Susan Boyle Joked About Never Being Kissed

Posted Wed Apr 22, 2009 1:36pm PDT by Andy Pemberton in Musictoob

 Britain's Got Talent singer Susan Boyle may not be as naive as she would have us believe.

The 47-year-old spinster told viewers of the U.K. TV talent show that she lived alone, had a cat called Pebbles, and had "never been kissed." 

But it wasn't true.

Boyle, who has competed in countless talent shows, used the line to curry favor with the audience. She told a TV interviewer from U.K. breakfast show GMTV, "That was made as a joke! Never been kissed? I've never stopped."

The blogosphere has lit up at the news. 

"Angel or crazy for publicity? You decide," was how fan site CafeArjun.com responded. "I'm forced to believe it was all a planned show!"

Popwrap.com branded her a "one-trick pony," while NowPublic.com was more understanding: "Do you think a peck on the cheek counts for being kissed?" the site asked. 

But Boyle's admission has done nothing to dampen the ardor of her millions of new fans. Many believe Boyle, who has been nicknamed the "hairy angel" according to Britain's Daily Mail, should be declared the winner of the show right now. (She has at least one more song to perform).

"Now that Susan Boyle has been acknowledged as a singing sensation for her beautiful voice, I think it would be a good idea to declare her the winner of Britain's Got Talent," wrote C.J. Crane from Mallorca in Spain.

"I am glad Simon Cowell looks like he's going to give her a recording contract," said Raymond Rees from Wales.

British fan D.E. Atkins wrote: "The makeover squad should leave Susan Boyle alone. It is her singing and simplicity that people love. Once they start trying to change Susan's image they will spoil her."

But is it too late? Is overnight stardom already threatening to change Susan Boyle?

Since her first audition, the local council has built a fence around her home to discourage autograph-hunters. Boyle has also hired a hunky live-in bodyguard, been seen sporting an expensive leather jacket, and has agreed to go on a date with one of the judges.

 

Too Much Information? PUSSYCAT DOLL NICOLE SCHERZINGER HAS GAINED WEIGHT

Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger has gained a ton of weight since returning home from her European tour. The reason? She doesn't like European food.

"I have gained a lot of weight over the last few weeks because when we were on tour in Europe and doing our two-hour show every night, it is inevitable you're going to lose weight.

"But now I'm back home and I get to eat in all of my favorite restaurants every night, I stuff my face. It's great. I love U.S. food."

Health expert Nicola Deeson says: "In order to preserve a healthy weight, Nicole should eat consistently. Binge eating is not healthy. A lot of American food contains a lot of fat or sugar, which is why U.S. obesity rates are the highest in the world. I would advise Nicole to be careful and eat a balanced diet."

 

Too Much Information? DIDDY IS SICK SICK SICK


Diddy fell ill at an Akon party he was hosting at the weekend and has been tweeting from his sick bed ever since. Shut up, already!

Even though the workaholic producer was suffering from a 103 fever, he still managed to post semi-coherent tweets.

"As I lay me down to sleep I pray GOD blesses the Locked in Movement wit the Drive+ Determination their gonna need to achieve there dreams!" he wrote.

Like I said, semi-coherent.

Later he admitted, "I thought I was gonna die! 4Real!"

 

There is no such thing as too much information, and www.musictoob.com is the proof!

If Susan Boyle was beautiful and made the statement that she'd never been kissed, then said it was just a joke no one would care. But since she is not beautiful people want to make a big deal out of it. What's up with that ?

10. araluvserick&matthew -
OMG..this article was just wack..who agrees?

11. Pamela N -
im so tired of hearing about how thin women have "porked out" when that probably means they look normal. And Im also tired of people being so obsessed with looks. Life goes beyond being young, thin and attractive. Its a lot more fun being older, normal size and realistic... :)

12. sabrina -
SHE IS UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

13. Elizabeth -
Who cares if she has been kissed or not? What matters most is that she has an INCREDIBLE talent and DESERVES her stardom!

14. Guppies -

15. Person -
LOL D33PPURPLE. I just about died right now.

16. Yahoo! Music User -
Who cares what she looks like or if she's ever been kissed? Since when does that make a person talented? The fact is that she is an incredibly gifted singer....beautiful voice! Let's focus on that instead of her personal life.

17. Heavens to Mergatroid -
Susan Boyle just said it as a joke. It was everyone else that took it seriously. What's the big deal?

18. drxcreatures -
Brett, you must be drop dead gorgeous, to be point a finger?

19. reality -
The video everyone is drooling over, she's not even singing live in. Live vocals are always distinct from the music track and both are compressed the same. This is all a plug by Simon. The only way to get her some exposure cause sadly, nobody would care cause she's not exactly the type you see on VH1.

Save Ferris.
