Check this out!
Since I first sat down and watched the episode a few days ago, I have been toying with the very same idea. Susan Boyle's performance was so inspiring but at the same time the episode left me with a very bad taste in my mouth. As Palumbo suggests, if Ms. Boyle could not sing people would just feed into the idea that it is okay to judge solely based on some one's looks.
This really surprises me that people would even judge her in the first place because, when I was younger, I was the youngest member of the Contemporary Choir at my church. I have to say that some of the most outstanding singers were not always what society would consider beautiful. Yet, their powerful voices rang throughout the church and it was beautiful.
As far as I am aware, there is no correlation between beauty and how well one is able to sing so why were all three judges so shocked that she was able to sing? Singing is a talent and it comes with practice...not good looks. I am so proud that Ms. Boyle was brave enough to try out for the show and make it as far as she is but I think judging her in the first place was simply unwarranted.
