SUSAN STILL HAS TALENT

SUSAN BOYLE DID *NOT* WIN "BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT":

May was a good month for talent show upsets. First, ADAM LAMBERT didn't win "American Idol", and then, on Saturday night, the very talented SUSAN BOYLE failed to win "Britain's Got Talent".

She was beaten out by a dance team called DIVERSITY. Susan was VERY gracious in defeat. As she waited for the announcement, she looked like she was about to pass out . . . but once it was over, it seemed like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

She said, "The best people won. They are very entertaining lads. I wish you all the best." As for what's in her future, she said, "I hope to get an album out. Who knows? I will just play it by ear." (--Here's the big announcement . . . notice that Susan mugs for the camera, and even shows a little leg . . .)

Meanwhile, the not-always-reliable British tabloids say that Susan was rushed to some kind of private clinic called Priory following Saturday's finale, because she was suffering from exhaustion. A so-called "source" said, "When the paramedics and police arrived she agreed to go voluntarily. She didn't make a fuss. The paramedics calmly took her out through the main lobby and into the waiting ambulance. "It was all done very calmly. They didn't want to stress or upset her. She didn't look well . . .she looked lost, not all there."

A rep for "Britain's Got Talent" said, "Following Saturday's show, Susan is exhausted and emotionally drained. "She has been seen by her private physician, who supports her decision to take a few days out for rest and recovery. We offer her our ongoing support and wish her a speedy recovery."
