There's really no one else this blind fits even half as well.”

I always thought she was far too good to be true. She does seem to give this impression of little Miss innocent, but for some reason I never warmed to her when she was on the X factor and everyone thought she was the best thing since sliced bread.

My doubt about this story is getting an injunction to prevent a story about having a record deal before appearing on the show, how are you going to convince a judge that it's not in the public interest to reveal that information ?

Any ideas ?????

A smartphone video is apparently
being shopped around from a party
at a TV chef's country house
showing which hard-partying
celebrity so off her face she
decides she wants to shave her
head, a la Britney in 2007?
Thankfully her friends managed
to talk her out of it.

Same with dreamed a dream. All set up for the classic tv moment. Auto tune fully deployed. It's why her performances in live shows were off. That was her live and she didn't win!”

Absolutely, Aurora. I still watch the show sometimes but I accepted a long, long time ago how fake it was. It frustrates me how clueless most of the general public are when it comes to these shows and how they are willing to be manipulated just for some cheap emotional graficiation.

When it came ot the Dreamed A Dream set up it was particularly annoying because there has never been a more set up moment so obvious in anything ever. From the start when she came on with the funny little dance and the "ugly duckling" angle, it was all such massive BS. I feel insulted just thinking about it but if you do anything other than "squee" shamelessly about what an amazing moment of telly it was you are looked down on! Bizarre!

Any judge who would grant an injunction for this, if it happens, should be removed from the bench. It's basically condoning fraud.

The media hired two specialists to prove she was "auto tuned" and they both said in Susan Boyle's case, it was impossible, because she used so much vibrato.

Her fragile emotional state, due to aspergers, .weighed on her later performances at BGT. But the audition was REAL. After 25 years of singing, she finally got her big chance and grabbed it and changed her life forever. Which is why she is a multimillionaire today and is releasing her 7th album in November.

BTW, go see her in concert if she tours the UK again. The woman can really sing.

The two things that make me think that this can't be bleeding love is:

1) I would never have classed her as A list even at the time of her debut. She had one hit song. That's it.

2.) Surely it would be Max Clifford's mate (the pSYChO) who would have sought an injunction and would have secured it given his status?

I think this is another poorly worded blind...again. The term A list is used too freely by some showbiz types. But Bleeding Love was apparently the best selling single worldwide in 2008 and that would probably entitle her to an A list standing in showbiz speak. She had other strong songs although admittedly they weren't international super hits. I have issues with the blind but I can't see who else it could be.

She had at least 10 songs chart in the top 10 in the UK.

She was very critical of such behaviour when commenting on the most shocking celeb moments of the naughties.

Oh, I think she can sing - sorry for not being clear on that. What I meant was the way the audition was staged and edited was cynical media manipulation and it's very worst and I find it shocking most people don't even want to acknowledge that fact because they value the cheap emotional thrill more than honesty.

I've never had issue with Susan Boyle herself, just all these producers who treat their viewers like morons. I think Susan's been through a hell of a lot in her life and hope she is happier these days. I remember enjoying her cover of Wild Horses.

Folks (her fans) hear what they want to hear. The sell is her story that they vicariously gain an emotional pleasure from. She is the ultimate underdog. Sadly the reality is she has been exploited for others satisfaction and financial gain.

Never came close to A-List or even B-List.

Bleeding Love was treated like a national treasure for a brief time with her debut album, and was at one point thought to be the next Mariah Carey in the making.

And her own financial gain . Lowest estimate of her net worth I've seen is $18 million. Not as much as Cowell's made off her, but she's not complaining.

She will always be subject to panic attacks and other emotional problems in real life, but Scotland appears to be very fond of their "Susan". because she remains absolutely down to earth and generous to those less fortunate. And her home boys and home girls are what she really cares about.

Might be her.

I loved the stories about how she lost weight in 2014. Nothing to do with the monumental amount of powder she was putting up her nose, of course...

From The Gossip Life:

These two A-list actors starred together in a forgettable movie a decade or so ago. It was before one of the A-list actor was launched onto the A-list and when he lingered around the C-list or D-list. He was cast on the condition he "uglied himself up" as not to "overshadow the A-list lead"

"I think [name omitted] still holds a grudge." says my source. "There's been tension between him and [name omitted] ever since."

Sorry.

I think you will agree that the name comes from the same source though.
