Sue Son's friendship with best pal and duet partner Janine Khalil was wreaked by Britain's Got Talent

Now gutted pal's given me el-bow

STRUNG UP: Sexy Sue & her violin yesterday

By Jennifer Wiley, 03/05/2009

VIOLIN vixen Sue Son has revealed her appearance on Britain's Got Talent last night has WRECKED her friendship with best pal and duet partner Janine Khalil.

Twelve million viewers saw the classically trained pair called Addicted panned by the judges last night-then Sue accepting their invitation to do a solo audition.

But Sue, who was voted through to the next round on her own, says pianist Janine has now ditched her as a friend.

The pair haven't spoken to each other since Sue phoned Janine, 23, to tell her how well she had done in the solo audition.

Sue, 24, said: "I thought Janine would support me but now she won't take my calls.

"She's even banned me from her Facebook page, which has all our photos together on it.

"It has really hurt me but I know I made the right choice."

At the audition in Birmingham, where the girls played a song composed by Janine, Simon told them: "I think you are both talented musicians, especially you with the violin, but I don't think the two go together at all."

The pair met when they were pupils at the Purcell music school in Bushey, Herts, as teenagers.

At 18, Sue was picked to front two pop and culture TV shows in her native South Korea.

But after two years she returned to Britain and lived with Janine's family for a while. She even viewed Janine's parents as her second mum and dad. The girls went on to The Royal College of Music and shared a flat.

Then two years ago they formed their band Addicted, and were hired to play at weddings. A third member, Adam Nicholas, provided back-up electro beats but refused to appear on BGT.

Shameless Sue, whose dream is to be the next Vanessa Mae, said: "When I first met Janine she didn't know much about make-up or fashion or boys. She was also quite chubby.

"I helped her get fit. And now she is not only the sweet person she always was but she is also stunning. She has gone from a size 12 to a size 6.

"But it is all over. She really regretted going on BGT and felt she'd be humiliated in front of the entire country. It's even worse because it was her song. Even her parents won't talk to me now.

"But I guess Simon Cowell saw something special in me."

Janine, who is studying for a Masters degree in Music, told us: "I've been let down by my friend and find it hard to trust anyone."

I think Janine is upset because Sue said she would say something, but she didn't like add a little word for her friend Janine, like .... if you could give us both a chance to perform together, we come up with a better duo performance. etc... something, she could say better.

Everybody seems to be blaming Janine, but nobody actually felt how she felt at that particular moment. May be she was just frozen. But atleast later she could have made the things right. Failing that is just childish.

Well, from Sue's side. She deserve the right of another chance. Afterall she came there to get selected. But all those stories about helping Janine and all that, just childish.

Just my opinion.

Janine is very immature. But Sue doesn't have to bring up girls stuffs like make up, boys, etc.

I don't see one better than another. However, Janine doesn't have to react like that initially. She should know how to take critics and improve from that. Very childish.

Sue, Why do u need to bring out things about Janine that no one needs to know about, the stuff about how she didnt know anything about fashion and that she was chubby, her size ecc. ? In a real world that does not matter and its cheap to make a story out of it. Janine after being humiliated on tv and repeatedly told that she is rubbish by Simon in front of such a crowd probably did not need more embarassing stories coming out. The third band member definitely made the right choice. And Sue you re Shameless. Which is all you are as you know well yourself you re not a good violinist!

But once Sue becomes rich and even more famous that leech will be wanting to be her friend again..And that girl's mother dont even need to open her mouth about any of this since it dont concern her whatsoever.Janine is a user as she so plainly showed everyone

I think that at first, people should understand how devastating it must have been for Janine, that no one is a perfect friend and that it is easy to see the person's point of view who is the one being interviewed. I also see Sue Son's position as hard and upsetting, but she should try and see that shes in the "upper" position here and if Janine means so much to her, than be open to putting it them behind them later if opportunity arises. Also the comment about her helping her with her weight is bitchy, even if she is hurt, thats not mature. Both girls fantastic musicians finding their own way.

Poor Sue, she definitely made the right choice, why can't that Janine girl see that this is her dream? she is being very immature.

As always, friendship or not, fame is the spur that makes choices for us all, you don't say no to a multi millionaire,who could change your life and bank balance,overnight ,do you?

By ALANSIMPSON. Posted May 10 2009 at 3:20 PM.

wot would have been nice is for janine to walk on stage and tell her friend to go for it when sue was struggling to make the choice, it would have been hard but a true friend it should have been possible, and would have gained her lots of respect

By j bailey. Posted May 5 2009 at 1:38 AM.

I know Janine felt betrayed but if she was a true friend she would support Sue and be happy for her or at least talk to her about what happened. Good luck Sue.

If this girl was a true friend she would be pleased for you.What would she have done if it had been the other way round?And she had to make the choice.Good Luck Sue.True friends will always be there.

By alison. Posted May 3 2009 at 11:14 AM.

I know it must be hard for janine, but if she was a true friend, she would want is best for Sue and be happy that she has got this chance.
