Susan Boyle

Tough weep for SuBo

TIME TO GIVE BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT STAR A BREAK

WHY can't the vultures give Susan Boyle a break?

She's smashing records with the fastest-selling album in the last decade. She's taken America by storm in a way few Brit stars have ever done.

While diva Mariah Carey demanded butterfly-shaped confetti for her X Factor stint - where she murdered Foreigner's I Want To Know What Love Is - Subo got the bus to Bathgate to buy an outfit for the show, then blew everyone away with her version of the Stones' Wild Horses.

So what if she burst into tears in New York under the pressure of fame!

It's been a massive few months. Leave her alone. If it was Elton or Streisand having a bit of a tantrum, nobody would turn a hair.

But there is a bullying element determined to tear the poor woman down because she's different. Her uniqueness should be celebrated in the cynical, sneering glitz of showbiz.

SuBo can chuck it any time and go home. She's already a legend.

I agree. Fact 1, susan has a learning difficulty. Fact 2. no amount of 'treatment' at a celebrity clinic will ever change that. Susan has been blessed with the most beautiful voice, and if she can't cope with public appearances in front of huge crowds, the surely it's not beyond the realms of possibility to just let her record and do structured television shows to meet her needs. I have a family member with a similar learning difficulty to Susan, crowds make her nervous too. Give Susan what SHE NEEDS, after all her need is a neccesity not the whim of some over rated nutcase who needs butterfly confettti and a massaged ego to get her through a performance, get it Ms Carey ! you were outsung by the wee wifey from Bathgate.
