A month ago we couldn’t get enough of this new ‘hero’ Susan Boyle - a woman who shocked the nation by not being an anorexic twig draped in the latest Topshop fashion yet still housing an epic voice deep in her lungs.
However, over the past week or so, people have started to take aim at Su-Bo, with the British tabloids claiming she’s quitting the show / having a mental breakdown / becoming a diva… all manner of tittle tattle to bring a cloud over what should be a momentous moment for British music.
Don’t get me wrong, when I saw Susan for the first time I did think she was going to be rubbish, but her performance has only gone to prove that we really shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover and assume that to be successful in the music business we should all look like Cheryl Cole and her band of girls.
I’d decided to keep out of the whole thing and let the public decide on Saturday night, but after seeing a ’debate’ on the website of a leading British newspaper which launched a truly scathing attack on our Su-Bo that made my blood boil.
But as we have another semi final tonight before Susan, Diversity, flawless, Stavros Flatley, Shaun Smith, Shaheen Jafargholi, Julian Smith and 2 Grand battle it out for a chance to perform for Her Majesty The Queen let’s just hope Susan can keep her cool long enough to kick some ass on Saturday.
Read exactly what the British newspaper had to say about Susan Boyle here, but be warned, it is very offensive…
