I'll see your Susan Boyle
Comments:
I think the buzz about Boyle is not that she's so great - she's quite good, but not great. It's the surprise factor because of the packaging.
I agree with Anonymous - the true novelty is less that Susan Boyle can belt it out with feeling, but that, generically speaking, this voice comes out of that person.
Which, I hope is the point of posting k.d. lang as a counterpoint.
k.d. displays vocal skills that Susan Boyle can only dream about, and she did not stroll to fame and fortune on her good looks either.
