This video is making the rounds of the internet today, so what the hell, I’ll share it with those of you who might have missed it…
UPDATE: A contrary opinion:
Not to be a grump, but am I the only one who finds this a little over-the-top and, frankly, a little condescending? Plenty of big-voiced PYTs sing their hearts out every week on American Idol (not to mention onstage in Broadway shows) without getting this kind of reaction. But Susan, because of her looks, because of the fact that people were snickering at her before she opened her mouth, becomes a sensation simply by being able to carry a tune. She has a decent voice, sure. But let’s not get carried away. She’s no LuPone, and her talent is only really shocking if you’ve already counted her out as a squawker on account of her granny hairdo and pre-fame Julia Roberts eyebrows. Once the element of surprise is gone, we’re all going to be stuck with the fact that she’s a capable, but by no means extraordinary singer. And is that really worth all the fuss?
John,
Saw your vid here and there elsewhere. HTB but, Simon actually cut here some slack, sorta:!: Maybe cause she was a homey……(no I didn’t say homely…), but…….
She looks good enough to be on your arm, dude :razz::lol::oops:
