Remember William Hung? The She-Bangs dude from American Idol in 2004. Yea yea, that cute, not-so-good-looking, baby faced, goofy Chinese who got famous without having to get through the audition. All he did was just turning up for the audition, did his daisy doos & groovy moves, and wallah...he's famous.
-------------------------
About a week ago, in a talent contest called Britain's Got Talent 2009, 60 year-old telephone engineer, Andy Demetriou turned up for the audition & managed to annoy as well as entertain the judges & crowd with his cool dance moves, but did not managed to pass the audition.
-------------------------
Now, let me show you that not all Willy Hungs sing badly.
On the same day, Susan Boyle, currently the most talked about 47-year-old lady from a village in Scotland, shocked the judges and audience when she sang marvelously in her audition - like an angel.
Before that, many people were laughing in sarcasm on her appearance & age, but they could never imagine that the person standing in front of them could actually stunt everybody with her wonderful vocals. Thank God there's no age limit set for the contestants.
This is undoubtly a must-watch.
A video of the Scot's audition uploaded on
Youtube has been watched over 16.5 million times in just 6 days, and an astounding 28 million views in total for all the videos of her on YouTube so far! The
internet community around the world is talking about her. People were so impressed that they helped set up an official site of her:
http://www.susan-boyle.com/ and also a couple of fan sites too.
Even one of the judges, Simon Cowell - who is famous for his sarcastic remarks in the American Idol series was so impressed that he stood up and applauded.
With the potential and fame, it's never too late for her to start her career in singing.

Last year, cute 6 year-old Connie Talbot sang her way to finals with her Sound-Of-Music-like vocals. And she is now a famous kid.

In 2007, Paul Potts, a mobile phone salesman, was also another great jaw-dropper participant, had a similar situation sang an opera piece by the late Luciano Pavarotti during the contest, had won the competition.
He is now famous & his albums are selling like hot cakes across the world. He's going to publish his 2nd album very soon.

In American idol 2006, an audition contestant, Briana Davis. Not many people can accept her style but she can really sing! See for yourself. She passed her audition and had the chance to get to Hollywood.
-------------------------
Lets look at the seems-confident-and-arrogant-but-worthy ones, shall we?
An all-men dance group who dare call themselves Flawless proved the audience right by throwing out a near synchronous dance act in front of the judges and trilled the whole crowd during the Britain's Got Talent audition this year.
Awesome performance, ha ha, well done!
So, do you still wanna judge people by their appearance?
