Cat Lady Sings Les Mis
This is Susan Boyle, a 47-year-old woman who knocked the ball out of the g-ddamn park with her performance on “Britain's Got Talent.” You were maybe hoping for a funny, mock-the-cat-lady sort of video, but instead we are serving you some triumph of the human spirit.

Why do so many people feel that this woman is ugly? Around the internet, I keep seeing comments along the lines of “fantastic voice, but damn, she's hideous!”
I'm not trying to appear virtuous by saying this, but she looks just like a normal woman in middle age to me. I'd go so far as to say that she looks positively sweet and approachable and and even kind and interesting. There's no way to put this without dredging up a million clichés, but it's true: There really is more than one kind of beauty. It completely evades me how some can detach their definition of what beauty is from what is surprising, joyful, intriguing, or hopeful in the world. The cheesiness of manipulative editing aside: If you can't look at Miss Boyle and see beauty, then I rather suspect that you've had the larger portion of your sense of wonder and grace stolen from you by whatever cultural programming you've received over the years. If so, it might be a good thing (and revelatory) to begin to question what you think beauty is, and is not.

So why are people so amazed that someone can occupy society's lower social and economic strata while simultaneously having interesting or redeeming personal qualities? Is it really that incredible and unusual?

OK, nothing against this woman, she seems quite nice and good luck to her (although she's not got THAT great a voice), but I really despise this show. I don't like any of these singing shows, but this is the worst. Call me a grinch, but it's just so cheesy and vomit-inducing. You can tell it's all edited together to be as shamelessly manipulative as possible. Everything is overstated. 20 seconds in and she has had a standing ovation. Give me a break. And don't get me started on that Amanda Holden - I'm suprised she didn't pull her usual crying routine.
