Susan Boyle has it – Britain’s Got talent
Several friends pointed me to this video of Susan Boyle auditioning for the UK’s version of American Idol. She looks like a sturdy German farm wife as she takes the stage, drawing snickers from the young audience and mocking from the judges (which include Simon Cowell).

UPDATE: Is Susan Boyle ugly? Or are we?
Go Susan!
