Susan Boyle

Posts Tagged ‘final’

It has been estimated that around 16 million people in the UK tuned in to watch Susan Boyle in the Britain’s Got Talent final, according to a report today in the Daily Mirror.

The bookmakers all breathed a sigh of relief that Susan did not win, as they would have lost thousands of pounds – Susan was the clear bookies’ favourite all along. One lady from Torquay, Devon placed a bet of £7000 that Susan Boyle would win – I would imagine she is not very happy right now.

Around 4 million viewers voted and the results were as follows:

1. Diversity with 996,000 votes – just under 25% of the total votes
2. Susan Boyle with 808,000 – around 20% of the total votes

3. Saxophonist Julian Smith with 656,000 – around 16% of the total  votes

Susan Boyle has come second in the Britain’s Got Talent final. The results have just been announced live on ITV. In third place was saxophinist Julian Smith, in second place Susan Boyle and in first place were the dance troupe Diversity.

Susan Boyle put on an amazing performance and I’m sure she will have a fantastic career in front of her. Nevertheless, Diversity put on one of the finest dance displays that I have ever seen, and certainly their choreographer is a genius.

Having said that, I still wanted Susan to win and I thought that she would win – well, this is a Susan Boyle fan site after all – but nevertheless, I saw the expression on Susan’s face when the results were announced, and I definitely saw relief there – relief that perhaps now the pressure would be off her.

Susan warmly congratulated Diversity with grace and dignity, saying that “the best people won” and she wished them “all the best.”

I am convinced that Susan has a glittering career in front of her, and I know she is loved hugely by people from all over the world, and especially the US. I am sure that she will have a number one album before very long – I think Mr Cowell will make sure of that – and I will certainly be buying it.

Good luck Susan, in everything you do!

Susan Boyle has completed her performance in the final of Britain’s Got Talent. She sang “I Dreamed a Dream” again – the song that she first sang at her audtion – and she performed it brilliantly. We now have another half an hour (at the time of writing) of nail biting before the results of the public vote are announced.

Watch Susan’s performance and the judges remarks here:

Susan Boyle’s performance in the final of Britain’s Got Talent will be watched in person by Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. Demi has confirmed that she will be flying over to watch the final today, according to a report in The Sun.

Demi Moore’s praise of Susan Boyle on Twitter was what helped to make Susan Boyle an internet phenomenom, especially in the US.

Simon Cowell has offered Ms Moore and her husband, the very handsome Ashton Kutcher (I fell in love with him during his film the Butterfly Effect), free first class plane tickets and accommodation in The Dorchester.

Ms Moore’s invitation to attend the Britain’s Got Talent final was also made via Twitter. Amanda Holden used Twitter to invite Demi and Ashton over to watch the BGT final, offering Simon Cowell’s private jet as an inducement.

Yesterday Demi replied saying: “Well, if he offers the ride…”

Simon Cowell vetoed the use of his jet – but offered the next best thing.

Amanda tweeted: “Message for Demi!! Please someone get this to her… Simon says Yes!! But to first class tickets!!!”

Demi then responded back to thank Amanda and Simon — and to check the start time of Saturday’s final.

“What no private plane?” she joked.
