Jeez, the Susan Boyle conundrum is a difficult one for me from a moral POV. This is a woman who was on benefits before BGT and now she's a multi-millionaire but I still can't help thinking she's being exploited. But maybe she isn't? It genuinely makes my head hurt.
Jeez, she doesn't even know the lyrics a lot of the time. So awkward.
I've always disliked Susan, I find her incredibly overrated vocally and the impression I get from her in interviews and stuff is that she's a very arrogant woman, right from when she was wiggling her hips on the live shows of BGT shouting at piers, to her standoffish attitude in interviews, I just get the impression she is not a nice person at all, and is very cocky.

I don't think someone born with brain damage as a baby can be considered arrogant. Naïve is a much better desription

So because she's brain damaged she's completely voided of having negative character traits? What an absolutely ludicrous thing to say. If she's well enough to be a "singing sensation" and release albums and whatever then she's well enough to be a bitch.

No of course not BUT you can't compare someone born with brain damage to someone who isn't to have the same reason behind their negative character traits.
You see her as arrogant and a bitch whereas I see her as extremely vulnerable and naïve.
My friend's daughter is down's syndrome and is extremely manipulative but you can't class her in the same context as an adult who is manipulative. She is an adult in age and body but has the mind of a child I think it is the same with Susan she hasn't got the same life skills as other adults
This was so uncomfortable to watch. Loved her on BGT, loved her first album and there is no doubt I'd love her Christmas album too if I ever got round to it. What I'd love most of all is for her to just be happy, she didn't seem too happy.
That was so uncomfortable to watch, she looks so uncorrectable and frightened. Someone in her team needs to dealt with for this as she should not have been allowed to go on in that condition.
In order to be fair I watched her daybreak performance of this song on youtube also and it was much better.
It's all been hype with her act. If you saw that performance in your local Am Dram you'd think it just about OK but as a world-wide superstar she doesn't cut it in the slightest. Through no fault of her own she has no charisma, no stage presence and is cringworthy to watch. A tribute to the power and influence of Simon Cowell within the industry..:cool:

We're all well enough to be *perceived* to be anything by anyone. Let's not forget that all we're talking about here is YOUR opinion of her, so whether or not she's well enough to be a bitch is a moot point. Because your opinion of her character isn't necessarily the truth.

I agree with your comment/s. Never got the sympathy for her. Have always seen her as rude and cocky.

That was embarassing to watch, uncomfortable actually.
She didnt look happy up there at all, was slurring terribly and she didnt even know the words most of the time.
Please, if I was performing on Wendy Williams show then I wouldn't make much effort either...that hideous Wendy makes Jeremy Kyle appear as the epitome of class.
i don't think that she was drunk. She has always been incredibly nervous in live performances and in interviews her autistic traits display what may be awkward or inappropriate social behaviours. I thought that the singing performance was affected by three things - she didn't know the words and couldn't read the auto cue … she couldn't fully hear the backing track ….. she was very close to the audience. Nerves were high at many points of not knowing the words and she sounded unsure, unclear and out of tune. She still has an amazing voice but this was a bad performance for the aforementioned reasons.
I think it's absolutely terrible it has taken all those decades for them to realize she is Asperger's. I always thought she either Asperger's or Autism and without sounding harsh, but it was so obviously clear with how she is in public situations, way back from her BGT days.

You are coming across as deeply unpleasant.

She sang 3 songs, twice, in front of 20,000 people.
This was 2 nights before that performance for Children in Need:

She did 7 sold out concerts in Scotland, in July, and sang 24 songs each night,so that pretty much blows your theory.
She didnt look happy up there at all, was slurring terribly and she didnt even know the words most of the time.

Not sure why it took so long… such a shame that she was not diagnosed early on ….
best wishes to her
