Wait for it: the media take-down of Susan Boyle
It has already started, with the Rupert Murdoch tabloid The Sun calling her out for apparent public tirades under the header "Subo goes loco." It simply won't do for this poor woman to sail gently into fame and fortune. She'll have to be taken down a few pegs first. From the Sun:

There were fears last night that the pressure was getting to the show favourite.

Cops intervened at 5pm yesterday after Susan, 48, went berserk in the lobby of the Wembley Plaza Hotel in North London when two strangers set out to "wind her up".

The Scottish singer was heard to roar: "How f***ing dare you! You can't f***ing talk to me like that."

One of two cops stationed at the hotel went up and asked: "Is there a problem?"

Susan, dubbed SuBo, roared: "Of course there's a f***ing problem."

Tears flowing, she turned on her heel and marched out the exit followed by her family, production staff and the cops.

The Sun story doesn't mention what was done to "SuBo" to set her off, but then again, it is a Murdoch tabbie.

And then, there is that adorable 12-year-old boy, Shaheen Jafargholi, who's got cute on Susan, and pipes, too. How long before the Murdocharazzi nab him, too...? (BTW, get a load of what they're competing against.)

Meanwhile, earlier this month, the Daily Mirror got hold of some video of a young, attractive Susan Boyle singing at a local competition back in the day ... the day being 1985:


According to the Mirror:

The tape was unearthed by Gerry McGuinness, 61, who was in the audience that night at Motherwell FC’s social club.

He recalled: “She was so shy but she was also very attractive back then – she turned a few heads when she came in. She didn’t win the contest, though.”
