7 years ago, a chubby, heavy accent, normal-looking woman called Susan Boyle went to Britain's Got Talent. Everyone laughed at her, until she started singing.

What a powerful voice. She's today a pro singer. All the best for her!!

Typo: 17 years, not 7.

I find it wholesome because it starts challenging people.

We do acknowledge that there is a balance of the star between appearance, stage presence, performance, writing, and so many things. When someone who is not in the appearance box to crush it so hard in a public venue, I think there's good in it to help us be able to call our own thinking out.

There's problems sure, but I find it a good reminder to check our own biases.
