I loved Paul Potts, his great talent was really humble and a nice man, S Boyle has a greta voice, but I not sure about her, she comes across full of herself, with her playing up to the judges at the end of the SF. I also noticed she didn't clap the other acts or congrats Diversity. I wonder if she would have gone and console Natalie Okri as Diversity did.

I sorry to say she does not have the Paul Potts likability.

She's retarded so probably wouldn't have the necessary skills (yes, skills) to console anyone. An average performance from Boyle BTW.

There are many Susan Boyle bashing threads but lets have another eh

I not bashing, love her voice and voted for her last night, but didn't like her reaction after, and not clapping other acts... as I said P Potts came across as humbe, not sure about SAB

I don't think that's an appropriate word to use. She is actually said to have 'learning difficulties' due to something that happened during her birth.

I'm sure she'll miss your vote....

Sorry OP - I think it's rubbish that people are saying she is not humble. She obviously has a lifetime habit of turning everything into a joke, including herself. She has been a misfit all her life. I just wish the general population would have a bit more understanding instead of being so quick to jump to conclusions.

I hope all the people Susan bashing on here visit a day centre for people with learning disabilities and see other Susan type characters behaving in ways that would be seen as socially inapproriate. Susan was blessed with a beautiful voice but because her behaviour may make people uncomfortable should she miss out on a chance in life.

Susan is a disabled woman from a sheltered background who has been thrust into the limelight. Paul Potts was not disabled he just had bad teeth and a rubbish suit and a wonderful voice. Pauls teeth were fixed and he bought better suits, job done. Please tell me how to fix a learning disability caused by lack of oxygen at birth I am sure lots of doctors would be pleased to know.

He still is humble. But Boyle has personality difficulties.

She doesn't really know how to behave properly. Hence the stupid Manuel impression and the hip swivelling last night.

Paul Potts also had a life of being a misfit, but he seemed a really nice man, I voted for her last night , but she seems to be taking the hype and I not sure, as I said, a poor life does not stop you clapping the other acts or being humble.

Quite, not of her own making. But it's so typical that many people with no learning difficulties who are considered 'normal' have absolutely no understanding of a person who has been handicapped since birth....

Nor do you apparently. She has an organic brain injury. What is your excuse for repeating yourself over and over from thread to thread? The Manuel impression wasn't funny the first time you mentioned it.

Wow another thread. Expect another dozen before the end of the day. One for each user.

Note, I said personality difficulties. Not the 'R' word.

It wasn't me who did the Manuel impression. SHE DID!

So, why you blaming me?

It's not a poor life. She was physically deprived of oxygen at birth which has left her with a mental disability. She is socially inept which is why she's been the butt of the joke in her village for years. This is not something she can do anything about. She doesn't have the social skills to play the game that the rest of us play.

I not sure how bad her 'learning difficulty"' is she has temerity to go ahead with "BGT' all by herself, I do sympathise with her, but BGT has got to be about Talent, and that includes the winner personality. or if we are voting on a person background, then that wrong!

Dress it up any way you want. You still display a lack of understanding of people who lack the social skills of the so called 'normal' population.

As a fellow Scot, I must admit, the way she acts is slightly cringe worthy but at the same time I, and many others I'm sure, realise she is not doing it because she has all of a sudden turned into an ungracious diva, but rather she just doesn't know how to react to all eyes being on her and all this attention she is getting, so she acts the fool...

She acted in the exact same way in her first audition!!

I think you should vote for the person or act you like the most.
If you don't like Susan Boyle's personality, don't vote for her.

Edit* Having said that I'd like to add that I find her quite endearing and she puts a smile on my face. She's never said anything demeaning or intended to put anyone else down.

I agree and not sure I vote again for her, but there is a lot of hype around her, and I am not sure she worthy of it, as a person

Ok, so Paul Potts has talent, but he also has the personality and charisma of a wet paper towel, and you cannot tell me that no one voted for him because they felt a bit sorry for him, because of how awkward he was, or the way he looked.....

Susan has a much better personality than he has, learning difficulty or not, and at least she can laugh at herself!

But I say it again, he was a humble nice man and still is, letting his talent do the talking he knew how lucky he was to win and thanked the public, SB if she wins might just be unsufferable. and let us take a bet if she claps the runners up acts or thanks them, (when no doubt) she wins, I don't think she even thinks the other acts are in the running!

I think she's a sweetheart. Completely guileless but I wouln't vote for her just based on that. She needs to nail her performance in the final. She was a little shaky last night, but still good when it mattered.

But when she was asked about all the hype she said she was just happy to be in the semi final and wanted to concentrate on her performance. I think she'll be happy with whatever she achieves and equally happy if someone else wins.

She's stepped right out of her comfort zone to be in this show . She didn't know that it would result in the attention that she's getting. Every time I see her being asked about the attention she diverts the question away from herself. She also thanked everyone for all their support last night.

She also behaved the same way at her audition, trying to be jokey and gyrating her hips. Nothing's changed, only some people's perception of her.
