The Second Coming of Susan Boyle
Britain's Got Talent churned out another unlikely-looking pop star last week when the pop-slash-opera, don't-call-us-Josh-Groban duo Charlotte and Jonathan performed. Their debut (specifically Jonathan's) mirrored that of Susan Boyle's in 2009: unknown contestant walks onstage looking less than groomed and plasticized to the standards of a pop star, unknown contestant opens mouth and blows everyone away with supreme singing abilities, audience bursts into tears and can barely contain themselves. There's a nice twist at the end where Simon tries to tempt Jonathan into backstabbing his partner.
