Susan Boyle

Posts Tagged ‘Sharon Osbourne’

Here is a video of Susan Boyle when she arrived at LAX on November 7th. Susan is smiling and looks relaxed and happy. The reporter on the video asks Susan what she thinks of Sharon Osbourne, to which Susan replies: “She’s very nice, a very nice lady”.

As Misti in Seattle said to me “What a classy lady!! No wonder we all love her.”

Another comment from Youtube: “When it comes to talent and integrity, I can’t think of any entertainer who compares with Susan Boyle”.

Thanks Misti, for bringing my attention to this video.

And here’s another video, posted by a lady on YouTube – she bumped into Susan Boyle while she was waiting to welcome a relative.

Susan was a wonderful, a cheering, and a down to earth person. I can imagine that she was tired from her long flight but that didn’t stop her to come by and shake our hands. This is for the world to know that she’s a great person.

Colleagues of Sharon Osbourne, reportedly including Simon Cowell, were not surprised at her remarks about Susan Boyle’s appearance.

A source close to Simon Cowell told the Daily Mail: “This is so typical of Sharon. She never knows when to keep her mouth shut.”

Sharon Osbourne has a reputation for being outspoken. She was formerly a judge on the X Factor in the UK. When she left, she declared:”I left because of Dannii Minogue, simple as that.

“I didn’t enjoy working with her at all and the prospect of spending six months sitting next to her, I thought ‘my life is better than that’.”

She also added that Minogue had “no sense of humour” and “bad plastic surgery”.

Ouch!

Susan Boyle or Sharon Osbourne, which lady do you think is the prettiest?

Susan Boyle is set to perform on next week’s airing of Dancing with the Stars, the US version of Strictly Come Dancing which broadcasts on ABC. Sharon Osbourne’s daughter, Kelly Osbourne, is a competitor on the show, and Sharon  has appeared in the audience frequently to offer support to her daughter.

Sharon Osbourne recently made a number of unprovoked derogatory remarks about Susan’s appearance which have been widely condemned by Susan’s fans, see this article.

According to NBC Los Angeles, Susan will sing “I Dreamed a Dream” on the show. However, Sharon’s spokesman was not available  for comment on whether Ms Osbourne  would be attending the Tuesday recording of the show.

Susan Boyle fans are likely to be horrified and disgusted by Sharon Osbourne’s appearance on “The Opie & Anthony Show”, a talk radio program that broadcasts to the US and Canada on XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio.

During her interview, Sharon Osbourne makes fun of Susan Boyle’s appearance in what appears to be a bitchy conversation reminiscent of a bully in a school playground. To my mind, Sharon has underestimated the huge support for Susan Boyle from the US, and the comments from Sharon will undoubtedly cause a huge backlash against her. When Susan appeared on America’s Got Talent, Sharon was said to be supportive of Susan and helped to calm her nerves. Sharon appears now to have been somewhat two-faced in light of her current remarks.

I am not going to quote Sharon’s remarks here – because to be honest I can’t bring myself to repeat them. However, you can, if you like, watch Sharon’s full performance below. But be warned – you will get very cross.

Let’s not forget – all Susan Boyle has had is a makeover. Sharon Osbourne, on the otherhand, has had botox, gastric banding and bucket loads of plastic surgery. Which one do you think is the most attractive?

Susan Boyle may not have been the winner of Britain’s Got Talent. However, she appeared to be the winner of America’s Got Talent, receiving more media coverage and acclaim than the show’s actual winner, Kevin Skinner.

The Huffington Post wrote: “She wasn’t even a competitor on the show, but Susan Boyle arguably stole the finale of America’s Got Talent”.

Susan performed her debut single “Wild Horses” in front of the America’s Got Talent judges, Piers Morgan, David Hasselhof and Sharon Osbourne.

The new series of America’s Got Talent has kicked off in the US. However, the ratings for the programme are down 14% on last year’s figures, according to an article in The Sun.

Reasons given for the fall in the number of viewers include the lack of a Susan Boyle.

It was originally thought that the massive interest in Susan Boyle from the US would give the ratings of America’s Got Talent a boost – but evidently this is not the case. At least not yet, at any rate.

America’s Got Talent, which is hosted by Jerry Springer and has Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and David Hasselhoff as judges, had 11.3 million viewers for NBC – down from 12.8 million for the season premier last year.

People Magazine have said of the show: “There was no Susan Boyle moment.”

USA Today said: “The show is steering clear of trying to duplicate the Boyle effect.”  (My view: rubbish! Why would they steer clear of the Boyle effect? It sounds like it’s what the show needs. Nevertheless, you can’t really plan for a “Boyle Effect” – it either happens or not. You can’t contrive it.)
