Susan Boyle has been the target of some quite nasty abuse.I cannot imagine that anyone can deny she has a fantastic singing voice so I can only assume it's because her face and body don't fit or it's easy to dismiss her because of the connection with a show that we all like to look down on..It's a sad indictment if that is the case as she really doesn't deserve to be brushed aside at all..

She has got a good voice but that alone is not enough in my view. I don't think she is unique there are quite a few very good singers all doing different things. There are those at the West End, Broadway, wherever Opera is and so on. Many who probably don't do much because singing alone is often not enough.
She is very technically talented at singing but there is no creative talent or new material (i.e new creative work from other writers). That is the hard part, the part that fewer than do. Some of the greatest songs, bands, artists may not have been the best guitarists, drummers or vocalists but created great music.
That's why I think she wasn't nominated for the Brits.
I also think the image thing is rather tiresome. I never saw the big deal. Someone who isn't the greatest looking person in the world is a good singer. It's not that surprising and I think Simon Cowell and his record label made a bigger deal out of it because it helped shift her records.
Anyway the Brit nominations are always weird. JLS getting so many nominations is stupid.
