Susan Boyle's meltdown during screening of Britain's Got Talent

Susan Boyle might be starting to show signs of pressure before the big finale of Britain's Got Talent on Saturday night.

Apparently when she heard a judge praising her biggest competition Shaheen Jafargholi, she responded by flipping a 'two-fingered' bird to the TV and saying '"F*** off!".

A judge was calling the 12-year-old "the best singing performance we have heard in the semi-finals so far".

A Boyle spokesman denied the report. The 48-year-old singer was not even in the main hotel room at the time, and had gone back to her personal room, the spokesman said.

The news comes after a pop singer claimed on Twitter that Boyle was "overrated."

Boyle is currently preparing for the big finale Saturday May 30th.

Boyle is certainly crashing. Her underdog nature has been completely zapped with this, no one likes the nasty underdog. Some people say she deserves a break, others that she is crazy. It's a funny contrast and I think this video shows it http://www.newsy.com/videos/is_boyle_feeling_the_heat

I was annoyed to hear this. Not because she became angry and swore (I do that at least once a day) but because she seems to be finding it difficult to cope with everything that's happening at the moment. Coming from what seems to be a very sheltered background, I can't help but think that she may have bitten off (or been given) more than she can chew.

Well, I am not surprised and I do agree with the judge defending her.

Regardless if this incident is indeed true and has been reported accurately, I can completely sympathize with Susan Boyle. She is entering a whole new world for her. So what if she got upset and let someone know who deserved it. Susan still gets my vote of confidence and I still believe she has star quality talent.
