I don't mean to be sour grapes, but this was a Simon Cowell setup. Very wet effects on her voice, most likely pitch-corrected. I don't doubt she sang the notes, but she had help from the sound booth. I don't believe that the judges didn't know what they would see. Everything about this spells mass-manipulated setup. If they want an act to flop, they dry up the effects and take the processing off the voice.
I do wish Susan the best, but Cowell's "music" shows are pablum. He is a master manipulator. And the audience...wow. Encouraged to judge a book by its cover. Rude. I don't forgive the audience, even though it is a reaction that was, to my mind, clearly orchestrated.
And now that the "Cry Me A River" single has surfaced, I'm 100% certain that the producers had this one in the bag. But we love the ritual of the redemption, we love the underdog story. Shades of Marie Digby.
