My sister, Washu and I were doing stuff in the dining room in my parents' place when that came on the TV (it was there as background noise). We actually rushed out of the dining room into the lounge just to hear her sing, it was that good ;)
THANK YOU. I see all these posts of "ZOMG, who would've thought someone like that could sing. Just goes to show you can't be shallow about appearances!" I thought, didn't we see scads of posts about this two years ago? I don't know if it's the same people posting about it, but it's like "did being shallow somehow become okay again in the past two years?" Yeesh.
If being shallow wasn't acceptable (or even the norm) then I doubt these rubbish contrived shows would exist in the first place.
Ugly virgin can sing, surprises nasty bigots.
That's pretty much the whole story summed up.
Expect her to be abused by the media and music companies as an example of how totally unbiased and kindly they are, while selling us a horribly moralistic rags-to-riches ugly-duckling feel-good story.
1. Thanks to some shared genetics somewhere along the line, she looks very faintly like Terry Jones.
2. Thanks to early exposure to Monty Python on American public television, I therefore expect something Terry Jones-like to happen next. Like she'll finish this beautiful solo, and then she'll start talking about how she doesn't like her neighbors, all that yammering on all the time and the problems she's been having with her you-know-what, so anyway...

Not heard of her, but I guess the kitty got to miss Chris De Burgh talking about his new album of covers on BBC Breakfast ;-)
Still not quite sure how I feel about that *carefully hides his copies of the "Best Of" and "Man on the Line" albums out of sight*
