I read that Susan Boyle, the star attraction in Britain's Got Talent, has been admitted to a mental clinic. I could imagine the kind of pressure she faced trying to live up to the expectation that almost the whole of Britain had on her.
During the Susan Boyle week, my friend asked me what I think of her and I said she is like a freak show. Mind you, I do not mean that Susan Boyle is a freak but I meant the fascination of people wanting to see what she is all about, the kind of sensation that she has created but you do know that the producers think of her as a cash cow and make use of this public attention to gain more viewership, ratings and advertising dollars for the program.
It happens every season and it is just too bad that this year it happened to Susan Boyle. Hopefully, she can make something for herself from the experience and media attention that she has gained through her participation in Britain's Got Talent.
