Susan Boyle Breezed Into "Britain's Got Talent" Finals
Singing sensation Susan Boyle breezed through to the finals of the television show "Britain's Got Talent" after the audience on Sunday voted her semi-finals performance the best of the night.
Her performance of "Memory" from the musical "Cats" earned her a standing ovation and a spot in next Saturday's finale.
The 47-year-old from Scotland wiggled her hips in a little jig when she heard the results.
To be frank, I have little interest in reality shows like Britain's Got Talent or American Idol. I only got to watching Susan Boyle on YouTube because so many of my friends were talking about her during lunch - how fantastic her voice is, how ugly she is, how she finally wins over the critics.
Blah, blah, blah. I still wasn't moved until I read that this UN Chief made a special mention of her. So I really have to find out what the hullabaloo is about.
Well, good thing I tuned in to watch her rendition of "Cry Me A River." It really brought tears to my eyes. Susan Boyle has the voice of an angel. This is a triumph of the underdogs.
People look down and dismiss her for her looks, but yet she prevailed against all odds with her voice. This time round, I am not surprised she won. Even a harsh critic like Simon Crowe is suitably impressed.
Hmm, no way will I miss the finals. I am hooked on this show. By the way, who do you guys think will win the finals?
