The British version of American Idol has discovered some real bonafide talent, Susan Boyle, unlike American Idol which tends to focus on a “marketable” performer.
Britian’s Got Talent has Simon Cowell in his usual form, Piers Morgan, and Amanda Holden. Performers audition and make it to the stage where they can be voted of Gong Show style. The season’s discovery is Susan Boyle, the cat lady.
But the performers are not all singers. There is no age limit.
This is not Susan Boyle
Have you heard Paul Potts sing? He won the competition the first season.
This season’s star is Susan Boyle. Take one look at her face and her dress and her age (47), everything about her… and you might have given a sideways smirk too. But her voice!
Here’s what Piers Morgan said about her baffling performance-
I can remember the moment she first opened her lips perfectly. We were at a big theatre in Glasgow, 3000 people were laughing their heads off, Simon and Amanda were stifling a chuckle, and then she started to sing.
And I can honestly say it was one of the most extraordinary moments in my perhaps equally unlikely career as a talent show judge.
Because Susan Boyle is not just a good singer, she’s a fantastic singer. Someone whose stunning range, tone and delivery is worthy of comparison to anyone – Elaine Paige included.
Happy Easter to you and yours,Someone on twitter put up a link to that inspiring and brilliant display of talent late last nite. I went there and there I stayed until 6:00 am The little girl Connie,my god, I just couldn’t tear myself away!Used to sing in the honky tonks myself never going any further,well, in a sense I did,in church.The Britain version is much better but I don’t watch the US anymore,last season I watched was with Reuben and Clay and I thought Clay should have won.(listened to him last nite too)hope I can find my way back to that site.(sorry about being so long winded)
@Sandi Sellers: I still watch Idol, and don’t watch Britain’s version until somebody like this comes along. I suppose there is a lot of crap on the British show…

Britains got Talent is not Britians version of American Idol.
American Idol is Americas Version of Britians Pop Idol.
They are two totally different shows.
You need to get your facts straight before posting a story
Britians Got Talent is a talent show like Americas Got Talent.

Susan Boyle will probably win 2009
@Jamie: Yes I should have done thorough research on U.S. TeeVee vs. British TeeVee so that my blog readers will know the true facts, they depend on me heavily to be completely accurate – especially on British TeeVee programs.
Thank you for getting me back on track.

I really loved the final 5 American idol group song last night. It was a pity to see Aaron Kelly got rid of however I believe the other singers were better so he needed to go!
I saw American Idol winner Lee has just signed up to RCA records. Cannot wait to listen to his new album.
everyone wants to watch americal idol because we love to hear beautiful voices. *“
