Looks can be deceiving

I thought the same thing. I was amazed by her voice, and was glad she was getting the recognition. However, I can't really see why everyone was so against her, if in fact they were, and why anyone would find her so undesirable. I agree they certainly made it seem that way. I just didn't feel that way.

Unfortunately, too many people judge a book by it's cover. In the entertainment world, more emphasis seems to be placed on looks, rather than talent.

Also remember on these shows they show you want they want you to see. They probably just took clips of people making those facial expressions to make you think everyone was against her at first.

I've watched several years of American Idol and I don't recall seeing Simon with such a huge, genuine smile on his face.

Good for this woman! I am very proud of her!

I think when someone is genuine we have the ability to see it immediately.

She showed us who she is - and her talent - and now all are in love with her.

I am happy she is getting all of the media attention and the whole world gets to know her.

I first saw a bit of her while at work...I had to wait to watch the whole thing until I got home. Wouldn't do to be crying like a baby in the office.

Just incredible.

I just saw an ad that Susan will be performing on The Early Show on CBS tomorrow morning.
