Susan*Boyle

I'm guessing probably everyone around the globe- well those with access to newspapers and youtube - have heard of Susan Boyle? presumably, if you have access to youtube, you watched her audition? wasn't it disgusting the way everyone judged her before she sang? itv...the general public...you - we -should be ashamed of ourselves. i'm guessing we thought she was a no-hoper. this wasn't helped by the ludicrous music itv played leading up to her song. the sort of music you would imagine a country bumpkin attempting to launch into a right whopper of a fall. we saw her eating a sandwich as she waited. this also told everyone that she had no idea of the world of showbiz? that professionals don't eat on tv, with media all around? did anyone actually think that she was comfortable in her own skin, and that this was the reason she was unashamedly doing these things we associate with foolishness? As she confessed to have never being kissed, we felt itv was leading her on, making most people laugh at her? i felt sorry for her. i felt that they were asking her thes questions, not out of interest, but in order to make people laugh at her. which was probably true. i admit, as soon as we saw her on screen, i immediately told my mum , 'she's going to be bad' as I squirmed on the sofa. (squeamish when it comes to people embarrasing themselves.) susan was also different in the fact that she didn't say she should win, unlike the deluded no-hopers that dominate the auditions. we should have suspected something. [i know some people might have, but the majority of us probably didn't.] as she stepped on the stage, i couldn't look. as we saw the faces of certain members of the audience, we couldn't help feeling the same. the cameras closed up on a certain girl, perhaps to generalise the feeling of the majority. a horrible wolf whistle found its way on to the stage. it seemed to last for around ten minutes. the judges were also sceptical . they had probably seen a large amount of people that day and found that the easiest thing to do is react in the way we have been brainwashed to. that is, assume if people are not blonde, with skin as shiny as a mirror, a body shape like a lollipop and heels as high as the nearest skyscraper, they are unworthy of people's time and attention; they are even ridiculed. this was certainly the case on britain's got talent. amanda holden told susan afterwards, 'we were all laughing at you,' and piers morgan said, 'everyone was against you.' why the hell would people be against her? she hadn't done anything; said anything? if anything, it should be her against everyone else for making a mockery of her! this makes me soo angry! but she stood up on stage and listened to this UNNECESSARY CRITICISM and did not say a word. she could be successful in her own right, and not picked on and scrutinized by Morgan and Holden. [who are famous for what? tv personalities? since when have they had any judgement on decent talent?] i certainly learnt a hard lesson. and those with a conscience would also feel ashamed. [did we hear anyone specific APOLOGIZE???] as for the bgt judges, they can screw themselves. over & out.
p.s. [can you tell i like her?]
