I have to admit, I personally think both Allison Moyet and Kirsty McColl have (or had, in Kirsty's case) better voices than Susan Boyle. Better music as well.
The thing is, Susan Boyle *has* been marketed on her image. If she was being marketed on her ability to sing, why did the producers of BGT even mention her bad life? Why have the press laboured it so much?

I don't think she has been marketed on image..I think that they have kept her as much out of the limelight as possible because her face doesn't fit..
Anyway I'm sure that she will do well through the internet and doesn't really need the Brits to have success.
