It certainly does teach quite the lesson - the unabashed sniggering by the judges and the audience was incredibly rude, but she sure did soldier on. Sad to say, she's probably accustomed to getting that kind of reaction. Maybe next time all of those people there will think twice before writing someone off at first glance.

I'd add that I don't think that the judges held a candle to her in class or grace; yes, 2 of them admitted how rude their reaction was, but kind of enveloped their comments into a group scolding, "everyone was laughing at you at the start, etc" instead of taking personal responsibility and owning up to their own superficiality at the beginning; how about an apology too, or is that considered unnecessary or a ratings plunger?
She outclassed them all and very graciously stood there on stage listening to their drivel, combined with them acknowledging the obvious - this woman can sing her heart out and I hope she rocks 'em all the way to the top!
