Lily Allen: Susan Boyle is Overrated

by at .

Susan Boyle, the 48-year-old Scottish singer who has taken a nation by storm upon advancing to the final round on Britain’s Got Talent, hasn't won over the whole UK.

Despite Boyle's beating out seven other performers belting out "Memory" from the musical Cats to reach the finals, English songstress Lily Allen was unimpressed.

"I thought her timing was off on Britain’s Got Talent on Sunday - no control," the 24-year-old songbird opined on her official Twitter page.

"And I don't think she has an amazing voice."

Allen then made a comment that appeared to suggest that Susan Boyle is a mere gimmick: "She can sing," she said, "but it's not about talent with her, is it?"

She "seems like a lovely lady but, if the show is about talent, then that [Shaheen Jafargholi] kid should win." Who do you think has got more talent in Britain?

The Britain’s Got Talent finale competition takes place this Saturday.

    Lets put it this way... it Lily Allen had a good song, I would download it off the web for FREE. But I would go BUY "Susan Boyle" cd and have a smile on my face even if I had less cash in my wallet. Artistry is very subjective - hopefully one day when Susan Boyle becomes a dive she will look back at Lily Allen's comments and feel pity for her ignorance and stupidity.

    I didn't know Lily, first time I noticed the name when she gave comments against Susan. Now I know who Lily is, I think this is a good way to be popular. Everybody knows who is Susan, Lily is recognized as a person who is "NOT FAN " (Susan) and tried to shine by this opportunity - Famous Susan. Very clever, Lily you already famous:-)You got it! (sorry for not proper english)

    Lily Allen has not realesed a decnt song yet but at the same time you have to think that she has a guarenteed future as for susan boyle an amazing singer is already an old haggis. Definetly Shaheen should of won yesterday and in second diversity and then susan boyle. she is to overrated imagine you had never heard of Rhianna if she went to BGT as a knew talent people wouldnt like her as much as Susan do you know why Because she is ugly if she wasnt ugly she would be treated as some other contestant if she wasnt ugly she wouldnt of came second last night. So lily im backing you on this one. Sorry Susan.

    First the wow factor then the backlash from selfish spiteful plainly jealous people. Unfortunately it's more difficult to be gracious as a human being and more in our nature to be spiteful. Susan Boyle has amazing talent. 99% of those criticising her have none. My landlady laughed when the 10 year old girl broke down in the semi final and was aghast she got a second chance. She's 10 years old !! The acts aren't the freaks on this show,it's many of those who watch it.
