Susan Boyle’s Makeover May Kill Her Chance Of Winning

Posted on May 25th, 2009 by frankls

Forty seven year old Susan Boyle has done it again! She has won the hearts of the British public, becoming the viewers choice in a telephone poll which means it shoots her through to the finale.

Her 2nd performance was a little shaky in the beginning, however she did well to overcome her nerves, sailing through with another heart felt inspirational song “Memory” from the hit musical “Cats”.

Not sure thought about the makeover, albeit a slight makeover. As she walked out onto the stage, she looked a little frumpy - cute, but frumpy. It could have been the hair, I don’t know, can’t put my finger on it. Half of the reason Susan Boyle was standing on the stage the second time was because of the way she looks. She has an unassuming “farmers wife” look, which added to the appeal of her character. Any, effort to try and change her look may damage the way viewers see her. Although, it wasn’t apparent in the voting. But then again nor was Michael Jackson slow transformation either and look what happened to him.

Anyway, I have finished ranting on that.

Anyone who can capture the hearts and votes of millions of people in 1 minute and 30 seconds is a star in my eyes. And just remember were have really only seen her sing two times now. With the constant bombardment of television, video and the Internet it is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish real life from that which has been manufactured.

Go Susan Boyle
