It would appear heatworld aren't the only ones feeling sorry for Susan Boyle this morning. Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan (or Piersy baby, as we now like to call him) has just written a furious blog in defence of the star – and he sounds really angry. "Let me tell you now, there is a downside to fame. People start criticising you, sniping at you, trying to trip you up, belittle you, harass you. The pressure from sudden global success can be enormous," he writes. "Then imagine, too, having all this go on when you are days away from the final of a competition that can make or break your career and your life. A competition that everyone expects you to win, a fact that in itself piles on even more pressure. This is exactly the situation that Susan Boyle now finds herself in. And my heart absolutely bleeds for the poor woman." Piers goes on to slam the "incredibly bitchy" comments being made about Su-Bo on various websites, writing, "I’ve read the comments exploding all over various websites about her behaviour. And you know what? It made me very, very angry. Susan is finding it very, very difficult to cope, and to stay calm. She has been in tears many times during the last few days, and even, fleetingly, felt like quitting the show altogether at one point and fleeing all the attention. She’s had to read stories and columns, and listen to radio and TV phone-ins, calling her arrogant, insincere, spoiled, fake, mad and so on. I am calling today for everyone to just give her a break. She is two days away from the biggest day of her life, and all she wants to do is sing well for everyone and hopefully try and win." Wow. That's one angry man. We must say we admire Piers for doing this, and we can totally see how hard it must be for poor Su-Bo. To read Piers' blog in full, you can click here.
