Osbourne apologizes for insulting Boyle

LONDON (UPI) -- British television personality Sharon Osbourne has apologized via Twitter for saying singer Susan Boyle is a lovely lady who had been hit by the ugly stick.

Boyle was a finalist on "Britain's Got Talent," whose heartwarming rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" became an Internet sensation last spring.

Osbourne joked about the 47-year-old singer's dowdy appearance this month in an interview on Sirius XM Radio, then apologized for her remarks in a Twitter posting, the BBC said.

"Susan Boyle is a lovely gracious woman and I took advantage of that by poking fun at her," Osbourne said.

"I would never want to be responsible for hurting Susan and I must apologize for getting a cheap laugh at her expense."

I should think she damn well SHOULS apologise too but NOT just on Twitter, she should have been made to do it publicly for, as Rita ( above ) has said, this Mrs Osbourne would look NOTHING like she does now had it NOT been for all the surgery she has had done!! Anyone ever seen a photo of her taken many years ago?.....I have!! A frumpy, fat, dowdy jewess!! NO OFFENCE to any Jewish ladies either as I'm only referring to Sharon Osbourne!!.

Osborne - Boyle fiasco

Susan is a lady with lots of talent. If all you go on is looks, then I am sorry for your little little mind. When I first saw her sing the first thing that crossed my mind was WOW what a beautiful voice. As for those who find fault shut your mouths unless you can say soemthing worth saying. Susan, God Bless you for having such a beautiful voice and keep up the good work.

Tsk, tsk

Why is it that looks always seem to take priority over talent? What a superficial, shallow group we humans are. Susan Boyle has talent that Sharon Osbourne can only wish she had. Without Ozzie no one would ever have heard of her.
