Just hearing about the stories of families being separated, and not being able to keep in touch with one another reminded me of my experience during Hurricane Katrina. I have plenty of family in New Orleans, so I could relate to the anxious feelings felt by families who could not contact loved ones. I can remember one bad weather day while away at college. My father called. A few years back, I experienced a minor earthquake in my hometown, but that minor ground shake was no comparison to Haiti’s catastrophe!

Besides the fact this writer seems to be missing is that Susan is going to be a PART of the Hope for Haiti project plus anyone would have to be a "monster" to begrudge any assistance given for Haiti, which Susan is not. Besides the fact that millions of SusaFans...self included... would buy Susan's CDs if she sang "Farmer in the Dell" :) As long as I am alive, Susan's music will sell. :) Even if you were correct about Susan's fame being over… which you are not… she still has already achieved more in the two months her CD has been out than most artists achieve in a lifetime, breaking records all over the world, not to mention amassing a fortune in the process, even though it is quite apparent that is not her motivation.

So if an recording intended to help Haiti--a cause clearly dear to the hearts of many--outsells Susan Boyle's CD, you project her as being extremely upset personally, and as effectively "jilted" by the public. And yet what evidence do you have that she would not wish the Haiti album to do as well as it possibly can? And in what way could success for this album possibly be construed as a rejection of her? Is the only way Susan Boyle can be regarded as successful for her to continue to stay number one to the end of time--that any slip indicates that the public is turning their backs on her? I would have thought 10 million albums sold and counting was indication enough that she is much beloved by many. And Lily--15 minutes? You make me laugh! This is just snide.

Susan stayed #1 for an unprecedented 6 weeks and sold over 700,000 the first week with very little publicity, and had the best selling alubm in the WORLD in just 6 weeks.
No need to make it sound as if she hasn't done extremely well.
