Susan Boyle advances to “Britain’s Got Talent” Finals

Have you seen the clips of Susan Boyle on last night’s “Britain’s Got Talent” finals yet?  (If not, click here.)  Just as fabulous as the first time, this episode shows her singing “Memory” from “Cats” (one of my favorites).  She now advances to the final round, which she is expected to win handily.  I haven’t heard any of her competition, but I think part of the attraction is that she just looks like a regular person.  The articles I read said she is “refusing” to change her appearance.  I don’t know whether that’s accurate, or whether no one has asked her to change anything.  Either way, good for her.  It’s about time we saw people on TV who are not airbrushed, starved, and caked with make-up.

Best of luck to Susan in next week’s finals!
