And You Said You Wouldn'tChange Susan Boyle ... New Look

Susan Boyle insisted she wouldn't change after she shot to worldwide stardom following her appearance on Britain's Got Talent.

But as she stepped out yesterday it appeared she had been on a shopping trip.

The Scottish singer had swapped her matronly look for a new, patterned dress and leather-look jacket, along with a pair of high heels.

---

Susan, 47, told this week's Star magazine she thought she looked 'like a garage' on TV, but vowed: 'I'm happy the way I am - plump!'

The Scottish spinster, who lives with her cat Pebbles, said she was 'much better looking' than Paul Potts, a previous winner.

[nmh]

She seems compfratable with who she is.

Isn’t it a pity that she MUST look different?

Apparently she has SUBSTANCE but her critics insist on APPEARANCES.

It’s a Happy Days tribute, featuring Fonzie’s jacket, Mrs. Cunningham’s dress and Mr. Cunningham’s calves.

[BunnySlippers]

You might be heartened to know there was an online poll that overwhelmingly said she should not change,

I think the pleather jacket is her own idea. :)

[kcvl]

There is nothing wrong with her wanting to look nice. Most of us want to look our best and I’m sure if millions of people were judging me I would try even harder.

[sinanju]

They’re gonna turn her into Brenda Fricker (the mom in “My Left Foot”)?

[BunnySlippers]

[GSP.FAN]

I hate that bitch.

[Randy Larsen]

I love her personality, her voice gives me goose bumps!

If she turns out to be a scam, I will be heartbroken!

She IS that good!

[Tublecane]

“Susan Boyle insisted she wouldn’t change after she shot to worldwide stardom following her appearance on Britain’s Got Talent...’I’m happy the way I am - plump!’”

What does that have to do with new shoes? She didn’t change very much.

[sinanju]

You never know. She could make gazillions if she loses a ton on NutraSystem/Weight Watchers/SlimFast, etc., and then shills for them.

When’s she going on Oprah?

[Frantzie]

Good for her. God let the woman have some fun. She has a wonderful voice.

[BunnySlippers]

She does not have a computer. Says she knows nothing about You Tube,

Said shr will live in her little mining town forever with her siblings.

[bvw]

Well, a fairly simple cosmetic and hair makeover would do an amazing job too. I guess they’ve told her no go on such. Her face, as it was on her big day, is a selling point. It is trademark.

Beautiful voice. Amazing.

[NoPrisoners]

There is nothing wrong with her wanting to look nice.

I'm with you. She's real and bought a new outfit. Good for her!

[ChocChipCookie]

Oh, please. She doesn’t look that much different.

[A_perfect_lady]

What new look? She looks the same to me. Was she supposed to wear that same gold dress forever? They don’t know that this coat isn’t ten years old. This article is lame.

[To Hell With Poverty]

Aw, all the dear really needs is an introduction to tweezers!

[Kimmers]

I think she does a great job of wearing clothes that look good on her.......granted I have only seen her in this outfit and the one she wore when she sang but I think she looks good.....

[BunnySlippers]

It doesn’t matter either way. If the jacket is old or new. She is a delight.

[AFreeBird]

She doesn't look all that different, and hell, even if she is "testing the waters" a bit, so what.

I guess there's a nine year old (or whatever) giving her some competition. Good for them. They both seem to have some God given talent.

[Desdemona]

Tweezers? I’d start with clippers and move to wax.

[mware]

I dont think she is the type of person that can handle relationships with a guy.

There are going to be lots of gold diggers in her future.

I hope she can handle it.

[cubreporter]

She doesn’t look different to me. She looks nice just as she did on the stage. I think since she won...she is perfectly correct in heading out to buy new clothes. Everyone would. She didn’t head to the botox store like so many have. Good for her. Good on ya Susan. :)

[ReneeLynn]

What is wrong with these people who can’t wait to pull an ‘aha!’ moment on this woman? So, she bought some new clothes. So what?

[Free ThinkerNY]

I’m so happy for Susan. Thank God she’s receiving all this attention. I love her voice. What a great gift. She’s finally getting the opportunity to share it with the world.

[Marysecretary]

No, she doesn’t. They should let her be herself.

[Shelayne]

Oh my goodness! She did change!

Clothes. (I imagine she also changes her underwear and brushes her teeth, for cying out loud!)

Good grief— do they call this journalism?

[Overtaxed]

But has anyone posted a picture of Pebbles yet?

[BunnySlippers]

Noooo ... but it would be great for the Kitty ping List. :)

[tflabo]

Well a beauty queen she ain’t—but a terrific lady with a fine singing voice. She is who she is!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice

"...never looks at any woman but to see a blemish...."

Beauty for some is in the eyes. For others in the ears. For those with an eternal view, in the heart.

[TNdandelion]

Exactly. She got a new outfit....it’s not like she got breast implants, lip plumpers, hair extensions, spray on tan and a face lift. lol

[SuziQ]

So she got a new dress and a jacket. What's the big deal? She looks the same as she did before, except with a new frock. Her hair and face look the same; she's just herself. I'm thrilled if someone bought some new clothes for her, or she bought them for herself. It's a great look for her.

I'd like to get an outfit like that, myself! I've just ordered a couple of jackets, but I'm not much of a dress wearer. I might have to find one like Susan's!

There is nothing wrong with her wanting to look nice. Most of us want to look our best and I’m sure if millions of people were judging me I would try even harder.

I agree. She still looks like she did, only a little more pulled together—not too drastic.

[My hearts in London - Everett]

The shoes she wore on BGT had higher heels than her shoes in this pic. Her hair hasn’t changed. Her brows are still natural. She’s changed her look simply because she changed her clothes?? LOL

[BunnySlippers]

Oh, I think it’s just copy. They wanted to do a story on her. They had a photo ... and created a story out of nothing.

[Cedar]

LEAVE SUSAN ALONE!

:)

[MaxMax]

If she can sing with an American flag over her face, I would certainly be interested,
in a date.

[Loyal Buckeye]

She better answer the gay marriage question right, or she will be history.

[stripes1776]

Good grief— do they call this journalism?

Sadly, yes. I suppose next the newspapers will let us know that she no longer goes down to the local river and pounds her clothes against rocks to wash them but has a washing machine.

[A_perfect_lady]

I like her too. It’s going to suck when the backlash hits.
