Britain’s Got Talent Returns: Manchester Auditions In Pictures

THE year works in cycles. January is Big Brother and the start of the search for the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2010. People with a dream, a sickly relative or a condition have been queuing outside the Opera House in Manchester for the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ auditions. The hunt is on for the novelty cannon-fodder that can happily fill tabloids with teary images of dreams dashed, hopes raised and any talent with decent bone structure and a terrific sob story moulded into a something plastic-coated and able to make money for Cowell Inc..

Susan Boyle Beaten Up

susan-boyle16SUSAN Boyle Watch: In readiness for another chance to sing before Simon Cowell, this time on the X Factor, Susan Boyle tells of her mum, being beaten up and her bullying hell.

The Mirror’s front page screams: “I was beaten every day.”

By whom? Simon Cowell? Amanda Holden? JLS?

“TV sensation tells of her childhood nightmare.”

The Britain’s Got Talent star says she was lashed with a belt every day by brutal teachers and cruelly taunted by other kids. She said: “You’re looking at someone who would get the belt every day. ‘Will you Shut up, Susan!’ – whack!”

Bullying is bad, says Susan. Has she any advice?

For anybody who has that type of problem I’d tell them to see a teacher now – but I didn’t do it.

Susan Boyle Is A Diva

susan-boyle-fuck-offSUSAN Boyle Watch: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Susan Boyle in the news.

C U Susan Boyle

FRAGILE Susan Boyle has launched ANOTHER foul-mouthed rant, it has emerged. The 48-year-old lost her rag at Edinburgh airport moments after happily posing in a comedy Scottish hat with a bride-to-be on her hen party.

The BGT star appeared to turn on her assistant and was heard yelling “F*** off” repeatedly.

An onlooker said: “Susan was really friendly at first. She was happy to pose with fans but suddenly she just flipped.

“She is struggling to cope with the attention and lashing out at those trying to help her”Sun

RIP Susan Boyle

Irish Independent: When reality television becomes too brutally real for contestants… Gemma O’Doherty on the people who can’t face life any more after being humiliated on television

At best, Boyle, or SuBo as the tabloids now call her, is suffering from exhaustionHer disturbing demise brutally illustrates the emotional turmoil of reality television and the exploitation of vulnerable people who are barely equipped to take a trip to the shops not to mind cope with the pressures of instant worldwide fame – Irish Indy

We Love Su!

During last night’s performance, the 48-year-old church volunteer, who shot to fame in the reality television talent contest, blew a kiss to her adoring fans as they screamed and whistled – Belfast Telegraph

She looked relaxed and happy on the opening night of the Britain’s Got Talent tour in Birmingham – Express

Susan Boyle La Diva

On Yer Bike, Norton

GRAHAM Norton’s new live show is vetting prank victims — so they don’t have a SuBo-style meltdown…

Norton’s show Totally Saturday sees the camp host poke fun at members of the audience and setting them up with cheeky pranks. Last week one viewer was stunned when the BBC stole his vintage car and hid EastEnders star Perry Fenwick (Billy Mitchell) in the boot.

However, bosses fear contestants could be left distressed live telly after some of the more risque jokes.

A BBC insider told TV Biz: “The order has come down from on high that they don’t want a Boyle on their hands” Sun

Salmond’s First Mini-star

I Have A Dream

Perhaps Gordon Brown’s newfound enthusiasm for TV will extend to his promised search for a new voting system. There are some very exciting new models available on screen.

BGT : The revolutionary scheme pioneered by Britain’s Got Talent. Elections are held over one hour on a Saturday night. All the contenders state their case before the public and an expert panel of judges and show their skills at bantering with Ant and Dec. At the end the public has 20 minutes to phone in and vote. The result is announced live after a series of adverts for pizza. Good for encouraging voter participation, and a percentage of all the money raised will go towards funding the new Trident programme. Gives no-hopers the chance of the political career of their dreams – very popular with Liberal Democrats. But could end up with Susan Boyle as PM – Robert Shrimsley, FT

Susan Boyle – she can be all things to all people…
