Does Susan Boyle Have Milton Bradley Syndrome?

By now you've probably heard the incredible story of Susan Boyle. The 47-year old British woman who spent her whole life caring for her ill mother and never left the house. Like Josie Grossie she's never been kissed. So she goes on "Britain's Got Talent" and because she looks like a frump, a spinster, a schlumpa-dinka, everyone writes her off as soon as she walks on stage. But then she starts to sing:

Now Boyle is the most famous woman in the world, leading some to wonder if she might have Milton Bradley Syndrome.

Quick explainer: Milton Bradley Syndrome is when someone has a talent that's overshadowed by a certain flaw (Bradley's temper, Amy Winehouse's drug habit, Susan Boyle's looks) but at some point people actually overrate how good that person would be if not for that talent.

In Susan Boyle's case, I think if she were a gorgeous girl, she probably would have had a record deal 25 years ago. But say she were an average looking girl, with that same singing voice. I doubt she ever would have gotten noticed, and she certainly wouldn't have become the worldwide singing sensation she is now.
