I think its time for all this hype over Susan Boyle to die down and go away. And really it must all be very hurtful for her. For the whole world to be judging you on your looks, I'm just not sure about that. Susan Boyle has a beautiful voice and she won over a hostile crowd and at least one judge who's a bit of a jerk anyway.
But what if that beautiful voice and that fantastic rendition of the song had not come out? What if she had as they say really bombed? The crowd would have treated her unmercifully, Simon would have been even more ignorant than he usually is but would any of that made Susan Boyle less of a human being, less deserving of kindness and proper treatment that any human being should have a right to.
When Simon asked Susan her age, she replied 47. His eyes rolled around in his head and he rolled back his head like 47 was an age at which one should be buried.
Whats wrong with being 47? One of the judges even said when she finished, everyone was laughing at you, nobody's laughing now. Well shame on them for laughing. Shame on them for their judgement.
If this little episode proved one thing its this - Who is really ugly? Well in this case I think its society.
