Gossip: Susan Boyle
Susan Boyle once again wowed the judges at Britain’s Got Talent and advanced to the show’s final round.
Susan Boyle, the amateur singing sensation, wowed the judges at Britain’s Got Talent again this week and advanced to the show’s final round. Singing “Memory” from the musical Cats, Boyle—wearing a signature frumpy dress—started off nervously, hitting some bad notes, but her soaring voice won a standing ovation from the audiences and judges. “You are one special lady, I have to say,” said judge Simon Cowell. Half of all British TV viewers that night watched Boyle’s performance, which was again viewed millions of times on the Web.
