      My professor, Dan Ibarra from Aesthetic Apparatus, discusses his feelings for Susan Boyle:

      By now I assume (or if your aunt is on the internet at all) you have already witnessed Susan Boyle’s “moving performance” on ‘So you think you’ve got talent?’ I watched it and I’ll admit that it was very beautiful. She is an amazing singer (I hope I didn’t ruin the surprise for you) but fuck this groundswell of emotional support that she’s receiving. By being impressed by her performance it seems to me like we’re implying that we should first always assume that ugly people have no talent and be surprised and moved when they actually do. I’d have preferred people be impressed by her ability alone and not have her homeliness be such a huge reason to believe in her. Honestly, I’m much more impressed when “beautiful people” have actual talent. (“Wow, Brad Pitt is actually a really GOOD actor!”)

      [end quote]

      I couldn't agree more.
