“It’s indescribable. It’s a bit like — being plucked from obscurity is a bit like, you know, going on a long journey. You don’t know what’s going to happen. You don’t know how it’s going to end. I don’t want it to end.”
In her heart of hearts, Susan Boyle is in love with her music, and her cat. But she did say she had never been kissed. Will the makeover for America’s Got Talent bring her that first kiss? Will she find love or is her love to remain her work?
With women still reacting to the Erin Andrews thin and nude video, I am going to present here comments from two people talking about women and weight from my piece on Skating Babies, in which I pictured the gorgeous Queen Latifah.
- He says: You can be as comfortable as you ike about your weight; be healthy and make the most of the positive, and still, if “HE” thinks you don’t look like you should- ie, like the anorexic women most often seen in the public eye, you become a loser. And it’s interesting that “HE’ can be overweight, balding- whatever- but he still has the last word about whether or not you are attractive. No matter what we think about ourselves, it’s men who are the final judges. And they are harsh.
- She says: Bridgette Jones did all right. (yes, I know she’s fictional). Last I heard, Susan Boyle, was doing alright. By the way, where is Susan Boyle?…
- He says: Yes. Fictional characters do well. Susan Boyle is alone. You can do beautifully, and even be happy alone. My point is that when you are overweight, or perceived as being so, you remain alone. It is still very much a man’s world.
Sad to say we are back into the mode of appearances, in fact, we seem to be obsessed with looks. . Let’s remind the men who complain about her weight, when Susan Boyle begins her song, we forget about looks and become lost in her music. And that is what music is all about, becoming lost in the art.
Susan Boyle does have a new makeover for America’s Got Talent and we wish her well.
