Being 47 myself, I give Susan two thumbs up! She's made of awesome, and I bet she knew all the time that she was going to surprise these guys. Although I think that a lot of the surprise is that she isn't gorgeous and glamourous more than her age. Ageism is a real thing, but 47 isn't 87, y'know? And in show biz, if you're not pretty, you're toast.

This show is an AI clone, right? I've never seen a whole ep of AI (I've watched enough humiliating clips, though), so I wasn't sure. Same guy, Simon? Bleh. I hate those shows. Those people were all ready to mock her, and she kicked their arses. Go her. :D

I think it was a combination of all of it: age, appearance, small-town background, goofy hip-shake there. But I saw an interview of KT Tunstall and she was first told she was too old - at 30!

Actually AI is a clone of an originally British show: Pop Idol. It didn't last as long. So who's copying whom, I'm wondering?

Yeah, Simon is the same.

We're probably copying them. We do that a lot.
