Susan Boyle Loses ‘America’s Got Talent’!
Susan Boyle did not win ‘Britain’s Got Talent’! I don’t even watch this show faithfully, but I thought she was a shoe in. Susan has receive so much attention in the last few weeks for being the ‘plain Jane’ contestant with the amazing voice that shocked everyone that hear it. I also thought that Adam Lambert would win ‘American Idol’ an we know how that turned out. Susan sang ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ from ‘Les Meserables’. She did a wonderful job, because her voice is so strong that she can sing the phone book if that is what she wanted to do. However, this song choice was her audition song that initially captured so many fans for her and also spawned a much needed makeover for Susan as people became more and more intrigued by her. Unless it is requested by the Judges for the contestants to pick a favorite song, I prefer that the contestants pick something that we haven’t hear before to let us really get a feel for their range as a performer.
Susan received a standing ovation from the audience and the Judges were moved as well:
Despite the loss, judge Simon Cowell said Boyle has “come out of this very well. We’ve never had a runner-up like Susan Boyle before. She’s won over a lot of fans tonight through her graciousness. She’s a really sweet person. She has a massive future ahead of her.”
That to me was THE greatest performance I’ve seen in Britain’s Got Talent history… you should win. I loved it,” judge Piers Morgan told Boyle as she walked away.
Judge Amanda Holden was almost brought to tears. “You did it girl, you did it for Scotland,” she said. “Can I just say, Simon had a tear in his eye.”
I am more than a little curious to see what is next for Susan and I wish her luck. Oh and if you were interested….’Diversity’ an all Male Dance Troup won the Contest, the $160,000 and they will perform at the Royal Variety Performance in front of the Queen.
