Little Britain Star's Got Talent

It had to happen really. Little Britain's Matt Lucas has become the latest star to capitalise on the massive interest in Britain's Got Talent's Susan Boyle, by impersonating her for Heat magazine. I turned the page of The Mirror, caught the picture and laughed my a**e off. Funniest thing he's done for ages if you ask me...

However I'm convinced that years from now, we'll look back on the entire Susan Boyle phenomenon and ask ourselves, how did that happen?

It's not the first time people have happily clambered on the wave of a phenomenon and ridden it for all its worth. I've been there: I wore tight zip-leg stonewashed jeans in the 80s; I thought about nicking a VW badge off a car; I bought my sister a Cabbage Patch Doll; I answered my phone with 'waaasssssssup!' in the early noughties. But this Susan Boyle thing has totally passed me by. I'm watching it all with both amazement and bemusement.

Her Britain's Got Talent audition (I Dreamed A Dream from the musical Les Misèrables) is now one of YouTube's most popular videos ever. She has been featured on American news networks (no mean feat as our cousins over the sea rarely report on anything or anyone that doesn't directly affect them, aside from conflicts in the Middle East); US talkshow host Jay Leno has paid tribute to her by donning a wig and performing on his show; her celebrity fans include Demi Moore, her husband Ashton Kutcher and Jon Bon Jovi; she's been on Larry King Live and Oprah and an American fan has even made a Susan Boyle doll for sale... I kid you not.

Robbie Williams tried to crack America for years with no luck. But a 48-year-old virgin goes on a British talent show and easily trumps him. She is a bona fide global phenomenon. For now. Then again, so were A Flock of Seagulls and l never remember that I've forgotten them until E-Friends repeats the flashback episode with Chandler sporting a Flock of Seagulls haircut (The One With All The Thanksgivings).

What next for Susan Boyle? Maybe she'll do us all a favour and stand for Parliament.

Today I am mostly lovin' - Question Time. No less than 3.8 million viewers tuned in between 10.40pm and 11.40pm last Thursday to watch the audience vent their anger over the issue of expenses and our greedy, grasping, grubby MPs. It was splendid viewing - loved watching Labour's Margaret Beckett, Tory Theresa May and the Lib Dems' Sir Menzies Cambell squirm. Give 'em hell if you're in the audience this Thursday. As Citizen Smith memorably proclaimed: "Power to the people!"

Today I am mostly hatin' - Those Vodaphone 'If I Ruled The World' adverts are doing my head in.

	joyce abrama écrit : The new Torchwood is interesting and looks worth following the opener reminded me of The Midwitch Cuckoo tale by John Wyndham Joy 6 Juil.
	David Shawa écrit : Depends what you define by 'normal'. The word normal is highly subjective, what's normal for one isn't normal for the other. So I have an idea why don't you keep your little 'comments' about other peoples intelligence to yourself. 4 Juil.
	Aucun noma écrit : Su BO is not ready for this type of stardom, typified by her leg - show on losing the final. She"s a half wit, mentally deficient, and needs to get a normal life first. Lets all just leave her alone in W. Lothian! 30 Juin

	David Shawa écrit : "Plus lets face it - she's not actually that good" Is this in your 'expert' opinion? 23 Juin
	vicky adamsa écrit : some people really make me laugh,,,how can you be so nasty to someone that is doing something that they enjoy and as for her being a virgin that has nothing to do with the matter....it takes alot of guts to get up and sing on live t.v so people should appreciate it more instead of bein jelous that they have not done anything with their life....grow up and act like an adult..........vix 22 Juin
	Angelaa écrit : I think some of you should stop having a go at Susan Boyle and get yourselves back to school. I have never seen such bad spelling or English. What on earth is 'dat'. 'wud', 'wit' and so on. If half of you could spell as well as she can sing you would be doing alright. You show yourselves up by your lack of literacy yet you think you have the right to criticise a perfectly decent human being who just wants to sing. Leave her alone. 22 Juin

	deb -at Funkydabulous- john...a écrit : the writer above makes reference to Miss Boyle being a virgin. how offensive & irrelevant that is; the writer could have as easily mentioned that Miss Boyle is a 48 Year old Christian~ & what a good job she is one .It may help her to forgive the common & cheap insults & intrusions into her private life that have been targeted at her. as forthe allegation that she has no social skills, how many of her negative critics have had the ability or bottle to stand on any stage in front of millions of people , possessing naturally positive vocal capabilites & smile in the face of the envy that has often greeted her.Lastly, the majority of mental health patients, from our wide and long term experience possess extraordinary talents & capabilites & it is often the case that it is the persistaent under mining of their self confidence by the ignorant that holds them back from leading fuller & more productive lives. Take the planks out of your own eyes & remember, people in glass houses should not throw stones. your spitefulness towards that Lady says infinitely more about you in a moment that it will ever say about her in a lifetime. 18 Juin
	Dolapoa écrit : dis is so boring and so not funni 18 Juin
	Sharona écrit : Plus lets face it - she's not actually that good - its only because of how she comes across and how she looks that she got anywhere - the singer with the idiot (badly) arranging flowers sang better but because she looks 'normal' she didn't get anywhere. 17 Juin
	Sharona écrit : Well personally, and lets face it we are entitled to our personal opinion, I had a little snigger. If you put yourself out there into the limelight you have to expect some ribbing. What saddens me the most though is this is a very vulnerable lady who clearly has some mental health problems and no social skills. Some of her facial and body movements are inappropriate such as the thing she does with her tongue and the hip action she often does but she is unaware of this - fame and fortune are not what she needs and as her stint in the Priory just after the BGT fianls clearly shows she is not emotionally capable of handling it. 17 Juin
	billy dingwalla écrit : SORRY .PERSONALLY I FIND NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT' LITTLE BRITAIN ,' IF YOU LAUGHED YOUR A--- OFF KIDDO 'YOU' NEED A GOOD DOSE OF THERAPY, THE SUSAN BOYLE MOCK - UP ,IS RANK AND TASTELESS ,WHO 0N EARTH IS FORCING THIS EXCUSE FOR COMEDY ON US ? COME BACK BERNIE WINTERS ,ALL IS FORGIVEN! 17 Juin
	David Marpera écrit : I love all the wannabe Simon Cowells out there "Oh she's crap", Simon likes her, he is in the business so listen to him! Also i would love to hear all you wannabes go on live TV and recieve a standing ovation! Well Done Susan! 17 Juin
	David Shawa écrit : "However I'm convinced that years from now, we'll look back on the entire Susan Boyle phenomenon and ask ourselves, how did that happen?" Let me explain. We're going through a recession a lot of people were feeling down and it was quite an uplifting moment. Especially seeing a lot of those judgemental members of the audience having to swallow their earlier pre-conceptions about a woman they saw fit to judge before she got a chance to sing. 15 Juin
