Guest Post From Eugene Oregon: SOS

Listen up as my reader weighs in on the Susan Boyle phenomena...

So I don't get it. 

I am so sick of the Susan Boyle phenomena.  I am not even sure I get the whole thing.  I mean sure she is talented.  I definitely agree she has talent.  When the youtube video was first sent to me (one of the 5 forwards of it I got).  I thought to myself.  Yes this lady has talent.   She was overlooked for her mono brow and meek attitude, but good for her.  I really never gave it much more thought.   I really don't understand who is buying up show tune albums these days. Who are you buyers of albums that have songs like "I dreamed a dream" and the like?   Also, although the song was never a favorite of mine, I now hate the song, I have heard it so much.   It is still stuck in my head.  Apparently Susan Boyle had a hard time coping with the fame (and probably losing).  I personally found the coverage of her repulsive.  I mean give it a rest.    She waxed the brow - get over it.  But seriously, she is now hospitalized for emotional distress and fatigue, next she will go to rehab.  Maybe she should fly across the pond - she sounds like she would fit in perfectly in Hollywood.

Dear SOS,

I don't know what the fascination with her is all about. I'm pretty sure the reason that she didn't have any record deals is because she had a mustache. I never considered the fact that she sings show tunes.

You bring up an interesting point. 

Susan makes for interesting tv. in the context of a competition. But I don't see the same people who pass her forward around running out to buy her record.

I think her popularity is due to the fact that she is the first cat lady to make it big...

I'm a dick.

She's popular because she's not the same ol, same ol. Different is REMARKABLE. That simply means people remark about it. In Sue's case, they remark, and remark, and remark about it. Well hell, she IS remarkable!
