Susan Boyle's popularity may count against her says Piers Morgan

Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan has cautioned that Susan Boyle might not win the contest because she is too popular.

The former newspaper editor wrote on his official blog that he was concerned that viewers may believe that Susan is certain to win and will not bother to register their vote.

He said: "Susan Boyle is still the one to beat, no question of that.

"But she's had such astonishing attention all over the world that it could possibly play against her, with people thinking she's got it in the bag so why bother spending the money to vote."

Morgan also said that he thought that the falsetto performance by Welshman Greg Pritchard on Saturday night's show was "extraordinary".

He added: "I absolutely loved Greg, the guy with the high-pitched woman's voice who sang Nessun Dorma.

"If this show is, at its heart, about variety, then they don't come more varied than him. It was one of the most extraordinary, bizarre things I've witnessed - a fully grown man crooning like Katherine Jenkins."

He added: "The live shows are going to be sensational this year. And I can't wait!
