Susan Boyle to Sing at the Royal Variety Performance
It has been reported that Susan Boyle will finally get to sing at the Royal Variety Performance. You may recall that singing at the Royal Variety Performance was part of the prize, had Susan won Britain’s Got Talent in 2009.

Now, no direspect to Diversity as they are a group of very talented dancers, but I think that Her Majesty would rather have watched Susan Boyle sing than Diversity dance.
So this year, Susan will be singing her new single “Perfect Day” and this year’s Britain’s Got Talent winners, Spelbound (sic), will also be performing their amazing acrobatic combinations.
Other guests who will be performing at the star studded event include Kylie Minogue, Take That, Cheryl Cole, Adele, Jamie Cullum, Ray Davies, N-Dubz, John Bishop, Sarah Millican, Michael McIntyre, Jack Whitehall, Micky Flanagan, Russell Watson, The Chelsea Pensioners, The cast of Les Miserables,? The cast of Wizard Of Oz and Daniel Whiston.
