Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent
Kelda:
I was gobsmacked she didn't win but actually I think its good Diversity won - they get the acclaim and the prize money and what comes from winning BGT- but shes still going to make money and albums depsite not winning.
If they hadnt won, I think they'd have drifted into the background never to be heard of again... that wont happen now.
And they were VERY good.

Susan Boyle Checks into the Priory

BRITAIN'S Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle was in the Priory clinic last night suffering from exhaustion.
The singer, dubbed SuBo, had an "emotional breakdown" following Saturday's final in which she was runner-up.
But the talent show favourite was still eyeing a mega United States tour.
The 48-year-old virgin, tipped to earn £8MILLION, survived tears and a tantrum to finish second in Saturday's gripping final of telly's Britain's Got Talent.
But the pressure finally told late yesterday as the Scots singer - dubbed SuBo by fans - was rushed to the private clinic suffering from exhaustion.
Show aides had contacted police to say she was acting strangely at her London hotel.
Paramedics helped the "spaced-out" star through the lobby and into an ambulance just after 6pm.
A Met Police Inspector and a police doctor were called to assist. The ambulance, tailed by a police car, then took her to the Priory in Southgate, North London.
A source at the hotel said last night: "She'd been at the hotel for a few days, but since Saturday's final had been acting strangely, causing a bit of a stir.

It calls to mind the phrase, be careful what you wish for as you may just get it.

I'm sorry to hear this. :(
Susan Boyle has certainly been through a lot, especially since she auditioned in Week 1 (as opposed to Week 6) and has been hounded by the media and fans ever since. Let's face it, not everyone can handle well the stress of becoming an overnight sensation. It must be absolutely overwhelming for her. Well, at least she was able to hold herself together long enough to perform in the finals. I read somewhere that her gown for the finals still had not arrived 15 minutes before she was set to perform. How nerve-racking must that have been for her. She was a very gracious loser to Diversity, even saying on stage that she thought the best act won. I give her kudos for saying that.
I hope she makes a full recovery and that the press and her fans will give her some space during her recovery period. I also hope that she has somebody looking out for her, somebody who has her best interests at heart, not just her ability to make money.
Sheriff Roland:
I agree with you Kelda. Diversity WAS extremely good - deserved the win.
Of the three acts Bryan & I saw this afternoon, (Diversity, Susan Boyle & Flawless), I would certainly have chosen Diversity. Bryan claims he would have chosen Susan - but then he was prob'ly just being argumentative. ;)
