All of a sudden, finishing second on Britain's Got Talent is the least of Susan Boyle's worries.
The singing sensation was rushed to the hospital a day after Saturday's finale, as judge Piers Morgan said:
"I spoke to her yesterday for about half an hour and she's fine. She's gone in for some rest. She needs to get away from everyone – get away from the show, from the media, the public, and just have a bit of down time to herself."
He added that Boyle entered the hospital entirely of her own volition and wished her a speedy recovery.
"Nobody, and I stress this, has had to put up with the kind of attention that Susan has. And no one could have predicted it – so we entered uncharted territory," Morgan said.
Hang in there, Susan Boyle! An adoring public awaits your return.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown even chimed in on the talent competition, congratulations winning dance troupe Diversity and adding:
"I hope Susan Boyle is okay, because she is a really, really nice person, and I think she will do well."

Susan Boyle has learning disabilities - that doesn't mean she finds it hard to do maths. Learning disabled people have difficulties knowing how to behave " appropriately" in social situations and coping with pressure. It's expected that, put in this situation, someone with learning disabilities would react "unusually" or find it difficult to cope. The British press have ridiculed her - it' disgusting to ridicule someone born with a brain injury which has left her socially disabled.
