Please…no make over…Susan Boyle does not need one…she is perfect the way she is…beautiful inside and out!!!  Please don’t let anyone change you….it wouldn’t be you then….believe in yourself and just be YOU!!!!

Ms Holden you’ve got real sense.  I thouroughly agree with her statement, specially with the "underdog" factor.  From  the first time I saw (& heard!!!) the video & specially for her choice of song, I felt that this lady, somehow, was translating into music the pathos of this particular zeitgeist.  It is good for the soul to meditate on the lyrics of it, that’s why we all wept along.

Amidst chaos, very similar to the one upon which Les Miz was based, we are all underdogs, we feel beaten, but, still, we can soar above……

I do agree for the most part, but it wouldn’t hurt to shape up her eyebrows.

No make over! She is actually very relaxing and pleasant to the eye anyway… all the celebrity ‘perfection’ and ‘glamour’ is tiring and boring. This woman is a real person who’s life has not revolved around narcissistic endeavors, who happens to be blessed with a beautiful voice. That is enough. And she has come into the light at the perfect time, when people are rethinking their priorities.

My name is Helen O’Reilly, and I approve these messages!

I’ve read comparisons to Chaucer’s Wife of Bath, and maybe those are apt; don’t forget that the Wife had enormous sex appeal, and a perfectly sensual nature … we need to expand our ideas about beauty, attractiveness, and sex appeal to encompass the old, the fat, the hairy, the unplucked and ungroomed, to include those with heavy features, including massive eyebrows (and Susan’s, I thought, were nice and defined), diastemas (the Wife had one and so do I!), and frumpy dresses from the Mamie Eisenhower collection. (Actually, to our collective amazement, I think we have!)

I LOVE Susan Boyle and am prouder than proud to be her "landswoman!" And I love all those who love her!

I  totally agree with Ms Holden. I think to much is made out of how a star or up coming star should look like. I also agree with Heather and deber. As a matter of fact you both took certain words out of my mouth. :)

Susan don’t let them change you…………..  I cried several times when I heard you sing.  Your voice brings out the emotions in me.  thank you…  can’t wait for the cd…………..

She is such a refreshing contrast to the many pop stars we have these days - she’s a real person with real talent; her truly gifted voice is a pleasure to hear. 

The plastic dolls of pop have liposuction, silicone boobs, trout pouts, bleached hair and hair extensions, are a little freakish to look at and only passable entertainment to hear.

She’s not a package like the many no-talent "singers" who have to sell somthing other than their voices. She is the real deal with a real gift. Embrace her as she is!

Britney, Madonna, Jessica, etc.  don’t even come close, they may have all this make up and sex appeal but their voices are mostly made up with computer assistance to distort their real voice.  Susan is priceless in voice and appearance.  No one should even attempt to change her.  Let her be herself, she doesn’t hurt my eyes and her voice is music to my ears!  Congratulations Susan Boyle, you are exceptional!

Susan Boyle is us! The discussion is a mute point, it will be totally up to her, and somehow I doubt we will sway her. Once again, focus slips to someone’s exterior. Sad, sad.
