Susan Boyle

I wasn't quite sure where this should go, it's about a woman on a tv show, but it's actually quite a bit more, so... yeah.

Yes, she has an amazing voice. I saw her interview on good morning america.

That woman is overrated, if it were some hot chick singing that we wouldn't be half as amazed imho!

Theresa · **Thu Apr 23, 2009 8:08 pm**

I read an article saying much the same thing, but disagree with part of it. Yes, she's more of a celebrity given the way she looks, but her voice is incredible. Just goes to show how bigoted we all are. Good thing life itself isn't a beauty contest or many of us wouldn't be deemed worthy to live.

Oh wow, and I thought the US media was harsh,

Poor woman,

I'd have flipped out, too. (flipped out as in not take anymore crap and yell, etc..,

)

... What happened?

Chinesetrekkie · **Mon Jun 01, 2009 11:52 pm**

she fainted! she is so famous, she is now overworked!

They were calling her the Hairy Angel, Simple Susie, things like that. There's no reason for that. She has a great heart, and they're just attacking her physical appearance. She spends weekends visiting shut-ins, volunteers for many things, and is generally a good person.
When she was delivered, she was without oxygen for an extended period of time causing her to have the disabilities she has. Fortunately she's got a contract with Syco Records, (Simon Cowell's label). The same label as Il Divo,

The woman who was our student teacher earlier this year loved Il Divo.

Well now...that answers Dan's question of "what happened?"

but now I have a question..."what happened? did she win or lose? and if she lost, who won?"

She came in second to a dance group. That may be the best thing, though, as she won't have to do all of the touring and stuff, but still gets the $$$ and gets to sing.

She has a really beautiful voice!! I hate what the media has done to her.
I saw a side game on facebook called "Slap the Boyle" and it had an image of her sobbing.
I was furious that the media who built her up would do that.

Curtis · **Tue Jun 16, 2009 10:19 pm**

yea...that is kinda...no, that IS low

Yeah...she apparently had some sort of mental breakdown after losing. The exhaustion of the competition and the media spotlight got to her. Can't say I would not be the same.

Maybe, but I had also read somewhere (forget where) that she was supposedly invited to be on America's Got Talent too...so would she be like a contestant or a celebrity performer? Prolly performer right?
