And bless her heart she's cheeky and not such a sad sack as Paul Potts was. But if she wins, boy are they going to grab her head and savage those eyebrows into shape.

Sorry, I have to nourish my inner cynic here...
You don't think they set her up to be absolutely as homely as possible? Emphasized the eyebrows? Gave her hair a little special ratting?

But I like my cynicism. I get to be right so much more often that way.

I haven't watched a single thing on TV (via a television set) for about
6 months. But I have followed a few shows on Hulu, so my "TV" watchinghas actually gone up lately.
But I don't think "Britain's Got Talent" is broadcast in the United States anyhow. I think most people saw it via YouTube, like I did.

That was my impression. I don't normally post YouTube links here but this, to me, was exceptional.

Me too at least I considered myself a cynic. I'm beginning to realize that I'm an amateur amongst master cynics on this newsgroup, however.

I heard it. What did you think of it? Completely different than her show tune.

I thought it was pretty good. A bit stiff. Not jazzy enough. But I'm guessing she has had little or no training. and it wouldn't take much to get her to the professional level. What did you think?
