OT - Susan Boyle

NBC nightly news has been following her story and last night announced that she
was the runner up. To my Internet buddies across the water, was the dance
troupe (sp??) that won good? Was her lose due to her 'bad' behavio(u)r that the
press picked up on?

I saw the dance troupe and they were very good. The final voting is by
the public, and Diversity is a lot more likely to appeal to the younger
audience.

Also, there was some concern that Piers and Amanda stating during their
judge's remarks that she should win might have stirred up those who felt
contrary, so that more of them voted. And Susan's fans might have been
too complacent and not voted aggressively. Too bad - I would have liked
to see her win. But Diversity was a fabulous act! Piers thought
Flawless aced them, though, so what do I know! : )

The dance group were excellent - faultless - so nice to see the street
youngsters doing something POSITIVE which obviously took dedication, hard
work, and discipline.

In many ways I`m glad that Susan Boyle didn`t win - I was afraid that the
media would completely spoil her life if she did. She was a very gracious
loser though.

The man who came third (saxophonist) deserves to go much further - he was
excellent, too.

They said this a.m. that she is 'taking some time off on doctors
orders'


Can't say I blame her.

BBC news reports that she has been taken into the Priory Clinic with
"exhaustion"

She`s actually been taken as a voluntary mental patient to the Priory Clinic
in London. She went by ambulance last night, poor soul. This is what I was
afraid of, thanks to our brutal media hounding her, particularly in the last
week.
