Susan Boyle lost out to a dance troupe, Diversity and although she smiled a graciously congratulated them, the news today that she has been hospitalized over the stress of it all suffering from an emotional breakdown.

The Sun reports, “The singer, dubbed SuBo, had an ”˜emotional breakdown’ following Saturday’s final in which she was runner-up.”

Staffers from the show called paramedics after they noticed Boyle acting strangely. The Sun says, "Paramedics helped the "spaced-out" star through the lobby and into an ambulance just after 6pm. A Met Police Inspector and a police doctor were called to assist. The ambulance, tailed by a police car, then took her to the Priory in Southgate, North London."

Judge Piers Morgan said, "Obviously we're concerned about Susan at the moment. I spoke to her yesterday and she's absolutely exhausted and just needs a good break. She's physically, mentally and emotionally drained. She'd been getting pressure from all over the world. I'm not sure what happened after the result was announced on Saturday. She was getting agitated about the amount of attention she was getting."
