I really dont get all the hoopla, if she wanted to be a super model then yes I'd see her as an underdog, but she's a singer - who gives fuck what she looks like 99% of the time people listen to music you aren't seeing the performer.

why everyone is so proud of her and is amazed by her performance judged her before she opened her mouth.

way to go society

I agree...this 'amazement' that the woman could sing is PREDICATED on an assumption that because she dressed frumpily and acted weird, that she simply MUST be a kook.

The amazement is not with the woman - its with themselves and the fact that this woman shattered THEIR preconceptions. I find this entire thing quite condescending.

Yes, she's a decent singer. But everyone's treating her like a mental retard...not expecting her to be even fairly competent at random shit.

Here's a novel idea: How about people FUCKING WAIT before coming to a judgment and let these contestants simply exhibit their talents or lack of?

I wasn't necessarily shocked, because I wasn't expecting anything. I was simply waiting to see what she had. However, EVERY person in that audience had already written her off. That says more about THEM than this fucking woman. She's ultimately irrelevant. What we are witnessing is simply people's shock at THEMSELVES that they could have been so utterly wrong in their pre-judgments.
 
Eh... I'm pretty sure they HEAVILY edited the audience reaction ... they zoomed in a couple bitches face when they look disgusted etc. Most people had normal faces when they first saw her.

Look if you want to get down to the brass tacks,

Yes that show and other supposedly reality type shows are really fucked up, and on so many levels. For starters they are not real, through editing, scripting, and other inane behind the scenes shit, viewers emotions are taken on a roller coaster ride, in order to place them in weak psychological states, which make them (viewers) more amenable to whatever the end objective is:

1) Buy More Widgets

2) Start More Wars

Cynical but yeh thats Me...
 
Missed this kinda singing since a long time....Great vocal modulation....
She could be a wonder for a certain short period......she dose'nt seem to have a long career cause she seems stereotypical.....
 
This was so big I saw it the other day on the news here in Mexico but couldn't really figure out what was going on.

Watched the clip, was great.

It resonates with me because its more than just an underdog win story, it has a real moral to it that I think a lot of us can relate to in our own lives.

It seems like most people these days bring a lot of negative no-you-cant attitude towards positive things you want to achieve in life. This lady pwnt them all.

Yeah, I think the woman herself is cool shit. I just didn't like everyone else thinking she couldn't sing when they first saw her.

I saw her doing some interview and they asked her about bullies and shit like that, she didn't even have any residual anger towards them, she actually said "well, now they're a lot friendlier"...I definitely hope she is successful cuz she def deserves it.

Nope, she seems to have a pretty decent range. Check her out singing something that is almost diametrically opposite to the operatic Les Miz number:

This girl actually has soul. I think this cover of "Cry Me A River" is better than Diana Krall's, and this is coming from a long time Krall fan...
 
Nikko, she sounds amazing in that video. Very sexy voice.

Interesting -- she's almost 47 but she looks 65.
 
You all should be taking notes on this because a shitload of people just got played. Those of you who say that the hoopla was created by all the people who prejudged her before she started singing are only partially correct. The producers of the show knew how well she could sing and they also knew what the initial reaction would be.

If you look at that show, plus all the other "Idol" variants, they dedicate a considerable amount of time toward eccentrics that claim to be the best singers ever, then completely fuck up a song. They do it so much that it has come to be expected.

They also have another common gimmick in that someone who is considered a serious contender will get eliminated, causing a lot of backlash from the viewers and ultimately bringing in more viewers to the show. Pissed off people are much more likely to perform an intended action than happy people.

So the sentiment of the audience in these situations is manufactured, and the only fault on the part of the viewers is that they fell for it.

I wonder if the judges knew. Because they seem to be acting just a little bit.

She also hesitated to say a collection of.......a collection of villages but when asked whom she wanted to be as successful as she instantly answered "Elaine Page" . I'm wondering if it was rehearsed.(the questions atleast).
