Britain’s Got Talent

Susan Search

Susan Boyle is the launch an international talent hun on YouTube after her own amazing success

The Susan Search as it has become known is to search for a new star – and the winner will duet with Susan on her new album which will be released in the autumn

“Last year my dream of becoming a recording artist came true after auditioning on Britain’s Got Talent. Since then, I’ve had an absolutely fantastic time. It’s been a real gift to me and now I would like to pass on the gift to someone else.

“There are a lot of people out there who wouldn’t have the confidence or perhaps the means to enter a big competition like Britain’s Got Talent.

“So this might be a lot less daunting for some people as they can record the song in the privacy of their own home. I’m hoping that people who have always wanted to sing will give it a try. I wish you all good luck.”

Forget SuBo, meet TwoBo! Now Susan’s cousin stuns Britain’s Got Talent judges

“Stuns” soon becomes:

Kerry-Anne’s performance of Sting’s Fields Of Gold received a somewhat mixed response from the judges.

So what do you think – I have my own view but I will let you make up your own mind but here is what the judges said

Amanda Holden:

“It is clearly genetic, you’ve got the Boyle factor.”

One website Translation: You’re fat and ordinary, like Susan Boyle, yet have made it onto the telly.

Piers Morgan:“It was an incredibly good performance.”

Translation again from said website : You’re fat and ordinary and can still remember the words to a song.

Simon Cowell “I think that without the connection with Susan there wouldn’t really be much interest to be honest.”

Susan Boyle Security Scare

Susan Boyle is going to step up security at her home in Scotland after the amazing singer was disturbed by intruders in her garden as she enjoyed her Christmas break.
Susan spotted two people creeping around her back garden late in the  night – luckily they fled when she opened the curtains.

Her elder brother Gerry is now trying to urge her to consider moving to a more secure area.
He says, “I hate to think what might have happened if they had broken into the house when she was on her own. They could have had knives on them or anything. “Susan rang me to tell me she’d had intruders like it was an everyday occurrence.

“She hadn’t mentioned the incident to anyone or even reported it to the police. When she casually dropped it into the conversation I was really shocked. This can’t go on any longer. She now has to realise that living in this small house is no longer suitable and more importantly not safe for her”.
Meanwhile, concerned sibling Gerry insists there is nothing in his sister’s home that’s worth taking and that Susan has installed a panic alarm that connects her straight to the local police. This incident comes after Simon Cowell hired security guards for the singer in November

He adds, “At present she has not seen a penny of her fortune but knows it will soon be coming her way. The problem is she can’t get her head round the extreme wealth that is coming and the implications for her future. “People will think because she is about to become very rich she will have all kinds of valuables scattered around the house.

Susan has revealed that she decided to have a makeover after seeing herself on television.

She explained that she was very unhappy about being described as the “Hairy Angel” by the press.

“I was fed up with being called that,” she explained to the Daily Mail. “I didn’t know what I looked like on television until I saw myself on Britain’s Got Talent. I saw this wee wifey with the mad hairdo and the bushy eyebrows and said, ‘Hmm, not really telegenic’.

“So I decided to spruce myself up a bit. When I look in the mirror now, I see this sophisticated lady. I’m still a bit like that wee wifey inside, but more refined in some ways. Would you want to look like the Hairy Angel? I don’t think so.”

pressure cooker

Susan Boyle before

Susan Boyle  felt like she was in a pressure cooker during Britain’s Got Talent.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Susan  explained that she had not been prepared for all the media attention and ended up being admitted to The Priory following the show’s final.

“Everything had built up and I was exhausted,” she said. “There were a lot of press people outside my door, a lot of television people, a lot of people who wanted a piece of me. I thought, ‘God, what’s happening here? I’m a reasonable singer but I never expected that’.

“It got to the stage where I couldn’t even go outside because the media – American television crews too – surrounded the house. I had to draw my blinds, and even after that they started hammering on my door.

“I was quite frightened. I felt very vulnerable, because I was living on my own. There were phonecalls 24 hours a day. They kept me awake for three weeks, until I changed my number. It was just constant. I don’t know anybody else from a talent show who got that.

“It was like being inside a giant pressure cooker, where the lid bubbles up and bubbles up and soon the pressure cooker goes.”

Boyle added that the pressure continued to increase as the show went on, explaining: “It was totally out of control, like a steamroller. It just got bigger and bigger and bigger, until eventually it can flatten you.”

Susan who had  became unwell after finishing in second place due to the enormous pressure, said she had been determined to perform

“I just went through to the dressing room and I don’t know what was wrong,” she said. “I couldn’t even see properly. I hadn’t eaten for about a week, hadn’t slept properly. It was like looking at everything through a glass, and the feeling was one of extreme exhaustion that manifested itself in firing off at everyone.

“It was like the dream had gone pop – a baby that’s had the sweeties taken away. I was just being childish. I so desperately wanted to make a record. I wanted to prove myself a bit more, but maybe I was pushing myself a bit too hard. I felt I’d got so close.

“I don’t remember much else. I just know someone sent for an ambulance and I went to The Priory. I needed to sleep. I was too tired to even think straight. I’m much stronger now, though.”
