I saw this on the news and now here is an article on this amazing story.
Singer knocks 'em dead on 'Britain's Got Talent' Simon Cowell sneered and the huge audience at "Britain's Got Talent" made the sort of faces associated with a bad smell.

I heard her voice! My word! the voice of an angel! Good for her to have the ovaries to do this. I am proud of this woman! Way ta go Susan!
And I hope she wins and has a makeover and becomes the cougar of the year!
So take that Simon!

I think they just found the anti-Hong.
Wasn't that the guy's name? Joseph Hong or some such. The guy that was so bad he was awesome!

She is very diverse. That sounded totally different in character than the first song I heard her sing. Very good. The voice of an angel!
Good for her! More power to her!
Thanks for posting that Richard. i really enjoyed it. Maybe she will bring back all those golden oldies.
peace

Ms. Boyle's performance made me tear up.
I wish her all the success she wants.
Probably watched the video 20 times by now. Too good.
