From the time the Internet video surfaced of Susan Boyles I immediately disinterested. Perhaps it was my Cacophobia that kept me away, or maybe the fact that I have a crazy amount of talented friends that she didn't wow and amaze me.
Needless to say I haven't jumped on the Bandwagon or joined her fan club. From magazines, to the Today Show, to Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, E! I can't seem to escape at least one reference to Susan Boyle. So I have to ask the question? What is it about this woman? I've heard her sing, yes she has a lovely voice, but why is that so amazing? Is it that she's middle aged and can sing? Is it that she's unattractive and can sing? Is it that she got mocked at first, and then cheered? But even with all of those things - what's new? Who care? Most artist weren't the most popular ones and there's a large amount of them that are still unattractive. So I'm still really baffled. Anyone have any insight for me?
I'd love to understand what the fascination is. I hear she's had a makeover, but the Cacophobia still keeps me away. Poor Susan, I don't loathe her. I just don't get it. Either way, I wish her well - now America, can we move on to something else of interest? Like the Economy or the Obama's new dog??
Thank you and Good Day...

I gotcha. While I think she has a great voice, I just don't get our fascination with Ms. Boyle. I was watching CNN the other day and she was the lead story. Really? I mean, the lead story - that Susan Boyle can sing but can't get kissed. I think it's Simon's ploy to get us to watch the show.
And welcome back - we've missed you.
i had no idea who you were even talking about till i read "unattractive and can sing" and then i thought "oh that woman that the news keeps showing."
i don't care either and am too much more intrested in the dog and that 70's show :)
