I'm also glad she didn't win. Her voice is ok, its not a once in a generation voice like some have suggested in the media.

I also still believe that her appearance got her noticed by the producers and played a huge part in her being given the opportunity to participate on the show in the first place.

Where the "wow, we've never really had anyone looking like her, let's put her on..." ended and her natural vocal gifts took over, hard to say.

Well, maybe Paul Potts is pretty frumpy looking in his own right...

My point is just that if she was better looking, ten years younger, I think her chances of getting as deep into the process as she did would have been much less.

I really enjoyed the winners...
