Poor Susan...




Oh dear. Ms Boyle fucked up on live television.

Yet the public continue to clap wildly as if the Emperor truly was wearing garments made from the finest silks in all the land.

She sang off key and for a moment became the incredibly average spinster who is a tad mental but who could carry the odd tune, the woman she always has been basically. Not the 'National Treasure' we've been told to clutch to our cynical bosom.

Oh how hearts must have sunk yesterday. Yet the media has already sold us the idea of 'Susan Boyle' so we can't go back on our word now surely? She's still an inspiration to us all. A "beacon of light in our dark tunnels" as Princess Diana herself once admitted in her own televised meltdown. Of course back then, the phrase the media embraced was the 'Queen of People's Hearts' and not the previous more revealing line that, well, made her also sound a tad mental.

I posted on my Facebook status that I had more talent in my left ball sack than Susan Boyle and have been immediately harangued and accused of being jealous and incredibly unsupportive.

How amusing. Of what exactly?

Yet the judges actually said things like "You nailed it!" WTF???

She wobbled and raced her way through the song, and only really got into any sort of feeling with the big key change near the end.

These shows are not about talent, they are about entertainment, but that doesn't make as catchy a title.

I just hope she is enjoying the ride while it lasts. And when its all over she can go back to her town and be the 'only singer in the village'.

I look forward to watching your left ball sack swoop to victory with an innovative performance of Mein Herr in the next series, complete with chair.
