What a wonderful person she is, no wonder she is exhausted.

Susan has come from a very quiet part of the country and has had fame thrown at her by the initial win, then the press were very unkind to her and about her, now all of a sudden she is the best thing since 'Sliced Bread'.

No wonder she has broken down temporarily, also she is not too proud to let her very normal feelings be known. Bless her heart she needs rest from all forms of media, she is not used to it and why should she be ?

Give her a chance all of you out there.

I have no doubt that after a good rest she will 'Step up to the Plate' and astound all of you, she has a fantastic voice, but lacks a little confidence, possibly she has only done, what we have all done in our pasts', and that is to sing to her 'hairbrush' pretending its a mic. I know I did it many many years ago.

Please give her time, its all she needs and a lot of TLC, and decent advice and perhaps a bit of counselling to raise her self confidence, and self esteem, which I am sure she is getting now, hopefully.

Susan, we have something in common, lacking self confidence, I couldn't have done what you did, go for it girl, amaze them all. You can, I know you can, you enjoyed singing to everyone that was obvious, keep singing, its your happiest time.
