@DeadliestSin: Whereas I told people (before the child arrived) that I would rather he watched South Park than most the cartoons on the Disney Channel. (I've now amended that to add an age limiter, but still essentially true.) #southpark

Maybe I'm immune to looks, but I think she is a decent singer, certainly better than many on those reality singing shows, but i wonder what people would think of her voice if they were told that a beautiful woman were singing whatever it is she sings? I think she benefits from the looks vs voice gap because we expect people with good voices to look good and people who do not look good to not be able to sing.

And it was about time for something heartwarming to happen on a Simon Cowell show. Because the fact is that she tried out on other shows before and didn't make it. If her voice is that great, then why not?

She's actually kind of a cute thing in that way that unsophisticated I wanna be in show business high school drama queens and kings way there is. Am I the only people who have met people like her before?

@Tart of Darkness: I expect people who look good to use auto-tune and/or lip sync and not really be able to do anything but the fact that they are beautiful nonetheless will outshine their lack of talent and earn them fickle praise but it doesn't matter because in the world "hotness" rules supreme.

Richard, I'm sorry but what-EVER. She's awesome and orchestrated or not, it pleases me muchly to see people fawn over someone who ACTUALLY. CAN. SING. Who ACTUALLY. IS. SOMETHING. A BRITISH IDOL instead of some over caffeinated American one. Someone who IS. NOT. A. GOSSIP. GIRL. RECAP. OR. HILLS. RECAP. OR LADY GA.GA. Or BRITNEY'S. "COMEBACK." Or LINDSAY'S. E-HARMONY. SPOOF. Or any of the millions of other swirls of cold semen floating atop the rivers of sludge down the drains in our brains these days via hulu or VH1. Man! Let the people dream a dream of Susan Boyle. It'll blow over soon enough and some hairless Jonas Brother will slaughter her and rightfully assume his throne once more. Don't you worry that, petal. It will. It will. It will.

why is this SUCH a big deal? I don't see why it's so "moving" and "shocking" that a kind of heinous looking woman has such a great voice...at the end of the day, it's just another chick that can sing. whatever.

What a fucking hateful piece of shit this piece is.

Let me Ask you something Mr. Lawson; Do you sing in the shower and think to yourself that you have talent and thats it's not fair that it goes unnoticed...Then you see a recording of this Brit bitty waddle on to a stage and sing like a fucking bird, and it drives you bananas..
You turn in to a hate volcano, sitting in your big city apartment. all alone. on a crate & barrel couch you paid too much for. ranting and raving to no one.
I'll bet you're a sad little hater, arn't you?

She does have real talent and putting aside the way she looks- she makes me uncomfortable and embarrassed when I see her interacting with people. It's like the Napoleon Dynamite scene where the jocks are grilling him about how he spent his summer and laughing at his awkward remarks. I think it's sad that people like the mayor of her village "suddenly" found time to pay attention to her or the stories about how the village teens who made fun of her now flock to her door for hugs and autographs. Not unlike when the Elephant Man went from being a freak to socially in demand.

I talk with real live people as much as I read websites, and it seems everyone I meet from all walks of life eventually bring up - without being cued -watching that video and crying their eyes out.
There is something about that moment and the person that struck a chord with people and I don't believe Simon or anyone else in reality television has the vision or senvitivity to have planned it.
Maybe on the inside, most people feel a little like Susan Boyle - an ugly duckling who could have been... well, almost anything.
And we lived a dream come true through her in our little beige cubicles.

I've performed in plays Off-Broadway. But if you put me in a flannel and mis-fitting jeans without lipgloss on some reality show audition stage, I'd look like a chubby misfit wanna be. Then I say, I'm doing Harper from ANGELS IN AMERICA and guess what? It would APPEAR that I would blow everyone away. But it'd only be because of the flannel shirt and lack of shiny lips. Oh, and then you'd see that I live in the Bronx, and oh, the Bronx, isn't it dangerous there, a white girl in the Bronx and then it comes out that I'm unemployed but I went to NYU! and oh there's a scandal there. Yeah. So. Appearances.
