Great Scot! Susan Boyle Loses Her Gray Locks

susan boyle before and after dark hair

When Susan Boyle's Britain's Got Talent performance of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Mis hit YouTube, a media frenzy followed. People were mesmerized by the frumpy woman's beautiful voice -- and her frizzy gray hair. Now, in a bid to become the winner, the 48-year-old overnight media sensation has undergone a hair makeover. The once gray lady is now a brunette!

Susan previously declared that she wouldn't change her appearance for the contest, stating, "I know what they were thinking, but why should it matter as long as I can sing? It's not a beauty contest."

But, with her new dark chestnut/auburn tresses and well-groomed brows, it seems she's gone back on her word and is singing a much more polished tune. Only time will tell if her new look will help her go all the way (wink, wink!).
Will a New 'Do Help Susan Boyle Win the Competition?
Yes! With her new makeover, she's the total package.40 (28.2%)
Her hair color doesn't matter, she was a shoo-in either way.87 (61.3%)
It won't change anything. She still won't be declared the winner.15 (10.6%)

I totally adore Susan, and I don't begrudge her for the dyed hair. I mean, everyone's allowed a little vanity now and then. She definitely earned it!
