Susan Boyle: World Divided Over SuBo And Lady Susan

by | 23rd, November 2009

susan-boyle-album5SUSAN Boyle: On the forums a debate over who invented SuBo. As we know all Simon Cowell novelty acts must have a name that can fit easily into a text message: Jedward, Subo – even Simon Cowell’s company is called Syco. But who invented it?

Anorak reader Percy Stilton says it’s his gift to the nation. US reader Bob tells us:

SuBo is the name the British “Tabloids” gave to Susan. I will never use it in any of my comments. Most, if not ALL of Susan’s American Fans refer to Susan as “Lady Susan” and even on YouTube most of those that make comments on her Videos refer to Susan as “Lady Susan” also.

Lady Susan makes her sound like the landed gentry’s hostess trolley of choice and SuBo is reminiscent of the sound Japanese WWW2 soldiers made as they emerged suddenly from the jungle in the 1970s.

Join the heated debate.
