Unfortunately he was probably wondering what sort of odours her vagina emitted as he admired her voice.

I never watched the video, or heard her voice, and I don't know what she looks like, but I thought it was odd someone would think that people who aren't up to their standards, can't have talent. It's very shallow and anyone who is shallow like that, is obviously very cold hearted.

Of course I won't shoot you. Have you seen the price of lead, recently?!! I shall pity you instead.

You sadden me. I honestly had no opinion of her when I saw her walk on the stage, and you're making a very sweeping generalisation by saying that EVERYBODY would have been wondering what she was doing there. I'm obviously not saying I never judge people on looks, but I certainly made no opinion of her until she started singing, which was probably why it wasn't a huge surprise to me when she was good. She's got a good voice. I wouldn't say amazing, but that's because I know Les Mis very well, and know exactly how I like that song to be sang, but I can see why people think she's great, but she has nothing on Henshall, or Salonga.

You are agreeing with my point then, that everyone judges people based on their looks.  Although I have to admit it must be nice to be able to tell yourself that you didn't at least think "Gee...that's interesting" as she was profiled and walked out on stage.  I had that kind of innocence and idealism once.  As far as her talent goes, that of course is a matter for public opinion.  I think it's unfair that anyone who goes into the show in one of the major female parts is constantly compared to Henshall or Salonga.  While I won't argue that they gave brilliant performances (as of course, they did), because they are basically the originators of the roles people will always compare negatively to them simply because of that fact.  Sort of like how people compare Paul Rogers with Freddie in a negative way.  All I can say is that, if you remove Henshall from the equation and let Susan stand on her own merits, she did an amazing job.

Well, Simon did allude to the fact that she was a tiger... ?

AspiringPhilosophe wrote: Indeed...thanks Barb.  Even if I had TV, I wouldn't watch those shows.  I can honestly say that I have NEVER seen a full episode of American Idol the whole time it's been in existence.  Besides, most of the "talent" that wins the show is never heard from again.  Does anyone even remember the guy who won the 2nd season?  He released one song, and promptly vanished off the face of the earth.  And what about that guy with the Soul Patrol?  Never hear from him anymore either.  Granted the show actually does kick up some talent and some artists that manage to have a recording career (Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, etc.), but given the number of contestants that's within the realm of statistical chance.  Besides, from clips I've seen, it seems at least on AI that in the early stages of the new season they delight in crushing people by humiliating them on a nation-wide scale.

Ha,it was an Austin Powers quote just in case anyone missed it.  

Sir GH wrote: She's not nearly as ugly as people say she is, simply because she doesn't look like our media's benchmark for the optimal attractive person with a pound of make-up on and all flaws airbrushed.  She's a regular middle-aged woman with an absolutely gorgeous voice.  Like Paul Potts, I sincerely hope she wins.

-fatty- wrote: I hate the woman already. It has nothing to do with the way she looks and I'll admit she does have a great voice but now that Max Clifford is representing her and The Sun newspaper is championing her cause she automatically becomes a gobshite. Clifford and Murdoch will now make hundreds of thousands on the back of this poor lassie and she'll become the most despised woman in the country since Jade Goody died. fatty.

Yara wrote: If she's ugly, I tell ya, I'm the output of the peace agreement between Alien and Predator. Let's say they thought it was a good idea to swive - excuse me my middle English! - in order to seal the deal. Then I came into being, though wearing thick-lensed glasses for myopia and being cross-eyed, both features which can't be attributed to either of them. But I'll always think of Predator as my one and only father, despite what further biological discoveries may reveal.

We all love you Yara, no matter if the Predator is your father or not :)

Lisser, has your avatar/profile pic always been there or did you just add it today? Usually all I see is a red 'x'. Anyway...that reminds me I'm auditioning Queen fans for a swimsuit contest and I would like to invite you to send in a swimsuit picture. I have one already from all the other Queen fans here (whistles) so you're the odd one out. You don't want that now surely? Anyway, don't worry, there's nothing pervy about this, I'm a doctor after all...

It's awfully depressing that people act like that. And I don't know why they're all surprised, since when has looks come into whether a person can sing or not? People are so rubbish.
