How Times Change

" one moment what one song unknown Susan -- became an international singing sensation is C a -- jaw dropping performance on Britain's got talent. -- the audience and even Simon Cowell so far twenty million hits on YouTube. Rocket or heard a global fame for the first time the Internet credited for -- shooting star."

" okay."

" she does every Sunday Liz Trotta on the media. What a wonderful heartwarming story -- is that superficial celebrity obsessed loss of of society in the mainstream."

" It makes you smile everytime you here and it's a relieved to get away from politics for a week and talk about another use of the media and that is -- sensational. International star built by and it 87 minute clip on YouTube. And it truly bypassing Hollywood agents important newspapers. Films films stars their representatives. It's it's just an extraordinary thing I think I watch -- about 25 times so far you know every time you see it -- you kind of get emotional because this -- the song on the choice of song."

" But her story as -- claiming she's never been -- she's 47 years old."

" It's just absolutely astounding and amazing and what do you think it says about either a celebrity in this day and age and being the way the media."

" Handles it I mean we're reporting Madonna pawn off a horse. And we've got Susan Barlow -- the hearts of the lines."

" Well I think it's it's a couple of things. Eight and of course it after the initial surprise every newspaper in the world now is trying to analyze. It it and asking the same question you just asked. I mean it's a kind of no botox moment. Beyond all the super -- reality and elasticity and vulgarity of our culture where most people don't have any town and I mean most. I'm here -- this. Frumpy woman. Who. Indeed has talent without all these fake attributes. And I think it's kind of these people feel that this is extremely refreshing and this is what the media has been done. There's that a few odd notes."

" Such as the LA times police say says less than a leak. Ago she was just took less than a week ago Susan -- was just another 47 year old Scottish virgin. Well it's a tricky lead but at a bit star he. The New York Post today interestingly enough is questioning whether this was. Prepackaged a little too much into stage and all -- and really on the level and not spontaneous. But you know it's a specious argument because it's a case for you have to look at the reaction. And the response worldwide. Not just from people but from the press as well from all kinds of media has been astonishing."

" Do you think the media and all of us -- just become you know too cynical in this and TV age. What all those pop -- running around getting."

" I think more people are are wary. Of seeing people get out they're all gussy up as they used to say. All -- up and with all the synthesizing. And -- tricks with employees and all the modern instruments of amplification. People pretending -- and they can't. They have no I didn't know ability what so ever I think you -- it also ended in dancing what passes for dancing is. Untrained people doing stuff they would do out of the street. You know so there's I think it's a kind of refreshing purity about this and and the world has picked up on."

" We leave it to Leslie -- to -- of the untrained dancers are let me let that pass for a second and get back you can do that actually -- and -- right."

" Let me get back to -- what you think finally you think the sense about the media and and what will happen I mean she's got odds favorite now to win because she's. Real or she at least. Apparently seems to be real and -- and that's in this age of necessity -- we we go too often seems don't have that."

" Well Chris if she winds and even if it is by merit. Everyone is -- are not everybody there's always going to be some voices that say it's rigged. Not that there is some good competition for an opera singer who apparently is. -- favorite but you know even if she doesn't win -- this moment this week. And we have this it's astonishing seven minutes and this lovely lovely woman."

" Yeah I would urge everyone just go on if you haven't seen an and I can't imagine almost hasn't just type and Susan -- and take a look at this wonderful wonderful clip. And great not to be cynical."

" At some point that this week that this week next week could win back the politics -- upon our losers -- as always good to see."

" Thanks thank you."
