Lily Allen is not a Susan Boyle fan. Unfortunately for Susan, while she’s received a record amount of support thank to over 100 million YouTube hits, there’s been an inevitable backlash. Lots of people have complained about suffering from Susan Boyle fatigue. I’m a big champion of the underdog, so I could read about her all day. But I understand how people get tired of her – especially considering that Susan didn’t even give her second performance until Sunday! That’s six weeks in which we were all marveling over just one song.

I thought her version of “Memories” from Cats was fine, but the timing was a bit off in spots. It’s easily attributable to nerves. And frankly, Susan’s been so built up that we probably expected nothing short of shocking perfection from her. She did a great job. But Lily Allen doesn’t get what all the hype is about – and claims Susan’s gotten all of the attention because of her looks, not her talent.

Lily Allen doesn’t see what the big deal is about Susan Boyle.

Last weekend, the 48-year-old Scottish singer landed in the final round of Britain’s Got Talent after beating out seven other performers by belting out “Memory” from the musical Cats.

But Allen said (via Twitter), “I thought her timing was off on Britain’s Got Talent on Sunday – no control, and I don’t think she has an amazing voice.”

“She can sing,” Allen admitted, “but it’s not about talent with her, is it?”

Boyle “seems like a lovely lady but, if the show is about talent, then that Shaheen [Jafargholi] kid should win.”

The Britain’s Got Talent finale competition takes place this Saturday.

Lily Allen gets as much attention for criticizing others as she does for her own music. She wasn’t incredibly snarky – at least given some of the things she said about other celebs. She’s not a fan, and that’s okay. And I think her point about Boyle’s timing was fair. But Lily is a professional and sings all the time, whereas Susan Boyle probably doesn’t have the advantage of all the help and coaching Allen gets. Boyle’s talent is more raw, and given that, it’s reasonable to think she could beat just about any singer if given enough practice and coaching. I still bet she’ll win – not only does she have the requisite talent, but she’s got an endearing personality and has captured worldwide attention.

Since we’ve seen Susan’s performance, here’s another “Brittan’s Got Talent” semi-finalist dance group Flawless.
