Boyle Backlash? Will she cash in?

That’s what they are calling it, according to the News of the World. The idea is that Susan’s issues earlier in the week  when she ‘lost her temper’ in a London hoteland almost pulled out of the talent show finale. This may have influenced millions of viewers to switch their votes to her competitor dance act.

 

In Scotland,  Boyle’s hometown of Blackburn, the   headline in the Sunday Mail read
“Boyle foiled in final: Susan’s dream is over.”  

 
The News of the World says Boyle’s likely earnings on the back of “Britain’s Got Talent” to £8 million ($13 million). Pretty good for a  48-year-old church volunteer.  Her video has been viewed millions of times and is the fifth-most watched clip ever on YouTube.
But despite her popularity, she was beaten in the finals by the street dance group . 

In an interview with the News of the World, Simon Cowell said Boyle could be the biggest star he had ever discovered.

“They don’t care in America whether she wins a British TV show — they care about the woman they saw singing on YouTube,” a Cowell insider also told the paper. “If anything, £8 million in her first year might be an underestimate.”
