my point is, a random search of the internet could produce 1,000's of homely people, singing. law of averages even states that some will sing very well.
despite that, a HUGE deal was made out of it on the news here (and in UK as well, I assume) about how damned inspirational it is that someone that really isn't all that pretty can sing.
it was made out to be the most special thing since jesus wept (until the next day, when everyone had second thoughts and decided that some 12 y/o was better).
I don't discount that she can "really" sing, but what exactly about that performance so singularly special?
I find it hard to believe that the entire incident wasn't just a schtick to garner interest in the show.
I'm hoping yr the one with the answers.
