Comments on: Susan Boyle Pulls Out of Tonight’s Manchester Concert http://www.mjsbigblog.com/susan-boyle-pulls-out-of-tonights-manchester-concert.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Daniel B http://www.mjsbigblog.com/susan-boyle-pulls-out-of-tonights-manchester-concert.htm/comment-page-2/#comment-281007 Daniel B Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:05:17 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/susan-boyle-pulls-out-of-tonights-manchester-concert.htm#comment-281007 Well, my apologies if I'm misunderstanding. I see nothing that indicates she is mentally handicapped. Lots of people have problem births. Lots of people have learning disorders. Lots of people work hard and can keep their word regardless of this. It is not an excuse for 'pulling a diva'. The woman knowingly signed on for the show, knowing what she was getting into (unless she really is mentally handicapped, in which case BGT should be held liable, but again there is no evidence I've ever seen to suggest she's mentally unfit). If she plain old decided this isn't the career for her and doesn't want anything to do with it, that's fine, that's her choice. But the natural consequence will be that she will fade back to ignominy and not have much of a career, which is also fine. It's her life, I support her right to choose to do, or not do, whatever she wants. But again I have no sympathy for her. As far as I can tell she knew what she was signing up for. Also just want to point out that I used to work with the mentally handicapped, the ones I worked with are some of the most innocent, gentle, and generous-hearted people alive. I have never met one that was lazy though, or ego-driven. Seems like Susan could learn a thing or two. Just saying. Well, my apologies if I’m misunderstanding.

By promoting themselves like that it seems to me they then have a duty to offer support to the people they wind up with. But what they do instead is encourage everybody -- and themselves, especially -- to engage in an orgy of self-congratulation over our/their compassion and open-mindedness. And then leave the people to be chewed up and spat out by the fame machine. It's really sickening. I don't like their wet-eyed phony-compassion-laced shows anyway -- ditto for the American version -- but when you see an outcome like this it becomes even more disgusting. I hope to heck someone steps up and gives this poor woman the support she needs. It probably wouldn't be that difficult, if they'd just do it. Honestly, I don't think she had anything like the experience and savvy, and maybe the brain power, to know what she was getting into. All she knew was that this show might finally give her a bit of her dream -- after she'd been essentially confined to her home with her mom all her life as her siblings went off to their own lives, because her mental and emotional vulnerabilities made her the most suitable for staying around the house. Talk about "the tigers come at night with their voices soft as thunder, and they tear your hope apart and turn your dream to shame." ... How prescient that song is now. She was too much of an innocent to understand what she was getting into, and the producers were definitely soft-voiced tigers. Too bad family and friends didn't warn her off this, but I guess it's very hard to say to somebody with a talent that they can't try for their dreams. And they woudln't have to say it if the show actually practiced some of the humanity that they want us to believe they represent.

If she can get over the effects of the last few months, and has a good support team, there's no reason she should be denied the chance at a career too.

But this is not "job related stress" in the form that any of us deal with. People without underlying emotional issues crack.

There's a reason some people live very solitary existences with only pets for comfort: it is all they can handle.
