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..

Or perhaps it's because the media have spend the last few months ramming down our throats how great she is, and how wonderful it is that she did so well after such a hard life.
When, in reality she is a good singer (I have heard better, however) who had a bad life, but then entered and lost a talent contest but was noticed by the man who was responsible for Mr Blobby.
Now, having looked at a list of previous winners (I couldn't find a list of nominees), they are ALL people who are known for recording original work. I stand to be corrected, but I don't believe Susan Boyle has ever sung something that is not a cover version. As such, she may well be ineligible.
In fact, I personally think that the Brits should NOT be about sales. Otherwise, you'd just end up with a situation where those irritating novelty records the record industry likes to inflict on us from time to time won awards because they spent two weeks at no. 1..
