The reality show “Britain’s Got Talent” has given birth to yet another celebrity – Susan Boyle. But the fairy tale story of this ordinary woman from Scotland has already seen an ugly twist when she failed to win the talent show despite her meteoritic rise and overnight fame. Her performance was a hit on YouTube and world over. She had whole of America backing her. But it was British viewers who finally didn’t send her enough votes and showed her the door.
The exit of Susan Boyle from the show is not an exit at all. In fact just after losing in the final, Susan Boyle suffered from ‘emotional exhaustion’ and had to be admitted to a London Clinic. The paparazzi are now following her every move and every emotion. This is a new beginning for celebrity Susan Boyle who is expected to sing in front of US President Barack Obama too.
Susan Boyle has many fans and her song was downloaded some 200 million times. But there were hate sites too. She was disliked for the same reason she was adored by people – her ordinariness. Of course that’s the celebrity package these days- bouquets and brickbats! Publicity is inclusive of negative publicity. It remains to be seen whether she will be a celebrity or a punching bag. Hope Susan Boyle understands the rules of the game and doesn’t end up in Clinics often for treatment.

Susan Boyle will definitely make it to the top; her voice is magnificent!
Unfortunately most people today run to their Drs for any little emotional turmoil, hopefully Susan isn’t one of those, but if she is she’ll outgrow it!
It takes a lot of guts & maturity to go audition for the first time at the age of 47, especially when one doesn’t look like Barbie!
Susan, you’ve got the best voice I’ve ever heard! Keep on going…I will back you up every step of the way!

Susan Boyle is my favorite singer in the world and she has a successful future ahead of her. She has a gorgeous voice and a sweet smile which has won over the hearts of millions. Those who try to knock her down are just jealous. Susan spent many unselfish years taking care of others so now God is rewarding her. I love you Susan, and I can’t wait for your CD!!!!!!!
God knows that Susan Boyle has certainly been a punching bag, and it’s pathetic. I’ve never seen the tabloid rags as hard on anyone, and she’s never done anything to deserve it.
Yes, they knocked her down, but she got back up. Her whole life has taught her how to be brave and fight, and she’ll make it.
We agree 100% with what Debbie said on the jun 24,09 posting SUSAN, we would love to have you come to AMERICA, when the time is right for YOU.
Thank-you.
Well, ultimately, Susan Boyle has the last laugh and can laugh all the way to the bank, She has a huge niche following now; worldwide, She doesn’t need Simon or any other contests, She is my favorite singer now. I’m going to buy any album she records, and so are millions of other fans. All celebrities get praised as well as trashed. Susan has dealt with adversity all her life, she’ll survive and succeed! Go. Susan, go!!
I love susan boyle. I am patiently waiting for an album or a cd. Maybe she should come to America and make the album. Show herself to Americans who are so anxious to here her angelic voice. American has talent but no one like susan. That voice comes around every 50 or so years. I consider myself lucky to be able to listen to her everynight on u tube. God bless you susan
