Susan Boyle/forgets words on live tv

jellyboy · 23-07-2014 09:33PM #1

Susan Boyle was just brought on for the opening of the Commonwealth games and forgot the words to Mull of kintyre on live tv..

She screamed and twisted an amazing song till it sounded like a teletubby version..

My guess is that she mixed up her words in singing it for 3 mins
it was car crash tv ,had the remote and flicked off a few times ,but the voyuer in me kept going back

My Question to after hours is

How did you **** up in public or private

What toe cringing moment makes you shiver

Getting a boner on stage at a school play.

Would be worse if you were sitting in the audience

I dunno at all if she's the full shilling.

There had to have been a better Scottish singer to give that song to....

Accidentaly called out the wrong name in bed.

Was there any booing at the end? I love booing, there's some great clips on youtube of bands and comedians getting booed off stage. Whenever I'm feeling down I throw them on, the Nickelback one is my favourite.

She's been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome.

How fùck do I know that?

Sharting my pants. Not only is is degrading. It's the fact you then have to try hide it, and then manually wash your pants.

I'm cringing at the whole thing.

She'd be a great deterrent to suicide bombers, once they see what a Virginia actually looks like.

I stood up to go up for my First Holy Communion, with all the other kids, and tripped over my kneeling Mams legs, head-first out into the aisle and clonked my head off the opposite pew in the aisle..try getting up after that..morto doesn't even cover it.

Well that's what you get for picturing them all naked!

I can't sing for tuppence but if I could, and I went onstage like she does, I would forgive mysef for getting stagefright or messing up sometimes.. i am sure it wuld be an issue for anyone at some point so have a heart...and yes she has a learning disability of some kind too ..i seem to remember asd being mentioned somewhere so it coud be difficult for her to deal with a huge event or the public in general, especially all staring at her

Given the abuse she gets for no reason it's not surprising she gets upset or nervous.

absolutely. heard her on the radio recently. a presenter asked her what her hometown was like or something like that and no sooner had she opened her mouth..giving a perfectly normal average response..there were loud sniggers from the audience. i'd challenge anyone not to feel like crawling into a hole and dying under that pressure and knowing people around you already thought you were an object of ridicule. I can't believe how mean people can be.

Tail Docker · 23-07-2014 10:08PM

Having a talent doesn't mean you have a talent for coping with big crowds or fame. I think she is fragile tbh, and that's fair enough. Some people are fragile. There you go, it isn't a crime.

even the ones who mightnt seem like they are fragile, can succumb to it in the long run, often abusing drink and drugs as coping mechanisms too.. a lot of people find that the pressure is too much sooner or later, even the more able ones

C'mon Susan ....... we love you!

She didn't completely forget the words, just mumbled a bit at the start and I think it threw her then- but she did get through it even if it wasn't a great performance.

She has far more severe special needs than people realise I think- but because she doesn't "look" like she has special needs, I think she is far more open to ridicule than she might otherwise be. Not saying that you're ridiculing her OP, but just that the pressure she's under is monumental even for someone with no special needs. I really would be very worried for her if she was related to me, I'm not sure if she really has the capacity to cope. I saw a bit of a documentary about her before and she can sometimes completely freeze up. Very hard to watch, my heart goes out to her.

On the whole calling your teacher Mam/Mammy thing- I'm a teacher and I get that ALL the time despite the fact that I'm not really old enough to be any of their mothers. I always just say "Don't worry, I've been called far worse" and they either just laugh it off then or get distracted trying to guess what I have been called that they don't think about the shame of it anymore!
