I think it is Boyle's adorable/underdog personality on the tv show she was on that gave her those numbers. It is her personality that kinda makes people feel sorry for her and makes people wanna buy it. Not saying she isn't talented, and I don't dislike her, but the whole Susan Boyle Brigade is just another "2009 Fad," cause we all know we won't be hearing any of her songs in any popular genre market.
