Ugly Woman Sings Like An Angel!

Thanks to American Idol, and all of these other reality television shows we, apparently the world, have come to expect the worse from each other. Men and women acting like idiots, vying for the affections of someone who's career has seen better days. People desperate for a little fame making asses of themselves for the world to see. Ignorant and, even sometimes, mentally disabled people being exploited in an audition process for a fun sound bite, or video on Youtube.

And we sit back and make fun of the idiots. We judge their appearance. We giggle when they go off key, or forget the lyrics. We shake our heads and laugh at their exploits. Haha. But some of us wish to be them, wish for our talent to be discovered. So we'll dress up like a chicken or a pimp on national television and sing, when we've got no business singing, just on the off chance that someone will pay us some attention.

I just watched the Susan Boyle video. I don't get it! What's the big deal? Why is this the new internet sensation? She gave a great performance. Good for her, finally getting a chance to pursue her dream after caring for her parents. She's obviously had training, and seems to have a great voice, so why are we all so surprised? Because she's not pretty? At all?


So what? Where is it written that only attractive people can have talent? Who says that ugly people can't be famous singers?
