To Judge or Not To Judge?!?

You can't judge a book by its cover. Well...at least you shouldn't!! You have most likely already seen or, at least, heard about Susan Boyle - a recent contestant on Britain's Got Talent. She was judged by the audience as she appeared on the stage - before she even opened her mouth. She didn't seem to fit the mold of a professional singer.
