Susan Boyle
Fred O'Neil, a professional singer who taught Miss Boyle until she gave up lessons when her mother died, said that the Britain's Got Talent media machine could stifle her and was obscuring "the real person" he knew. While he welcomed her phenomenal success, with tens of millions of fans viewing footage of her on performance on the internet, he warned that she might not have time to nurture her talent. He told The Independent: "As a singer she always had a lovely, calm, beautiful rounded voice. It is a very good instrument, but I am concerned about her being surrounded by all these PR people that she will not be given the time to sing....it is not respecting someone, saying they have a voice like an angel and then calling them names."
IMO: I know nothing about singing, Beethoven string quartets and the 'Grateful Dead' being my simple favorites. But I did take the trouble to watch Youtube clips of this singer and I found the (probably usual) p.r. stuff appalling and quite disgusting. So my feelings tell me I agree 100 percent with Mr. O'Neil.
