Never judge the Boyle by her cover... she could surprise twice!

Rapper Jay Z thinks Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle has the talent to make it as a fashion designer if she so wished.

In an interview with the News of the World, he said: ‘Everybody wants a piece of her and the market for her is huge’, he also said that the UK singing sensation would succeed based on the grounds that she would ‘appeal’ to women of a certain age.

Predictably most of my fellow bloggers have met the idea with a certain degree of negativity, with many speculating that the 'Hairy Angel' doesn't stand a chance.

Granted Su Bo does not maintain the boring airbrushed and Barbie doll image that we are all used to having rammed in our faces, but why the hell should that stop her?!

She was laughed at when she first jumped gleefully across the Britain’s got talent stage but when she opened that mouth of hers she certainly wiped the smirks off of the narrow minded faces in the crowd and the public warmed to just how... well... ‘human’ she is. 

Can I just bring your attention to Emma Watson... If I recall correctly, her public debut wasn’t met with roaring reviews as she squeaked her way through the first Harry Potter film as ‘Hermione Granger’ but now not only is she one of Hollywood’s most highest paid actresses’, she is also launching her own fashion range with PeopleTree, now who could honestly say that they saw that coming all those years ago? 

Ok, Watson may have the whole slim pretty girl thing working for her but why should that mean that she’s possesses anymore fashion knowledge than the rest of us? 

If there is one thing the fashion industry needs, it’s a human touch... less of this ‘trying to make a statement’ thing- there are only so many pairs of metallic spandex leggings and massively egotistical shoulder pads one can bear to look at before fighting the urge to be sick becomes the main priority... the essence of what I would suspect would be ‘normality’ would actually make for quite a refreshing change. 

If Susan Boyle was to start her own fashion range, I’m not saying I’d be there to snap it up (not at my age anyway) but I would at least stop to give it a chance before I passed any shallow judgement on it... learn from your mistakes people!
