Trust me when I say, you wont recognize her in the next show if they dress her up and do something with the hair. | ||

These ppl are not snobs - they're just ... people behaving like any person living in our society, using looks and mannerisms to form a stereotype on other kinds of behaviours. "She looks somewhat eccentric, and old!, so she probably can't sing either!" For instance, right now I'm forming some mental image of angry computer nerds berating the behaviour of other ppl judging Susan Boyle  I'm pretty sure almost everyone does this to some extent (unless you're some sort of saint) so don't go calling the kettle black. | ||

We've seen enough bad eccentric singers on these kinds of shows to expect the worst.

However I didn't like 1:24 particularly due to it being a direct reaction to Susan saying she wants to be a professional singer. Their mindset here is basicly saying "oh she does not have great looks she wants to be a professional singer? LOL?" Which does not relate what so ever. Also the woman is 47, she is not even close to ugly give her a break. | ||

Also the woman is 47, she is not even close to ugly give her a break. It's a part of human nature to form stereotypes. It's an evolutionary mechanism - when we were in caves and had actual predators, it was good to make a quick decision ("ok, that's a lion, I'm gonna get eaten if i dont run!"). Even if you don't buy this, I'm sure we've all seen, and may even have been part of, real life examples of this behaviour. Also, there's been studies showing how everyone favours good-looking individuals - we just naturally assume these pretty people are better at any task over an average-looking person. Anyways, before I go off on a complete rant, I'm not condoning their behaviour. It's bad because we're civilized now, we don't live in caves, and we shouldn't judge others based on their looks. However, it's hardwired into our brains and by judging the judgers (oi, what a mess) we're basically behaving the same way as them. | ||

The people there are really talented. Susan has such a nice voice, and Flawless is pretty good as well. The two fat Greek people were sort of entertaining to me, nothing more. | ||
