But don't worry about if you watch something else. I'm sure everyone there is talking about it anyway.
Yes, we have had some news on her. There is also part of her song on utube. I believe cnn and Jay Leno (late night show) have had some of her performance on on tape. She's really good and quite a surprise. The look on Simon's face and Piers said it all. She shocked them. Thanks |

Susan axe threat
29/5/09 SINGER Susan Boyle faces the axe from tomorrow's final of Britain's Got Talent amid fears she is cracking up under the pressure. The Scottish spinster, 48, has alarmed bosses with her erratic behaviour - including swearing at cops. A source said: "The last thing producers want is a meltdown on national TV. It's been made clear that if she's not right mentally, she won't appear in the final." The troubled star has been given a secret bolt-hole as bosses whisked her away from the limelight's glare. The singer's increasingly strange behaviour has sparked fears that she may suffer a breakdown - or be axed from tomorrow's final. So favourite Susan was driven away from the Wembley Plaza Hotel in North London and taken to a hideaway. A source said: "Show bosses told us to get Susan's mind right because there are genuine concerns about her health. She desperately needs breathing space. "The idea is to get into a place where her privacy is better managed than at a hotel. She'll be totally shielded from people other than her closest advisors." The spinster - whose first performance has had 286 million hits on YouTube - has lived a sheltered life in the village of Blackburn, West Lothian. On Wednesday she packed her bags and threatened to QUIT the show because of the pressures of her new-found fame but was persuaded to carry on. Yesterday she was interviewed by police over a tearful tantrum at the hotel in which she swore at officers after claiming two strangers tried to "wind her up". Hours earlier she screamed "f*** off" and flicked a V-sign at the TV in the hotel bar as she watched judge Piers Morgan tell Shaheen Jafargholi, 12, he had given the "best singing performance so far". Last night Piers said: "Yesterday she was actually going to leave the show, packed her bags to go because she couldn't see the point in going on." Writing on his blog, Piers said: "Susan is finding it very difficult to cope, and to stay calm. She has been in tears many times during the last few days, and even felt like quitting altogether and fleeing all the attention." He added: "Susan Boyle is a very kind, generous-hearted, lady who has had a pretty tough life. But she's always, according to people who knew her well, been a fun-loving woman who would do anything to help others. "I'm not saying she's a saint. But I am saying that before all this fuss, Susan was generally considered to be a genuinely lovely person - albeit, one with a lively, feisty character, and a wonderfully eccentric sense of humour." Susan's family believe show bosses should have acted sooner. Brother John, 59, said: "She has been constantly hounded by fans for the past seven weeks. Like anyone she has a breaking point - she is only human after all. "If I were in Simon Cowell's shoes I would tell Susan she wouldn't be allowed on the show unless she got her act together. "Celebrities have professional people who insulate them from these stresses but she hasn't had this protection. The show's producers should have been looking after her more." Susan is dubbed Rambo in her home town because of her fiery temper, but John insisted the abuse she gave police was out of character. He said: "Susan used to get picked on and bullied when she was younger. She never reacted. "This is a completely one-off incident and won't affect Susan in the slightest." Bookies William Hill last night said punters were easing off backing Susan after her hotel outburst. They also offered odds of 10/1 that she SWEARS during the live final. She is still 5/6 to win, but Shaheen's odds were cut to 6/1. Meanwhile it emerged Susan had made a secret dash home between rehearsals - because she was missing her cat Pebbles. She visited the ten-year-old moggy on Monday, then flew back to London the same day.

Talent show star Boyle rushed to clinic: reports
Boyle, whose soaring singing voice made her an unlikely global star, was taken by ambulance to the Priory Clinic in north London Sunday accompanied by
paramedics and police when she started acting strangely at her hotel in the British capital, The Sun newspaper reported.
The news came hours after she suffered a surprise defeat late Saturday in the "Britain's Got Talent" show, when she was voted into second place in a public vote behind urban dance troupe Diversity. In a sign of how big the story has become, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he had spoken to the show's judges about Boyle on Sunday because he "wanted to be sure that she was OK", he told ITV television Monday. Talkback Thames, the show's producers, said the singing star was "exhausted and emotionally drained" following the final. "She has been seen by her private GP (doctor) who supports her decision to take a few days out for rest and recovery," it said in a statement. "We offer her our ongoing support and wish her a speedy recovery." The Priory, which says on its website it specialises "in the treatment of mental health problems", could not immediately be reached for comment. It is part of an exclusive chain of private clinics which is known for treating troubled performers including Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty. Asked about the reports, a Scotland Yard spokesman said police were called at 6:00pm (1700 GMT) Sunday to a hotel "to doctors assessing a woman under the Mental Health Act". They did not confirm her identity in line with policy. "Police and ambulance attended," the spokesman said. "The woman was taken voluntarily by ambulance to a clinic. At the request of doctors, police accompanied the ambulance." Boyle, a 48-year-old spinster from a small town in Scotland who was starved of oxygen at birth and has mild learning difficulties, had a meteoric rise to fame in the last two months. The frumpy church volunteer became a star around the world, and particularly in the US, after footage of her singing "I Dreamed A Dream" from the musical "Les Miserables" in the "Britain's Got Talent" auditions became a YouTube hit, with at least 100 million viewings. Bookmakers had made her hot favourite to win the final although in the days leading up to it, there were signs she was struggling to cope with the pressure. Last week, she was spoken to by police after an angry outburst at her hotel, while "Britain's Got Talent" judge Piers Morgan described her as being like "a frightened rabbit in headlights" and said she had considered quitting the show. Even though she lost, she was still reportedly poised to earn up to eight million pounds (nine million euros, 13 million dollars) in the next year from a record deal, a book about her life and even a film. She had been set to start rehearsing an album of showtunes this week and fly to Prague next month for recording sessions with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, media said. A total of 19.2 million people watched the "Britain's Got Talent" final on live television Saturday, making it the country's most popular television programme for five years. After the contest, Morgan called Boyle "the greatest discovery the show's ever found". "I'm only sorry that the extraordinary tidal wave of publicity she attracted meant so many people got either bored or irritated by Boyle mania and decided not to vote for her as a result," he wrote on his blog.

Sorry she didn't win. She had the voice but I'm sure her outbursts kept some people from voting for her. From what I heard here she still has a very
lucatrive contract offer. Like $13 million dollars (?). Hope things work out well for her.

A friend from the board sent me a you-tube link of her audition a day or so after, and it was pretty cool.
Simon says [I knew something extraordinary was going to happen], yeah, extraordinarily BAD. But she sure won them over. As far as Diversity winning, they were OK, but each individual dancer in the company does not equal Boyle's talent, or all of them together for that matter. I've seen some pretty amazing hip-hop / b-boys dancing. They were all right. Now, Miss Boyles just has to cope with the tremendous pressure it takes to be a celebrity in this world. She asked for it!
