Susan Boyle Won’t Get “Makeover,” Vows Judge

The frumpy 48-year-old "needs to stay exactly as she is because that's the reason we love her," Holden insists. "She just looks like anybody who could live on your street." "The minute we turn her into a glamour-puss is when it's spoiled," she says.

A makeover "can perhaps come later when she has signed the album deal and conquered America," Holden adds. "For now we'll keep her exactly as she is because that's why we've all fallen in love with her. I think it's the underdog thing."

More than 11 million viewers have watched her perform "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical Les Miserables, and she has attracted a fierce celeb following, including Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, who said Boyle's performance "made me teary!"

She said the intense worldwide reaction "hasn't sunk in yet."
