May 28, 200916 yr Susan Boyle 'considered quitting' Britain's Got Talent Susan Boyle has considered quitting Britain's Got Talent altogether due to the pressures of fame, show judge Piers Morgan said. Morgan launched a defence of the 48-year-old, dubbed the 'Hairy Angel', who is the favourite to win, saying that she has been in "floods of tears" this week and suffering from almost crippling nerves. Writing on his internet blog, Morgan said that "frightened rabbit" Boyle had fleetingly felt like throwing in the towel to escape all the attention. He said that reading bitchy comments about her had made him feel "very, very angry". He wrote: "Susan is finding it very, very difficult to cope, and to stay calm. "She has been in tears many times during the last few days, and even, fleetingly, felt like quitting the show altogether at one point and fleeing all the attention. She's had to read stories and columns, and listen to radio and TV phone-ins, calling her arrogant, insincere, spoiled, fake, mad and so on. Now, I have been called all that and worse in my career, but I spent 20 years in Fleet Street and know how to deal with it. Susan Boyle has never experienced anything like this and is like a frightened rabbit in headlights." The finalist lost her temper in the lobby of the Wembley Plaza Hotel in north London after being "wound up" by two strangers. Police stationed at the hotel intervened in the situation. Boyle was photographed talking to two police officers in the car park following the incident. A spokesman for Boyle said: "The police were escorting a journalist from the premises who had been winding Susan up. Susan and her sister were talking to the police telling them what had happened." Speaking to Nick Ferrari on LBC 97.3 radio, Morgan described the church volunteer as "an incredibly sweet, nice, gentle person who has been propelled through this show. "Suddenly, a month later, she's the biggest star on the planet and I don't say that lightly... "Anybody who has gone through that incredible transformation is going to be feeling the most unbelievable pressure, not least of which because the final is on Saturday and she knows that everything may rest on that one performance and you could see the nerves almost crippling her on the semi-final show and I just think it's time that everyone slightly backed off... "Knowing her as I do, she's been incredibly upset this week. She's been in floods of tears." Boyle, from Blackburn, West Lothian, was propelled into the spotlight following her audition for the ITV talent show, singing I Dreamed A Dream from the musical Les Miserables. She went on to become a global internet sensation, scoring millions of hits on video site YouTube and gaining celebrity support including that of Hollywood star Demi Moore. Morgan told the radio station that talk of Boyle's hotel outburst had been "massively exaggerated... "She is getting this ferocious attention and my heart does go out to her a bit. "She is really upset about all this and apparently she's really upset that she may have offended me. "You know what, Susan, all you have to concentrate on now is doing an amazing performance on Saturday. "You're the red-hot favourite. There are people who want you to fail. "There are people who want to snipe at you, who want to kick you because now suddenly you're so popular. "All she has to do is do a great performance." Boyle will compete for the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Show. The semi-final stages continue today, with sax sensation Julian Smith tipped to make it through to the final showdown. The 39-year-old from Birmingham will be joined on stage by grandfather and granddaughter singing duo Two Grand aka John Neill and Sallie Lax, aged, 76 and 12 respectively, from Doncaster and punk pop act Brit Chix from Boston, Lincolnshire. Breakdancing OAP Fred Bowers, dancing dog act Jackie Prescott and Tippy Toes, from Oxford, and dance troupe Sugarfree, from Essex, will also take part. Singer Callum Francis, 12, from Hertfordshire, and burlesque act Fabia Cerra, 35, from Oxford, are also hoping to get to the final. William Hill said it has started to see a possible Boyle backlash and eased her price today from 4/7 to 4/6, with Shaheen Jafargholi cut from 6/1 to 5/1. The bookies is also offering 10/1 that Boyle swears during the live final and 100/1 that she proposes to Morgan following her victory. So she wasn't arguing with the police as reported front page of todays Sun.
May 28, 200916 yr Delighted, an unexpected surprise that Julian got through. But I'm seriously pissed off that saccharine fest 2 Grand, who should have been named Sob Story got through for some god awful vocals. Sugar Free should have got through IMHO. Of course Callum (who made the last 8 of Andrew Lloyd Webber's I'd Do Anything to find an Oliver (at least he did better than Eggnog who was 3rd in X-Factor 2008 who was eliminated just before the TV show stage)) was never going to get through because he would have seriously dented the votes of Simon Cowell's 2009 BGT "chosen one" Shaheen "the ringer" who has appeared in the West End Musical Thriller as the young Michael Jackson, as well as parts in TV shows such as Torchwood, Casualty, and several TV adds. With Simon Cowell's PR being Max Clifford (most recently PR "Saint Jade Goody of East Angular", and in the last couple of weeks Peter Andre) whom historically has a very healthy relationship with Rupert Murdoch Inc (including The Sun, the Daily Mail) & Richard Desmond (Daily Express & Daily Star), it was no surprise to see some nasty stories about the odds on favourite to win 2009 BGT today, which gullible members of the public (i.e. those who vote on phonelines for talent shows to make Simon Cowell even more obscenely richer), will now not vote for Susan Boyle come Saturday as a result. This coming off the back of Lily Allen's Tuesday blog attacking the Scottish operatic singer, and praising Shaheen. Oh what a surprise.. not. We (and the bookmakers) all know that if her 2nd album had bombed she would have replaced Dannii Minogue as an X-Factor judge for 2009, to hype up some fake aggro between her & Cheryl Cole, creating Lily Allen as the new young attractive Sharon Osbourne, etc. The fact all this is going on and members of the Great British Public can't see they are being conned/manipulated really makes me annoyed. I just hope it backfires or Diversity or even Stavros Flatley come through the middle to win. Betfair.com Latest odds: Susan Boyle 7/5 fav (she was 4/7 on yesterday and is drifting fast) Shaheen 6/1 (he was 9/1 yesterday and is shortening fast) Aidan Davis 15/2 Stavros Flatley 17/2 Flawless 11/1 Julian Smith 14/1 Diversity 16/1 33/1 bar
May 28, 200916 yr Of course Callum (who made the last 8 of Andrew Lloyd Webber's I'd Do Anything to find an Oliver (at least he did better than Eggnog who was 3rd in X-Factor 2008 who was eliminated just before the TV show stage)) was never going to get through because he would have seriously dented the votes of Simon Cowell's 2009 BGT "chosen one" Shaheen "the ringer" who has appeared in the West End Musical Thriller as the young Michael Jackson, as well as parts in TV shows such as Torchwood, Casualty, and several TV adds. Lets be honest though, he was shit. :lol:
May 28, 200916 yr Lets be honest though, he was shit. :lol: Lets be honest and say it was watching a younger child actor sing. He looked the part, was very theatrical, great personality, good choreography.... but sang poorly. :lol: Still it never stopped child actress Billie Piper becoming a successful Popstar did it! :D
May 28, 200916 yr If George Sampson won last year although Escala or Faryl should have, then Aidan should win it 'cause he is much better.
May 28, 200916 yr The yawnfest of a standard saxophonist went through automatically? The incredibly out-of-tune grandfather and granddaughter next? These semi-finals are becoming more and more farcical as they progress. No doubt tomorrow (or rather, later today) will see the George Sampson drone take an automatic place in the final.
May 29, 200916 yr except that he is much better than George Sampson and does a completely different type of dance.
May 29, 200916 yr except that he is much better than George Sampson and does a completely different type of dance. From what I remember of his audition, he just repeated the same few moves. I think George Sampson was much better than that. Hopefully he can come up with something better for the semi-final though.
May 29, 200916 yr Did they say Mutya is on BGMT tonight? A bit late for the auditions isn't she? Norma
May 29, 200916 yr Author A bit late for the auditions isn't she? Norma LMAO :rofl: I'd get great pleasure in buzzing her off -_-
May 29, 200916 yr Well on a complete different view to everyone else here, i really enjoyed it. Was so difficult to choose but 2G & Julian were the stand outs last night along with the boy & the dance girl group. The old man & striptease lady were also very entertaining too :D Good result & George was brilliant as well Edited May 29, 200916 yr by RobDeMusicMan
May 29, 200916 yr I just really don't like this show. I don't know why I bother watching sometimes either. I mean it's entertaining and all but all the acts who have gone through have either been overhyped or based on sympathy ... let's be honest LOL. Sure some of them do have talent but are any of them really outstanding? Because I don't think so. It's entertaining enough I guess ... but it'd be good to see some REAL talent go through over these yawnsome acts who got through completely because of sympathy, that's the british public for you though.
May 29, 200916 yr I'm the only one sad enough to still be watching this aren't I? Anyway, that was hilarious. BF just said I dance like that :kink:
May 29, 200916 yr Good Evans - rather misnamed. Boy ok, parents underrated IMHO, girls bloody awful :puke2:
May 29, 200916 yr Amanda looks trussed up as a watermelon :heehee: And after that I will never eat another water melon
