con⋅de⋅scen⋅sion: voluntary assumption of equality with a person regarded as inferior (thank you dictionary.com, I'll take it).
Wow. I mean, I loved Susan Boyle's performance too. The woman is talented. A lot of people are. I am hard pressed however to find a more obvious example of cloying people trying their very hardest to contrive a situation in which they build an image of themselves as being judgemental only to consume said image in order to lavish another image of kindness upon themselves. The shallow and judgemental simply appropriate ideas of fairness and kindess in their own favor here. Sheep! Cheap! Callous!
