I saw her video, great voice, another great talent find.
And, she certainly can be made to look better with a little bit of help in dressing, style, makeup, she'd be fine looking. Not a beauty, but then how many of us are?
I don't agree with this paragraph...
"I dread to think of how Susan would have left the stage if her voice had been less than exceptional. She would have been humiliated in front of 11 million viewers. It's the equivalent of being put in the stocks in front of the nation instead of the village. It used to be a punishment handed out to criminals. Now it is the fate of anyone without obvious sexual allure who dares seek opportunity."
Nobody MAKES these people go out on that stage. They have to be prepared for the audience mentality and a letdown perhaps.
It takes a strong person to go out and do this. It's not something I would do.
Hope she makes it all the way.
I also liked Paul Potts and bought his CD. Waiting for another one from him, I love his voice.
