Susan Boyle could be axed from Britain's Got Talent finals
STV TV ^

Susan Boyle could be prevented from singing in the grand final of Britain's Got Talent by concerned show bosses, according to a report.

Susan Boyle could be prevented from singing in the grand final of Britain's Got Talent by concerned show bosses, according to a report.

An insider told The Sun that producers are concerned about the mental state of the 48-year-old and have said that they will not let her sing on live TV if there is a chance that she will crack under the pressure.

The source claimed that executives have been alarmed by her "erratic behaviour", including an incident where Susan allegedly swore at police.

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 show's producers have provided a secret safe-house to give Susan a refuge from the media spotlight and she has reportedly been moved from the Wembley Plaza Hotel to the hideaway.

The insider 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."

Piers Morgan has appealed to the media to "give Susan a break".

He wrote on his official website: "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."

She might want to consider a career doing "hip hop".

I feel bad for the poor woman. She was not prepared for this, and after being called lovely things like “hairy angel” for weeks, I’m not surprised she is having a few problems.

I think they meant that is the first thing they would want... ratings gold! Build a nobody up and then tear them down.

Meltdown? She is a normal human who has been thrust into a 3-ring circus. I'd break down in a more than a few tears myself.

Leave the lady alone. This is politics, the bosses don't want the church lady to win and they are grasping at just about any excuse to keep her from competing. What hogwash this is.

If they toss her out, I hope everyone in Britain boycotts the damned event.

They did the same to Princess Diana, made her life hell, and literally drove her into her grave.

It can be a real bear to suddenly go from obscurity to the limelight, from an unknown to global popularity. What a tremendous stress this must be for her.

May Almighty God strengthen this lady, and her advisors and have all about her counsel her wisely and with her benefit in mind. I ask this in Jesus' Holy Name, Amen.

I have no doubt she needs a break from all the hubbub she never envisioned facing.

Everyone already knows that Susan has a brain defect!

WTF has that got to do with her singing ability?

In my crude world, her first cd will be bought as soon as it hits the market...

Hang tough MS. Boyles!

You’re right. How could she pssibly have been prepared for this? However, she has what so much of he world doesn’t. I don’t care what they did to upset her, she’s not like the rest of us, she is a major talent. Just leave the woman alone and let her sing.
