To the surprise of no one on Earth, Susan Boyle was among the 40 acts put through to the live semi-finals on Britain’s Got Talent this evening. Then again, so was this guy:
There seems to be a certain laxness on the part of the judges across the pond, with Simon Cowell much more of a pushover for a novelty act. He called 73 year-old break-dancer Fred Bowers “absolutely brilliant.” Is this absolutely brilliant?:
Oh, well, tomorrow night, the show goes live. Susan Boyle will make her return.
SUNDAY UPDATE: Susan Boyle advances to the next round; see her performance of “Memory” from “Cats”
Looks like Boyle is on her way to a title. Hopefully she stays on track though.

It was so frustrating watching tonight!!! They let some really crap acts through… darth vader, really? nick hell? URGH
Amanda Holden is a really nice person but she is too mcuh of a softie and pushover for random novelty acts. I mean no one wants to watch some fat guy belly dance, or watch someone pierce themselves. That wasn’t entertaining it was cringeworthy.
I think Boyle will win, they will lose too many ratings if they kick her off. http://www.datingcutesingles.com/
Susan Boyle is completely over-rated. I find it immeasurably shallow that she is getting so much praise simply because she is not attractive and has a decent voice. What is the message that people are trying to put out? That if you are not good-looking, you can’t sing? If Boyle did not look like she did, she would be set aside as somebody with a decent Broadway voice and nothing more. She can sing, but she is not fantastic. And everybody would believe that if she were attractive. How sad that there are people in this world who are so surprised that somebody like Susan Boyle has a decent voice. But chills? She NEVER gave me chills with her “I Dreamed a Dream” performance.
Your commentary reflects more on you than Susan Boyle’s fans, Bailey. But of course you will never be able to see that point from that platform you’re on.
Whoa. I meant absolutely no offense. Ignore that comment completely. Sorry.
I love Susan but……….how did her eyebrows grow back and her hair return to gray??? Or was this taped from before???
I could of closed my eyes while listening to Susan sing and again
I would of had “chills”!!! I think she is great..
I have played her video so many times. This is a voice that should have been found sooner. This kind of music is wonderful. All the screeming and yelling with the young people gets old fast. Bring back music like Nat King Cole, Perry Como, Bing Crosby etc. There are still a lot of people who like that music.
Susan Boyle is an example of the blessings that GOD bestows, all in his good time. I pray she wins it all and reaps the benefits of success.
As a music producer and a someone who specializes in vocals, Susan Boyle has a fantastic voice. Unfortunately, if you are not great looking, especially these days, you don’t get much of a chance. What a shame! So many talented artists never make it because of how shallow we are! I can think Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole. Not the best looking of singers, but in my professional opinion, two of the best American singers of all time.

Let me add one other thing.Isn’t amazing to watch the instantaneous transformation of a crowd of judgemental, snobish people change when their souls are touched.
I love her – she is on my bookmark and I listen to her every night – looking forward to hearing her tomorrow, even though we are 5 hours apart (I am in Canada) I will be logging in to watch – way to go Susie.
