Lily Allen: 'I'm not alone on Boyle'

Lily Allen has said that she is not the only person who is underwhelmed by Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle.

The singer called the finalist on the ITV show overrated in a previous Twitter post, which led judge Piers Morgan to suggest that she was jealous of Boyle's success.

When asked who she was by one follower, Allen responded: "A member of the television viewing public."

She added: "It seems I made it on to ITV news this evening. Funny that the BBC and Channel 4 didn't seem to pick up on my tweets.

"It also seems that I am not alone in my SUBO views. I'd say 90% of you are agreeing with me. And by the way, overrated is not the same as bad."

When another follower asked her what overrated meant, she retorted: "Google it. My comments come up third after the dictionary entries. So ridiculous."

Allen added that she was "in tears" watching the "amazing" performance of 12-year-old Britain's Got Talent singer Shaheen Jafargholi on YouTube.
