Britain’s Got Talent: Violinist Sue Son Splits From Partner On Stage

YOU’VE met Susan Boyle – now meet Britain’s Got Talent’s Sue Son…

Sue Son is one half of Sue Son (surley Sue San? – ed) and Janine Khalil, set to be the world’s greatest ever keyboard-violin partnership since the last ones – only in hotpants and opaque tights! Together they are Addicted.

Says Simon Cowell:

“I think you are both talented musicians, especially you with the violin, but I don’t think the two go together at all. I thought the song was dreary and indulgent and I don’t see where you are going with this.”

Susan Boyle’s Puppy Love For Donny Osmond And Auditions For Emmerdale

SUSAN Boyle Watch: Anorak’s looks at Britain’s Got Talent agonist Susan Boyle in the news – with Donny Osmond, Emmerdale and Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger…

Hacks across the world are pressing F9 on their keyboards and telling their readers of Susan Boyle – bad hair; frumpy; never judge book by cover; sings; Scots; smug Cowell; cat; dead mum; virgin. Facts.

The media facts on a woman aged 48 are stock. And she is 48. Or 47? Such is the standard of reporting on Susan Boyle that the hacks cannot agree on her age. (It’s 47.) But all the other titbits on Boyle appear in every article on Susie Simple, of which there are thousands.

New Fact Alert

Britain’s Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle owes her dazzling voice to a teenage obsession with Donny Osmond, her brother reveals today…

And when it wasn’t Donny – whose 1972 hit Puppy Love she knew off by heart – she was driving her family berserk by repeatedly blasting out the soundtrack to Grease – especially You’re The One That I Want…

“Susan was what you would call a loner,” says Gerard, who at 53 is the closest in age to 47-year-old Susan, the youngest member of the family. She was happiest on her own, playing her records and losing herself in music. She didn’t really interact with other children”…

“Eventually she retreated into her own world. Music became her thing.”

Heal The World

Tom Morris uses his Huffington Post column to say: “Susan Boyle Energizes the World.”

There is communal thinking on Twitter on a level and in a form I’ve never seen before. Almost every day, a topic comes up that causes me, as a philosopher, to ponder a bit, and then share the results of that pondering in the 140 character increments that Twitter allows. Today, someone mentioned Susan Boyle, the lady who has made such a stir worldwide with her recent appearance on the television show Britain’s Got Talent…

Keep in mind the 140 character format, if you’re not familiar with Twitter, and the need for a topic announcement with each offering, as every one of them has to stand on its own or be lost in the fast moving stream of Heraclitean tweets.

Pictures: Susan Boyle Naked

WE’RE all going crazy for Susan Boyle, the woman who showed Saturday night telly watchers that you don’t need to show your false chest, wood-stained skin and G-string to get on telly, but can keep it all under wraps, like Susan Boyle did.

Susan is in interview, and has this to say:

“Modern society is too quick to judge people on their appearances. There is not much you can do about it; it is the way they think; it is the way they are. But maybe this could teach them a lesson, or set an example.”
