Don’t expect a Susan Boyle world tour anytime soon.
Unless her beloved cat, Pebbles, is the opening act.
According to the Daily Mirror, Susan Boyle did not appear in another "Britain’s Got Talent" concert last night after a hysterical screaming fit over her MIA kitty, Pebbles.
Susan stood on the balcony of her eighth-floor hotel room overlooking the hotel atrium and repeatedly bawled: “Where’s my cat?” She was whisked out of the Liverpool hotel via a fire escape.
It gets worse...
One witness said: “She kept shouting, ‘I want my cat! I need my cat!’ I think people felt sorry for her as she was clearly unhappy.”

From what I have read this lady is missing a few bricks!
very good !!
If she ever wondered why she’s is 50 and single, besides looking worse than Rocky Dennis, there’s your answer.
But if her cat is merely at home watching by telly, I think Miss Boyle should take a valium and shut-up.
It's pretty shocking to see, I have to admit.
I feel so sorry for this poor woman. As I understand it she was born with some type of mental deficiency which has followed her all of her life. I’d be interested to know exactly what the deficiencies are simply because I think it would explain why she appears to not have a sense of the world around her.
I’ve know a few people who seem to fit in that particular mold. It’s as if, in order to cope, they build a world where they feel safe and when they’re exposed to a world not of their own making they don’t know how to cope in a socially accepted manner. To me it explains some of her behaviours, with the most recent being her dependence on finding her missing cat.
I hope she finds a niche which allows her to be comfortable.

When you finally meet a human being that doesn't have some kind of mental deficiency, please let us know.;-)
I think she would be fine if the press would back off. Let her be and let her sing.
You picture file must be HUGE!
I feel sorry for this poor woman. She loves her cat and is upset because it’s missing, and for that she has my sympathy.
Susan is not beautiful by Hollywood standards but that voice is exquisite to be sure! Fame is a cruel master and few are tamed by it!
She suffered from oxygen deprivation at birth. At school they called her "simple Susan."
First of all, if I was on a tour with my dog and my dog went missing, I'd stop everything until she was found.
Second, why are we suddenly trusting the mainstream media's account of Susan Boyle's actions? The British and American press are getting a kick out of trashing this woman. She was "too good to be true" and they want to make sure us rubes get that.
I don't know much about this lady but she seems to have been (and remains) emotionally unprepared for and ill-equipped to deal with the media spotlight and the stresses of a singing career. That being the case, I don't understand why she ever wanted to audition for the TV show that eventually brought her the fame and scrutiny that seems to be upsetting her so. She should withdraw from the whole thing and go back to the quiet life she once had and that seems much better suited to her temperament and emotional state.
Susan Boyle could always stick to recording, which is quite lucrative when the artist is popular with the public, and just avoid the public spotlight, as some singers have done over the years. She obviously can't handle fame - and she doesn't have to. This lady really needs one or two advisers with her interests in mind to handle her career and protect her from the tabloid garbage and the many stresses of the stage that threaten to bring her only grief.
I wish her well.
It’s extremely common for someone to have exceptional artistic skills and at the same time be a poor public performer due to nerves, disposition or other problem. This is also true for sports or anything that involves live performance.
This might be her predicament.
(got me. LOL!)
Now that thars funny...

Wonder if this will fix it.
The thread was showing up all centered. It appears to have fixed itself.
I don’t watch the type of programs she is on, but from news clips and from what I have read,
Susan Boyle has many of the symptoms of schizoaffective disorder.
Many people can be functional in a general way with this along with meds.
I believe she also came along later in her mother’s life
which can pose these type of problems.
I knew the name "Elizabeth Snead" of the LA Times was familiar, so I went and checked my archives.
Snead the Snot was heavily involved in trashing Sarah Palin earlier this year for the Left Coast (non)intelligentsia, and so got on my radar.
She's just another TinselTown tart with a sharp and vicious pen.
No.
Rocky Dennis was very thoughtful about the way he looked. I’m a late-twenty-something, so I never actually saw Dennis live. However, he accepted himself for who he was and never took an attitude after his fame.
Susan Boyle, on the other hand, got nominated for the top prize because she was a horrific looking hag who has a DECENT singing voice. Her voice is better than mine, mind you. However, she is the prototypical manic-depressive sociopath who will hoard cats because her personality is about as deep a kiddie pool.
LOL!
Her priest said that she suffered brain damage at birth. He sort of looks after her since her mother died.
Susan Boyle was the youngest of four brothers and five sisters, and she was born when her mother was 47.
The Sunday Times writes that it was a difficult birth, during which Boyle was briefly deprived of oxygen, causing mild brain damage. She was diagnosed as having learning difficulties, which led to bullying and mockery at school. They called her Susie Simple at school.
After leaving school with few qualifications, she was employed in the kitchen of West Lothian College, and took part in government training schemes. She would visit the theatre from time to time to listen to professional singers, and in 1995, she auditioned for Michael Barrymore’s My Kind of People, which was looking for contestants at the Braehead Shopping Centre in Glasgow, but she said she was too nervous to make a good impression. The Guardian reports that she attended Edinburgh Acting School, and has taken part in the Edinburgh Fringe. She took singing lessons from a voice coach, Fred O’Neil, and in 1999 she made her only previous recording, singing Cry Me a River for a charity CD funded by the local council to commemorate the Millennium. O’Neil has said Boyle abandoned an audition for The X Factor because she believed people were being chosen for their looks, and that she almost abandoned her plan to enter Britain’s Got Talent. He told The Scotsman: “I remember a phone call late last year when she said she was too old and that it was a young person’s game.” O’Neil persuaded her to go to the audition.
Her mother was 47 when Susan was born. The birth was difficult and she suffered lack of ozygen and has mild brain damage/learning disabilities.
The press needs to leave this woman alone. If Paris or Madonna had done this same thing about a pet, it would not be a big deal.

You need help and prayers. I will be praying for you. It seems you have a great deal of anger towards Susan or her type.
