2. Oh, come now ...........
You're hardly the only person who thought that crappy song is horrid. If it's Andrew Lloyd Webber, it's a given that the song will be sappy and cheaply sentimental. What sentient theater-goer doesn't know that?

Never confuse DU with the real world - lots of us out here were transfixed by the Susan Boyle experience, but it was simply because - and let's use real plain language here - she's a freak and she could sing really well. Sort of like the sideshow at the carnival, only that song provided the requisite heartstrings tug.

Do you think the people at that TV show didn't know that? Do you think that whole thing was utterly spontaneous?

While you're clapping yourself on the back, you really should unburden yourself of that delusion. Those awful songs just seem to have the knack of hitting the soap opera part of our brains, and we react accordingly.

Everyone with a brain knows this, and if you were attacked for it - what a laugh those people are - well, they're even less informed.

Outside world - it's a good thing .................
