Close your eyes and listen to it, I've a picture of a Katherine Jenkins figure.

Still why are we suprised ugly old woman can't sing

Orior · April 12, 2009, 07:21:43 PM

Aye, looks like she fell from the ugly tree, and hit every branch on the way down, but she is a terrific singer.

Same oul format as the unlikely looking Paul Potts doing Pavorotti on that show. The panel look at each other raisng their eyes to the heavens-he had a fantastic voice-yer one wipes away a tear and cheesy head's jaw drops while the audience gives a standing ovation. Is so contrived. I'm sure they already heard her.

your an ole sceptic, but the point I was making was the judgement one not their reaction, which may or may not have been contrived. I thought she was going to be another in a long line of wasters, but there you go, so what did you think?

I'd heard about her before I saw the clip you put up so kind of knew what was coming. There are people with obvious mental difficulties go on that X Factor and shout and roar out a song much to the amusemnet of Simon Cowell and those other two pratts. Is very exploitive of vunerable people who think they are going to be famous. Aye yer one looked like another one of those but it goes to show you really never can tell...

longrunsthefox · April 12, 2009, 08:12:23 PM

Leenie, who is that in that avator (or watever its called) you have?

longrunsthefox · April 12, 2009, 08:41:37 PM

Oh! I thought you were saying she had a head on her like yer woman on that talent show.

Square Ball · April 17, 2009, 11:12:18 AM

i see she has had 17 million hits on youtube, been on the CBS breakfast programme and is apparently going to appear on the Oprah show.

If she was a traditionally good looking woman, would she be getting this much interest shown in her? That said, good luck to her. Fame's a flick game, so she should milk it while she can.

I agree with Simon, the first song he sang was the wrong song for him. However, when he did Michael Jackson.... wow!!
