Ugly?

It's dear old Susan Boyle. I am totally fed up with hearing how bad the British were and how good she was. It wasn't just the Brits, it was all of us. Plenty of us have youtubed Susan during her first audition on BGT. It's mortifying, all the people in the theatre except for Susan of course should have burned at the stake. First, we get Ant and Dec interviewing her, because they probably thought she looked quite a character and that they would be needing the interview to give it to the tabloids so that people could roll in laughter. Then, this very harmless-looking woman walks onto the stage (with big steps may I add, not with the teeny weeny steps expected out of a woman), She is dressed in a gold dress two sizes too small for her and the crowd goes wild, definitely not in appreciation. She is also asked a very impertinent question to ask a lady... how old are you? Probably Simon Cowell figured out he could ask the very impertinent question because it was not a lady on stage. She is asked about her ambitions, and Thank God does not falter, not even when someone decides to be so stupid and wolf-whistle her. Simon rolls his eyes in despair, I would have like his eyes to roll out of their socket and bang into a car. Piers, the ever good guy winces, shame on him. Amanda.... she's coy, she says and does nothing. So the first strains start... and the audience goes wild, this time for a very appreciative reason... you see that thing can sing. Shameful. And sing it can. When her song comes to a close, Piers goes so far as to insist that before her performance everybody was laughing at her... nobody's laughing now. Why on earth was she laughed at in the first place? So harmless-looking, definitely not the look of a hitman or woman. Simon is now uncomfortable. And Amanda of course can splash her praises. Of course Susan gets three yeses. Second time round is different, nobody's laughing then. And all three judges think that they have to make a sort-of apology without uttering the words, I'm so sorry I was an idiot, or I apologize for being the world's biggest dork. And she, so humbly, waives that off as... me? I know nothing. Incredible. I would have made them feel sorry, very very sorry. I'd have called them nasty, stupid and all the bad words in the book. Yet she doesn't, or perhaps it's because she knows she could probably win this. Whatever it is which has sent the world into shock is bad. We have been sent into shock because we never knew that a humble, 47 year old, not fitting into today's stereotype hot chick looks actually has a lot to offer. It's not Susan who is ugly but us. We are ugly for making this into a circus. And now, we have a guilty conscience. So we will hit Susan's number when voting, just to make ourselves feel a little less ashamed. Well, it's all we can do now, not that Susan doesn't deserve to win at that.
