It seems no one is safe from Lily Allen's tongue-lashings – and now the singer has a few choice words for Susan Boyle: 'overrated' being one of them.

The Fear star took to Twitter to reveal her thoughts on Susan's semi-final performance, in which she sang Memory from the musical Cats.

Lily wrote: 'I thought her timing was off on Britain’s Got Talent on Saturday - no control, and I don’t think she has an amazing voice.

'She can sing, but it’s not about talent with her, is it?'

Allen had kinder words for 12-year-old singer Shaheen Jarfagholi, who, she said, is more talented than Susan.

'She seems like a lovely lady but, if the show is about talent, then that Shaheen kid should win.'

Susan defended her rocky start on Saturday by saying she had a cold.

'I said to myself, "Well, you’d better just pick yourself up and keep going"... the audience reaction was really stunning.'

The final of Britain's Got Talent will be aired in a live show this Saturday on ITV1.

Over-rated - she's a fine one to talk!

I'm not a huge fan of Lily Allen and I do think it would be better if she kept her mouth shut more often but I do agree with her about Susan Boyle. I think she is overrated - her voice and talent have been blown out of proportion because of her appearance and character, which both led everyone to believe that she was going to be a screeching banshee. She has a good voice but she really isn't that fantastic.

And Lily Allen has talent? Don't think so. She's not exactly a model member of society herself...
