Speaking to you after such a long while. I remembered your appreciation of Susan Boyle, and since SuBo is reigning the charts currently, the first person I thought of was you :)

Its such a brilliant thing to see her being successful. And we all saw it in the making.
How've you been? What've u been doing lately?

We at OKS miss you. :)
I guess we'll see you at the next season of Britain's Got Talent.

It is such a warm appreciation and I am so glad to have liveblogged. All the hardwork feels absolutely worth it. As you mentioned, Susan does seem a bit of autistic. Observing her behaviour and mannerisms, she often seems like the reaction takes a long time to sink in to her. But nevertheless, she has definitely got the heart in the right place, and the talent to transcend boundaries and bring the world together. Her performance exactly captures all of us, irrespective of our nationalities, or situation. She indeed seems like a very kind and loving person, and when she accepted her defeat to Diversity, she has only made herself more and more respectable. It is such a shame that the media thrives on such personalities and tries to cook up stories. And btw, its not only Susan, I'd also like to visit Sunny California :(.. No invitations for me. Nevermind for the typo of my name..Hehe. I have been called way more worse names than Dujoy. ;) What you mentioned about the manipulation of the results, can be absolutely true.Simon Cowell and the producers of BGT or any damn talent show have to think about the business of making money after the show. Even with American Idol this year, even though Adam Lambert was clearly the better singer, and the favourite to win, the producers and AT&T gave out offers like multiple voting for fans of Kris Allen. It's because the producers want to earn more and more money. It's all about the money, isn't it? Do take care of your backpain, and get a good couch. Say hi to your Chihuahua and Yorkie.!! Cheers and hope to see you soon again.!! @ Vicki;

I read on the ITV site (under the article that states that she and the sax player were gracious in defeat) that several people in GB tried to vote for Susan but were given an "error" message. This left me with the disturbing thought that perhaps Simon Cowell didn't want to be "saddled" witha "fragile" personality as a winner-- wouldn't make him enough money- and so her loss would take care of that situation. This needs to be investigated- gow many other votes did she miss out on? Sujoy- something else, which I have posted on other sites; there were not that many votes- so easy to manipulate results.

It has been suggested that Susan might have a form of autism, albeit she is quite high-functioning. Now this has NOT been authenticated in any way but the syndrome mentioned fits at least some of her behavior. She also has an off-beat sense of humor, part of which might be driven by this condition. What she is as a person I have read by many who really know her, is a kind and loving person who is there to help anybody she can. I along with others with whom I've talked sincerely wish she were our neighbor. I love her sweet face and her precious smile. I think many people who have never met her have a sincere love for her as well; she touches the soul. Well, Susan, if you read this, we would love you to move to sunny California- which, today, unfortunately is suffering GB's gloomy weather. And, Susan, I'm old enough to be your surrogate "mum" ("mom, herer). LOL Dujoy- thanks for responding- and appreciate your site btw.

I can't even start imagining what little Hollie went through. But it was such a courageous thing for her to ask for a second chance, and she did it brilliantly. I think, with her second performance, she has been able to overcome that fear more than anything else that could help. As for Susan, I do like her singing. But sometimes she acts like a nut-case. Her dance routines dedicated to "Piers ee Baby" in the Semi Finals -ugh! It was embarrassing to even watch it. I know she has got the talent, but please, don't behave like that. But that also doesn't mean that the media should treat her in such a negative light, like she has been in the last couple of days. Susan's story is definitely what dreams are made of. @ Vicki:

Certainly she is a tremendously talented and precious youngster, but, again, show business is bad for about any participant's emotional and physical health and should not be a part of any child's life. I have much angst for Susan as well; she is far too fragile emotionally to be able to handle even a "moderate" amount of the pressure and especially the disgraceful behavior of both the media (especially the Paparazzi. of course) and certain insensitive and ignorant segments of the public. Susan Boyle is a fine woman with considerable talent who hardly deserves the nastiness and outright cruelty of those people who show by their behavior they have plenty of issues of their own. I love Susan's smile which mirrors her goodness. And for those who criticize her performance of "Memory", she had a cold. She discusses in an interview how she knew she had to go on after the shaky beginning; this is a lady of great courage and character, who has sacrificed for others most of her life. I pity her critics. What happened with Hollie is precisely why I am so against children’s being in show business; the pressure can be excruciating.
