Susan Boyle, the latest darling of “Britain's Got Talent” wowed audiences worldwide when she shared her rare singing ability. When the frumpy, 47-year-old woman with thick eyebrows, bad hair, and cankles took the stage, both the judges' and the audience's reactions to her were nothing short of nasty. When she stated her age, Simon Cowell, also of American Idol fame, rolled his eyes, as though her being a 47-year-old woman rendered the idea that she could have any worthwhile talent to offer ridiculous.

When Susan Boyle said that she wanted to be a professional singer, she was not only openly laughed at, but shots of the audience also showed people shaking their heads, covering their mouths in amusement, and also rolling their eyes. The obvious assumption was that this middle-aged woman whose performance of femininity was so sorely lacking could not possibly possess any of the talent she would require to aspire to the heights of Elaine Paige, the first lady of British musical theatre.

Susan Boyle, unfazed by the open public disapproval, proceded to sing everyone into a state of breathless, teary awe when she sang "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables and as soon as she opened her mouth and let out those first notes, the audience was shocked into applause, as though Susan Boyle had performed some measure of magic or a small miracle, because, you see, she is not very attractive, and she is a bit long in the tooth, and her sassy pelvic thrusts were awkwardly executed. The obvious expectations of her based on her age and looks alone made me feel sad.

I like to imagine that we have moved some distance from the antiquated stance that physical beauty is equal to the innate goodness of a person in morality, spirituality, and ability, but the world's reaction to Susan Boyle defeats my imagination's power to transform reality.

Moreover, The Scottish star - who shot to fame earlier this year after finishing runner-up on UK reality TV contest Britain's Got Talent - is said to be thrilled at the prospect of being chosen for to lend her voice to the movie James Bond, which stars Daniel Craig and is due out in 2011.
