I agree. She is just a normal person. A very few things that could be easily done, an eyebrow pluck (ow!), a nice haircut, hair dye (cheaply done at home). I think she’s wonderful just the way she is too, but she could easily be 100 percent more attractive with just a little effort. It would be good for her. I heard her sing a couple times on clips of the song. Need to hear the whole thing on u-tube. Glenn Beck says it’s 7 minutes long and he could not air the whole thing. And yes, he was all pink and choked up after showing a clip of her singing and he spoke about what true beauty is, it is this wonderful lady.
Yes, as Andrew sangf Pie Jesu, you got the feeling he knows of Whom he sings.
PING!
Thanks!
she can always get her hair and make up done. A voice like that is one in a million. Good for her!
Try this!
Her looks matter not! She sings like an angel!
LOL! I’d imagine!
If his voice changes, we don’t know what he’ll sound like, but right now, he’s magnificent.
And I think she looks perfectly fine. I’d much rather have lunch with her than some uppity conceited person. As it says in The Bible man sees what is on the outside, but God knows a person’s insides. Man is so superficial. The inner soul is a person’s true beauty. I think she is beautiful inside and out. Most people are like her, ordinary looking, but very special in their own way. It’s those hollywood types that have it all on the outside and are vacant in the soul department. Rather be acceptable to God for my insides than my outside. He knows us, knitted us in the womb, called us by name before we were even born. Born just like he wanted us to be. She is an angel. Her treasure is stored in heaven.
That’s outstanding!
She makes my heart sing along with her!
She’s just amazing!
No wonder Simon Cowell has a scowl on his face all the time!
Those brits are amazing!
BTW...I went to Britain Has Talen on Youtube, You must see Flawless!
“She makes my heart sing along with her!”
Beautifully said, Randy!
G’nite!
“Beauty is overrated....”
Amen to that. Susan Boyle has been blessed with the voice of an angel. She looks like a nice person to be around also. I hope success does not spoil her.
Should British singing sensation Susan Boyle get a makeover?

And Boyle herself says she wouldn’t want the instant fame to change her too much.
Boyle, 47, burst into the spotlight last week when she performed the song “I Dreamed a Dream” on the reality show “Britain’s Got Talent.”
At least two members of the show’s judging panel have said they judged Boyle on her looks when she first appeared on stage before them. Based on the somewhat disheveled state of her baggy dress and wild hair they admitted they didn’t expect much.
“It’s a very shallow thing to say but, obviously, the minute she walked onstage we all, and the audience, completely judged her on her appearance and everything else. And I hate saying that. But, you know, that true cliche, we judged a book by its cover,” said judge Amanda Holden in an interview Friday on the CBS “Early Show.”
But as the 18 million viewers of the YouTube clip of her musical number have seen when Boyle opened her mouth to belt the song, she dazzled the crowd and moved her listeners to tears among them the “Early Show” hosts, “Today” host Kathie Lee Gifford and actress Demi Moore.
Boyle’s champions including Holden say her “everywoman” look and story is part of her appeal and are urging her to resist a Hollywood-style makeover.
“I won’t let Simon Cowell take her to his dentist and I certainly won’t let her near his hairdresser. She needs to stay exactly as she is because that’s the reason we love her. She just looks like anybody who could live on your street,” Holden said in an interview with the British Daily Mail.
Cowell created the show and is also a judge.
Boyle lives alone with her cat Pebbles in Scotland and for years was a caregiver for her mother, until she passed away in recent years. She is unemployed and went on the show to sing as a tribute to her mother.
She claims to have never been kissed or had a boyfriend and her story has pulled the heartstrings of all who’ve heard it.
For Boyle, the reality experience has been a dream come true.
Contrary to this morning’s comments on CNN, in an interview Thursday with “Good Morning America” host Diane Sawyer asked Boyle if she’d like to change her look, to which she replied, “I’d like that.”
But Holden is holding steady on her career advice for the rising star.
“The minute we turn her into a glamourpuss is when it’s spoilt,” Holden said
