The Huffington Post noted that the producers of the show would have anticipated the potential of this story arc, by deliberately presenting Susan Boyle
in a manner that would enhance this initial reaction.
The Herald described Susan Boyle's story as a modern parable and a rebuke to people's tendency to judge others based on their physical appearance.
Similarly, Entertainment Weekly said that Susan Boyle
's performance was a victory for talent and artistry in a culture obsessed with physical attractiveness and presentation.
The Washington Post believed that Susan Boyle
's initial demeanour and homely appearance caused the judges and audience to be "waiting for her to squawk like a duck".
New York's Daily News said that an underdog being ridiculed or humiliated but then enjoying an unexpected triumph is a common trope in literature, and the stark contrast between the audience's low expectations and the quality of her singing made Susan Boyle
's performance such an engaging piece of television.
