After her brilliant performance this weekend, and the Twitterati (Demi Moore) spreading their love, the YouTube videos have had 11 million viewers. The Guardian says that the Britain’s Got Talent section of the itv.com website had attracted 500,000 page impressions between midnight and around 10am today.

The Washington Post yesterday ran a story about Susan but Mary Jordan said that:

All the adulation has come with a tinge of guilt. On Internet sites where Boyle’s story has been endlessly churned over, much of the discussion centers on how people initially expected nothing from Boyle because of her decidedly unglamorous looks.

Many have said it was a poor reflection on both the live audience and others watching that they were surprised when a “frumpy woman” turned out to have the “voice of an angel.”

Boyle herself has noted the issue but seems to be unfazed.

In a British newspaper interview, she said she entered the contest at the behest of her late mother, who urged her to “take the risk.”

She said it was “a bit of a shock” to see herself on television, and she thought she looked too fat — “like a garage.”

“Modern society is too quick to judge people on their appearances,” she said. “There is not much you can do about it; it is the way they think; it is the way they are. But maybe this could teach them a lesson, or set an example.”

Finally I found the code of the video of Susan Boyle appearance at Britain’s Got Talent. It’s been restricted till now:
