Don't judge a book by the cover

John, I believe both those things. I do think many wonderful people are overlooked based on their looks. And I do think she would look better with a makeover.

And what's with these folks saying that this was the biggest surprise ever? You mean an artist has to have good looks to be talented? Well, **** that! Maybe that's why there's so little good new music these days- there's just no market for it.

I hate that people are so shallow!!!!!!!! Just because you aren't a super model doesn't mean you can't possibly be talented. I have to agree with you that is why music is terrible lately.

Interviewed on Larry King...

Larry: Will you change the way you look: your hair, your style?
Susan: Why should I? Why should I change? It would take away my identity.
Piers: Quite right."

I wish I could get Britain's IT1 or whatever station it's on, over there.

It looks better than American Idol, and there's no kooky Paula Abdul.

Does anyone know when the next show is? I'm thinking tonight...

IMHO, I hope that this creates a turn in the tide in which no-talent but so called beautiful people (Brittney anyone?) can sell multi-platinum albums while those who are not so good looking but exceptionally talented are barely making it in the downtown bar. Personally, I am listening to the person sing or play an instrument. I could give a flying flip what they look like. Before MTV, ugly performers were okay. Today, it is exceptionally harder for the the unattractive to make it. And it's a shame, because if this was the case in the past decades the world would probably be without the music of Janis Joplin, Lemmy, the Ramones, etc....
