Rosie O’Donnell Champions ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ Stand-Out Susan Boyle

Rosie O’Donnell has joined a growing list of celebrities touched by the story of “Britain’s Got Talent” star Susan Boyle.

The former “View” moderator, who had been taking a break from her Rosie.com blog, hit her Web site on Sunday to champion the Scottish singer.

“Susan Boyle – once in a lifetime,” Rosie wrote in a poem style of the woman who rose to overnight fame after her performance of “I Dreamed A Dream,” from the musical “Les Miserables,” was put on YouTube. “Authentic real, the kind of tv we hardly see anymore in r pre packaged world.”

Rosie wrote that she was pleased that Susan, who was poked fun of by the judges on “Britain’s Got Talent,” before she opened her mouth, stood out for her talent over her looks.

“Out she came, like Fiona in shrek, reminding us all how to shine inside,” Rosie wrote.

Rosie added that she hopes Susan steers clear of a stylist in the future.

“Susan boyle, a woman i hope never gets a make over, her brows forever bushy, reminding the world, where beauty lives,” Rosie wrote.

And Susan herself said she has no plans to change her looks at present.

“Maybe I’ll consider a makeover later on,” she told the Times of London. “For now I’m happy the way I am — short and plump. I would not go in for Botox or anything like that. I’m content with the way I look. What’s wrong with looking like Susan Boyle? What’s the matter with that?”

But while Rosie and Susan are content with her appearance, Access readers voted in favor of a makeover for the YouTube sensation.

When asked, “Should ‘Britain’s got Talent’s’ Susan Boyle get a makeover?” our readers responded 61% to 39% to “Bring on the stylist! She deserves it!”

And it was the most voted-upon poll ever on AccessHollywood.com.
