I have always picked a winning performer. I must have a sensitive button that produces tears and internal vibrations whenever I hear or see a absolutely beautiful performance. Susan Boyle affected me that way. More than normal tears flowed at the whole segment of her performance. Watching the judges highly emotional responses added to the beautiful scene. The adverse judgement regarding her looks are totally erroneous views. Some of our top performers looks do not outshine Susan Boyle. I am not one to run to buy music, but I am anxious to purchase her ist recordings.
