiful people out there performing and showing of their sorry shortcomings. Who wants to listen to a beautiful girl sounding horrid when you can hear such singing as that of Susan Boyle.
I am angry. I don't see the beauty in this happening at all...I see only shame. And I am so impressed by Susan Boyle, not only for her singing, but for her courage and strength.
