Boyle's Got Legs, Her Career ... Not So Much

One minute you're a worldwide Internet singing sensation ... and the next you're just an "exhausted" old bird being watched over by a series of minders.

Susan Boyle

Boyle has now bailed on two performances during her short touring career -- take that Amy Winehouse.

31. Stick a fork in her - she is so done.

32. of course this bitch doesnt have a career. To be a music star you need to look good this fugly bitch doesnt have the looks to be famous. Maybe she can be a studio singer and make a descent living but famous she will never be.

33. She needs to forget about fame. She 's just not stable enough to handle it. Apparently a quiet life is what her temperament calls for.

34. I feel so bad for Susan. She has an incredible voice, but apparently she does not have the emotional stability to handle the pressure of public scrutiny. I hope the best for her.

As for rick in post 32, since when does a persons looks have anything to do with her talent?

35. Susan Boyle doesn't have the stability for world tours, let her make an album and find a broadway show she can perfrom in. She could go back to her apartment and cat everyday and have the structured life that she needs. They are treating her to much like the circus freak shows of the past. Let her have her peace.

36. It's so over for Susan Boyle. She has lived a circumscribed life and can't handle it. The silly mincing for the camera is stupid.

37. This situation was absolutely of Susan Boyle's own making.
It was obvious from the very beginning that she lacked social
graces and stability. She doesn't have the stuff that a public
person is made of. Plain and Simple. I hope that her head-first
descent into failure is swift, for all of our sakes.

38. "... and the next you're just an "exhausted" old bird ..." says TMZ. OR, you're wowing a crowd at Wembley for two shows on Sunday - which is what Susan Boyle did tonight as part of the Britain's Got Talent tour. If TMZ cared about the truth, they'd print that Simon Cowell clearly stated that Susan would do only a handful of shows, in order to keep her rested for her CD recording and for her trip to the US (which is supposed to happen directly after the tour). There is no doubt Susan lacks stamina and needs support (like many stars), but judging by her performances on Sunday, she doesn't lack talent, grit or desire. She'll be just fine.

39. Ok... Seriously. What's wrong with this picture?! Has it been photoshopped in any way cuz Susan looks very deformed (not trying to be funny at all).

40. Her career is NOT over. And Susan has a sense of humor as well as a lot of talent. Times are SO shallow that people are driven to mental stress thanks to a lot of horrible, uncalled-for comments. OLD ? Guess what, whichever little TMZ jack-ass wrote that, you'll be 50 one day. If you're lucky. "Age happens", stupid.

41. she's FINE, her career is NOT over and she's not "mentally ill". she was under a ton of stress and dealing with a lot of crappy, rotten comments. People are fragile. If your body can break down and need a little repair, why is it so hard to figure out the same thing can happen to your mind ? hell, at least she's not a flaming bitch who says rotten things, unlike 80% of people on this board. and age happens, as if TMZ staff are not aging right this minute ? TICK-TOCK.

42. The whole bunch of you are idiots if you believe all the crap you read or see in the rags..
I wonder how you would handle it if it was you they were saying all these made up or half truths about.
Have you seen pictures of some of these so called movie stars and singers without all their makeup ... yuk!
Susan Boyle was not suppose to do all the shows on the tour ... straight from the mouth of Simon Cowell.
And the ones she did do she got a standing ovation everytime.
She has a beautiful voice and is going to make millions and will have the last laugh on you all.
So go back to your worship of all the phoney's like Britney Spears and the like and leave Susan Boyle alone she doesn't need you .

43. YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY AS SUSAN BOYLE. THIS WOMAN WORKED HARD AND HAD COURAGE TO SING AN AUDITION FOR BGT. SHE IS NOT MENTALLY ILL, AND IF SO...SO WHAT. SHE CAN SING HER WAY TO GOOD HEALTH CARE NOW! DON'T BE SO CERTAIN THAT YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR HER. YOU DON'T WALK IN HER SHOES. YOU'RE SO LAME YOU JUST WANT ANOTHER BRITTANY SPEARS LITTLE GIRL WONDER TYPE. ROCK ON SUSAN, YOU SMOKE 'EM1
