I don't think Susan Boyle is even remotely connected with the jws, is she? She is just singing some classic songs. I for one loved them. I would like to hear her do something that rocks . She is the real deal, not a skinny 20 something with too much makeup. So the real deal is a group of unloved grannies, Lee? Life has more than leveled the playing frield for Susan. I loved hearing Simon call her a "cheeky little devil" or something to that affect.

I'm aware of no witness connection.
I'll happily conceed that she's better than just about anything else I've heard that has been spawned by reality TV star maker shows in recent years. I also think a frumpy lady of a certain age is a good thing to have in a business where appearance and image counts more than talent.
My main criticism lies in the Cowell star factory aspect. All these songs about overcoming adversity seem like too thumping a metaphor.
I'm not having a go at 'granny' music, I'm nearly old enough myself, though I'm the wrong sex. This is where a lot of her market lies though. A gay friend tells me she has quite a gay following too.
Violia, I think you have it when you say that 'Life has more than leveled the playing field for Susan'. She is certainly deserving of a measure of success, but not as much as it seems she may receive. I'm just in favour of a level playing field. Knowing this thread will produce glowing praise I'm just trying to restore balance rather than be controversial. There's a goodly number of people with talent that remain virtually unknown.
Gregor, my tastes are amazingly varied so long as you exclude opera, throat music, free jazz, music concrete and most post 80's forms of dance music. I've just done a quick check and I have 56,339 tracks on my PC. I'm sure we could find some points of common appreciation.
