Whether you like Susan Boyle or not, no-one can deny that her rise to fame has been meteroic.
I personally think that it's great that someone who has a naturally good voice (IMO,) has come to our attention, and is being noticed, especially as there are so many acts out there that are really not that good, and I actually do like Susan, and I like her singing. (Although I understand that not everyone is keen on her.)
And let's face it, all of her success and the 'hype' is not her fault, as she has been publicised like mad by the people around her, and it's the internet and the news that has made her so big worldwide. So all of the hype is totally not her fault.
And now after the hype and adoration; we have the negativity. People have been downright cruel and mean towards Susan, calling her all kinds of names and ridiculing her, and saying she is crap and she is dumb and she is 'arrogant' and 'full-of-herself.,' Piers Morgan has said that he thinks it's disgusting that people have behaved like this towards her, and that after 20 years at Fleet Street, he can handle this kind of barrage of hatred, but she is not equipped to deal with it.
So why do you think people are 'like' this? Why are people so nasty to someone who has simply become popular through a tv talent show and has done nothing to deserve the vitriol? Do we just love to build people up in this country, and then knock them down as fast as we put them up there?
And does it show that fame isn't what it's cracked up to be? I have heard many a horror story about how someone has become famous quickly, and then not been able to handle it, and how when someone becomes famous, there is a hardcore of haters who make nasty, vitriolic remarks, which let's face it, are cruel and unneccesary.
According to this news item, Susan is actually starting to lose it, and got very upset because someone had a go at her in public. (I don't know who on earth this person thought they were, attacking Susan for no reason at all, but they did.)

So is fame all it's cracked up to be? And why do we - as a nation - rave about someone, and build them up so much, and then knock them down again? And why do some people plain and simple dislike or even hate Susan, to the point where they are pretty horrid about her, when she has done nothing to deserve the hatred? In fact, why ARE people so hateful to someone just because they think they don't deserve the adoration, or are bored hearing about them?
I would love to hear peoples' opinions and views on this.

Positive and negative press comes with the fame game. Sad but true!
I honestly didn't know that there had been a lot of SB threads as I only just got back off my hols. And this thread is about why people knock people who are successful and enjoy knocking them down after they have been built up.
I wonder if Susan knew what a can of worms she would open when she went on this show. And I wonder why some people have been so very horrible about her? Are they jealous and bitter as storm said? (I think so actually..) Or is it that they can't understand the fuss at all, and their opinions comes across as hatred and bitterness? (to some..)
, it's the other acts I feel sorry for having to turn up everyday when everything is about her they must be thinking whats the point, she'll still win though.
