Here's a recording someone dug up that she did 10 years ago. Some local record producer in Scotland put together several local people on an anthology album for the Millennium. Amazing.

Based on her voice, I really want her to look different... Wonderful singing, though.

Nice story, but it's not really gonna get easier for her though. She'll be rich by the time the show ends, and with that will come all kinds of people that will feign interest to get their hands on her money. Not really an ideal position to be in.

Is this really her? If so, I take back what I said. This is 10 times better than her "I Dreamed a Dream."

I'm not sure I'd eat her peach cobbler (FNARR!)

I imagine her as one of those frumpy, provincial never-quite-housewives you see on "How Clean Is Your House?" I'm sure Pebbles' trophy kills are probably rotting uncollected on the living room floor, and the lab tests will show that whatever the fuck that was mouldering on her rangetop is laden with a form of pestilience that hasn't been seen since the Middle Ages.

I had a chance to see this a few days ago. It was a very nice story. I hope she does well.

Is that her in the old recording? Susan Boyle with a sexy voice is very hard to accept.

That said, as naturally unattractive as she is, the idea that it's a story of unfairly judging a book by its cover is overblown. She is not as homely as some people think. She went to the audition unkempt, when at other times she looks like this. She also acted weird at the start of the audition, which adds to the crazy-looking impression. Furthermore, people not used to her accent might not have noticed that her speaking voice is not bad. People who can sing well almost always speak pleasantly. That ties in with the main cue, symmetry. Look at her face, especially her teeth. Despite probably never having dental work, her teeth are quite straight in middle age. Voice quality is associated with symmetry, thus making it unlikely that a gifted singer would be quite ugly and so justifying some prejudging. With eyebrows trimmed, some makeup, a decent haircut, and proper clothes, Susan Boyle would not stand out as particularly unattractive compared to regular people her age.

I thought you only posted useless polls.

Can we make this thread a poll?
