Topic: She looks ugly, but can she sing - Page: 1

Questa parte dell'argomento è obsoleta e potrebbe contenere informazioni obsolete o errate

A beautifull girl on tv that has a nice voice is very normal on tv.
But how do you think about a ugly woman that can be your mother.
Can she sing?

We all have our ideas but watch this:

first impressions.... now hands up all those that are guilty.
 
 
Wow. Amazing video.

Even though she has a great voice, I think she won't have a contract with a record company; she doesn't fit with normal standard of beauty..I think.
 

yeah, unfortunately...

Says a LOT about the business, and the world...

 
It's been always this way:
for being a known person, that person has to be a pretty one.

If you aren't like that, you are cut out from the market.

P.S: I only know a person for which this rule is not true: he is Ronaldinho!!! :)
 
holly sh!#$*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Still says a lot about the business and world

Talent should be what counts ;)

Unfortunately, talent dosent equal to success, its beauty.

you could look like a million dollars, but you dont need to be able to sing a single note these days.
they can fix your voice in a studio.

quite a lot of these contestants in these tallent programs, CAN SING, but dont get through to the finals because 'They dont LOOK the part'
 
exactly ;)

And its a shame really
 
she will mAKE SOME TYPE OF MONEY ITS A GOOD STORY
 
Truly an awesome talent and she can do backing tracks, animated movies, commercials and even broadway type shows. They will give her a makeover & voila! Good to go! Too much talent there to waste. Lots of money to be made in voice based gigs!
 
I don;t know about UGLY - she Defiantly not attractive. But then again she's 47, and unemployed.

I would say - middle aged and frumpy.

Hell of a singer.
 
Wow is all I can say
 
dj-in-norway,

Thanks for the new link.

Maybe with a few hours of make up and other clothes, she looks better.
But to be true, you can´t make a Bently from a Lada.
 
Susan Boyle is now a Global phenomenon, over 5 million people have watched her video in 4 days, setting a new Youtube record, and its already on the top list of ALL TIME most viewed videos, just after 4 days...

People are crying all around the world, from public persons such as Demi Moore and more blogging about it, to newspapers all over the world.

Its grown to such a strange phenomenon, so fast.. why are we all crying? I think Susan Boyle is like an pure "angel", in a world of shallow entertainment, and we are all sick to death with people like Paris Hilton and what not...

As a newswriter so beautifully put it :


'Britain's Got Talent' breakout Susan Boyle:
Why we watch...and weep

Apr 14, 2009, 07:33 PM | by Lisa Schwarzbaum


I'm still stuck on Susan Boyle, and still weeping. I suppose that's so 24 hours ago, and I should be thinking instead about how Mel Gibson's divorce might affect his box-office cred with conservative Catholics. Instead, I play the YouTube clip over and over of Boyle, the frumpy, middle-aged British lady who marched out on the stage of the national TV show Britain’s Got Talent this past weekend. She bided her time through the judgmental hoots and snickers of the studio audience and judges (headed by international snickerer-in-chief Simon Cowell). She sang "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables. And she brought a worldwide audience to their feet -- to her feet -- with the grandeur of her voice.

I'll get back to pondering how Vin Diesel's future might change with the success of Fast & Furious soon enough, but right now I'm pondering why the experience of watching and listening to Ms. Boyle makes so many viewers cry, me among them. And I think I've got a simple answer, at least for me: In our pop-minded culture so slavishly obsessed with packaging -- the right face, the right clothes, the right attitudes, the right Facebook posts -- the unpackaged artistic power of the unstyled, un-hip, un-kissed Ms. Boyle let me feel, for the duration of one blazing showstopping ballad, the meaning of human grace. She pierced my defenses. She reordered the measure of beauty. And I had no idea until tears sprang how desperately I need that corrective from time to time.

Yep. Simple as that. That's why I weep. What's your excuse?'

This will change so many peoples lives. It goes to show the power of what one ordinary person can do
 
i cant see the video but im guessing its from Britians got Talent..the one with the cubby lady like about 47 years old..at the end when she gets 3 "yes" she jumps like a little girl..she can sing man..that other guy that was on that show too the one that sang opera..he can sing too..
 

It was a nice try but such a rip off of the American movie Step Brothers...
 
Andrea Bocelli is unbeatable and I prefer Italian version:
