Why one should never judge a book by it's cover
- Thread starter JAUQO III-X
- Start date
thanks, nice to see someone getting some recognition for being talented instead of the latest bimbo of the month that is supposed to be the next coming ( oops ) trying to sing, when she should be spinning around a pole at the local gentlemen's club.
The story - the fact that it's been a YouTube sensation - even made the main evening News last night.
Contrary to the OPs suggestion, I find its useful to judge a book by its cover when that book is of the adult variety. Sure you could open a copy of "Gay biker midgets" one day and actually be confronted by busty supermodels, but I'd rather not take that chance that more often than not, it would be gay biker midgets. YMMV, but there are some times when judging a book by its cover is just fine! 
So how come you know there is such a thing?
Seriously though, she does a great job, and I like the way she introduces herself.
Just goes to show that the media has it all wrong. What happened to times when you could be butt-ugly, gap-toothed, and otherwise goofy looking, but if you could actually SING or PLAY then YOU, the talented, could get a f****** RECORD DEAL?!
The sad part is that when they scanned the audience before she actually sang, some of the "beautiful people" had such derisive, scornful looks on their faces. It's a shame that she had to display such awesome talent before most of them were able to treat her with dignity and respect...
Most of the big acts of about 30 years ago wouldn't make it by todays standards.
I knew from the thread title what this was about. Watched it a couple of days ago. Not my type of music, I am not prone to emotion, I have 6 big tattoos and a seventh on the way, love heavy metal but listening to her sing gave me chills. Almost did bring a tear to my eye because of the emotion of the audience and the song.
At 1.51 the one male judge (not Simon) swallows and likes he has lump in his throat, verging on tears. Cool.

Based on how most of the rock bands I see today look like poor parodies of 70's groups, I would have to answer a resounding 'Yes!'
Har! Your diatribe reminds me of Margaret Cho's standup routine about her mother discovering a copy of "Assmaster" magazine. Hysterical!
Second only to the ultrasound of my first child, that is bar none the coolest thing I have seen this year! AWSOME!
