More talent in her left nut than subby has in their entire body.

It's spelled Britun subby!

Possibly, but if she was "Woman of the Year" in Britain for 2009, either Britain on 2009 suck.

Oh, they fixed the headline, making my comment and accompanying picture just look plain stupid. Thanks a lot, Mods.

Her main talent is being frumpy and unattractive. There. I've said it. As a singer, she is certainly competent, but not spectacular. I could easily find you half a dozen better singers who are much younger and much more attractive.

She is famous because of her looks. Maybe it is pity, maybe it is the novelty. Or perhaps a mixture of the two. It isn't vocal talent alone.

That being said, I have nothing against her personally. Besides, this:

I approve.

Not to mention that she stole Paul Pott's shtick.

Not to mention that the kind of singing that american idol promotes is dull vocal wankery, not what you actually want to listen to as music.

I heard she was retarded. They were saying it on the tv at the gym the other day.

She aint that great a singer, man. It's all because she looks like the elephant man that the world is all agape at the fact she doesn't sound like Chewbacca.

Egalitarian 2009-11-28 01:09:22 PM  
Oh come on, she's not a hag. Hag = mean old* lady with a hook nose, possibly with supernatural powers. Susan Boyle is nice, plump and middle-aged. I bet she can sing better than most Farkers but her voice talents are definitely not supernatural.

\*real age may be substituted for with hard living (meth)

What you Americans fail to understand is that, by English standards, Susan Boyle is a reasonably attractive woman.

As a friend of mine pointed out, you can probably find a woman like her in half the churches in this country.

Oh, and if she's our woman of the year that would make Rick Astley our man of the decade.

Homely females should be killed as soon as physically possible, preferably in their early teens, so that fragile male egos should not be forced to even glimpse them.

America's Woman of the Year should either be Lady Gaga, Megan Fox, or Sarah Palin. Pick your poison.

Yup. Born with a deformed face, and I've seen the ugly side of many people as a result.

Because so many Americans clicked on that clip of her singing on Youtube?

I don't get it either

Everyone be careful, you might catch the ugly from her. Here use this stick to keep it away.

Seriously, I think this is just the British "taking the piss". We should just counter-nominate someone "British Woman of the Year".

With that sort of choice, I recommend cyanide.

If I'd known she was a Celtic fan, I wouldn't have given her that rim job.

America feels more guilt for making her a success?

I don't think the candidates are chosen simply for the quantity of Fark headlines they generate.

I've had just as bad, or even a tad worse, and been happy about it.

brandnewchair 2009-11-28 06:34:21 PM  
how does anyone not see the manufactured package here?

Does anyone not think that simon cowell didnt know exactly what was about to happen when susan boyle first walked out? The guy is a marketing genius.

her biggest asset was a mix of her ugly looks, her better than average voice, and the judges reactions in that damn youtube video.

thats all. she should have a short spot on tosh.0 and that should be the last we hear of her.

 
Darth Invictus [TotalFark] 2009-11-28 07:08:28 PM  
I have to say that I laughed at the headline.

The words "singing hag" cracked me up.

 
Silly_Sot 2009-11-28 08:38:00 PM  
Gordon Bennett: As a singer, she is certainly competent, but not spectacular.

I agree. She is competent enough, technically, but her interpretational skills are rudimentary, at best. She is only considered remarkable because she's a homely, middle-aged woman who happens to have a nice native voice. She needs to take that nice voice and work under a talented vocal teacher for a while. Then she might be impressive.

Sea Hag....

 
sfpfc 2009-11-28 08:58:31 PM  
I think its because when i was standing in the COSTCO queue this week in Seattle at least 3 MILFS were carrying a treasured copy of her debut album. I think she is now a very rich SuBo bought and paid for by USAMILFS

 
MikoSquiz 2009-11-28 09:39:56 PM  
Well, she's a better singer than Mariah Carey or Celine Dion. I know that's not saying much, but still, few people begrudge them their fame.

NetOwl 2009-11-28 10:35:02 PM  
I heard dozens of better singers when I went to see Lohengrin earlier this month. Some of them were uglier, too.

The difference between them and Susan Boyle, of course, is that Susan Boyle made a bunch of talentless chumps look bad on a show dedicated to cheap imitation music, whereas the opera singers spent years training and studying and becoming professional.

The other difference is that the opera singers will still have jobs in five years.

This. If she was a cute blonde, nobody'd care.
