素有"毒舌"之称的《美国偶像》评委西蒙-考威尔(Simon Cowell)近日在媒体上发表评论,他认为最近凭借《英国达人》(British talent show)迅速蹿红的苏格兰大婶苏珊-波伊儿(Susan Boyle) 前途不容乐观。而这样的一个预言得到了印证。苏珊大妈还是被淘汰了。
There may be not anybody alive today with the TV as you’ve heard of or seen Susan Boyle, the singer from Scotland whose saga1 has a lot of people wondering if it all wasn’t too good to be true, it came to a less than romantic ending Saturday night with millions watching on live TV. Now we learn it may not be over, some would like to know exactly what has happened here, our report tonight from NBC’s Dawna Friesen in London.
She rose so far, so fast.
“I dreamed a dream in time of live … …”
Her shy slightly awkward style made Susan Boyle an unlikely superstar, but as quickly as she shot to fame, came reports, she was cracking. Boiling over, swearing a journalist, unable to stand the pressure and on the verge2 of walking out, so on the night of the final of Britain’s Got Talent. Many wondered if she could hold it together. She did. It was another soaring performance, another standing3 ovation4.
A lot of people said you shouldn’t be in this competition that you are not equipped to do with it, I completely disagree with that.
In the end, though.
The winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2009 is Diversity.
Boyle seemed gracious in defeat, but there were reports she collapsed5 in tears back stage.
It’s reported Boyle then threw a glass of water on a floor manager, and shouted: I hate the show. Then last night after reportedly acting6 strangely in the hotel, the police and paramedics were called and Boyle was brought voluntarily here: The Priory. It’s a private clinic that specializes in mental health issues.
She said to be exhausted7 and emotionally drained.
She needs to get away, and you know, be amongst her friends and family and away from the media glared and just chill out a bit.
Tonight Britain’s media regulators said it may launch an inquiry8 after viewers complain the producers shouldn’t have allowed Boyle to go on when they knew she wasn’t eating and sleeping properly and that she is a vulnerable woman who is exploited for the sake of ratings.
