omg, I cant believe people actually like this woman, there are people in this world who take time and training to get to respected positions in the musical world. People like this woman make a joke out of those who really try. Yes she can sing; so can millions of people. The only reason people think that she is any good is because the media have said so.
I am sorry but her first performance was not wonderful, and blame it on what you will, memory was hideous. She did not support her voice at all for the whole performance, and even after her stumble at the beginging there isn't a huge improvement. There are much better singers out there; and I dont see why this lady should be allowed to waltz in and take the spotlight they so rightly deserve. Sorry to anyone who this may have offended, i.e. anyone who listens to what the media say rather than what their ears tell them; but she is not worthy of the final of any competition, especially not a talent one... however that 12y/o can re

I am not saying Susan Boyle is the greatest singer I've ever heard, but she has put herself up there warts to follow her dream. Susan is an inspiration to any would be singer who has felt that it is never too late to give up on their dream.
Lily Allen should remember that fame is all to fleeting. In the five weeks Susan had managed to touch the right chord with so many people in her first performance, than I think Lily will ever do in her own life time.
Sometimes Lily should engage her brain before opening her mouth, with her throw away comments. Lily Allen has forgotten what it is like to start at the beginning.

Lily Allen is right and she's not being rude. She has her opinion and it equals my own. SuBo acts like she has already won and that Shaheen kid is waaaay better. If Susan looked tidy and a little less disheveled she wouldn't have had half this publicity.

I have at least heard of Lily Allen, and heard her!! She doesn't sing she 'talks through' her songs(?)Perhaps she could enunciate a little clearer then I may understand what's she's on about!! Graciousness does not seem to be one of her qualities!! Has or was SHE never nervous? With her voice I don't suppose anyone would notice?? Susan Boyle at least has something to be proud of a voice that can REALLY sing and soar!! Lily will be forgotten by the time she's 47!

Lily Allen won't care about CD sales, she doesn't get a percentage. Her money is made from sold out shows.

Lily Allen is very sure, of what her voice sounds like. Are you aware, of what you sound like? You went out of you're way, to leave a comment, about somebody you don't like. Most of her shows, are sold out. So, she's not going out of her way to sing.

Jodey, you're right that Susan was exploited, but surely people have to realize that wasn't her fault.
Either way, Susan will sell a lot more CD's then Lily without a doubt.

Lily Allen cant even sing herself, so to comment on someone else's singing really makes me laugh. she should listen to herself.

I actually agree with Lily Allen here, even though I normally despise her!
Yes, SuBo is good, but there are many other amazing contestants in the show, and they have the same chance as Susan of winning. She has been majorly exploited, which I feel has ruined her. Lily wasn't rude towards Susan, she clearly stated she thought she was a good singer.
And to those who haven't heard of Lily Allen: It's because she hasn't been over-exposed like Susan has.

Susan Boyle can sing! Lily Allen did write that! Mandy took the time to write down, what was written on Lily Allen''s twitter page, but,, she was stupid enough to write down, only what she wanted to know! That can only mean, that she did not check, the twitter page, no, she only wrote down, what was written in the article. Lily Allen also included, that Susan Boyle seemed like a lovely person. Most of the twitter comment was about, how unfair, the judgment can be. You see people that don't like her, won't read her information, because they don't care unless it's negative. People that write about her put a twist on things, to get you're interest(..Yeah, yeah, you know that!!) But you'll show up when the story is something bad about Lily Allen, (>>It's a matter, of who cares about the facts as long as I can bash her kind of thing. ) Then you'll go back to the I don't give a sh*t idea, because you're an idiot.

Lily Allen's comments are a perfect case of 'pot calling the kettle black'...she is big here in Britain but I've yet to understand why. It's so funny that you guys haven't heard of her, and when you do hear her you're not impressed...I feel like I've been the only one sitting here wondering what the hype over her is all about!

I've never even heard of Lily Allen, so I did some checking. I listened to her on youtube and found her singing to be mediocre at best and I looked up some of her "songs" and found the "lyrics" to be total filth which apparently she has written herself. On Amazon most of her songs are labeled "explicit" with a few that have been cleaned up. Someone who writes and sings filth is not qualified to judge someone with the amazing talent of Susan Boyle. Lily, you aren't even fit to shine Susan's shoes!
Ummm. Who is Lily Allen? This trick is a "star" because she got on her knees in the right studio. If she had any class, and if she were truly an artist, she'd be gracious and wish this obviously talented woman the best of luck. Amy Winehouse may be a talentless crackhead, but she sure got this bee-atch's number straight off!

"I thought her timing was off on Britain’s Got Talent on Sunday - no control, and I don't think she has an amazing voice."
As if Britain's little 'darling' can do any bloody better!! Lily Allen couldn't beat Susan in a singing contest to save her life! Let alone be deserving of Susan's worldwide popularity and fame.
If Lily believes she is more talented than Susan, she is definitely taking Amy Winehouse's path and going on ecstasy.
Believe it if you want 'darling' but as if anyone in the right mind would listen to you rant about people more talented than you.
Cue Amy Winehouse.

Who is Lily Allen? I have never heard anithing about her in Norway. Susan Boyle has lots of fans all around the world, i dont think Miss Allen has it in her, she cant be happy for a raising star, so we should not stand by her in any way either.
