Scottish acts have done well on Britain’s Got Talent with Susan Boyle enjoying phenomenal success and Janey Cutler winning fans across the world after her performance on this year’s show.

Stevie Starr, akaThe Regurgitator was also a popular act this year and although he didn’t make it into the final, the Glaswegian’s stomach churning performance did win him a legion of fans, fascinated by his ability to regurgitate large objects. Now Stevie has come under fire after he angered families at a children’s gala day in Kelty Fife.

Starr was paid £1000 to perform at the popular event but his swallowing of goldfish wasn’t the only thing churning audience members stomachs. According to The Sun, Stevie launched into a series of X rated jokes about sex acts during his performance.

One parent who was at the gala with his two year old daughter and four year old son told the paper: “I was there with my two young children and had to walk away after several minutes due to his disgusting language and jokes. “He even had a young boy of about nine from the audience helping him when he was telling the jokes.”

Starr’s manager Mike Malley defended his act and accused parents of over-reacting. He told The Sun: “Some people complain for the sake of complaining. I would imagine he said words like s*** and bloody because he does when he’s swallowing goldfish. But you’ll never hear him say the F Word.”

The organisers of the gala have not yet commented on the matter.

The prospect has been described as “tragic” by Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr, while politicians said the bank could have done more to save Terminal’s 15 jobs. RBS insisted it had acted “fairly and reasonably” during talks over the deal.

Record producer Stuart McCredie used the loan to set up the studio in 2005, when former First Minister Jack McConnell officially opened its doors. Since then, artists including Kelly Clarkson, Belle and Sebastian, The Fratellis and Deacon Blue have laid down tracks with the West Regent Street studio.

Mr McCredie said his offer to pay back 90 per-cent of the loan with the rest secured against his property had been rejected by the bank.

Bail out

His initial attempts to refinance the loan and move his business to another bank in 2009 fell through. He said: “I have acted responsibly and professionally, offering a viable refinance that banking experts have told me is more than acceptable. I am at a loss to understand their obstructive behaviour, especially at a time when RBS is actually meant to be supporting small businesses. This angers me as I cannot forget the huge role RBS played in creating the current financial crisis. It was bailed out by us, the taxpayer, and I wish it afforded small businesses the same support we gave it.”

Simple Minds frontmant Jim Kerr said saving the studio was “vital” in keeping Scotland on the music world’s map. He said: “Glasgow is known worldwide as a great music city. For this to continue, it is vital that we have top of the range studio facilities. McCredie has created a perfect studio and a fine team of engineers, and it would be tragic for me and many others not to be able to work in Glasgow because of a lack of music facilities.”

Disappointing

The studio’s local MP Ann McKechin criticised RBS for its role in the studio’s plight. The Labour member for Glasgow North said: “It claims to be the most helpful bank, but being truly helpful would mean ensuring that people were kept in jobs and businesses were kept afloat with a more constructive attitude to resolving debts.

“This is a very difficult financial climate, and McCredie has not shown any shortage of effort in trying to resolve the problem. It is very disappointing that the bank is prepared to pull the plug and allow a number of people in one of Scotland’s key creative industries to lose their jobs.”

A spokesperson for RBS said: “We know this is a tough time for many businesses. We are prevented from going into detail in this case, but we believe that the bank has acted fairly and reasonably and provided the required financial support over a number of years.”

It is safe to say that Susan Boyle has captured the attention of the world. After her April 11th 2009 success on the UK television show, “Britain’s Got Talent”, Susan and her unforgettable voice have moved many who heard her sing to tears. The world, the judges and the audience were thoroughly surprised upon hearing her sing, as they had not expected to hear “the voice of an angel” come from someone who appeared to be so gauche and plain. Susan has shown the world that no one should prejudge another person based on their appearance, a lesson many of us seem to have forgotten.

Her rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical Les Miserables has been viewed 100 million times as of April 20th on YouTube, said to be an online record for this web site. Her listening public includes Hollywood Stars Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, who brought her to the attention of the Twitter world. Susan has become a popular figure with bookmakers as well. In fact, she has become one of the biggest certainties in the betting history of all reality television. Live betting odds abound, with online bookmakers giving odds of 2/5 showing her as a favourite to win the talent contest.

Global sensation Susan Boyle is a single woman from West Lothian, Scotland. Sources say that Susan’s birth was a difficult one, which caused her to be deprived of oxygen for a brief period. This perilous start in life is said to be the reason why she had learning difficulties in school. Cruel children teased her, calling her “Susie Simple”, but Boyle comforted herself by singing. Encouraged by her mother, Susan took singing lessons from a voice coach.

Unemployed except for a six-month stint as a trainee cook, Susan dedicated her life to caring for her elderly mother. She would sing at various local venues, including her church, where she is also a volunteer. Susan attended acting school, and in 1999 recorded “Cry Me a River” for a charity CD. Ms. Boyle also used all of her savings in 1999 to have a demo tape of her singing professionally cut. She sent the finished product to various record companies, local and national television stations, but got lost in the proverbial shuffle and never heard back from any of them.

Susan Boyle’s mother passed away at the age of 91 in 2007. Susan has said that her mother always wanted her to try out for “Britain’s Got Talent”, yet she did not feel compelled to do so until after her mother’s death. Seeking a musical career is Susan’s way of paying tribute to her mother. It has been reported that Susan is amazed at the world’s reaction to her talent.

In a world where so many people are focused on a person’s looks, almost at the exclusion of anything else be it talent or otherwise, Susan is a breath of fresh air. Her singing talent speaks for itself, and Susan’s rise from obscurity will continue to garner the world’s attention.

About Author

Now the whole world knows who Susan Boyle is, a forty-seven year old woman who spent her life living with her mother and her cats (until her mother recently passed away). She sang karaoke at local pubs though her dream was to be a professional singer.  

When she walked on stage during the Britain’s Got Talent show, the audience laughed, the judges were cynical. Why? Because she looked like a forty-seven year old spinster. When she resp

onded to a question saying she had never been married and never been kissed, the audience laughed some more. They didn’t expect much from this outcast. 

No one was prepared for what came next. She shocked everyone with her spectacular rendition of  ‘I Dreamed a Dream’. The audience was stunned and moved to tears. She’s become an overnight sensation, her video on You Tube being viewed over eleven million times.  

Susan Boyle is the reason you should never judge a book by its cover.  

We’re being bombarded with beautiful people on television, in movies, magazines and music videos.  As a result we’re being programmed to judge people based on their looks, leaving us feeling less than perfect and worse, inadequate.  

There’s much talk about racism and prejudice. Prejudice against Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and gays; but there is another kind of prejudice that occurs everyday, ‘Looksism’.  All of us witness it and sadly, many are guilty of it. 

Most are unaware they’re doing it. For example, how many times have you seen an obese person eating ice-cream and think to yourself or say to someone else, “No wonder they’re the size they are.” You cast judgment never knowing the medical or emotional issues that have caused them to be the size they are. Given a choice do you think they would choose to live that way or opt to live life as one of the beautiful people? 

Have you ever passed a teenager on the street who had piercings or tattoos, and you turned the other way, labeling them a freak? My son is the kindest most caring person you could ever know. He’s had a Mohawk cut; he’s shaved his head and dyed his long hair black. He has a tattoo and wants another. Nothing he does to alter his appearance on the outside will ever change the wonderful guy he is, but it will change how others perceive him and sadly the way he’s treated. 

I dated a guy who was shorter than me with a stocky build. I’m the girl who when asked to pick the sexiest man, named Ed Asner. (Remember, Mary Tyler Moore?)  My boyfriend was a kind, loving guy with an incredible sense of humour, which attracted me more than anything.  

One day we were walking hand in hand when two teenage girls passed by.  I heard one say, “What is she doing with him?”  It sickened me. She had no clue who he was, all that registered was he wasn’t the stereotypical tall, dark and handsome guy. I could have felt sorry for him, but I felt sorry for her. If she was going to go through life judging people by appearance alone, she was going to miss out on a lot of great people. And what if something happened to change her looks? What then?  Would it mean she didn’t deserve to be loved? 

Take a look around when you’re shopping or sitting in restaurants. Take notice of how clerks and waiters treat people differently. It’s annoying to say the least. I’ve seen clerks be cold to one customer and then ‘turn it on’ for others, based only on looks.  

This behaviour starts when we’re young. Think back to your childhood days in school. Bullies picked on the fat kids, skinny kids, the poor who couldn’t dress as well, kids that wore glasses or had big ears.  Bullying was almost always based on outward appearances.  

What can we do to stop this unspoken prejudice? A good place to start is in your own home. Teach your child there’s more to them and others than their looks. Focus on their talents and skills and the kind of person they are. Teach them to defend the underdog when bullying takes place.  

Lead by example. Don’t judge others. Embrace people for who they are. Who knows how many Susan Boyles slipped through the cracks because they appeared less than beautiful so their talents went unnoticed. Had Boyle looked like Angelina Jolie, she would have been discovered earlier and the world would have been enjoying her music all these years. 

So do yourself, and the world a favour, look beyond the  ‘looks’ next time you meet someone. Susan Boyle was a diamond in the rough waiting to be discovered, and there are millions just like her.  

See with your heart, not just your eyes, and be amazed at the wonderful people who come into your life.

Do you think Susan Boyle would compromise herself by just getting a new hairdo and her brows waxed?
I know Susan Boyle said she wants to stay natural but a few small changes like a new hair style and a brow wax wouldn't be a huge change……… What do you think?
