Susan Boyle Judge Irked By Ongoing Frenzy

Piers Morgan doesn't want his legacy summed up in a 7-minute YouTube clip.
“The phenomenon has got so insane I’ve got a horrible feeling that when I die the headlines are now going to read, ‘Judge in Susan Boyle video dies’," the Britain's Got Talent judge told the UK Sun.
Morgan was front and center for Boyle's April 11 breakthrough performance of Les Miserables song 'I Dreamed A Dream'. He green-lighted her advancement on the show with "the biggest yes he has ever given anyone."
Morgan added that he is equally surprised by the fervor surrounding the spinster sensation in the states.
“If you think Susan Boyle mania is out of control in Britain," he said, "you should try being in America, as I am at the moment. Every TV show, magazine, newspaper, and radio station is absolutely obsessed with her. Right now she is the hottest star in the US." Photo: (Splash News / Pacific Coast News)
