Susan Boyle misses yet another concert

Saturday, June 20, 2009, 12:24 [IST]
London (ANI): Susan Boyle was asked to remain at bay from another Britain"s Got Talent concert after the singing sensation suffered exhaustion once again. The show runner-up remained at her rented London flat while the rest of the finalists took to the stage in Cardiff. The 48-year-old missed the fourth gig and appeared set to abandon another concert in Nottingham.

Susan has been under the careful eye of show bosses since her four-day stint in a rehab clinic when she suffered exhaustion after facing defeat in the finals of the talent competition. A spokeswoman cast a shadow of doubt over the songbird"s appearance in the rest of the week"s dates. “Susan would love to perform every night but is aware of what she can and can"t do. I feel sorry for her because she doesn"t want to let people down, but she needs a rest," The Sun quoted her as saying.

The Scottish singer had pulled out of Liverpool"s concert just hours before she was due to perform. Susan was said to have launched a hysterical rant about her cat, leaving producers to allegedly drop her from the lineup. Her spokeswoman later denied the allegations, insisting she needed to rest.

Another idiotic article from an idiotic paper. This crap could not be anymore incorrect. If you idiots had any brains you would realize that this is not even headlines. What is it that you braindead journalist don't get. Susan does not have to perform at any show she does not feel up to, that was all stated upfront and has been repeated numerous times. So what exactly is it you idiots don't get, and think your reporting on? What the hell kind of desperation is this, keep up the good work jackass's I love the fact that this type of moronic tabloid toilet paper reporting is going to put every paper out of business. I can see all of you in a year or two at you new jobs. Do you want fries with that? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Susan signed a two CD deal for 11 million. What will you keyboard monkeys be making next year? Dummies L.....M......A.....O....LOLOLOLOLOL

Sounds like a nice way of saying she's a binge drinker and is at the betty ford...She exhibits alcoholic tendencies. Can't confirm but I'm suspicious. But she's a great talent you say? So were Billy Holiday and Jimmy Hendrix...

Grace, I would have been disappointed too, that's for sure. But when you say you don't get it, I guess none of us do. We can't know what the last 2 months were like for her, or the emotional and physical toll that it took on her. The tour started one week after she got out of the hospital so I was shocked that she'd go at all. Susan loves to sing, and if she's not doing all the shows, I think it must be for a darn good reason.

I guess I just don't get it. I just don't understand how one can be sooooooo tired. She just sings 2 songs! What if she cut it down to one? Yes, I sound bitter- I was one of the fans she let down in Liverpool.........

Why is it such a shock that Susan misses some shows. She said that she never wanted to do the whole tour because she was saving her vocals for her new CD. Lets talk about the other acts that messed up, one act missed a bunch of lines in his song, did that get scrutinized? NO it didn't because he wasn't Susan Boyle. Lets talk about how several other acts have had rest days too and it was never mentioned. I wish Susan the best. I hope she gets the much desrved rest needed to create her CD and to leave BGT tour. She doesn't need this BS

Goog points, good points. It amazes how every possible angle is being covered.Anything anybody can think of to say is being said! Isn't it fascinating? I wish the best for Susan Boyle, for those that helped her get started, and eagerly await her album. Yay!

I'll agree that while it was announced early on that Susan would only do "some" shows, BGT should make it more clear to everyone. Simon repeated that today in his very long interview, trying to make himself look innocent. This way, it makes Susan look bad, and gives the press room to write more ridiculous stories. However, this way BGT won't lose as much money. Money.......that's always been their bottom line.

So far SEVEN of the other acts have had time off,but this is never reported. Two ave fluffed their lines more than once I might add but agian no reports. WHY? The cat incident was a lie, as I know as a friend was working there as says the press were harassing fans and Susan in a way he had never seen before. They want to destroy Susan so they can turn round to Simon and say "told you so" rather than admit they have been complicit in the current problmes. Susan wanted to do baby steps, yet they are screaming foul because she cant run a marathon a week out of hospital. The way the press are reacting is criminal in my view. The fact that Susan is there at all is testament to her strength of character, and if people believe the trashoids, more fool them.

Susan is under no obligation to do any of the shows, and yes, other acts haven't performed at all of the shows, so why is Susan the only one written about every time? Besides, isn't if strange that there are never any pictures or names given? If she was on the balcony for half an hour looking for her cat, surely someone would have snapped a picture. The photographers are always around, not to mention cell phone cameras.

It was made quite clear at the beginning of the tour that Susan would probably only perform a handful of the concerts. Quite frankly, if I were her, I wouldn't want to do any more. They are pretty trashy and she must have problems with the screaming and yelling that she has to endure while singing. It is also true that others on the tour have missed concerts, but nothing is ever written about this. Give Susan a break, you have already broken her spirit once. Please don't use unnecessary cruelty just for a story. Had it not been for bad press, Susan would probably have been fine. She is a trusting soul and this kind of betrayal is alien to her.
