It's the gulf between assumption (oh lordy, here comes another tuneless car-crash) and reality (oh okay, she's got a decent singing voice) that's led to over 5 million YouTube hits, gushing tweets from Demi Moore and disturbing tabloid headlines involving the vile porn dwarf and Piers Morgan. As well as this blog post, of course...
