Happy Birthday Susan Boyle! Singer is spoiled rotten as she turns 49

What ever happened to researched reporting??? Mistakes in this article, evidently copied from other papers who copied them from other papers etc etc 1 Pebbles lives in London with an older lady who has other cats. Susan thinks more of the cat's welfare since she is traveling or recording and can't care for her properly. She visits, though. ( resorse : Susan Boyle in Dutch interview) The fans were not flown in but came on their own and paid their own way. There were 16 and had told Susan's Management team they would be there and SUSAN invited them for cake and tea on the 48th floor, not the penthouse, and spent a hour visiting with them BEFORE THE CONCERT. Everybody had a ball and there were NO TEARS. No champagne or food, just cake ( really beautiful and yummy ) and tea. If there was a party after the Concert, I did not hear of that but one of the fans did not make it to the meet up because her flight was canceled but made it to the concert and Susan talked to her on the phone and invited her backstage after the concert. She sang to 8,ooo ( sold out ) and standing ovations and was presented with flowers and the orchestra played and the audience sang Happy Birthday. She is in Japan as a guest of the Symphony Orchestra for this one performance. no tour. If you want eyewitness facts go to her website or to the one the fans belong to ( along with over 52,000 others ) susan-boyle.com and just ask anyone on the forum. I believe your boss is a member, yes Nial? Since becoming a Susan fan, I have realized that you can't believe anything in print anymore. Even so called main stream and "respected" papers. Sad.

A DESERVED BIRTHDAY FOR THE AGES!!! ... and standing ovations and a call for an encore that underscored the HONOR AND RESPECT to which Lady Susan is entitled to!! JAPAN treated her like the NATIONAL (no, WORLD) TREASURE she is! Take notice, all TROLLS AND JEALOUS, GREEN-EYED MONSTERS, LADY SUSAN BOYLE is here to stay!!!

Oh and the crowd was 10,000 -- not 1,000 -- and she sang AFTER the birthday party; not before.

Thanks to CanadianBill and stevieboy for setting the record straight here. I happen to also be familiar with this group of fans who went to Japan and they were certainly not "flown in" for the party. They each paid their own way and flew to Japan out of genuine love for the lovely Susan. One fan even flew from Australia to Japan in advance to buy tickets because they could only be purchased in Japan. And two sweet Japanese ladies very graciously welcomed the group to Japan and helped handle all the arrangements on that end. Susan did not have a typical celebrity bash; this was a wonderful celebration enjoyed by her and her fans. Wish I could have been there. Congratulations and happy birthday to Susan.

You Go Girl and Blessings to You.

Amy, congratulations, you spelled her name correctly!

"most best"???

1/10 again Antoinette. Seems the bracelet part was correct. You could do so much better than this - with just a little effort!

...and to add to Bill's correction, the party of fans took place before the Buddokan Concert, not after it! By all accounts, the concert was a smashing success with Susan performing four songs and an encore of her signature song, '"I dreamed A Dream." Happy Birthday Susan! Enjoy your success, for you have proved indeed that "dreams do NOT have an expiry date."

CORRECTION! Susan's Fans from countries around the world were NOT 'flown in'. Each and every one of them paid their own way and chose to go. Two Fans who live in Japan were very helpful to all the others in making arrangements. The Birthday Party was a blast, judging from photos I've seen. And Susan Boyle deserves it. Happy Birthday Susan!

Susan wasn't "spoiled rotten," she was given her due. Finally. Being showered with love from her fans and gifts from her boss is what she deserved after working so hard for so many years to become a success. Also, the audience for her performance was 10,000 people, not 1,000.
