Singer Susan Boyle in London Clinic

The Scottish Internet singing sensation Susan Boyle has been admitted to a London clinic. Officials of a hugely popular British talent TV show say she is emotionally drained.48-year-old Susan Boyle last month became an overnight success with her stunning performance of "I Dreamed a Dream" on the television series "Britain's Got Talent."

Within days, Boyle, who lives alone with her cat, was headline news around the world. On the Internet her performance has been downloaded nearly 200 million times.

She was invited to appear on the Oprah Winfrey and Larry King shows in America, while tabloid newspapers tracked her every move.




Saturday night, people in her hometown of Blackburn in Scotland watched the finale anxiously, expecting the unlikely celebrity to win. But after her shock defeat by dance troupe "Diversity", the singer was admitted to a clinic in London that treats people with mental health problems.




Britain's Got Talent' judge Piers Morgan says Susan Boyle's performance on Saturday was nothing short of miraculous, but that the experience has left her emotionally drained.




Boyle's brother Gerry Boyle, says his sister is feeling better.

Speaking from his home, Boyle, says he could not say for certain when his sister would leave the clinic, but he does expect it to be in the next couple of days.

Celebrity psychiatrist, Linda Papadopolous says this case is extreme and Boyle was not prepared to deal with the fame that awaited her.

Some question whether such reality shows are unnecessarily cruel to contestants.




British bookmakers are already taking bets on Boyle recording a No. 1 record and appearing in a London West End musical before the year is out.

EXACTLY you interview people to let them tell their side of the story! You don't just summarise what they say and speak over the top.

Although I've just noticed... is this a news programme for non-native-english speaking peoples?
