Elaine Paige Takes Yet Another Dig at SuBo…

Outspoken musical theatre veteran, Elaine Paige has once again taken an enormous dig at Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle and contestants alike for becoming overnight successes far too quickly.
Subo’s idol Elaine was her inspiration from the very first audition for Britain’s Got Talent.
Paige said on BBC Breakfast in the UK this morning: “With reality television things are very different.
Expressing that the show doesn’t allow new artists to learn as they rise through the ranks, Elaine said: “What I worry about for them is that it’s a fast track having to learn everything so quickly. They have to learn it in 16 weeks with all that pressure on them.”
Ok that’s a fair point Elaine, but there’s no need to single out poor old SuBo!
Susan sang duet ‘I Know Him So Well’ with Paige last year in a special show hosted by Piers Morgan about the reality TV star’s meteoric rise to fame.
Scottish born Susan recently received a paycheck of £4million after her debut album sold more than 8.5million copies since its release last year. Not bad for someone who was a complete nobody just a year ago, wouldn’t you agree Elaine?!
Referring to the extent of SuBo’s talent, Paige cheekily added: “She’s got a nice voice – a simple, straightforward voice.”
Ouch… I look forward to SuBo’s response on this one, Elaine sweetie, the gloves are off!
