"Barry Manilow has offered Susan Boyle advice about dealing with fame. According to The Mirror, Manilow urged the Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent runner-up to keep her family and friends around her. &amp;quot;With Susan Boyle, fame hit her so hard that it kind of knocked her off her feet,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;When she appeared on Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent, it was very moving to see what she could do.  &amp;quot;I think she&amp;#039;s a good singer, and everyone&amp;#039;s very curious to see how far she can go, but speaking from my own personal experiences, I hope she keeps her old friends and family around her.&amp;quot; Manilow explained that people close to him had helped him stay &amp;quot;grounded&amp;quot; and added: &amp;quot;Success can be harder to cope with than failure... There&amp;#039;s no school that teaches you how to handle it all.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Boyle &amp;#039;living apart&amp;#039; from pet cat Pebbles "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
