Susan Boyle, from ugly duckling to beautiful swan.

If I had a my Freeones account, I would have just gotten 25 points!
Oh yeah, I've seen this. That was quite amazing. Looks like Britain has its (or "her"?) next Paul Potts.

Would you hit it?
All of this fucking disgusts me.

People laughing at her while she came out. Sure, she's no beauty I'll admit that, but it's not like she has dung all over her. And even the TV crew played along in all of it.

Who the fuck are they to judge what she is and isn't?
Let's pose the scenario that she hadn't been a good singer. They would all have continued laughing. She had become "the ugly idiot who tried and failed" instead of the "ugly duckling." I'm disgusted that people in this day and age still aren't sensible and sensitive enough to judge someone from what she is, rather than what she can do.

Also, what if she hadn't been as aware of her own appearance as she happened to be. She managed to dust off all the haters and just go for it, and kudos to her for that. But what if instead, she had been devastated and shocked from the crowd's reactions. She would've started crying on the scene and people wouldn't be so smug then, when they see what they're judgmental behaviour results in.

Frankly, she has to have a pretty big heart to even accept all the praise from the people at this point. If I was her, I would have gone to some serious music producer instead and said "fuck off" to the mainstream media who right now are sucking all they can from this scoop.

Never argue with a fool. People might not know the difference.
It's all a con by Simon Cowell if you ask me.

Don't get me wrong she's a relatively good singer, but there are HUNDREDS better just in the theatres of the West End (of London) alone.

The only thing that separates her from them is her "Ugly Duckling" gimmick which has made her an overnight celebrity and probably has Cowell laughing all the way to the bank.

so there is a god after all ? lol ! :D

Seriously, everybody likes a good surprise and I agree w/ Art in that Cowell is likely giggly about it. ;)

what the fuck you lookin at?
reminds me of that guy that won America's Got Talent. Neal E. Boyd, big dude but my god the pipes on that man are fuckin amaizing! Here's his first performance ever and back then I predicted him to win and sure as shit he did! I'm not into opera but he's good! I'm glad he won, since he really did come from nothing.

another perfect example about judging a book by its cover.

What can I buy for 100 FreeOnes points?
She's not actually an astounding singer, though is she? She good, but nowhere near best in all Britain good.

I hope she gets to follow her dream and become singer, though too well.

The whole premise of the show is.. laughable. The people who have talent arent so much. (laughable)

Produced? Celebrities? Talented enough? I think the public only cares enough for a quarter of a minute at a time. Everyone gets their 15 seconds, eh? Is that all we can spare?

I'd have to say yes. That's all. Feel good for awhile, appreciate their talent for a few... but we all have talents. Focusing on these few should give you the bigger perspective : everyone has it and ..

OMG IS THAT JERRY SPRINGER?! How can I take that seriously? Honestly. lololol
 
Okay, I dont watch this show and I do not read newspapers so I seemed to have missed something :dunno:, but what have I missed?

Nothing much, a relativly decent singer who isnt very attractive and she's getting all this publicity why? Because she's not very attractive and can sing relativly well .... yes? Well then, what does that say about ourselves?

It's curious that everybody likes to see a beautiful BITCH get destroyed because she was a beautiful bitch, yet at the same time after the 2 ton steel beam is hoisted off of her body it's all booo hoo :crying:. . she was so beautiful and she donated to children with cancer once and volunteered in a soup kitchen for an hour on X-mas eve in 2005 :crying:
