Susan Boyle's 2nd Performance May 24, 2009

Susan Boyle's 2nd performance on Britain's Got Talent officially advanced the Scottish sensation to the Finals on the May 24, 2009 episode of "Britain's Got Talent". In the following YouTube video, Susan Boyle once again delivers with her singing talents as she croons the Broadway classic "Memories" from Cats. Although she began the song flat and possibly a bit shaken, she loosened up as the song continued and began to show her talents to the judges, audience and world once again.



After her song had ended Susan said she felt "fantastic" having finally had the chance to sing yet again after all the hype. Susan also said she's enjoyed every second and would do it over again. Judge Piers Morgan said while the world's been suffering some tough times, along came Susan Boyle as an inspiration. Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell also gave praise to Ms. Boyle, with Cowell apologizing to her for how she was treated prior to her first time on stage. Cowell said Boyle made him "look stupid" with her original performance, due to his harsh treatment.

According to a recent interview by "Britain's Got Talent" judge Amanda Holden, Boyle's success may not be a continued phenomenon. That's not to say she's a flash in the pan, just that as Holden puts it, we tend to build people up to fame and spit them out very quickly. Holden says Boyle can't delay releasing an album once she is done with the reality show, because it will need to immediately be put out while she's still fresh in the mind and still considered a super singing sensation.

Stay tuned, Ms. Boyle's yet to win the contest, but has plenty of fanfare still in her favor on the world wide web!

Susan Boyle Scam - Is She a Fraud?

Recent singing sensation Susan Boyle has recently been called out by several websites and other people who are saying Susan Boyle's a scam, a fraud. If you first saw her singing on Britain's Got Talent, she was laughed and made faces at by the crowd and even the various people on the panel of judges. She had a quirky way about her, and unfortunately by many standards, she didn't quite have the diva-singer looks needed to take off in the business today. However, despite all that she belted out a moving rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables, and shocked the Britain's Got Talent judges, audience and the rest of the world. The YouTube video has now received millions of views.

But was Susan's amazing performance and shocking appearance on Britain's Got Talent really a scam? Was it all too good too be true, and staged for the show? The website Paddy Power from Boyle's native Ireland is suspicious:

Cynics among us will suggest there was something fishy about Susan Boyle's appearance on Britain's Got Talent - and we don't mean her body odour. Some have implicated that her doughty appearance and simple lifestyle were exaggerated to increase the impact of her majestic voice. With Ant and Dec involved, we bet the price of a phone call that it was. Some 30 million YouTube hits later, the Scottish beauty and 48 year old virgin has a world audience and is to go on a date with Piers Morgan. Morgan said Boyle had "great appeal and charm" and invited her out as both were interviewed on American talk show Larry King Live. Cherries for desert? Is backing Boyle to top the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart in 2009 @ 2/1 virgin on the ridiculous?

The New York Post also recently had an article with the title Why is No One Suspicious of Susan Boyle? in which they also question the whole saga's credibility:

There is the clip itself, suspiciously ready-made for online consumption: A 7-minute movie, slick and pithy in its perfect execution of the underdog narrative. (That something like "Rocky" took two hours to tell now seems antediluvian.) There is the classic David vs. Goliath subplot, the primal satisfaction of seeing the bully (Cowell) slain by such a seemingly inferior force. And there is the profound desire for this entire thing to be authentic, which in and of itself suggests that it probably isn't. Not since P.T. Barnum has there been a show business master of the trompe l'oeil like Simon Cowell.

So is Miss Boyle really a scam artist? Is this all really just Simon Cowell playing a great big Punk'd trick on the cruel world? Until any evidence of a Susan Boyle scam is revealed, her performance and story continue to captivate the world. Stay tuned for more news on Susan Boyle and her amazing story!

Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream"

Back on April 11, 2009, a woman named Susan Boyle made her leap into the spotlight with one of the most shocking and amazing singing performances given. Her appearance on "Britain's Got Talent" truly surprised the judges, audience and world as she boldly sang "I Dreamed a Dream" which is from the popular Broadway show Les Miserables. Susan's story has a sort of judgemental tone to it, showing how people tend to view books by their cover but that a singer's song which comes from within shows how deep beauty truly runs. Susan is now in the spotlight and receiving offers for makeovers, but hasn't changed herself too much. She has a dream of being the next Ellen Page, and singing for the Queen one day.

Here is Susan Boyle's initial appearance on "Britain's Got Talent" when she sang "I Dreamed a Dream". Pay special attention to the faces of the crowd and judges before she even sings a note, and then how things have changed once her beautiful voice emerges. Cynical judge Simon Cowell in particular is truly shocked and embarassed by how he judged the poor woman, only to end up with egg all over his face.
