As far as I am concerned it is nothing to do with the looks, the age, the learning difficulties, it is the voice. I don't think her voice is as wonderful as others do, I thought her version of Memory was very karaoke, had tuning and timing issues and did not warrant a standing ovation. It would have been better had the judges been honest and say so to at least appear impartial.
On saying that I know she is going to win, I just do not think she will win for the right reasons and I fear that eventually the backlash will do Susan more harm than good. Like all these shows much of the support she is getting will disappear when it moves on to the next big thing. How will she feel if the sales in the future do not match the current level of support?
