Move over Amy Winehouse, singing sensation Susan Boyle has been taken to a private clinic suffering from exhaustion following her shock defeat in the final of "Britain's Got Talent," British media reported Monday. TalkbackThames, the television company which makes the hit series, said the 48-year-old had been left "exhausted and emotionally drained" after Saturday's show in which she was beaten by dance act Diversity."Susan has been seen by her private GP (general practitioner), who supports her decision to take a few days out for rest and recovery. We offer her our ongoing support and wish her a speedy recovery," TalkbackThames said in a statement.
Boyle, from Blackburn in Scotland, stunned viewers when she first stepped up to the microphone on "Britain's Got Talent six weeks ago with her audition performance of "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical "Les Miserables" quickly became one of the most watched videos on YouTube.
But Saturday's final ended in disappointment for Boyle who wowed the crowd with an encore performance of the song that first made her so famous -- earning a standing ovation from the crowd and judges.
"You had the nerve to come back here tonight, face your critics and beat them," judge Simon Cowell told her. "You did it."
