Put that outfit on a 20-year-old and people would say how pretty she looked...people are really picking on her because she is bigger than we're used to seeing, she has grey hair and bushy eyebrows. She has dressed nicely (fashionably) from day one. Look at the video again, you'll see.
It depends completely on your individual fashion sense but I doubt a 20 year old would leave the house wearing that outfit. It takes a strong woman to pull off black tights and white shoes!

I don't get the impression people are picking on her (maybe I am wrong), people just seem interested by her because she is different to "normal" celebrities. Just by letting people know that she is a 47-year-old woman who has never been kissed and lives with her cat has allowed people to judge even before they have seen her appearance. Unfortunately, that it is just the way society is. Reality programs like Idol and X-factor can allow someone to be perceived in a certain way just by fancy editing. I just hope that she remains true to herself and doesn't get carried away with the make over and end up with a set of Day-Glo teeth!

I really like her and I hope she continues to do well.

Sorry to butt in again, but watching her performance on Youtube literally sent chills down my spine. She has an incredible voice. I think she mentioned that she wanted to be like Elaine Paige...well her voice is BETTER than Elaine Paige's voice. Her performance was mesmerizing, inspiring and captivating. When she first came on stage, there were a lot of funny looks from members of the audience, but as soon as she started singing, people were simply in awe.

I wish this lady all the best....she has a voice as powerful as any I've heard and I put her voice up there with the likes of Stevie Nicks and Dusty Springfield.

As for her appearance, really, what's so bad? So she's an older lady with bushy eyebrows...SO WHAT? I'd rather hear her singing than the complete and utter morons in the charts, that's for sure.

I think it compliments her though. It's not like anyone changed her. She actually did it all herself!

She's wonderful. I love that lady. She does have a great voice, doesn't she?

People... please take the above post as the parody of us, the public, that it is intended to be. And it is a shame that we, as a mass of people, do have a tendency to behave this way.

And what are is her highest Youtube view count now? 40 million? 50 million?

But now there is competition from the girl in the pink tutu.
