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.”

Louis Walsh on Susan Boyle

Louis Walsh has spoke out and stated that he does not know if Susan Boyle can have a long lasting music career.

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.”

Susan is planning a number of US concerts ahead of the release of her debut LP.

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.”

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, he explained: “Susan absolutely loves the life she is leading now. But it has left her fearful of going back to how things were, living on her own waiting for her singing dream to come true. She has asked me many times: ‘Gerry, what happens if this all stops?’”

Commenting on the incident, Gerry added: “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.”
