Thank GOD Susan Boyle did not win; the backlash and hatred she would have received would have been horrendous, as some people have been utterly VILE about that poor woman this past week.
Some folk simply despise people becoming successful and being popular, as it irks them that someone is making something of their lives, whilst they have nothing better to do, than sit at the computer keyboard all day, punching in spiteful, vitriolic messages about people who don't deserve it, just because they are making something of themselves and their life. The resentment and hatred simmers inside them, and they can do little other than post putrid messages about someone who is doing better in life than them.
Even though Susan was extremely gracious in defeat, and actually looked HAPPY that Diversity won; there were still people saying 'she looked angry, she looked mad, and why did she have to show off her leg?' Aren't the Susan Boyle-haters happy and satisfied that she didn't win? You got your wish; the woman you despise so much did not WIN. Hope you're happy now.
In my honest opinion; I have a very strong suspicion that it was fixed for Susan Boyle to come second. Because, not only did she look massively relieved, and pleased when she heard Diversity won; but in addition, she had actually threatened to pull out earlier in the week because of all the pressure and the spiteful mean things that were being said about her.
So I reckon she said she will come to the final as long as she does not win. As good as Diversity were (and they were magnificent,) I find it hard to believe that they got more votes than Susan Boyle. (I am sure someone will come along and comment with something like 'they won, get over it, deal with it,' and so on and so on; ) but I still reckon it was fixed for Susan Boyle to come second. Thank God she did. Her life would have been a living hell if she had won; the Susan Boyle haters would have made sure of that!
And thank God Julian the sax player didn't win; nice man but what a dull and boring act!
Stavros Flately were fab, 2grand weren't very good and thank God Hollie Steele didn't win. Also, that 'dancer' (Aiden,) was utter shite. Thank God HE didn't win!
No matter what the outcome, you can bet Susan Boyle will have a much more successful career than Diversity OR Julian Smith. Diversity were one of the best dance troupes I have EVER seen, and kudos on them for coming 'first,' but I think there is only so far they can go. Susan Boyle will be around for a long long time after Diversity have disappeared from the scene. .
