"Britain's Got Talent" contestant Susan Boyle may be cracking under all the media scrutiny over her rise to worldwide fame for her angelic voice. Her language, documented by The Sun in the UK, is less than heavenly.
Boyle, a Scot, can sling the F-Bombs like a sailor.
In two separate incidents, The Sun recorded her alleged conversation outside a hotel and her prior behavior inside a hotel bar where the matron went off in a tizzy when BGT judge Piers Morgan heaped enormous praise on her competition, a 12 year-old kid named Shaheen Jafargholi
According to the paper's report, police had to intervene yesterday after Susan, 48, "went berserk" in the lobby of the Wembley Plaza Hotel in North London after some strangers apparently said something to upset her.
The Sun claims Boyle was overheard saying: "How f**king dare you! You can't f**king talk to me like that."
When the police officer asked Boyle the question, "Is there a problem?" She allegedly retorted, "Of course there's a f**king problem."
The report claims a teary Susan stormed off with show producers in tow trying to ameliorate the whole tense situation.
The paper also claims that Susan "flew into another rage" on Tuesday night after judge Piers Morgan gushed over the performance of Shaheen Jafargholi. LINK
Piers, who kissed Boyle, said of Shaheen: "I think that, pound for pound, that was the best singing performance we've seen so far."
Judge Simon Cowell added: "You are a real contender in the competition."
The Sun reports that Susan was nursing her drink, watching his performance in the hotel bar with Shaheen's family and fans - and "stood and screamed 'f**k off' before flicking a 'V' at the screen and storming out."
"She got a bit annoyed when a busload of tourists asked for autographs and told them to wait until Shaheen had finished. She was smiling as Shaheen sang but afterwards, when Piers started praising him, Susan went nuts...She got up, did one of those strange wiggling dances that she does, and then stuck two fingers up at the TV. Then she marched off. We didn't see her again...Everyone staying at the hotel gets on really well - it's like one big happy BGT family - so everyone was shocked by her outburst."
The Sun claims Susan is smitten with Piers, and their source claims, "She was clearly upset that her favorite judge had sided with one of her main rivals.
The paper dispatched reporters to Boyle's home turf of Blackburn, West Lothian, and found people to comment on Boyle's temperament.
The Sun "source" in Scotland says, "It's not unusual to see her freak out over the smallest thing...A few of us think it's only a matter of time before she loses it on the show."

Susan, proud of you! Who knows what the strangers told her... I'm sure anyone would lose its cool...when being insulted for no reason. Even big stars do that...don't forget soccer player Zidane in the World Cup Final! Or Coldplay frontman Chris Martin who I adore! Yes, the pressure is on, and I'm sure she will win. I just hope she is isolated right now, relaxing in a spa, and being taken care of. Good vibes are being sent her way!
Prior to this show, the world had no idea who she was. Now, she cannot escape scrutiny. She badly needs 'handlers'; and appears also not competent to handle the money and pressures of a singing career, with public appearances.
From what I've read, no one has yet directly made a dime off backing her. It gets ratings for the show. She may yet find herself back in her home town, with some new dresses - much like Sarah Palin's career curve.
The difference being that Susan has actual talent for something .....
First of all I wouldn't believe anything this paper tells us. Are we supposed to believe that NO ONE there had a camera or even a cell phone to take a picture of this woman 'going crazy'? Now think about that..Inside this big fancy hotel where all these people are at and no one took pictures of a woman losing her mind in public?
The media are so on her right now that if she gives a big belly laugh they will say she is out of her mind with hysterics. I most likely would actually be telling people to 'f' off if I was in her place.
Sure she has a good voice, but is she up to being a celebrity in every sense of the word......not!
I THINK OVER ALL SUSAN HAS HANDLED HER SELF PRETTY WELL. I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHY SUSAN WOULD GET UPSET AFTER PIERS STATED THAT A 12 YEAR OLD WAS THE BEST HE HEARD THIS SEASON......I THINK HE JUST WANTED TO LOOK IMPARTIAL AND REALLY MEANT NO HARM. I JUST THINK SUSAN TOOK IT THE WRONG WAY BECAUSE SHE HAS SOME FEELINGS FOR HIM. I DON'T DOUGHT THOSE REPORTERS DELIBERTY PROVOKED HER INTO LOSING HER TEMPER RIGHT BEFORE THE FINAL SHOW. THEY SELL MORE NEWSPAPERS THAT WAY AND WASN'T THERE SOME BETTING GOING ON (MONEY WISE) THAT SHE MAY NOT BE THE WINNER......LOTS OF MONEY TO BE LOST IF SHE WON. NOTHING SUPRISES ME. ALSO IF CERTAIN PEOPLE SAID SHE WAS PRONE TO LOSE HER TEMPER BACK HOME IT WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS MADE FUN OF AND THIS IS BY THIER OWN ADMISSION! WHAT HYPOCRITES!!!!
Unless you've been bullied or been looked down most of your life, you would not understand Susan Boyle.
I think she is over protective of herself because of her past experiences so i am not surprised or the least big upset at her behaviour.
I empathize with her because i know what it is like because every little criticism really does feel like your under attack even if it's a joke.
Like when the judge commented, it felt like he was making a mickey out of her when to him it was just an off comment. It's particularly upseting when coming from the person you least expected it from.
Anyway hope people see it from Boyle's perspective before you judge her.
Anybody is entitled to cuss in moments of anger, and she has proved time and time again she is not afraid to speak her mind which i like about her besides her singing. You to would be pissed if someone came up to you and started bashing you or making nasty remarks.

I understand from reading reports that she had problems at birth and was considered 'slow'. All this attention is probably more than she can handle because of that and the fact that she is from a small town and hasn't had much wordly experiences. She, no doubt, would benefit from closer handling from a relative or interested party, if you will.
