Amanda Holden upset that Susan Boyle dyed her hair brown

Susan Boyle has been adjusting to life in the global limelight. The stand out performer from Britain’s Got Talent has taken a lot of rather public jibes about her appearance. Apparently, she didn’t like the look of her own hair when she say herself back on the show. So, Susan Boyle went down to her hairdresser and had her hair dyed brown. There is simply no crime in covering up her grey but Susan Boyle still managed to show up on the cover of British tabloids.

Now, it appears that Amanda Holden isn’t happy that Susan Boyle has made changes to her appearance. Watch this clip and see how Amanda Holden says that ‘they’ talked about it and decided not to give Susan Boyle a makeover until after her possible win of Britain’s Got Talent.

A few things about that stand out for me. Firstly, we have a very well groomed woman such as Amanda Holden, who got a lot of her fame on the back of her looks, telling this woman she shouldn’t even be able to cover up her grey when the whole world is being as harsh as possible about her appearance. Then, you have the idea that she would have to get some sort of approval from a panel of three judges – two of which are middle aged men – in order to have her hair cut. Finally, there is the notion that they are planning to make over Susan Boyle at all.

Surely the whole point of the shock the judges were given was that what a person looks like on the outside has very little at all do do with the quality of their singing voice?
