Quite shaky at the start and hardly an amazing finish, but not bad either.

Glad to see Diversity got through too. They're great!

Sadly, I did feel quite sucked into the hype and watched the programme for the first time tonight.

Yeah, she was toe-curlingly bad at the start, but got better. And I'll give her major props for tackling a song as difficult as that when the pressure on her was off the scale. I think her next performance will be a lot better, now that she's got that one out of the way.

I thought Diversity were a bit scrappy but that was probably to do with the fact that they were trying to fit a thousand ideas into three minutes. They're obviously extremely talented.

Thank Christ Rudy Huxtable didn't get through. Her crying at the end when she got binned brought the Myra Hindley out in me.

:lmao: It was wonderful! What a little diva. She just looked really, REALLY angry at first and then it descended into tears. Fabulous stuff! I mean, she's a cute little thing, but she simply wasn't very good.

Sky News had the votes for the first semi-final, but they were pulled off soon after being put on line:

76.9% Susan Boyle
7.5% Natalie Okri
4.8% Diversity
4.5% Nick Hell
3.6% Faces of Disco
1.5% Darth Jackson
0.9% Sue Son
0.3% Julia Naidenko

There is no way in hell that Susan Boyle won't walk this.

They turned a sweet little ten year old into one of the Mini Pops. It brought out the Gary Glitter in me.

I am so glad that 'nervous' singer didn't go through. I hated him and his pretend stage fright.

Yes, the one whio claimed stage fright had ruined his chance of becoming a singer.

before a newspaper exposed him as being in a choir that toured the world on stages like the Albert hall.

she's a middle aged woman with learning difficulties who has a pretty decent voice.

She's not a circus freak.

Yes she is, a regular looking person with that voice wouldn't be an instant world wide sensation like she is
Her ugliness is what's making people support her and what makes them interested. Same as with circus freaks, only bit more hypocritical

Susan Boyle isn't ugly. She's just a dowdy, overweight, middle-aged woman. She is quite regular looking. I see women like her working in my local supermarket. I think it is her ordinariness that makes her unusual. She is far more representative of ordinary 50 year old women than Madonna is for example.

To compare Susan Boyle to a circus freak is ridiculous. There is obviously a certain novelty value about her, but interest in her is being sustained because many people think she can sing. It's hardly the same as the Elephant Man!

SuBo goes loco

By VERONICA LORRAINE
and GARY O’SHEA

Published: 28 May 2009


RANTING Susan Boyle completely lost her cool with TWO four-letter outbursts in a day, The Sun can reveal.

She stunned Britain's Got Talent fans, contestants and their families before going into meltdown later in front of hundreds of hotel guests.

There were fears last night that the pressure was getting to the show favourite.

Cops intervened at 5pm yesterday after Susan, 48, went berserk in the lobby of the Wembley Plaza Hotel in North London when two strangers set out to "wind her up".

Law and warbler ... she explains outburst to officer

The Scottish singer was heard to roar: "How f***ing dare you! You can't f***ing talk to me like that."

One of two cops stationed at the hotel went up and asked: "Is there a problem?"

Susan, dubbed SuBo, roared: "Of course there's a f***ing problem."

Tears flowing, she turned on her heel and marched out the exit followed by her family, production staff and the cops.

Hotel guests legged it to the windows to get a better view of the rumpus. Police spoke to Susan and her family for several minutes in the car park.

One officer told her: "You are in the public eye, you must learn to expect this sort of thing."

A pal of Susan's told the star: "You can't act like this."

TV producers ushered her back upstairs after police finished speaking to her.

Flat note ... Susan heads back inside after talking-to


Crush

One onlooker added: "It took her a long time to calm down from whatever upset her. She was breathing heavily and in a terrible rage.

"The pressure is obviously getting to Susan. Perhaps all the fame is too much for her."

A BGT spokesman said the strangers had been "trying to wind her up". He added: "The police were not called. They were already present."

The entire episode lasted 15 minutes.

Incredibly, Susan flew into another rage on Tuesday night after judge Piers Morgan lavished praise on rival singer Shaheen Jafargholi.

Shaheen, 12, wowed the judges with And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going from the musical Dreamgirls.

Piers, who gave spinster Susan her first kiss, said: "I think that, pound for pound, that was the best singing performance we've seen so far."

Smiling Simon Cowell added: "You are a real contender in the competition."

Hairy Angel Susan - watching on the hotel bar's TV with Shaheen's pals, family and show fans - stood and screamed "f*** off" before flicking a "V" at the screen and storming out.

More than 100 people saw her tantrum.

One onlooker said: "Susan was sitting there quite happily with her drink at first.

Rival ... Shaheen

"She got a bit annoyed when a busload of tourists asked for autographs and told them to wait until Shaheen had finished. She was smiling as Shaheen sang but afterwards, when Piers started praising him, Susan went nuts.

"She got up, did one of those strange wiggling dances that she does, and then stuck two fingers up at the TV. Then she marched off. We didn't see her again.

"Everyone staying at the hotel gets on really well - it's like one big happy BGT family - so everyone was shocked by her outburst."

Shaheen was voted into the final by Piers, 44, and Amanda Holden. She's admitted to fancying "baby-faced" Piers.

The onlooker added: "She was clearly upset that her favourite judge had sided with one of her main rivals.

"It's beginning to look like its all getting a bit much for her."

Locals in Susan's hometown of Blackburn, West Lothian, claim Susan has frequent angry outbursts.

They've called her Rambo after the troubled fictional film hardcase "for years".

A neighbour told The Sun: "The reason is because if Susan doesn't get what she wants, she goes wild."

Another added: "It's not unusual to see her freak out over the smallest thing.

RamBoyle ... our cartoon of 'short-tempered' Susan

"A few of us think it's only a matter of time before she loses it on the show."

Susan - who made Saturday's final of the ITV1 hit with her version of Memory from musical Cats - is half way through a dental makeover.

Dr Justin Glaister, of Umbrella Smiles in Harley Street, said: "She's definitely had veneers on the top teeth.

"Unfortunately it can accentuate how bad the bottom ones are, but when they're all finished she'll be fine."

Meanwhile, a bookie has taken a £7,000 bet on Susan to win.

A punter at William Hill in Torquay, Devon, stands to take home £11,000 at 4/7 odds.

Oh for God's sake! You need a bit of a reality check Pera. She's just an ordinary woman.
