Susan Boyle – Real Or Fake
By Daily News Editor

Today the American media couldn’t get enough of the extraordinary Susan Boyle’s recent triumph on Britain’s Got Talent. There seems to be no doubt that Ms. Boyle is on her way but surely no one could’ve predicted how quickly the hangers-on would start hanging. And not just any hangers-on but bona fide celebrities like Demi Moore and her 15-years-younger husband Ashton Kutcher.
Miss Boyle, of course, has more artistic talent in her throat than the Kutchers have in both of their pampered and groomed bodies combined. Demi confessed to being moved to tears by Ms. Boyle’s performance of I Dreamed A Dream after her husband urged her to view the video clip, as reported by the Daily Telegraph.
But surely these young and hip celebs have heard even live performances by extraordinary singers? So what was this reaction all about?
It seems to have something to do with the way Miss Boyle looks or acted.
This is what I saw when I viewed the Boyle video clip on YouTube -a supremely confident, outgoing, humorous, completely-at-ease with-herself middle-aged woman with a phenomenal singing voice who had been chosen to sing on a highly competitive nationally televised talent show.
When Miss Boyle self-assuredly walked out onto the large empty stage to face her judges, the camera zoomed in on a young woman in the audience with a look of disgust on her face.
The judges played up expressions of disbelief -presumably that a non-cosmetized woman in non-hip garb with a non-Demi body had the nerve to accept their invitation to perform? But somehow she had been chosen from the multitudes to be on the show.
Miss Boyle, in fact, consistently exuded a natural self-confidence backstage, onstage, and afterstage no matter what she was doing in the video clip. No sign of nerves, or doubt, that I could detect. The mainstream question of course is will she superficially transform -and maybe with the Hollywood-blessed help of the Kutchers.
Who cares? Miss Boyle has a voice that is one in a million -and she knows it.
