A great voice. A stunning indictment of the judges for their prejudicial thoughts and their comments after showed they thought she would be a joke simply because of the way she looked. Our world today is built upon “looks” and substance counts for very little.
in fairness....the judges are looking for talent AND marketability. That’s why looks/appearance play a huge role in their comments and prejudices.
Now...this woman is extremely talented. The first notes she belts out sets the stage and it’s on like Donkey Kong. I too tear up seeing someone like Ms. Boyle put all the snickers, the jeers, rolled eyes, and the like aside and just do what she wanted to do...sing in front of a large audience and show her talents. And boy she did. I love it.
