Speaking to Oprah Winfrey he said that the moment Susan appeared on Britain’s Got Talent it was the necessary wake up call that he needed.

Speaking about his own big ego, he commented that it often got in the way of finding new talent

“When I watched the clip back, I actually hated myself. We’re all sneering, we’re not listening. I didn’t like what I saw. It was a wake-up call, and I was happy she made us look stupid, because we deserved it.”

Simon also went on to say that the reason he wants to launch The X Factor in America is because he enjoys “the buzz” – nothing to do with the big fat pay checks then Simon huh?

“I remember Fantasia singing ‘Summertime’ on American Idol, and for three minutes, I lost myself,” he said. “You want to be part of something people are talking about. I love that feeling.”

The X Factor judge speaking to the Daily Mail said that Susan Boyle might struggle with the trappings of her fame.

Walsh said: “I don’t know if she’s going to have a big, long career. I don’t think she’s able to cope with the pressure.

“People don’t realise that they become public property, and people knock on their doors and their family history is going to come out. It’s 24/7 and you have to be born to do it.”

He added: “She’s got great appeal and she can sing, and people like her. She’ll have a massive album as long as she works and shows up to the recording.

“Simon Cowell has a great record company; she’s got the best machine behind her.”

Amanda Holden has claimed that she predicted Susan Boyle’s would have a breakdown days before it occurred even though she earlier stated ‘Susan Boyle has no underlying mental issues’

Susan Boyle was checked into The Priory rehab clinic after coming second to Diversity in the show’s final.  The shows producers later confirmed that she was “exhausted and emotionally drained”.

Reflecting on the whole event , Holden told the Daily Star: “I was worried Susan wouldn’t be able to handle it. Then, a week later she checked into The Priory. I was like Mystic Mandy.”

Susan Boyle eventually left the after five days and was instantly snapped up by Simon Cowell‘s record label. She is now currently working on her debut album.

Simon Cowell recently stated  that Susan’s breakdown came because she “didn’t know how to cope with losing”.

Susan’s brother  Gerry has agreed with the music mogul’s view, commenting: “Susan doesn’t take rejection very well. That’s not to say she doesn’t bounce back, she does. It’s a lack of confidence and a case of getting overworked up. With Britain’s Got Talent, it all just became too much.”

This is such a nice story – Susan Boyle was reportedly left “starstruck” after a meeting with her idol Elaine Paige.

According to The Sun, the Britain’s Got Talent star discussed a potential duet and the troubles of fame with the Radio 2 presenter.

“Susan was completely starstruck. It was like watching a kid at Christmas,” said a source. “It really was a dream come true.”

Paige voiced her support for the singer throughout the ITV1 talent show after Boyle claimed that she aspired to be like the veteran West End performer at her first audition.

Boyle is currently working on her debut album, which Simon Cowell has claimed will “surprise” her critics.

She is rumoured to have recorded a cover of Ella Fitzgerald’s blues track ‘Cry Me A River’ for the LP, a song she previously performed on a charity CD in 1999.
