For the record ...

... I will piss myself laughing if Susan Boyle loses.

And I love knowing for a fact that I'm not the only one.

But she's So Speshul!

Apropos of nothing: Openly gay teen voted prom queen at LA high school

I'm really annoyed with "OMG SHE'S SO SPESHUL OMG NO WAIT WE HATE HER". It's both boring and embarrassing. And I feel sorry for her.

Same here. It's not her fault everyone lost their minds over her.

Exactly. Media attention: not her fault.

Oh, I feel sorry for her, all right. The media attention's gotten so ridiculous since she went on I kinda just want her to go away for her own good at this point. All of my laughter's going solely towards the media on this point -- after all of the Adam Lambert hype leaving him in the second, I won't be surprised if her hype, which is even worse than his, leaves her even further down in the rankings.

Personally, I can think of at least four of the other finalists I'd rather see perform -- Diversity, Shaun Smith, Shaheen Jafargholi and Aidan Davis all would get my vote before she would. Not that she's not good, she's just not the best one there by a long shot at this point, and the media's done such a bang-up job both making her into a lock for the top ten and an unwilling irritant in the tabloids that I won't be the least bit shocked if she loses, and unfortunately I can totally see the media turning around and milking "SHE LOST! SOCIETY HATES UGLY CHICKS!" or something for all their worth.
