Michelle McManus Mania Silences Critics

The Glasgow Daily Record reports ‘Pop Idol’ champ Michelle McManus endured a 14-hour whistlestop tour of her native Scotland, signing copies of her new album, ‘The Meaning Of Love’, at HMV stores in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow. “It’s been bonkers,” the plus-sized singer admitted. “It takes me back to comments made byone of the show’s judges who said I’d never be a ‘Pop Idol’. I was surrounded by screaming kids and I am a ‘Pop Idol’ in their eyes.”
