This is the song, from the play Les Miserables, that Susan Boyle sang on the British version of Idol. (It is not a clip of her because the power to be blocked the embeding of her clip.) Let me tell you what I thought about her 15 minutes of fame. If Susan Boyle had been a very good looking woman she would not have been on that show and in the news, but because she was homely looking and had a nice voice, it was some kind of miracle. That a plain looking person had a very nice voice was a phenomenon. What does that tell us about our selves and what we think about each other.

I agree with your insinuation completely. Homely people can DO things? I'm speechless.
