But I can't help wondering, what would have been the reaction if Susan Boyle couldn't sing?
The same reaction as when beautiful people can't sing? American Idol, at least, holds attractive but deluded non-singers in the same contempt as the ugly non-singers.
Really, the article is dumb. It asks, "What would happen to an ugly person who represented that she was a great singer but wasn't?" Since the answer is clear, the question is pointless.
