Susan Boyle- What a Stunning Voice, Even for Someone as Tone Deaf as Me!

When it comes to appreciating the finer aspects of music I am really not up to it. I am tone deaf literally. But then, when I watched the Susan Boyle Youtube Video, even I was blown apart! I came to know about it from Alka.

By now it is all over the internet that how we should not judge a book by its cover. But I thought that Dennis Palumbo at Huffington Post has a deeper argument on this issue-

What would the judges and the audience have thought, and said, had her voice been a creaky rasp, or an out-of-tune shriek? Would she still possess that "inner beauty?" Would we still acknowledge that the derisive treatment she received before performing was callous, insensitive and cruel?

The unspoken message of this whole episode is that, since Susan Boyle has a wonderful talent, we were wrong to judge her based on her looks and demeanor. Meaning what? That if she couldn't sing so well, we were correct to judge her on that basis?
