Should Susan Boyle have a makeover?

Should Britain's Got Talent singer Susan Boyle have a makeover before tomorrow's show? Be honest. Do you think she could do with a bit of lippy, a touch of frizz ease on her hair and maybe a few minutes with Gok Wan to show her how to dress?

Boyle, 47, appeared on the show last weekend, surprising the audience and stunning the judges with her rendition of the Les Miserables tune I Dreamed A Dream. Since then she's had over 20 million views on YouTube, appeared on CBS, NBC and been duly patronised by everyone from Drew Barrymore to Demi Moore.

Lets take it as a given that our reaction to Boyle proves we are all as shallow and vacuous as Amanda Holden – after all, we get the television presenters we deserve.

"She needs to stay exactly as she is because that's the reason we love her. She just looks like anybody who could live on your street.

"The minute we turn her into a glamour-puss is when it's spoilt," says paragon of natural beauty Amanda Holden, in today's Mirror.

The question then, is what Boyle should do now? Surely it comes down to what she herself wants? If she fancies a bit of glamour or a touch of pampering before Saturday's show then why the hell shouldn't she have it?

Why is there any idea that if Boyle has a makeover we'll be disappointed, or that she'll somehow be letting the side down?

When she gave her audition performance Boyle wore a gold lace dress with peep-toed court shoes, so contrary to much of what has been written I'd say she does actually care about her appearance. Otherwise wouldn't she just have shown up in jeans and a T-shirt?

Who knows how long Boyle's 15 minutes will last? In the meantime, what's wrong with her getting a free haircut and a few beauty products? It's about making her feel good about herself, rather than forcing her to conform.
