I keep seeing footage of Susan Boyle, the Scots woman with the beautiful voice. Now, I can understand people's surprise that any undiscovered person would have such a phenomenal voice. The woman can truly sing with the voice of an angel. I'm glad she's getting some attention after so many years of taking care of her mom. (If you haven't seen any of the footage, she's in her mid-40s. She never married. She's never even been kissed.)Two things are really bothering me about this whole thing, though. First, the crowd was incredibly rude before she started singing. Really, has the world (this was in Scotland, not the USA) become such an inconsiderate place? Does no one have common decency anymore? What happened to treating others the way we would like to be treated?The second is the way this is being reported. Reporters seem shocked that such a beautiful voice would come from someone who doesn't look beautiful by their standards. What? Only pretty people can sing?Now that I think about it, this is probably one problem, not two. If she'd been a Beyonce (or Rhiana, or Jay-Lo, or whoever) look-alike, would she have been treated so badly? Would the press have been so surprised? Sadly, I don't think so.
