How is it that the world has gone fucking crazy just because somebody who is not part of the "beautiful set" can actually sing? Wow, what an amazing concept.A normal person who has shown a talent for something. Just goes to show what a joke this industry is.I see talented people everyday, and just because they arent gorgeous shouldnt be a criteria to make them special.To me, it says more about the world that there are a bunch of talentless morons on our tv screens that are only there simply because they ARE beautiful.Pussy Cat Dolls operatic divas are they?!!!!. winds me up.

Society is shallow, although partially I blame the preoccupation with attractiveness and beauty on the mate-seeking instinct. Only partially, because society could theoretically make some effort at not exacerbating the problem, like ours does. 9_9

I also think there's a tendency to respect and trust people who we might be attracted to in order to speed up the relationship process (regardless whether THEY might be attracted to, or trust and respect US).

After all, we're not the first society to ignore people based on appearance. I don't have any evidence, but I'd be inclined to say all societies, present and historical, to some extent or another, are probably guilty of this.

Well hopefully the message that this does give out is "do not judge a book by its cover". Coz lets face it ;Simon Cowell was gearing up to ridicule the poor woman and im glad that that she gave the smug git a slap in the chops so to speak

There's plenty of non-beautiful people in showbiz. Talent always trumps appearance. I am more offended by her being labled a spinster. She kinda reminds me of Georgy Girl and I like her. Simon Cowell is a smart guy, like him or not. He doesn't rip people unless there's a pretty solid reason to.

Because it gives hope to us simple people.

Beauty can come from anywhere.

I'm glad I'm not the only one in the world annoyed by the whole thing. I found it contrived and patronizing. But then that sums up TV in general I suppose.

Golly, I thought everybody was like me when I hear an awesome song on the radio and think "does she have a huge rack of plastic bubez?" 'Cause that's what's most important for radio play. Ummmm, Video Killed The Radio Star?

She had a makeover this week.....

Give her another month or two, and she will end up looking like this ...

Well, Traci Lords DOES have some great pipes.

Never heard her sing, though...
