I disagree with ITVs Targets and missions. Pretty much to provide entertainment to the Unemployed and the Unskilled... Don't it show, ey?

But TV Burp is hilarious, but then again it is hosted by a pretty universal figure, A lot of people like Harry Hill.

they showed this on my local news channel yesterday.

Couldn't agree more. That'd warm the hearts of the even the biggest cynics.

I saw that this morning in this news, she has a surprisingly nice voice.

CRIING, so typial ... Morgan and Cowell think oh dear this is gonna be bad, then she turns out to be great, that was done on the first BGT and it didn't give me goosebumps then either.

I stopped watching these crap talent shows years ago, and all I could think was, she is up in front of millions ... you would think she would make a bit of an effort with her appearence ...


I guess I'm just a shallow twit at the end of the day :\

Yup, she has a great voice!

Some people are just plain unattractive.  They can't really do anything about it.  What's unfortunate is when their lives are ruined because of that.  I'm betting if this woman were reasonably attractive, she'd be a singing legend right now.

Too true, I just thought she could at least wear a bra ....

Man, if you and everyone else think she could be legendary yall have some serious learning to do.  I had a nice post written up with a crapload of videos of people that are easily better than her but my browser froze and I lost it.

Anyways, I'm not saying she's bad by any means, in fact she is good, she's just nothing at all extraordinary.

Just two people I feel like digging videos back up for, her idol Elaine Paige:

And Kristin Chenowith (because she was on my mind earlier today):

Again, I'm not saying she's bad by any means but there are many many better people out there, I imagine most people just don't hear them because they don't appear on your MTV's.

And if you don't think ugly people can make it, take a look at Sarah Brightman (who is, or at least use to be, awesome)...

A quick glance over this thread would tell you that no one outside the OP stated as such.

I would most definately agree with you here. She, like everybody else, could hardly be compared to Elaine Page and she's certainly not as delightful as Kristin Chenoweth (girlfriend and I would have loved to have seen her in Wicked... where I live, there isn't much opportunity to see much of anything ) but I think most people simply viewed this somewhat as a cinderella story.

Is this case any more unique than many others we've seen like it? No, but that doesn't make it any less touching.
