Susan Boyle Watch: Susie Simple Stalked By Demi Moore And Meets Oprah Winfrey
SUSAN Boyle Watch: Anorak’s looks at Britain’s Got Talent agonist Susan Boyle in the news…
Never been kissed?
Says Neighbour Brian Smith, 51:
“It’s not true Susan’s never been kissed. I’ve given her many a peck on the cheek to say ‘Don’t worry, everything’s going to be all right’. She comes to me when she needs help or a shoulder to cry on…I never knew her to have a birthday party because she was busy caring for her mother” -
Daily Mirror
Assuming she is a Protestant, and I may be wrong, but let’s assume it anyway, Scottish Protestant church going is about one thing - avoiding physical and emotional contact with another human being… Susan Boyle comes from a place where confidence can be in short measures, like the whiskey. But not her. She pulled out her talent to show them, almost to spite them. Look at me. I’ve never been kissed. Never touched. Don’t need it. -
Alan Black, SF Gate
Yobbos
Susan, born with learning difficulties, was targeted by louts. He said: “They would call her names, throw snowballs at her door and dare each other to knock and run. She would confront them and get really angry, which made them ridicule her more. We’d often chase them away.
“Now the youngsters are crowding outside her house chanting her name. After the show on Saturday night she was standing at her door giving them all the Queen’s wave, it was fantastic. - Daily Mirror
She adopted eccentric habits such as keeping money in an empty whisky bottle and cheerfully allowed herself to be teased by the local children on the rare occasions she ventured out of her pebbledash-fronted terrace house - Daily Mail
Simple Susie
They called her Susie Bong, or Susie Simple. This week Susie Simple went global - Daily Mail
Can’t Sing
It’s ironic that a lady who made a wonderfully self-deprecating joke about her size (“I’m 48 … and that’s just one side of me”) should turn out to have a weak chest voice - Richard Morrison, Times
The Blonde: Beware!
Miss Boyle has already been befriended by Amanda Holden, a development that could have sprung from the imagination of Stephen King. Oprah is said to be super-keen to have the chanteuse on her show. Now she has acquired her very own celebrity stalker. Susan, meet Demi Moore: she’s your number one fan - Alison Rowatt, The Herald
Susan And Me
Russell Brand is dreaming a cheeky dream of his own about Susan.
Ahead of his gigs at London’s O2 this weekend, the Libido On Legs jokes on his Twitter page: “She has pledged to lose her virginity to the winner of a breakdancing showdown between me and her eyebrow. Live at the O2 … I must win that showdown.” He writes: “I just watched Susan Boyle for the first time and it’s very moving to see latent talent realised.” - Daily Mirror
Ruzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzellllll
War is Over!
It’s undoubtedly the happiest story of the year and helped divert people’s thoughts from the doom and gloom of the recession - Daily Record
Local Hero
Who is Susan Boyle, you say, and what does she have to do with North Escambia? A few days ago she was an unknown, simple looking woman from a village in England that’s about the size of North Escambia - North Escambia.com, Florida - North Escambia.com
An Apology
Piers Morgan:
“I sort of feel like apologizing to Susan. I’m sorry, because we did not give you anything like the respect we should have done when you first came out.”
He said the judges had been through a long day with “lots of terrible auditions.”
“And then you came out and we thought you were going to be a bit of a joke act, to be honest with you,” he said. “And then I can remember … that second when you had begun to sing, and I had never heard a more surprising, extraordinary voice coming out of somebody so unexpected.” - CNN

And, for that matter June.

On the subject of threading unrelated Anorak articles together, though I will never do it so well as she - where on Earth is Chenier these days? Still on hols? I miss her wit.

Oh, I beg you, sweet laws of causality, which operate in reverse at Unite Head Office - afford me at least discontinuity - that i may open my eyes a second from now and find it all over.
April 19th, 2009 at 3:35 am
That’s not going to happen though, is it? There are weeks of BGT to go yet. She’ll be montaged to bits, and I’ll want to poke out my eyes like Ray Milland at the end of ‘X’.
No doubt, to my horror, it will be like the possible alternative ending to that film, and I’ll scream “I can still see!…Her.”
April 19th, 2009 at 3:20 am
Aaaaaaaargh! That’s it! I’ve had enough!
She’s not Maria Callas quality.
She’s not Dame Kiri Te Kanawa quality.
She’s about Elaine Paige quality…and Elaine Paige didn’t make my eyes want to rotate 180° in their sockets to escape her countenance.
I get it. She’s got a face suitable for radio, but a heart of gold.
The whole world is going gaga for this diamond in the rough.
Well, she’s not a diamond. She’s Jasper, Chysocolla or Lapis Lazuli - at best.
Give her a fucking contract, stop banging on about her - and get her and that troika of twats who catapulted her to fame out of my sight.

Percy, do have to admit I stood in line for an hour the other week to buy tickets to hear Elton John and Billy Joel when they play here together in July. Saw them both performing separately two years ago and have been a fan of both for years and CDs galore to play. I haven’t heard any noises yet if the Rolling Stones will be back this year. They can still ’strut their stuff” on the stage. Now their tickets are a sell out the first hour. A couple of years ago went to see Queen with Paul Rodgers when they came over here - fantastic, can’t wait for them to come back.
However I will stand in line, if need be, and get tickets to hear Susan Boyle sing in person if she ever comes this way and gives a performance.

Cheryl, I totally agree, rock & roll has the same , soothing effect on me.
April 18th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Dear Percy, ‘plastic surgery?’ You mean botox? Rather looked that way to me, also. Not because I’m a woman sticking up for a woman, but I thought Amanda was genuine. Got to give her credit for what she said and was chastising herself and her two sidekicks and the audience. Will still stand by my feelings about Piers looking soft and tender as she was singing.
Why thank,Percy, for saying I’m such an’ innocent sweetie’ but trust me I’m not a Susan Boyle innocent sweetie! It isn’t the show I’m taking so seriously, it is really Susan Boyle and she has a true child like innocence about her and she is now thrown into a world filled with big bad wolves! I’ve always been a fighter for the under dog and the ‘real’ people, Percy,
Percy, I can’t even carry a tune! However, I sit for hours with music playing even when on the internet. Beautiful singing and music brings peace to the mind, heart and soul.
April 18th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Dear Cheryl…..I have studied the judges faces carefully….and I tend to agree … all three reveal expressions of vulgar vanity….mixed in with make-up and touches of plastic surgery… These shameful shams should stand up on the show…unshaved….and sing…” Like a Virgin” ..in harmony…it would make for a fitting apology…and add a bit of badly needed comedy to BGT….
Cheryl , you are such an innocent sweetie…and you seem to be taking this show so seriously….I was just wondering….can you sing?
April 18th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Percy, it is Simon who made my blood boil when I watched his first reaction to her on BGT. Would have loved to have been there and knocked him off his bloody seat in front of everyone. At least Amanda and Piers stood up with the crowd several times to applaud her during the performance but arrogant Simon kept his arse in his seat! He is the one who will make money on her or at least try to get a contract with her.
Watch the video carefully, Percy, and study each one’s reactions as she sang. Look at Simon’s various smiles … it wasn’t for her. The more he listened to her beautfiul voice the smiles were for the millions of pounds going through his mind he could make!
April 18th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
The song I would most like to see Piers sing to Susan, and all, as an apologyfor his vulgar vanity is…….
” Like a Virgin”…….Moregone made up as Madonna would get my vote..well worth the money.
April 18th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Anorak, what you said is exactly correct. And it is that ‘child like innocence’ she has that makes one want to protect her.
April 18th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Susan talked about how the children ridiculed her when she was little. As we all know, children can be so cruel with nasty taunts to each other, as they are so immature and can’t think through the hurt they cause another with words. Now what excuse can we make for being cruel to others as adults?
Larry King asked her how she felt when she first came out and saw the audience’s and judges first reaction to her. As an aside, I thought that was rude of him to ask her that. She said it didn’t bother her she was there to sing a song!
Piers was on during the complete interview and the same look was on his face towards her as I had observed on his face watching her sing on BGT. It was a soft and tender look! No joke. To me, it said a lot about him to stand there on nationwide television and apologize to her as the the viewers in the US watched. By the way, he also asked if he could take her to dinner in London. She stood there quietly and then said “I accept.”
She may have ‘learning difficulties’ but when one watches her talk, she comes across more as having a ‘child like innocence,’ that makes you want to reach out and protect her.

Maybe if we all pat her on the head enough she will do what we want her to?
April 18th, 2009 at 11:54 am
it makes me want to puke when I read she is affectionately called ‘Hairy Angel’ and ‘Simple Susan’.
How can either of those names be ‘affectionate’?
Disrespectful arrogant bastards in the media. Why does everyone have to look the same? behave the same? live the same?
It really sends me crackers. Her name is Susan Boyle and she can sing thats all we need to know.

Piers Moregone should be made to get up on stage,without shaving his double chin,
and sing Susan a song of apology…I know what my reaction would be…..a pile of projctile puke….all over my plasma screen t.v……phone in and vote P-U-K-E now if you agree…but remember all calls are recorded and not free.
