Fred O'Neil, a professional singer who taught Miss Boyle until she gave up lessons when her mother died, said that the Britain's Got Talent media machine could stifle her and was obscuring "the real person" he knew.

While he welcomed her phenomenal success, with tens of millions of fans viewing footage of her on performance on the internet, he warned that she might not have time to nurture her talent.
