Whether it was because of her popularity dropping or because she sincerely believes her comments were taken out of contetx, Elaine Paige has apologized to Susan Boyle saying that she never inteded to talk the popular singer down, but the way she wast taken to worldwide stardom by the Britain’s Got Talet show producers. One way or the other, she says she does admire Susan Boyle very much and hopes the singer can forgive her.

In declarations made to the Daily Mail last night Elaine Paige says:

‘I wasn’t referring to Susan herself; I was referring to the speed of her fame spreading as fast as a worldwide viral marketing campaign.’

‘I am a huge supporter of Susan Boyle and admire what she has achieved.

And then she talks about her own experience when she became famous overnight due to the success of Evita

‘I have always said it’s very hard for someone to be fast-tracked to stardom without any prior experience – I know this as it happened to me when ‘Evita’ opened and I found it extremely difficult in the beginning.

‘Today, of course, it’s much harder with the phenomenon of the internet – Facebook, YouTube etc – it seems it only takes minutes for fame to spread around the world – and that’s why I used the word ‘virus’!

Susan Boyle’s CD has sold a whooping figure of 8 million worldwide, setting records around the world and being one of the best selling female albums in the last years, a moving story of a struggling lady that fought for her dream until it became true that has touched millions around the world, especially the American public, where Susan’s Popularity doesn’t seem to wane.

In what will be seen from the general public as a direct attack on Susan Boyle, Elaine Page wasted no time dismissing Susan’s credibility and value as an artist. Literally Elaine compared Susan to a virus that spreads very quickly.

Elaine who a couple of months ago shared stage with her most famous fan singing a duet of “I Know Him so Well” realizing one of Susan’s dreams of singing with her most admired artist. Where Susan was naive enough to say during her audition that she would like to be as famous as Elaine Page one day, Elaine has discarded her fan saying that she doesn’t particularly feel any pride for her.

Perhaps encouraged by Susan Boyle’s omission at the Brit Awards nominations Elaine spoke her mind openly

“I don’t particularly feel any pride for her – I’m sure she is proud of what she has done.

“It’s all about turning someone into an immediate celebrity at the expense of longevity and working hard and experience.

Elaine should remember perhaps that even though she was a household respected celebrity in Britain she was virtually unknown to the rest of the world before Susan’s extremely popular audition.

“Susan Boyle is doing terribly well considering she literally came to the attention of the world overnight with the advent of YouTube.”

She also added to the Daily Mail:

“She was like a virus really that spread across the world in a nanosecond.

“She is a girl with no experience of anything to do with theatrics, the music business, or art in any way.

“She has done terribly well to be a major star overnight with YouTube.”

When asked if she thinks Susan will stay as a successful artist rather than an overnight sensation Elaine is quickly to respond in a patronizing tone:

“That’s a good question. She is a major star because of YouTube. Longevity is gained through knowledge, experience and effort so it will remain to be seen.

“‘When I started, YouTube didn’t exist but even then with 15 years of experience prior to my success with Evita it was difficult, so I admire the way she handled her sudden success.

“Britain’s Got Talent and The X Factor just take a bunch of people from real life who think they can sing and try and turn them into overnight “stars” with a couple of songs.

“Ha ha. It’s not entertainment.”

Perhaps Elaine should know better and realize that that’s exactly entertainment, exposure to the public and word of mouth. There are countless of artist more talented than Elaine that have never been as successful because unlike her they were never given a chance.

But what’s the truth behind this year’s arguably most prestigious British Music Awards? is Susan being blacklisted by the industry because she is just not as cool as Lily Allen, Lady Gaga or other artist remembered in this year’s Brit awards?

The truth is a bit more simple than that really , in spite of all the media speculation about the Brit awards ignoring the popular singer, conspiracies against Simon Cowell and stories about how she is being bullied yet again.

One of the first words of the video that made Susan famous was that she wanted to be like Elaine Page and as of she was telling her wish to genie a few days lates she was as famous or more than Elaine Page and a few months down the line Susan and Elaine sang together in a TV special dedicated to Susan Boyle.

“I can’t believe I have just sung on a stage with Elaine Paige – she is an icon of the stage. I know I don’t have the years behind me that she has had but I sang with her as an equal. That is something I never thought I would do.”

-says Susan in her dressing room after singing her duet with Elaine.
