Remember Susan Boyle?

Remember Susan Boyle, the frumpy middle-aged woman who shocked the world with her singing on Britain's Got Talent?

Well, this isn't about her. It's about another would-be star on that same show, with the same sort of initial reaction from the judges and audience, only to be replaced by jaw-dropping amazement at the voice that this fat 17-year-old boy conjures forth. He looks like a male Cass Elliot, and has the voice of a Pavarotti.

Story.

Here's the pic:



You can't really blame her. For the last two weeks all that has been discussed is how grotesque she looks in contrast to her angelic voice. No one's ego can withstand that sort of constant criticism, so she's more than justified in trying to improve her appearance. It looks as if she's off to a good start.

I Just Can't Watch It Enough

Susan Boyle's amazing debut, I mean.

I've been watching it off and on since I first discovered it a few days ago. Gods, what a wonderfully cathartic video clip it is. You could show that clip to people on the edge of death and keep them alive as long as you kept replaying it over and over again.
