As a singer myself I knew exactly the sensation of starting out and finding that an unusually large effort was being required and getting a 'flutter' in the solar plexus area because of it.

As all the contenders had waited in the studios all day it is really not surprising that the singers were not in good voice.

It is very difficult to recover from a bad start - as Jamie Pugh demonstrated - but Susan managed it, particularly after the pause in the song. I suspect it is because she knows that she doesn't need to do any more than she has already achieved - the media and others are already spreading stories about her which do seem to be entirely out of character - that in itself indicates that she has achieved celebrity status.
