Susan Boyle wowed the audience and the world with her performance on a British talent show. The audience and judges seem to be surprised that a woman who doesn't fit the prevailing beauty standards of the day can be talented. In a big way. Well Boyle corrected their misconception.
We Arabs know better. We have been cured of such assumptions a long time ago. Yes. Before Haifa Wahbe and Dana, who confirmed our belief that looks and talent don't necessarily go together. Before they were even born, there was Umm Kalthoum. She was not known for her good looks, but, boy, did she have talent! Beautiful!
