Susan Boyle is a downtown woman, she lives with her beloved cat with a humdrum life in a small village. However, with the popularity, Susan Boyle started to change her appearance to be more beautiful, and more attractive. She wore make-up and her dressing became fashionable as well. Some people hope that Susan could keep her original appearance, but some people like her new change. For me, I like the expression Susan gave me in the beginning so I hope she could be herself. She did not need to change her outside look because of others' judgements. But, no matter what appearance she is, I believe that her attitude is always the same.
By the way, there are many famous singers come from 'Britain's Got Talent'. For example, Paul Potts. He was a common mobile phone seller until he won the championship at 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2007. He became very famous all over the world and published his albums. He even had the honour to perform at the Royal Variety Performance in front of Queen Elizabeth II.
