What Is So Wrong About Susan?

I have been ruminating on this for some time now. Such a big deal was made over Susan Boyle's so called "unattractive" and "homely" appearance. What is so extraordinary about such an angelic voice coming from a being who does not resemble the Western standard of beauty? What can such sensationalism do for her self-image? I wonder if the thought, "Wow. If I were attractive, folks would not have been so surprised when I opened my mouth" ever crossed her mind or was she haunted by it every second of her days. I bet the latter. The name Susan Boyle should be synonymous with voice, not physical appearance.
