Susan Boyle: You're A Good Singer...So what?

Well looks like Youtubers everwhere once again have Susan Boyle fever. If you don't know who she is, she's a talented singer, who's not much of a looker might I add, that appeared on "Britain's Got Talent" and she surpassed everyone's expectations by totally belting out a fine tune. Ok cool so she's practically an underdog correct? Yeah I would say so. 

But soon after people everywhere started to go nuts over this lady. Youtuber's, news stations, and people everywhere were talking about this woman and her performance on Britain's Got Talent. I'll admit she can belt a fine tune but I never got why everyone is just so hyped up about it? Like sure she's pretty old and not exactly what you would call attractive, but that's the thing. I just think people are just amazed by the fact she's old and can belt out a fine tune. Pretty sure there's a lot of other people out there just like her. 

Though I can see why people can see her as an inspiration, she's one that doesn't quit on her dreams. I can respect that. But seriously her antics are getting a little old. 

Just a few days ago, the semi-finals on "Britain's Got Talent" was televised and Susan managed to outplay the competition and make it to the final (may need confirmation on that one, but nonetheless gave a stellar performance). After the show people everywhere started going ga ga once again over her performance. 

Quite, frankly I'm getting kinda sick of the publicity this woman is getting. Singer, Lily Allen even remarked "Susan Boyle is so overrated" and I agree there isn't really anything special with this woman. She can belt a fine tune, but that's it. We see this shit all of the time on American Idol, so what the hell is the big deal? 

And from the looks of it, Susan herself is getting quite sick of the fame she's been receiving. Apparently she snapped after getting into a conversation with a pair of journalists from the british tabloid, "The Sun". She honestly looks like a nice person, but seeing her crumble under the pressures of the media is just sad. And like look at her now, they've over hyped her to the point where she's just another singer that television has plucked society.
