Slipknot's Corey Taylor Praises 'Incredible' Susan Boyle

Slipknot singer Corey Taylor has heaped praise on Britain's Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle saying she's “incredible”.

Taylor's unlikely admiration came when he saw the 48-year-old Scot's first audition for the talent show online.

He enthused: "Susan Boyle is incredible. Somebody told me about the show and I said, 'I have got to see this - I Dreamed A Dream, are you kidding me?' I put it on and she was fantastic. The people on that panel were in tears! When Susan leans into it she's great."

Asked about Boyle's reported mental meltdown, Taylor continued: "She's a little bit crazy, but aren't we all? Anyone who's worth their salt is a little bit bent out of shape," reports WENN.

Boyle of course is a huge global sensation after her audition Youtube clip picked up in excess of 100million views.
