Susan Boyle, et al.

She's become a world famous singer already. Walked onto the 'Britain's Got Talent' stage and blew everyone away. Got onto YouTube and, with over 5 million views, is currently blowing the world away. I've only heard her sing one song, but she was phenomenal. She gave me goose bumps, her voice was so astonishing. Now this morning, on one of those morning news shows, they're talking about "should Susan Boyle get a makeover".

A makeover? Excuse me, why? She's a world wide phenomenon already! NOW you want to make her over? After the fact? Isn't that the old 'lock the barn doors after the horse escapes' mentality? If you hadn't noticed, she's ADORABLE! She's got a personality to match, ADORABLE! And she's got a voice to blow other singers out of her league, makeovers notwithstanding.

It's funny, since she didn't become famous using phony hair, eyelids, cheeks, teeth, lips, chin, boobs, nails, and a lipo'ed ass, everyone is all confused and wondering if we should get her some of those things now. Have plastic surgery alterations to our faces and bodies become such the norm that people in this country forgot what a naturally formed human female looks like? Take another look people, she's actually cute!

I hope and pray that she's not bullied, or pressured into feeling that she should do anything to change her appearance. Perhaps, all by her amazing self, she can change the standard of beauty in this country to something more natural. We've already seen the pendulum swing from prepackaged, crap laden, over processed foods to actual, real, unadulterated food. Here's hoping that Susan Boyle can swing the pendulum from adoration of plasticized women to appreciation and love of real women!

YouTube has the embed option disabled, but here's the link to her singing for as long as it lasts:

P.S. I heard her sing two songs now. Here she is talking and singing and getting a date on Larry King.
