How Do Susan Boyle And Simon Cowell Really Feel About Each Other?

Susan Boyle belted out a pitch-perfect rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” in the 2009 “Britain’s Got Talent” finale, but sadly, she was beaten by the dance group Diversity, per Billboard. Following the loss, she was devastated. Simon Cowell had recognized that Boyle was struggling with the pressure of competing and had tried to step in — but to no avail. “The lead up to the week of the final, we sat down with her and her friends. We said, ‘Look if it’s too stressful because it’s all over the media…'” he told “Lorraine” (via the Mirror). “She said it was fine. She’s going to do it.”

It proved too much, though, and her shock defeat resulted in Boyle spending time in a mental health facility. According to The Guardian, the singer checked in to The Priory Clinic after hotel staff became concerned for her wellbeing. “Following Saturday night’s show, Susan is exhausted and emotionally drained,” the “BGT” production company announced. “We offer her our ongoing support and wish her a speedy recovery.”

According to the Mirror, the British newspaper The Sunday People reported that Boyle was terrified Cowell would drop her. She allegedly accused him of neglecting her. However, she shot down the rumors. “I’ll always put my trust in Simon, he’s a genius,” Boyle told Event magazine (via the Mirror). She shared that Cowell had helped her select the songs for her new album, “A Wonderful World,” and insisted all the rumors of a rift were “totally untrue.”
