"Susan Boyle has surprised locals by enjoying a spot of karaoke at her nearby pub. The 51-year-old &amp;#039;Wild Horses&amp;#039; singer took to the microphone at the Tartan Arms in Bannockburn, Scotland.  According to STV, one onlooker said: &amp;quot;She was really lovely and very down to earth. &amp;quot;Susan arrived with two friends and was only too happy to pose for pictures with fans.&amp;quot; Boyle reportedly wore a green, glittery cardigan and performed two songs, including Patsy Cline&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Crazy&amp;#039;. The website also quotes Boyle as speaking about the positive impact that singing and performing has had on her life.  Boyle said: &amp;quot;Singing removed me from the life I was living and I could become someone totally different, untouchable. &amp;quot;Instead of laughing at me people would applaud me and be positive, that&amp;#039;s why I took such comfort in the early days when I was on stage - be it in the local theatre or just singing in my local pub. It made me feel better about myself.&amp;quot; The Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent runner-up caused a storm on Twitter last month when a hashtag supposedly promoting Boyle&amp;#039;s album was misconstrued. The hashtag #susanalbumparty, celebrating the album Standing Ovation: The Greatest Songs from the Stage, was misread by many as &amp;quot;Su&amp;#039;s Anal Bum Party&amp;quot;.
