I gather there was some backlash with Brits re Susan because she got so much publicity?

Ah, Annie.. well I must have been stalled for that.. it was so strange.. I just saw them bellow out Susan Boyle and she looked seriously like she might hurl right then and there and then after a pause.. top three. So at least she knew.

GAL posted: Susan Boyle just won the competition with "I Dreamed a Dream." She sang it ten times better than the first time, and she looked beautiful and composed. IMO. Oh my gosh! When you posted that, GAL, I thought you had seen that she won and I could have sworn that I read somewhere last night that she had won, so I was confused the final was today. I thought it was just the time difference or something. Imagine my shock when she didn't win just now, lol. I agree with you she should have won. Darn, I didn't find the live feed until most of the show was over and I wanted to see her perform her song again when she won first place. I could so see her singing before the queen in the long dress she has on tonight.

I don't know if it was entirely that. I saw the Youtube of Diversity and was blown away, and thought they outdid themselves tonight! If I had been able to vote, I would have been extremely torn. I do think they had the best performance today.

Sorry, Cricket - I was just reacting to her performance. As long as she brought it, I didn't think anything could beat her. And she brought it. Diversity's win has me over the moon. I just really, really love this group of boys. And the result might be the best for Susan - she can reap the rewards without the pressure. I would be surprised if she doesn't get her own invitation to play at the Queen's Variety. It is really instructive to see how important these acts feel it is to play for the Queen. I tend to think of her as a beloved anachronism, but not all that important in day to day life in Great Britain. All of these acts have been very clear on how much it would mean for them to perform for the Queen. She's a lucky lady.

Thanks Beth. GAL I agree with you. I think that was the only act that Simon graded a 10 out of 10.

BTW Susan was a genuinely class act at the end, she showed real joy when they won and said the best performance won. And she was her usual unique self . . . she showed no regret whatsoever. Really wonderful for her.

I'm SOOO annoyed by this outcome. I truly believe the UK press robbed Susan of her rightful win. Don't get me wrong, Diversity was quite good, but Susan Boyle is the reason the entire world was now watching this show. Couldn't the media let her first win the title and wait a few days before unjustly knocking her down at the knees?? And ITA, Susan looked like she was going to barf (found a great streaming site first search, guess they do UK BB too, may have to check it out again). Just once I think Susan should have experienced a major victory in her life and just hate that I feel they robbed her of that. If the media had let her be, and she lost on her own, that would be another thing. Hopefully she will have MUCH success after this, and I hope she surrounds herself with some good people who will prepare and protect her better.

Lurk, I really think she is going to be great. The pressure will be off and she can enjoy the spoils of her fame. Anyone who sees the paps giving her a hard time should beat them into the hospital. She's a simple lady just looking for a break in life. No reason not to let her have it, she has earned it. I have been VERY impressed with Piers with his defense of Susan and his willingness to play along with her crush on him. He has REALLY gone the last mile to protect her, and for that I love him.
