You Tube phenom, Susan Boyle competed in the next round of Britain’s Got Talent Saturday night. She sang “Memory”, and if you ask me, I still don’t get what all the fuss has been about. The performance was pretty mediocre.
Gotta hand it to Simon Cowell and his BGT producers, they were genius the way they crafted her backstory, playing on stereotype–of course that crazy cat lady is going to suck, but OMG she doesn’t–and then our sense of guilt about how we judge people.
Except, I’m such a cynical bitch–I watched her initial You Tube audition and could see the wind up coming from a mile away. I just wasn’t playing, peeps.
