When Susan Boyle touched down into US soil last weekend, I’m pretty sure that she never expected the kind of reception that she got in LAX. As the Britain’s Got Talent sensation exited into the terminal, the singer was greeted with a waiting crowd of 2000 people. After seeing the crowd, the visibly stunned and flattered Susan said “Oh my word. Is this for me? I’m really nervous and quite overwhelmed by the reaction. It’s like nothing I’ve ever come across. It’s so flattering and I am really excited about being here. Thank you so much.” It’s nice to see that she’s still so humble after all her success.

It’s been reported that Susan Boyle is cracking under the pressure of her recent fame. Don’t hold that against her though. Britain’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan thinks that way too and says that people should leave the poor woman alone. He told the Early Show that “You have to remember with Susan, she’s a 48-year-old lady from a tiny village in Scotland who has never been exposed to anything like this kind of attention. And I think she’s really feeling the heat.” Being a celebrity isn’t going to last forever but I truly want her to stick this out. I see great things for her in the future.

Piers Morgan said his heart “absolutely bleeds” for Susan Boyle after media reports she flipped out in a hotel lobby.

Susan, 47, reportedly had a foul-mouthed rant after she heard judge Piers, 44, praising another contestant on Britain’s Got Talent.

It is claimed Susan was later spoken to by police when she had another dispute with reporters.

Piers wrote on his blog: “Imagine, if you will, being anonymous for 47 years of your life, and then suddenly being propelled into genuine world superstardom. For many people, it would be a dream come true.”

He added: “All that fame and attention, and the prospect of all that money to come with it down the line. But let me tell you now, there is a downside to fame. People start criticising you, sniping at you, trying to trip you up, belittle you, harass you.”

The semi-finals are still taking place to find the final contestants to compete in the upcoming final. Susan already has a place in the final after appearing in the first semi-final and winning the public vote.

Piers added: “Then imagine, too, having all this go on when you are days away from the final of a competition that can make or break your career and your life. A competition that everyone expects you to win, a fact that in itself piles on even more pressure. This is exactly the situation that Susan Boyle now finds herself in.”

He added: “And my heart absolutely bleeds for the poor woman.”
