Susan Boyle's idol Elaine Paige has launched an astonishing attack on the Scottish songstress calling her ' a virus who has spread across the world in a nanosecond.'

"I don't particularly feel any pride for her - I'm sure she is proud of what she has done," Paige stated.

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

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

She said 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.”

Boyle performed with Paige at Christmas and was deeply moved by the experience.

Boyle said: “I never thought I would see myself standing on the same stage with such an icon from West End theatre, let alone singing with her as an equal.”

Why don't you do some real journalism about Irishmen doing some positive things, like Sean Penn busting his ass in Haiti, And all the other Irishmen over there trying to help out????? Susan Boyle and all the other Irishmen singing their hearts out trying to raise money? The Clinton's and Bush's trying to get it together to get the Haitians some money. Why don't you hop on a plane and show you can do some real reporting?

Oh, come on now, Elaine Page was misquoted. She was sour grapes, because she things the only way to the top is the way she did it. But She did not say Susan was a "virus" but the way she got to the top was "like" how a virus spreads on a computer. Come on IC get your facts straight.
