Why are people going nuts over Susan Boyle? She's not even that incredible. Yeah, she's better than hacks like Brittney spears but if you want people that can actually sing it's not hard to find people immensely better than her.

Cause she doesn't look the part.

What the fuck do I care what a singer looks like?

It's an old cliche.

It actually happened on the first season when a man named Paul Potts came on the show. He was overweight, and not very attractive. And for that reason, nobody thought he could sing well.

*Shock and awe*

He could sing well, very well. Who would think that a fat, unattractive guy could be a great opera singer? Shocking. It's the same cliche with Susan Boyle. Apparently, unattractive people can't be talented, but if they are, we're all supposed to be really impressed.
