Interesting: Piers & Amanda about Susan's semi-final performance

This is interesting. Also, funny & cute to learn that Susan has a huge crush on Piers! And I loved Piers comparing Susan to Rocky!!

Yes I saw something on TV about Susan's crush on Piers,
I wonder what song she will sing on Saturday?

SHE HAS GOT TO WIN:

I'm so curious, too, about the new song. I know she was seen with a bunch of Andrew Lloyd Webber songs, so maybe another of his?

Today it was written that Susan was upset by strangers outside her hotel,
Also it is rumoured that she was annoyed with Piers after him saying that the 12 yr old
boy was far the best singer in the competition so far.
Piers has denied she was upset with him but said the strain is getting to her and she was considering leaving the competition.
I do hope she dosen't as she has accomplished much since being on the show and I'm sure she has a great future ahead of her.

IT said she said the "f" word. well you know what? I'm surprised she hasn't used it before. People seem to forget that Susan does have a mental handicap, and if you notice when people talk to her in interviews she sometimes looks a bit confused as to what they are saying at first.
But she's also a grown woman and she has feelings just like the rest of us and can only take so much stress and pressure. AND, she's not used to that kind of pressure. I'm sure she was protected by her family as much as possible.
I just hope that people/paparazzi leave her alone. From what I understand it was a reporter who was badgering her.

I also read it was a reporter that got her upset....maybe deliberately trying to do that?

I'm sure soaring to worldwide fame in such a brief time plus competing is stressful for her. I only pray that Susan will gather herself together with God's help and do a wonderful performance again.

We still love her no matter what she decides though.

if this is the worst thing Susan has ever done it's much ado about nothing.One of those sleazy rag papers decided to make much of this-in fact LIED about the incident.

There's been a number of these sleezy rags putting out terrible stuff lately.It sounds like they're actually trying to ruin her rep and thus her chances of winning.It would be a good time to stick to the REAL fan sites-the more you click on these news rags the higher their rank gets.
They're not worth it.

True....I read at Susan-Boyle.com that much of her comments were taken out of context. Like you say, those papers are just trying to sell more and will say anything to do it.

Susan has been taken to a different hotel away from the rest of the finalist.
She indeed had her bags packed at one point but all that is forgotten now.
What the reporters perhaps don't realise Susan comes from a very small
village in Scotland and London must seem another world altogether.

I wish her well for Saturdays Final she is still favourite to win.
There is so much pressure to this years show it's electrifying.

I felt sorry a little Holly Steel who completely broke down but was
allowed a second chance and got the judges vote to go to the final.

All of this has got to be a little overwhelming for Susan. It's a good thing it wasn't me getting pestered because I do not know if I would have been as gracious as only using the "f" word. This woman is not use to being under such scrutiny, 24/7. If people cannot understand that part of it, then I just do not know what on earth to think. Journalists should (a)- know better and (b)- be kept at arms length at all times, no matter who it is. It's an invasion of a person's right to a bit of privacy without people constantly seeking to find fault or anything else that is not their business. Susan has accomplished more in one month than any one of the photo-journalists has in their whole life and she has done it with more class and style.
