Sad! After her song, I thought Susan's reactions and facial expressions seemed a tad 'wooden' (for want of a better word) compared to the previous 2 performances where she was making snippy quips to the judges. Given the pressure she's been under with the tabloids, she can't even rage at pushy reporters getting into her face without a backlash worldwide saying nasty unkind things about her. Then the dress fiasco and boos, I don't know too many women that wouldn't have snapped or felt some form of PTSD.

I think being admitted to that Clinic is probably the healthiest outcome in a sad situation. For one thing, they should protect her from massive numbers of pushy reporters shoving microphones in her face sneering "well, how do you feel about your loss? Let us rub some salt into that wound!" Having to face friends & neighbors, while always wondering which ones had sold her out to the tabloids.

Also, she will have compassionate professionals helping her disentangle from the mayhem - that resulted through no fault of her own. She never presented herself as someone other than who she was all along. Hope you can get some well deserved rest Susan!

Really interesting article on Diversity:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1189935/Fame-I-want-scientist-Diversitys-lead-dancer-insists-exams-come-first.html

Excerpts:
"group choreographer Ashley Banjo, 20, also has to find the time to study for his masters degree in physics and biology - something he considers every bit as important as his new-found fame and dancing for royalty.

'My education matters to me,' he reveals. 'I want to get my degree under my belt. It's vital to have something to fall back on because nobody knows what the future holds. (snip)

Mother Danielle is a former dancer with the Royal Ballet and is now Diversity's manager while father Funso is a former heavyweight boxer who was once rated a hotter prospect than Frank Bruno.
Twenty years ago the couple invested their savings in a dance school in Essex which, today, is a thriving business and where Ashley also teaches at evenings and weekends."

And there's more detail on every single member of the group.

Oh for Pete's sake, now Michael Jackson wants to horn in on Diversity's act. I wouldn't let those boys anywhere near him. Ever. Go taint someone else, Michael, go hire Flawless they did a whole routine to your numbers. Don't stink up my kids!

Here is a clip of the announcement of the winner and Diversity's victory performance.

Watch the little kid with the hair when their name is announced - he's like a 2-year old who is wandering around and crying so hard no sound is coming out.

From the Daily News re reasons for Susan Boyle to keep on singing:
"Losing almost any contest is rarely the end of the world, or the dream. Here, for instance, are 10 people whose names you might recognize who also at one point lost a contest". And it's list of ten includes:
1. Winston Churchill
2. Beyonce, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake losing on Star Search.
3. Luther Vandross losing the Apollo Theater's famed Amateur Night several times.
4. Fred Astaire being turned down at an early audition with the critique, "Can't act. Can't sing. Can dance a little."
5. Jennifer Hudson.
6. Ronald Reagan. beaten out by Humphrey Bogart for the lead role in "Casablanca" in 1942 and then by Gerald Ford for the Republican Presidential nomination in 1976.
7. The Beatles. They auditioned for Decca Records in 1962 and the company said sorry, it couldn't use them.
8. Chris Daughtry.
9. SpongeBob Squarepants. SpongeBob was turned down under different names and wearing numerous different outfits over a dozen years before he finally become a Nickelodeon star.
10. Clay Aiken

What's really interesting to me is how both Simon and Piers (neither of which are known for their sensitivity) are very sensitive to her and supporting.

Heard from several sources that Susan Boyle has been released after 5 days and is staying in a private flat somewhere in London. One of the entertainment shows interviewed her brother (it was Billy Bush doing the interview), who said she is doing very well. They showed a photo of her looking really good in a neat pants suit. Said she did some "shopping therapy" after getting out. Cat Pebbles is still staying back in the village!

Yeah Beth, I saw that too! So glad Susan's well rested and doing so much better! Now on with her new career and the rest of her wonderful life. The brother said that Simon is looking out for her personally and professionally, so she's in good hands.

I wish there was another finals today, it was fun watching last week. Great for Susan that she's pulled it together with a bit of quiet time. I think all the attention on her this week ahs been a bit unfair to the winners, but then again I for one would never have watched the show at all if not for Boyle. I hope she and Diversity go on to have the careers of their dreams.

I'm not surprised to hear that Simon is helping her. He's actually quite a compassionate guy in real life (even though he can be a rude devil on the shows.)

Well, the new season of America's Got Talent is returning on June 23rd, and I am ready to see this year's contestants!!

There is a really cute video they did at the Mall of America to Hall and Oates' "You Make My Dreams Come True". There are tumblers, step team, piano players...lot of variety. And the kids watching the performance are just the cutest things ever.

I liked the three kids who sang God Bless America. Poor Sharon, she was a sodden mess when they performed.

My favorite was the Obama impersonator. I was laughing watching this show. The guy with this hook in the nose was the grossest. The show was overall very entertaining, though..LOL

I had to hide my eyes with the hook-up-the-nose guy was on. Oh, and when he used the drill. I can't watch that stuff!

I love the foot steppers, the God Bless America kids, and the 3 sisters.

I also had to look away from the guy with the backward feet. Yuck.
