SuBo's set to top the charts, but her erratic behaviour hasn't entirely gone
Friday, 27 November 2009
With her album poised to take the world by storm and an appearance on The X Factor last weekend, Susan Boyle seems to be living the finalists' dreams.
But after reports of erratic behaviour and a stalker turning up at her home last week, the Scottish singer is paying a price for fame on both sides of the Atlantic.
Susan, 48, was admitted to The Priory for exhaustion after becoming an overnight sensation on Britain's Got Talent earlier this year, saying her rise to stardom hit her like ‘a giant demolition ball'.
An insider at her recent performance on US show Dancing With The Stars says the signs are still there that she's struggling with fame.
‘She had to be supervised and more or less led to the stage with the mic put in front of her,' says the source.
‘She's bemused by her status and didn't seem sure what was going on, even though she's had time to get used to it.'
That performance was followed by an increase in security after a stalker turned up at the singer's West Lothian home.
The middle-aged American woman had become obsessed with Susan and left her ‘shaken' after arriving on her doorstep. The woman was intercepted by a bodyguard.

Many, many people talked about Susan's appearance on DWTS afterword - including the studio audience that watched it. She wasn't confused and certainly didn't need to be led. She was told where her mark was - that's it. She seemed "bemused." I'm sure she did. This was her first time singing on a non-Got Talent related show - and she had to work with dancers for the first time, at the same time. Of course, she needed to be supervised. For gosh sake. The audience and crew and celebrity dancers LOVED Susan - both her performance and her personality. They said she was very professional and easy to work with. Why publish anonymous sources when there are many on the record?
