Simon Cowell Admits He Fucked Up over Susan Boyle
Simon Cowell has finally admitted that he, and the production team made mistakes over their handling of Susan Boyle on Britain’s Got Talent.
The music boss spoke out after Susan, nicknamed SuBo pulled out of a FOURTH live show yesterday, only hours before she was due on stage.
Amid growing fears for the ‘stars’ health, Simon spoke out after watching her fail to win the popular vote on the ITV1 talent show: “I suddenly realised she didn’t know how to cope with loosing. We didn’t handle it well.“
Simon claims Susan “seemed fine” in the build-up to the big live final – and he made sure she had all the help she needed. He added: “Then, at the crucial point in the final, I looked at her face and thought, ‘Christ, she doesn’t know how to deal with not winning’“
“It was a bad moment” the judge explained. Afterwards, I went over and gave her a hug and tried to reassure her. “I said, ‘Susan, my offer to record an album with you still stands’. We agreed we would work together – that it wasn’t the end of the road for her.“
Personally, I don’t think Susan Boyle will last long in this game. There is no denying she has a great voice, but to keep letting the public down by pulling out of shows they have paid their money to see, they will soon loose patience.
And its a similar story for people looking to hire her. Companies could steer clear of her due to the fact she could pull out of their function at the last minute.
What do you guys think???

I don’t agree about your assessment of Susan Boyle’s future. I think she could have a nice career. I think it’s important to note that three of the shows Susan missed weren’t last minute cancellations. In fact, she’s missed three days on the tour, which included four shows. One thing the media isn’t reporting much is that ALL contestants get two rest days. Yes, it’s true that she’s having a harder time. Simon’s right – they made mistakes. They should have protected her better, responded to the horrible comments about her looks, prepared her for losing and then been there when she did. But I think their biggest mistake is being made now, in letting the press run with the idea that she’s missing shows she was supposed to sing in. That’s not the case. If you look at reports, you’ll see that she was only ever scheduled for a “handful” of dates since she’d just gotten out of the hospital.
