Susan Boyle performing on Britain's Got Talent
She has been viewed over 20 million times on YouTube and become an overnight sensation thanks to her stunning voice, but now the singing spinster from Scotland could be in danger of losing her unique charm.
Why, we hear you ask? Well, apparently the powers that be and some image-obsessed American's have been pushing Susan to consider getting made over into a glamour puss.
Yes, they want to make her like everybody else and ruin what is so special about her. She's an ordinary woman with a powerful voice, that have moved movie stars Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher to tears with her performance.
When she first walked out on the Britain's Got Talent stage, we were all arguably a bit quick to dismiss her and what's more probably a little cruelly judgemental.
But Susan sure showed us didn't she? After belting out I Dreamed A Dream and wowing Simon Cowell, Pierce Morgan and Amanda Holden, she's now favourite to win the competition.
Instead of just enjoying her overnight success, the unassuming Susan is now reportedly being pressured from every which way to consider her appearance, and how it doesn't measure up to a conventional singer with that kind of voice.
Yes, by all means strip her of all her originality and make her just like everyone else, style her hair, fix her teeth and dress her up in some god awful clothes that may be fashionable, but on Susan won't be right.
The reason we all fell in love with her in the first place was because she was different, and we personally think its refreshing to see someone make it big who isn't a stunning twenty-something nobody.
Susan has bags of personality and that's very clear from the way she conducts herself, and we're sure we'll see more of that come out over the next few weeks.
What remains to be seen however, is if some pushy producers have their way and slowly transform Susan throughout the series, so by the end she is unrecognisable as the plain but delightful lady we first saw in Edinburgh, and is replaced by some carbon-copy starlet.
The reason that we would refer to Susan as a style icon is simple- she's a normal woman, who isn't ashamed of what she looks like and who she is.
She sends a positive message out to all those who maybe struggle with their weight or have image issues. She got up on that stage and performed, despite not looking like a standard pop star, which to be frank, we're all sick of anyway.
No Susan, you stay just as you are and don't let a team of stylists persuade you otherwise. Your mumsy fashion and messy hair are set to become big in the fashion world, just you wait and see.
