“Britain’s Got Talent” Star Susan Boyle Melts Down As Finals Near
Susan Boyle became an overnight international singing sensation just a few weeks ago as she wowed the world with her version of “I Dreamed a Dream” from “Les Miserables”. Her celebrity increased as the world tuned in to watch her performance of “Memory” from “Cats”, which earned her an invitation into Saturday’s finals of “Britain’s Got Talent”.
But it now seems that pressure form all of the attention is taking it’s toll on the 48 year old singer. She has been a guest on television programs around the world, but appeared visably nervous when she last performed. This week, the mounting anxiety caused her to pack her bags and threaten to leave the show.
“She’s been in tears repeatedly,” says Piers Morgan in an interview aired on “Inside Edition”. He told “The Early Show” that Boyle “even threatened to leave the show yesterday at one stage because of the sheer amount of pressure on her.”
He’s advised her not to read the papers, or watch television.
“She’s beginning to realize that her life will never be the same,” he said.
