I hate reality shows and a loathe American Idol, but if you haven't looked at the clip of this gal singing in the U.K. version of AI, do yourself a favor. Unbelievable.
Puts me in mind of a favorite Harry Chapin song "Mr. Tanner" and of the story about drummer-bandleader Chick Webb, who took one look at a young Ella Fitzgerald and said there was no way he'd have an ugly girl like that fronting his band, until she opened her mouth and sang, at which point he hired her on the spot. (Chick himself was a homely fellow, and a dwarf, so he had no real business talking.)
