Celeb Who's That Girl?

Honestly? When I glanced at this picture I thought...

...it was a young Freddie Mercury. It's actually a young Susan Boyle. Video at Towleroad.

Could also pass as Gilbert O'Sullivan.

With that white glare across her nose, she reminds me of Adam Ant.

Are sure that's not Adam Ant?

She looks like Tom Hanks in Bosom Buddies.

She was ugly even then!!! How is it possible that this unattractive--and now ancient (47!!! I can't believe she still has teeth!!)--woman has any talent at all?? Doesn't everyone know that only young, attractive people are capable of having artistic dreams or talent of any kind? Everyone knows your life is practically over when you hit 25, and we all just become inert shells devoid of spirit or creativity!

I can only be sarcastic about this whole ridiculous thing.

I would love to see her sing some Queen.

At least she was singing some Barbra.

Freddie Mercury? Come on, Dan.

She resembles Russell Hitchcock of Air Supply.

Air Supply guy, definitely! Good call, Bub! @ 10.

At the risk of speaking ill of the departed, Freddie Mercury had the dentition of a rodent. On the other hand Susan Boyle has good teeth, which is remarkable for a British person.
