Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bad lemon bars are pretty damned good, unless they're salty. I'm sure yours are fine, lisa.
Sara has a house! Sara has a house!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Am I the only curmudgeon who thinks that Susan Boyle is not that good?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Here's my thing about Susan Boyle: There are a million of her in church choirs all over the place. You only get to be famous when you're a good singer AND good-looking and/or charismatic AND lucky.
But really, the song choice is 90% of that performance.

“Not dead yet!”
bon, I think she's got a fairly amazing natural talent that's only had minimal training. But the bones are there, especially to be the kind of singer she wants to be.
But no, you're certainly not the only one-- I think as her popularity has increased and people know going into watching the clip that they're supposed to be hearing something extraordinary, they're perhaps predisposed to be more critical and hear the flaws.
I just like the overall effect of the moment though-- I'm a big sap that way.

Also: Hi Noah! Hi!! (I got distracted by all of my Susan Boyle feelings that have been bubbling up...)

Yeah, I think these days the good singer part is optional when it comes to becoming a famous singer. (Example: Britney "Six Cats in a Blender" Spears)

Well, she's got charisma plus lucky plus drive(n family).
I am reminded of the Giles line about young male singers selected for their ability to dance.

It is really ridiculous how much Drew Barrymore looks like Little Edie Beale in that older makeup. In the ads, at least.
See I always think Drew Barrymore looks likes Jess.
ION, I really need to leave the office.
