Posted July 22 2009 By NeocoNice little article over at Guardian Media relating to the power of the social media starlet:
Susan Boyle: to appear on NBC’s The Today Show tonight. Photograph: NBCWho is the most powerful person in the free world? If you’re telling us it is US president Barack Obama, you would it wrong. It is, of course, Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle. When the White House told US TV networks to clear their schedules tonight for a live presidential address to the nation at 9pm, the powerful NBC network said no. The reason? It had an exclusive interview with Boyle for that night’s edition of America’s Got Talent. The White House swerved, and rescheduled Obama’s address at 8pm eastern time, which means many Californians will be commuting home and will not see it. Not that the White House will admit it, reports the Independent. “In speaking with various media outlets, we found that rescheduling for one hour earlier would help us to arrange for as many Americans as possible to hear directly from the president at the press conference.”
Susan 1 Barack 0.
Our office opinion is that she is still soooo over-rated. Her voice was not that great.
