Elton John's Fears for Susan Boyle

Sir Elton John has fears for Susan Boyle that her fame will be short and soon gone. He thinks she is too emotional to handle the "rigorous way of show business."

Susan hit fame on TV show Britain's Got Talent last year. Her debut album, 'I Dreamed A Dream, broke records and was atop charts around the world.

'The Gift,' her second record, already tends to be another great hit after being at the top of pre-order lists. It will be released on November 9, 2910.

Sir Elton is determined that Susan Boyle will not be able to handle the demands of superstardom, noting that she was admitted to London clinic, The Priory, suffering from exhaustion after she finished second on the TV show. He tells Britain's Radio Times, "Susan Boyle was an endearing phenomenon, but I fear she might not understand the rigours of show business."

Susan Boyle's Teen Bullies - Have They Left a Mark?
Susan Boyle, in her new memoirs has told about the bullies who made her teenage years a hell to remember. Recently, the news has been full of teen-bullying connected suicides in America. Susan added to the celebrities raising awareness about victims plights when she appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show on Tuesday, October 19, 2010.

Telling about her school days in Scotland, that she writes in her autobiography, 'The Woman I Was Born to Be', Boyle told Winfrey "There was name calling, burning my clothes with a cigarette and trying to trip me up - stuff like that."

"It wasn't really human and I was being hit round the head and stuff like that. That hurt, but the most hurtful was the psychological things - name calling, repeated name calling... they were not very nice."
"It made me feel as if nobody loved me, that I didn't really matter - I was just a target. Once you give bullies that power, then they've got a hold on you."

Susan didn't always let her teen tormentors upset her: "I used to chase after them... I'm gonna get you!"
Susan also said she used her singing skills to win over the worst bullies.

Then Boyle told Oprah, "You do well in something and you try and gain the respect of someone and that's what I was trying to do with my singing."
